In this month of Easter...

I wanted to share these few quotes that are a little more on the rough side than your usual words of wisdom. They are more like the "Wake up + see!" type of words. If some of you don't know by now, I get these quotes every work day on our internal company website + save the ones that are worth reading over again + again for my own personal growth + to one day share it with others. Things that make you go, "Hmm."

"Hate is a prolonged manner of emotional and spiritual suicide."
--unknown

"Criticism is the one thing that most of us think is more blessed to give than receive."
--unknown

For the 40 days of Lent, I chose to abstain from divulging in staying up late, since it is one of the habits I loved to do since college. Unfortunately, I was only good about it on 2 out of the 40 days. I actually went to bed by 10:30 pm on both nights. Evidently, that didn't quite work out to be consistent. I will need to try much harder this week + for the rest of the month since Easter is coming up quick.

I have been taking Echinacea supplement tablets for the last 3-4 days to ward off any colds from neighbouring family, friends + workmates. I pray they all return to 100% good health soon because there are so many people that are affected, but I also don't want any of it! ;) It's a very big day for a number of people this Saturday--namely me + J-- + I need to kick my butt to make sure that I am well-rested, well-fed, not stressed, + healthy for the remaining days of this week. It will be awesome to see all these people gathered in one place!

Take care. 4 days remain...
