So, I've been thinking...

Every time I hear someone say "so, I've been thinking", or it comes out of my mouth, it still reminds me of my college boyfriend breaking up with me; but that's another story for another time. I recently heard a really great quote: "In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity." - Albert Einstein

The last week has been tough (maybe due more to the fact that daylights saving took an hour of my sleep) mostly due to the economy. I have been trying really hard to think of ways or changes to our current lives that could make a difference down the road. And during this day and age, that concept is even harder to come by. So I am left with a few ideas and a ton of questions. There are fewer and fewer opportunities, but there are still needs out there.

I guess that doesn't help to be vague, but when you have lots of swirl in your head, you tend to try and wrap your arms around it and hang tight until something seems falls into place. I guess I need to keep pondering about my leap of faith. It might be a good idea on paper - but in real life, it scares the crap out of me. Off to do more research.

Just thinking

Life isn't always the way you plan it to be/go. During this time when my generation deals with an economy that leaves something to be desired, I find that looking for happiness in the smallest places helps get one through the day. I got a "thought of the day" email and it reminds me that life isn't always about fate, sometimes we have to take it into our own hands and make something out of it. So even when you feel like you can't keep going - think about this:
