Prayer

"Great spirits have always encountered violent oppostition from mediocre minds." -Albert Einstein

That's my quote of the week. It's up on the board at work. The commander wasn't a huge fan of that one, which I'd figured on, so I pre-empted and put up one from Gen George S. Patton- "Accept challenges so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory." I think it's a little more straight forward, and the commander is a big fan of simplicity over intricate depth. He and I are quite different, I think.

Today is a rough day for me. I had a really hard time sleeping last night, and it's showing too much today. I'm hungry, tired and more than a little cranky, though I'm trying to combat all of the above. I'm trying to keep focused on the Baha'i principles, because I can't think of anything besides faith that could possibly get me through this day in one peice. I have more work to do when I get home this evening, and may sacrifice my lunchtime nap to accomplish some of it, in hopes I might sleep tonight. There is a battalion level alert tomorrow, that is due early for our company. Ugh.
