Hey guys! :)
Today was a good day. Lots accomplished and lots to look forward to. Had a good day at work and a good time catching up in class. I feel better already! (I really don't like falling behind).
So yeah, anyway, how was your day? Good, I hope. Oh! And at the end of the day Brian and I went to Barnes and Noble and sat on the comfy sofas next to the fire place. Oh how I love Barnes and Noble! I can live there. Seriously. :) It makes my heart happy, I love the peaceful and friendly atmosphere there and the promotion of learning. I love to learn. :) I'm what you would call an life-time student. :) The day I stop learning is the day I die.
Anyway, today's quote is quite interesting, so it happens to be something that I've been thinking of pretty often, "fill your cup and nourish others from the overflow." You see, this is what I call the "Starving Baker complex." It's like you are a Baker working in your own bakery, and you're so busy making all of these wonderully delicious confections and creations that while you're supplying food for everybody else and feeing everybody else, you are neglecting to actually feed yourself. That is when you become the "starving baker," is when you're so busy taking care of others that you tottally neglect yourself. And it's funny because you are surrounded by food all day long, but yet you don't grab a bite to eat, so you starve yourself to the point of death, i.e., exhaustion. So let's take this example and let's translate it into this; the starving baker is you, if all you do is think about others, to feed others and take care of others whether you are the one that always ends up listening and helping out that one friend, or whether you are a youth group leader and you always are taking care of other teens or whther you are always the one in the family to have the most responsibility, you can become a starving baker. If you don't inturn take the time and effort to take care of yourself, then you will slowly but surely get exhausted, you will break, and will no longer have the strength to keep doing all that you are doing, unless, you take the time to take care of yourself. If you take care of you, and if you take the time to fill your cup, it will overflow naturally and fill others. So, while taking care of others is great, please don't forget to take care of you. Okay? You need some rest & relaxation too alright? You are important, and if you don't take the time to water your own garden, it will wither and die. So take the time k? You deserve good things too. :)
Well,
That's that ladies and gents
Have a very restful night!

P.S., remember to "fill your cup and nourish others from the overflow."
