Positive Thinking

I have decided that for one month I will not say anything negative. That's right. I won't get involved in any negative gossip. I won't complain about anything. I know that sometimes it's good to vent frustrations, but it can't be a common thing. Like the Bible says "a merry heart does good like a medicine". I think it is true.

For the past two weeks I have had a bad sinus infection and cough. I know it's hard to be positive when I have that happening. I will go to the doctor today to get it cleared up. I know I like natural remedies better, but this isn't going away.

I want to go to Yeouido next weekend and rent a bicycle. The cherry blossoms there are beautiful. I want to go with a friend or a few. I should ask around. Hopefully the allergies will disappear by then.

Good luck with all of that: staying positive, the allergies and the cherry blossoms.

Hades Welcomes His Bride

While an undergraduate student at Andrews University I took a poetry class. I studied some of A.E. Stallings' poetry. She studied lots of classical poetry and literature of Greece. She does translation of poetry from Greek to English. An interesting thing she said was that when she was at university to study ancient, Greek poetry, she came across some poems that described early springtime flowers such as hyacinths blooming at the same time as later spring flowers. She interpreted that as a "golden age". She was later surprised when visiting the Greek countryside and finding those flowers blooming at the same time . She said that sometimes we do have to take things literally. This poem gave me the chills when I first read it. It is so deep and dark. Hades Welcomes His Bride Come now, child, adjust your eyes, for sight Is here a lesser sense. Here you must learn Directions through your fingertips and feet And map them in your mind. I think some shapes Will gradually

So, I haven't been posting lately. I have been busy working on my Master's Degree in English and a Master's Certificate in Human Rights. I have been enjoying my studies overall. I have been challenged a lot by studying Chaucer this semester (hey, that guy lived six hundred years ago).  I hope to get at least a B in that class. I worked on my degree last summer, taking one class over Summer Session I and two over Summer Session II to get things done and over with.  I got an A and two A- grades.  I have been trying to stay afloat with this semester. I ended up with one late paper for Chaucer due to my factory job I had at the time and time management.  I ended up losing a letter grade, which made me upset. I decided that I have had enough of Facebook. I have been contemplating deleting my account.  I have already deleted my Twitter at least a year ago.  I also don't have Pinterest or Instagram.  I know that I use Facebook too much. I must spend less time there. Yesterda
