As I try to pound out an answer to a brutal Environmental Law take-home exam, as I berate myself for dropping the ball on the readings for this class, as I yawn and rub my eyes and wish that I'd picked up some chocolate and remind myself that it's too late for chocolate anyway...I keep reminding myself:

This isn't suffering. You are incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to do this. In choosing to keep on keepin' on, you honour the blessings that the universe is showering all over you.

Then I stick my tongue out and raspberry the universe, and then I go to bed because I am WIPED OUT.

Good night darlings! Wish me luck!
