Lunch time

I'm eating lunch an hour earlier today cause I had breakfast an hour early. Anyway, I'm expecting to meet with my boss soon and I wanted to make sure I ate before he came. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to eat till after the meeting and that would suck! I hate not being able to stick to my meal plan -- especially during the week when there's no excuse not to. Since it's Friday, there's no turkey sandwich today. But, I have peanut butter, a good substitute! (I've never been a big fan of jelly...)

Also, cause it's Friday, I'll be going to the Stations of the Cross (http://www.catholic.org/clife/prayers/station.php) tonight for a little Lenten meditiation. I try not to be preachy, and I don't think I really am. But, since this is my blog, I can talk about whatever I want. I just find so much peace and comfort when I spend some quiet time in church. It's a way to shut off the rest of the world, even for just an hour, and to let your thoughts flow. Whenever I have a problem that's bothering me, I bring it to God and then, eventually, I figure out a solution or I realize that maybe it's not so bad. Whether it's God or the quiet meditation process, being in church & in prayer always tends to put things into perspective for me... and I love it! I love having that resource -- to take all my problems and bring them to God. It makes the world seem not so bad. And, it's the total opposite of depression... of sinking into your problems when you don't have another outlet except for yourself. That's scary to me -- and I never want to deal with that again! I have too much to love and live for. And every single day, I thank God for all these blessings that I have. And that makes me SO happy. And, while I'll never receieve all the answers I'm looking for, I know there's a reason. And I'm OK with that. ;)

In other news, I am extremely saddened by the shootings Illinois -- I almost cried as I was reading the CNN article (http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/02/15/university.shooting/index.html). The whole thing is sickening! What can schools & universities do to protect themselves and the students? Metal detectors at every entry?

I don't know... but I gotta jet for now!
