"I am seeking, I am striving, I am in it with all my heart." -Vinc3nt V@n Gogh

Find a way to love what you have, not have what you love. At least for now.

So that was really interesting. I feel HORRIBLE, physically, but I just spent a couple of hours budgeting. This made me feel better.

The surest way to make you feel better about your life is to 1) have goals; and 2) to appreciate on paper what you have and what you can look forward to in your future. I will need to pull my belt in this winter, but I can save enough to go to Italy for a month next spring, if I can get the time off. And this is abstracting from if my promotion comes through, which of course will be even better.

Bowing down in gratitude now. I am not living the high life at home, but I am privileged. I am grateful. I can study more ART! I can study ART! I can sit in those beautiful churches and piazzas and probably for a longer time next time.

Of course I will be eating lentils until then. BUt then I LOVE lentils!

OK. That's all.
