there's more

there's more...today that phrase applies in two ways.
and there is so much more.

my life looks really simple from the outside. and it's simple from the inside as well. that's the way i'd like to keep it. don't sweat the small stuff. why even bother will small issues when there's so much more. it's about the big picture, look at things from a distance and all the small things disappear. life that way becomes so much more relaxed. i don't have energy or time to waste on small things, so why carry all the extra weight? i don't need the extra stress...haha...i could use a little less! i still want to keep my hair! haha..

cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall. Psalm 55:22

i gotta keep focused on the larger issues that fill my life.
and when i can't handle the larger things...the Lord says...
"come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and i will give you rest." Matthew 11:28

there's more...today it applies to work
there more? yes...more doors...about 150 of them...each one has to be listed...
i don't know why, but at the end of my work day, i got happier...
work ended at 6:30...almost everybody gone already, and i was still slaving away trying to figure out which door is made of what material, has what hardware, swings which way. all 150 of them.
why be frustrated when i can be glad that i'm learning so much more about doors...that will take some time...haha...that's the ideal situation...because there will for sure be frustration.

lucy: if you know your stars, you'll never get lost in the woods...see that star up there? that's the west star...if your camp is in the west, you just follow that star...
linus: what if your camp is in the east? is there an east star?
lucy: no, that would make it too easy...

life is never that simple...don't be too naive linus...
