happiness

today, i learned an important lesson. happiness is entirely subjective. it is possible to be at work, even at a job you do not enjoy, and be happy. it is all a matter of perspective. being happy at work is about finding happiness in the small things like: gmails, going to lunch with a wonderful boyfriend, laughing with people who are bored as well, listening to a great cd, and knowing you have health insurance and benefits. i may not like my job, but i don't have to be miserable every day. even this job can be fun.

thanks to: pete yorn, doves, the thrills, gregory maguire, james hegar, karen mauldin, patti weig, russell slack, kristy jones, potbelly, starbucks, microsoft publishser, and especially lauren smith for helping me discover fun in the midst of one heckuva boring day.

boo the blogger

well, i wrote the most wonderful post titled, "ode to argyle," which was deleted forever when i tried to run a spell check. i am sad. stupid blogger piece of crap.

The Call of Wisdom

Proverbs 1:
20 Wisdom cries aloud in the street,in the markets she raises her voice; 21 at the head of the noisy streets she cries out; at the entrance of the city gates she speaks: 22 “How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple? How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing and fools hate knowledge? 23 If you turn at my reproof, behold, I will pour out my spirit to you; I will make my words known to you.

שְׁלֹמֹה
Solomon- the wise.

If God offered you any power you desired, what would you choose?

I only wish I would have the humility and sense of purpose to ask for an understanding heart with which to discern what is good and what is bad. Solomon did not ask for genius; he asked for wisdom, which is the sum of a brilliant mind, sound judgment, discipline, a true heart, and righteous intent.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you all!
