Why am I doing this to myself?

It's been nearly (in two more days) a month since my last post. Let's just say I've run through just about every single emotion known to man during this time. I have had really high highs and really low lows, and all in between- both at school/work and in my personal life. The good news is that I am still here. There are days that I feel invincible and that I can conquer the world-curing my disease of study along the way. Other days I wonder why in the world am I voluntarily puting myself through the torture of failure after failure for the ever elusive and fleeting successes that pop up ever so often. I will let you know when I figure out a truly philosophical answer. Until then, I will return to my lab bench and continue building plasmids and running gels to confirm their accuracy.

I read an article on contentment and it seems to be something that I need to work on (especially the part about being content when things aren't going well-puzzling I know)...I will leave you with these words from Paul,

 Philippians 4:11-13

11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

Toodles,
Dee.

PS #Oomf is here visiting which makes me oh so happy but has me feeling oh so sad at the same time.
