What's on the shuffle right now? Gravity by Sara Bareilles (wth?)

I've been working my ass off. I haven't had to work in a long time, and I still don't have to. I took this position because something told me that I shouldn't pass up this amazing opportunity. My guilt kept me from wanting to be away from Indy for too long at any given time, so I hesitated for a few weeks. Now that we've tentatively worked something out, I'm feeling better about the decision.

From 0-60, I've jumped into this, and when I get home at night, it's all I can do to keep from sitting on the couch and falling asleep. I know that the first two weeks at any job can be stressful, so it's okay for now. I'm fighting the urge to do nothing after work, I mean, who wants that to be their day: work, home, sleep. No thanks. Last night I came home, made dinner, ate, cleaned the kitchen, the family room, the living room and then did laundry. I played some Wii Mariokart with Indy and then fell asleep next to him on the couch. Okay, so I did end up falling asleep on the couch, but it wasn't until after I'd been uber-productive.

This isn't a complaint, however. It's a prelude to my actual point.

In moments of quiet contemplation (like I'm allowed in these early morning hours), I'm even more grateful for the ability to do all that I'm doing. I am given what seems like so very much, but is in all actuality the same as everyone else is given. The difference is, I believe.
I believe that the energy is there for everyone. We are given these opportunities and this infinite amount of energy and our responsibility is to direct this energy in the best way possible. We take in the white light of energy and move it forward into the colorful paths that make up our world. No energy=no light=no color.

Corny? Maybe, but this is how I see it, and it's worked for me so far.
