My favorite dessert for Christmas is cannoli.
Agreed. Well prepared food is really one of the nice little pleasures in life. I think life can be really hard and difficult sometimes. It is nice to be able to enjoy a nice meal with friends or family. I think it is one of the simple things that we can almost take for granted.I can only imagine homemade canolli is awesome. Gosh, there is so much good food out there. It's a wonderful thing about humans. We can take the most mundane thing, the need to eat, and turn into something amazing.
I for sure get where the tendency to want to hate a group of people comes from.. I think when we experience hardships and trauma it's really easy to try and protect yourself from getting hurt again by just hating anybody or anything like what you experienced. But like you said, that doesn't make it right and I think it's something we all really need to actively fight in our own hearts. Speaking to myself mostly, I know I can veer hard into man-hater territory at times and it's totally not fair so I work to quiet that voice within me.i don't think it's always so "black and white"
Now I'd hate to say it but the song "people are strange" comes to mind ("women seem wicked when you're unwanted")
I think it's more a matter of current issues within peoples lives,
it doesn't make it right but again I don't know anyone who at some point hadn't felt some kind of bias towards someone or even a whole group of people.
If I may ask for everyone's prayers that things follow through with work as I am hoping they will sometime soon. I had expressed interest to a supervisor in switching permanently to the other lab section I am trained in, in order to conceivably get away from some low-key anxiety inducers such as the loud radio next door, and because I was just starting to feel burnt out in general after being in my current section for over four years now, ever since I first came to this job.
When I got to work yesterday evening I found that some changes are set to be made around the lab this year, such that many positions will be switched around, thus (at least possibly, assuming everything goes through as the manager is foreseeing) opening up a position on another crew entirely in the lab section I was hoping to go. I can see a lot of beneficial value and future headaches avoided in my coming to this particular spot. Should the Lord be willing to make it so.
I decided to end my crush and be more patient. While I'm growing in confidence and feeling much better about myself, in reality, I'm afraid being turned down right now would have a negative impact on my growth. It's not that I can't handle rejection, but just trying to better guard my heart. If someone comes along and expresses interest, great! But otherwise, I will stay focused on my journey.
That is pretty good. I took some French and Italian classes years ago. It's very difficult to become fluent in another language (difficult for me, anyway). It sounds like you are making good progress though.I've been listening to Spanish music & watching TV in Spanish too.
Today I went to the library for a few hours to read children's books in Spanish. I then watched The Jungle Book in Spanish.
I don't think I'll ever be able to speak it fluently, but I do good reading it, & am trying to get better at hearing it.
Someone wrote a book about me?Hey, all you avid readers out there, check out the book Left Neglected by Lisa Genova.
