It’s a month before Christmas, I’ve
just had Thanksgiving, and yet I feel angry and irritable and a little low. I
guess it’s probably a range of things, from lack of exercise, to the fact that
I have so much work – maybe it’s just that I want to get home; all these
Christmas songs are making my heart ache for home.
But a heart filled with joy is no
impossible thing, and so I’m striving for that. Hoping to be suffused with the
pleasure that comes from learning, expanding my mind and further understanding
this miraculous life through the reading and the work I have to do (forgetting
the stress and the despair so richly intertwined with fast approaching
deadlines). After all learning about
humans and their relationship, perceptions and similarities with wolves is, in
my opinion, really quite a rewarding and fascinating topic.
So here’s to perseverance, patience
and peace – that pointed towards productiveness, I may avoid procrastination and
find pleasure in the purity of honest studying.
I decided to collect three proverbs to present; for people to ponder, and to enrich them in mind and soul.
- That the birds of worry and care fly over you head, this you cannot change,but that they build nests in your hair, this you can prevent. -Chinese Proverb
- If you close your eyes to facts, you will learn through accidents. ~ African proverb
- Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
