Books

A commonly used blog title, and for a good reason.

Books are just the best.

Books I have so many of.

Books I would like to buy more of.

Books I love!

There was a time back when I started my Christmas list that I decided it was necessary to stray from the whole Chapters gift card path that my list usually travels down.

The simple truth of the matter is: I have too many books that I haven't read.

Instead of buying more, I have decided to not buy another novel until I have read every single book on my shelves. This may take a while, but I have patience.

Then, Friday came along.

After I got up till the time I went to bed I acquired $45.00 in the form of two Chapters gift cards. This is not helping people.

As Papa pointed out, they don't expire. Which is wonderful because I won't be spending them for quite some time.

Life right now

I haven't written in quite a while and I believe you all deserve an explanation. 

The very cold, hard, truth is that I don't feel like it. 

I realize that that probably sounds lame. It's not exactly a writer block moment; I just don't feel like it.

Here's the thing about life right now:

I can't stop thinking about the fact that I could be stuck in the same office, at the same desk for the next 45ish years of my life. I am not okay with that, and I don't know how to make the change without taking my whole life and flipping it upside down.

Here's the thing about life right now:

I bought a super sweet, little, cute car that needs the starter replaced, among other things. 

I'm not naming any names or placing any blames, but I'm unhappy sir; you know who you are.

Here's the thing about life right now:

I'm slowly working on this sermon that I'm supposed to be preaching to the thousands (that's a hyperbole) in little over a week (that's not). I'd like to say that this is going to be easy, but I have a feeling that some of the older people in the congregation will not appreciate the usual humour that I like to add to life. I guess the worst thing that happens is they request that I don't speak anymore.

 

Although these things aren't very horrendous, they don't add much joy to certain areas of life. I still strive for happiness on a daily basis, but it is these things that hang there over me while I go about my day, just waiting to attack.

I leave you with this quote I've found:

 

"Sometimes I feel like I'm searching too hard. As if what I'm looking for isn't meant to be found yet. I have to keep telling myself, 'Have faith in what you don't know.' It's harder than it seems."
