Yes, you read it right: SUMU /sumu/, not sumo hi hi hi hi...Sumu means fog in Finnish. This morning is VERY foggy, but I woke up with a wonderful sense of contentment and energy. It's weird 'coz I'm not really a morning person. I get more "hyper" during the night, not in the morning hi hi hi...Well, I'm NOT hyper, actually, but I get more energized during the night. My close friends used to get scared when I called them at around midnight 'coz I got pretty wacky and crazy then. I'd tease them a lot and they'd beg me to stop. *evil grin*
Anyway, I won't post anything much 'coz I have to study for my course this evening and yesterday I didn't have time to do that, so today I'm doubling the time. I just want to share this lovely song with you. Max introduced me to this song and I just LOVE listening to it over and over and over and over again he he he...Hope you enjoy it, too, even though it's in French hi hi hi...It's from the musical Le Roi Soleil.
Here's "Mon Essentiel" by Emanuel Moire.
Breathing in the air of contentment,
I find myself giddy with excitement
To make the most of today
And share some smiles with the world.
I LOVE THIS LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The trick is in what one emphasizes.
We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy.
The amount of work is the same.
Carlos Castaneda
