"Just don't sweat it... smart people always worry about something because they have a heightened sense of right from wrong, as well as "am not" and "should be".
In a span of two seconds, 3 different things ran through my mind on what I should be doing and what I'm not doing - all to obtain a sense of productivity for the day. Ay ay ay... Chiiiiill....
Feels like I'm running, when I should be walking.

Weekend blessings
I'm supposed to be studying. I will get back to that in a minute after I write something that is on my mind.
In the past (and will most likely find myself struggling with it in the future), I freak out when it's Saturday night or Sunday. It's because it means its closer to Monday; time for work. Don't get me wrong, I like my job (a lot), but I feel like weekends are so short and there's not enough time to do the things I want and need to do. However, that's all going to change. I noticed that I will miss out on my weekend by worrying about Monday. Monday will happen to matter what. I need to enjoy my blessings now... even if I am not off to some exotic island or fabulous European destination (I'll eventually get there). Just the other night, I enjoyed time with my family at my sister's house for a delicious dinner. Before that, I enjoyed a nice stroll in Midtown East to kill time (waiting for hair appointment), enjoyed the weather, and picked up frozen yogurt to eat on my way home. Then today, I get to relax and be productive at home (chores, to-dos, study, etc.). Not boring; just not traveling. Having someone at home with me who actually wants to be home with me is another blessing.
So now, when someone asks me how was your weekend, I will say "It was pretty good!... just too short."
That reminds me, #43: No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

Superwoman
If I feel like superwoman from having a busy, tough, and productive day, which ended in soreness and exhaustion, then single working parents are heroes. I don't know how they do LIFE PLUS a CHILD(ren). Go them.
So much to do, so much to think about. I find myself having to actually write down that I have to cut my fingernails just so I could remember things like that among all the other chaos going around and in my head. I need a vacation.

2012
I just finished watching "2012". Do people really believe the world will end or something really bad will happen? 20 minutes after the movie ended, I opened up the bible and it-so-happened that I stumbled across Genesis 8:21-22 (The Flood) - The Lord smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: "Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done. As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.
I've always believed in His word. Why stop now.
[edit]
So I hear we're going to go through a great big fire... I guess I'll have to keep reading the bible to see if that's really true.
