“Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.Life is beauty, admire it.Life is a dream, realize it.Life is a challenge, meet it.Life is a duty, complete it.Life is a game, play it.Life is a promise, fulfill it.Life is sorrow, overcome it.Life is a song, sing it.Life is a struggle, accept it.Life is a tragedy, confront it.Life is an adventure, dare it.Life is luck, make it.Life is too precious, do not destroy it.Life is life, fight for it.”― Mother Teresa
The New Year is getting deliciously close! So much anticipation! :) Who knows what will be in the works for us all? Something good. Remember when you're looking for something good that you'll find it and lots of it! But also when you're looking for doom, you'll find plenty of that too!So in 2013 what will you look for?What will I look for? The happiest thing in the universe, of course! Dark Chocolate.This year remember to always look for the best in people and things.. Expect it, because when you expect the best somehow people and situations rise to your expectations.

Ever inpatient to know the future? Yeah..me too! Super inpatient at times...,but I want to learn to live in the now. In this very moment, I want to always try to think about what I can be grateful for and excited about in the present second- things big and small and live them patiently and happily. This is difficult... Or at least for me it is. I need the gift of Patience for Christmas Dear Saint Nick, And I need it now, Sir! ;)
Though I am still a firm believer in a healthy addiction to planning and list making. - Yes, it's true! I make lists for fun. - But I want to turn my focus on living the now and celebrating the moments as they come and truly soaking in life and the beautiful people that live in it.
Below is one of my favorite quotes of all time, such beautiful words.
“Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day.” ― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
Last night I saw this Poptech talk from journalist and author of Outliers and Blink, Malcolm Gladwell. It made me think, quite a bit. It is worth a listen. Happy Monday from South Korea, ya'll!

I have emails to write and things to do tonight. A busy, busy night, with a cup of home-brewed Starbucks cinnamon coffee to keep me energized, like the bunny! but I thought I'd procrastinate first by posting a little blog.* caption: It's a big 'ole world out there, but our job is just to take one step at a time and enjoy every blessed moment. --- And on that note, I'm off to take another step!

p.s. a large gecko just ran up the side of my wall, larger than usual. Good thing it wasn't a rat. I might have screeched. But geckos they are just cool, so they have permission to run up and down my wall as they please.
