Growing Pains

A lot is changing around here. I feel like I'm moving in slow motion, in a desperate attempt to keep up with a stream of due dates and commitments. Lately my sleeve is subject to snot and tears. Gross, I know. It's an unusual sadness that hits me like a wave and grabs me by the ankles. An emotional undertow.

So, what to do? I embrace it and walk with it for a while. I get to know myself during a time of change.

I plant a mini herb garden with my new roommate. Thyme, basil, mint, and parsley to the rescue. 
Growing some baby herbs for my growing pains.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. - Steve Jobs
Life is still good. Life is great, even during temporary moments of sadness.
