Night Thoughts

Favorite things of this very moment (10:28 pm CST):

• The prosepect of caffeine in the morning


• That beautiful little candle holder which I bought for a single dollar which helps brighten my little corner of the world.


• iTunes


• Gotye ( http://gotye.com/ ) ...you'll fall in love with him. He's magic


• Finding Hassan II Mosque patterned Keds on Zazzle while I was doing some research earlier... ( http://www.zazzle.com/mosaic_hassan_ii_mosque_morocco_shoes-167240258580568706 ) ...seriously, how cool is that?

As you may have guessed, I'm working on my rewrite for Tramp. I decided to start by retrieving more information and taking more time to look at all the pictures I could find of Hassan II Mosque that I could. It's a beautiful building. I'm Christian, but I can greatly appreciate the beauty of any house of worship. The mosque definitely deserve to be seen by all. Such gorgeous mosaics and windows and carvings and floors...I mean everything about the place is class and detail. Two things I greatly appreciate in good architecture and design. Honestly, I would advise you to take the time to look at the pictures, or, even better, if you are ever in Casablanca, Morocco, take the tour. They have several tours throughout the day Saturday-Monday.

Well, now that I've sounded like a travel company informercial...

Life is going.

I recently read in a Real Simple that the best advice one woman had ever been given was that she should never try to solve problems at night. She was told that it's always harder to solve problems facing the darkness. Everything is easier when you get to face the morning light. I thought that was kinda cheesy at first, but in the past few weeks, testing that particular bit of advice, I find that it's true. When I start worrying at night, I write a list or a quick note and then leave it for the morning. I tend to work out problems as I type away at work. It gives me more time to think about life and to reframe the problem. Things really do feel a lot less scary when you deal with them in the light. I highly recommend trying this one out yourself.

And with that...Good night.
