epiphany

i had a bit of an epiphany earlier today...i realized that, in general, i am not concerned unless convinced (by others or by circumstances) that i should be concerned. whereas i think it may be the other way around for alot of people -- concerned until convinced they shouldn't be concerned. i think there are pros and cons to both.....for the moment, i'm thankful for the lack of worry that comes with not being concerned until convinced to be concerned...

i also think it's interesting that the word epiphany refers to the commemoration of the coming of the magi to Jesus at bethlehem...and it's a sudden striking understanding of something. there's something significant there.

in other news - i think i'd like to start using the word "ethereal" more often. ethereal: an adjective meaning celestial, heavenly, exceptionally delicate, airy dainty. i'll work on that.

can you tell i pulled the dictionary off of the shelf today?
