"Look at life as an energy economy game. Each day, ask yourself, Are my energy expenditures (actions, reactions, thoughts, and feelings) productive or nonproductive? During the course of my day, have I accumulated more stress or more peace?"- Doc Childre and Howard Martin
Once again I find myself at this point where I'm stressed out and yearning to be calm amidst the chaos of my job. Everything else is really going well (except that I'm starting to get sick again- but I think that being stressed out is one reason for that). I'm so thankful for the wonderful people in my life. My housemates/community members being on the top of that list right now. Living "in community" defintely helps a lot in getting through the rough stuff. Just being able to go home and hang around in the kitchen, dining room, and living room - to joke and dance and eat and knit together-- those are the moments that make the others more bearable.
I've also thinking about how much community living is a good model for what family life should be like.
well, gotta get back to work again. I'll try to update more soon.
