Grass is Always Greener When There is This Much Rain
Dragged myself outta bed this morning to drive Jordan to work because I feel awful that he has to bike/bus in the rain. Groggy eyed and a block away from the apartment I almost a) killed a squirrel and then subsequently b) killed a biker. Immediately I thought - stupid squirrels - followed by - stupid biker. Then I thought - oh no, it is going to be one of those kind of days.
Thing is I know that I should squeeze every drop of enjoyment I can possibly get from how my life is right Now. It won't stay this way much longer. Yesterday I sat curled up on my couch, rain pouring down outside, fleece blanket wrapped around my body and I read. I realize that there were thousands of people yesterday getting lectured by an incompetent boss or yelled at by an irate customer or bored to death in a beige cubicle that would have killed to be at home, curled up, reading. I don't want to be a grass-is-always-greener type girl.
It is about the balance. Too much vacation makes vacation less novel. Too much work that you dread sucks your soul from your chest. Balance. Jo had a great idea while brushing his teeth last night before bed. "What if me and you could trade off. You could go to work and I could stay home until both of us needed a change and then I could go to work and you could stay home. It would be PURRRFECT!" I must say, it would be. Purrrrfect that is.
Have created one thing - the new CSL Vancouver online store filled with merchandise! Fun. There is also the Team Spiritual Mind Treatment series of T-Shirts designed by JoDesign, produced by Jordan. They are fun and even kinda controversial. Not alot of people are comfortable yet calling themselves God. Heehee. Check it out:

Everyone send job and money energy my way. I will be here. Catching the love you're sending.
I will leave you with some quotes from kids under the age of 8 that are more telling than they first appear. May their advice guide you today:
"The moon is a planet just like the earth, only it is even deader."
"A hurricane is a breeze of a bigly size."
"Rainbows are just to look at, not to really understand."
