I don't watch much TV but...

This has to be the best show I have ever seen. The writers truly leave you in suspense at the end of the episode so you are literally drooling yourself until the next episode. Kerry Washington was a great pick and honestly I couldn't imagine who else could play this role as well as her. The dynamic of the cast is good, the drama is awesome, through in the politics of DC and it's every person's dream come true of suspense. I hope this lasts for a while because I am definitely hooked!!!!!

Hobbies, work experience?

I’ve been thinking…why can’t honed hobbies count as work experience? If someone indulges in photography as a hobby and they have proof that they’re rather skilled at it (such as a photo album), why can’t they put it on a resume` and apply for a photographer position at Prestige Portraits? I know that might sound funny, but seriously, why not?

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow." - Melody Beattie

An overwhelming sense of thankfulness flooded me as I wrote each name down. Some have been lifelong friends, some have come in and out, many support my family in some fashion and others are the people that I wake up and share my life with on a daily basis. However, this list in no way encompasses all the people in my life that deserve my gratitude. This is just a small sample of the truly amazing people whom I have gratitude for in my heart:

Sometimes we get caught up wanting things that do not serve us based on what we do not have, all the while what we need is right there within us. The problem with this is that what we don't have and what we need are two very different things and further more what we want is a convoluted perspective. If that was confusing, we are never satisfied while justly always needing more but what we actually need is not much more than what we already have. The worst thing is that in this maze ... sometimes we miss the corridor that holds on to what we are fortunate enough to have.

Quotable Quote

"Perplexity is the beginning of knowledge."-Khalil Gibran, poet & author

I'm a massive control freak and anally like to plan my life. I believe than planning and well-thought out choices reduce the likelihood of dissatisfying outcomes. I hate uncertainty, because it stifles my ability to pre-plan. In trying to embrace the lessons that have and will come during this phase of my life, I try to keep in mind that "Perplexity is the beginning of knowledge."
