I had one of those kinds of days today which kind of lights your fire, you know? There are some exciting things going on...but at the same time...there's a chance some things just stagnate and start molding so to speak. But one of the things I realized, even as I was challenging students, is that our attitude and response to circumstances and to other people gigantically factors into how hopeful we feel about the immediate future.
There is such a thin line between frustration and fervor...despair and delight...anxiety and anticipation!
When you're on the wrong side of that equilibrium, how does one generate the emotional energy to alter attitude? Is it merely an act of the will? Is it chemical or biological? Is it an act of God...the Spirit's nudge on just the right endorphin?!

Maybe a good cup of Starbucks to push you back over the line? If we fall into the frustration mode in the next several weeks, let go try the coffe thing together and see what happens.
