Monday blues hitting me early tonight, so I turned to my favourite author for solace, and I found this:
“I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school.
1) They don't teach you how to love somebody.
2) They don't teach you how to be famous.
3) They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor.
4) They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer.
5) They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind.
6) They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying.
7) They don't teach you anything worth knowing.”
I disagree with (7). I would never had known Gaiman and his gallery of fully-fleshed out characters and personas were it not for school.
Asides from that, spot-on.
Happiness is...
eating too much couscous and lamb tagine with good friends under an overcast sky.
And for the record, i love this site!!!

Terry Reflects
I like to think that he is thinking happy thoughts, but experience tells me he is probably thinking nothing at all at that moment.

Trois Mois aka First of many random posts
It's been 3 months since my last entry. Much has happened, almost all of it work-related. It's mostly been chaotic and for all intents and appearances, has done little to strengthen my state of mind. I wake up most nights in a cold sweat and with my heart racing, thinking that the world around me would collapse due to my incompetence. Mostly, work has put my resilience (or perhaps lack thereof) through the most rigorous of tests.
On the other hand, it has made me turn more to God for strength and advice. I've never prayed or read the Bible more. He has sustained me and given me strength when I have felt spent and adrift. He has also given me alot of help along the way, telling me in no uncertain terms that I am not alone in all this. He has also been advising me to stop treating this stage of my life like the Tour de France, complete with mountaineous and perilously narrow routes and blisters from the pedalling.
I will certainly try my best not to think it so...
