Break time

I am writing this while taking a break from my writing and studying for tomorrow morning. I have a test in 7 1/2 hours. I have a paper due two hours after that. I plan on completing both. I also plan on not sleeping tonight, so I am taking breaks to keep myself alert.
While I am quite stressed and overwhelmed with all that I have going on within the next few weeks, I think this is the perfect time to reflect on why I still have reasons to smile and greet the day. Following I have some links and notes that cause me to pause, to reflect, to pray, or to just be thankful.

This is a link to a website for the son of one of my mom's friends from high school. He was hit by a car and was in a coma for a number of months. He did wake up, but now has a number of hurdles left on his road to recovery. Stories like his inspire me and allow me to see how lucky I have been thus far in my life. Bad things happen to good people sometimes, but in the end the human spirit is stronger than the circumstances. http://www.nickruppert.com/

Secrets. I have many that I do not share with anyone; some that I am ashamed of, some I can't admit to myself. Maybe one day I will share one or some. http://postsecret.blogspot.com/

The best job I have had so far. I confirmed my passions with this one - http://www.bgca.org/

Maybe one day I'll have some interesting links. I realize I am a boring person.

Back to work!
