Enjoy your hot chocolate!

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 13:25:34 -0500

A group of graduates, well established in their careers, were talking at a reunion and decided to go visit their old university professor, now retired. During their visit, the conversation turned to complaints about stress in their work and lives. Offering his guests hot chocolate, the professor went into the kitchen and returned with a large pot of hot chocolate and an assortment of cups - porcelain, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the hot chocolate.

When they all had a cup of hot chocolate in hand, the professor said: “Notice that all the nice looking, expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. The cup you’re drinking from adds nothing to the quality of the hot chocolate. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases it even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was hot chocolate, not the cup; but you consciously went for the best cups… And then you began eyeing each other’s cups.

Now consider this: Life is the hot chocolate; your job, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life. The cup you have does not define, nor change the quality of life you have. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the hot chocolate God has provided us. God makes the hot chocolate, man chooses the cups. The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything they have. Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply, Speak kindly. And enjoy your hot chocolate!”

"I am responsible. Although I may not be able to prevent the worst from happening, I am responsible..."

“I am responsible. Although I may not be able to prevent the worst from happening, I am responsible for my attitude toward the inevitable misfortunes that darken life. Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have - life itself.”

- Walter Anderson (via calidre) (via quote-book)

I hate my job a little more everyday. And here I was thinking I couldn’t possibly hate it more than I already do.

I don’t get paid nearly enough to put up with all the bitchy females and drama that make up this place.

I will be beginning a search for other options very shortly.

fuck trig.

I first saw Jadyn Maria around 5 years ago at a Christian youth event/concert and loved her. Sadly, she has yet to actually release a full cd though. Well, girl decided to take BritBrit’s words to heart and implemented the fact that sin really is the new thing. (gah, i’m good. haha). anywho. this is her newest single and just released music video. not going to lie. IT’S HOT.

Love it.

I feel like I’m never happy anymore. I really don’t have anything else to say. I just miss having even moments of happiness. I wish I could smile.

Was I the only one that didn't know this?

Ben (Michael Emerson) from Lost is married to Arlene (Carrie Preston) from True Blood!!! And, from what I just read (and forgot about till now) she actually starred in an episode of Lost as Ben’s mother!
