On my way home from a job interview, I stopped at starbucks to calm my nerves. Hate when the nervousness follows you from the beginning to the end and then some. Anyway, on the cup was a quote that really caught me where it hurt. To paraphrase, don't chase other people's definition of success. It's countless times that I have found myself wanting other people's lives and experiences. This happens to the point where I've hurt the feelings of my husband and others even as I've caught myself doing it. Is it envy that makes us chase this or is it the insecurity of not being comfortable in ones own skin? |

There's this philosophy about planting seeds and how the act of it is enough to change the world. We are enough, the little Johnny Appleseed we are. I wonder if they still talk about how he planted apple seeds, it's one of the few things I clearly remember him from elementary school. That and the puppet Applesauce. I was very apple oriented.
Anyway, sometimes seeding is nurturing the positive thoughts and throwing it out to the world, hoping the world will send it back to you. Lately, my seeds are blooming. People I had thought forgotten me are responding back! It's enough. Now if I can only get this dern homework done. |

When we first got married my husband and I planned some goals. Finish library school for me, finish the basement for him and in two years, have a baby. Well, the basement is finished, library school is almost done, and as this is 2 years mark. Now, I spend my time staring at babies. They're everywhere. It's like they keep making more of them or something. Being 32 now, I really want one before I turn 35, but I don't what this will mean to my being a librarian. I live in Michigan with two library schools within two counties. I'll have to start at the bottom and work weird hours while starting a family. This is one of the tests of my belief that everything will work out in the end as it's meant to however that ends up. |
