Though the first is good too! I guess appreciating the value of everything that you encounter may be the best policy. You know...enjoy what there is to enjoy...yeah, I really do love that saying.

So, yesterday...KRG ( I refuse to call it World Peace Prayer meeting...that's just so awful!)...was really good. I mean, the meeting was all right, but I felt really good afterwards. I realized that I have to take responsibility for my own practice...and that I can and have to a small extent. I bought the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin. I've been having the desire to flip through it and do some studying...but didn't have it. Plus I had the money at the time to do so...also did kofu fund. Hurray for me! Let's see if I can do $5 a month on my own...that would make me happy. It's the idea of consistancy and sincerity that counts...not the amount. So, yep, I think my stint in Japan made me more religious...or at least, gave me the courage to be openly so. The great thing about SGI buddhism is that it's not very judgemental, so I can be totally religious and not be annoying to others. Yeah! Hmmm...empathy is a good thing...anyway.

My Japanese paper with suggested revisions from HK came late yesterday afternoon...grrr. So I couldn't go to Ghungroo 'cause I had to work on it...made me rather mad. I was grumpy doing my readings and such, and dinner didn't do much either for my mood. I hate it when I feel unloved for no reason. I mean, it was my own fault I ended up sitting in the middle of a MUN planning meeting. And...yeah. Just stupid stuff. I knew it too, so I came back to my room right quick and did some D's. Felt much better.

Ed came over and we hung out for several hours...:D Ahh...what a nice neck rub! There was about 12 months of tension buildup and now I feel a lot better. All right, ya'll I'm sure you can see where this is going, so I won't insult your intelligence by stating the obvious. What? You don't get it? Then never mind. ;)

It's supposed to storm tonight. I love storms. I hope it just downpours with lots and lots of thunder and lightening. :D Got piano class, editing, and maybe a bio study meeting. Maybe. Kinda sleepy, but resisting the urge to nap. Too much to take care of. So...off to take care of it.
