Half full nothing...it's overflowing!


My life is so full! You can see life as the glass being half full or half empty but I'm feeling like it's more like beverages for two or three or one glass with a puddle forming around it...and not of something boring like water but kool aid or chocolate milk. I'd been thinking recently about how much I have to do and getting a little stressed by it. Then I took a second to realize, all of the things I do are things I LIKE DOING! For example yesterday had a list like this...1. Work at a job that pays well and has air conditioning in the summer to earn money for school 2. Go tutor a fifth grader in reading (doing this for a children's literature class) which means spending time doing something I'm going to work hard for two years to get to do...I love teaching! 3. Run home and make dinner for my dinner group...yeah freinds 4. Drving between all of theses places which translates to 10 minute stints of doing nothing but thinking and watching the clouds. 5. Work on stuff for church calling 6. Contact some friends... 7, 8, 9, all good too! Could life get better? I submit that it could not. I thought of a list of things to do that would be something to get worked up about... 1. Sell hair to buy potatoes for dinner (yes literature reference and no my hair is not that long yet) 2. Chew on glass (think about it...that wouldn't be comfortable) 3. Be not busy and sit around letting my brain turn to mush until it falls out of my head and becomes a side dish to the potatoes for dinner...yuck! See what I'm saying...horrah for busy!

You and your sister are so up beat. It amazes me. Maybe one day I will be more like the two of you.
