Tales of an addict…

December 10, 2008 by dreamstela

So, last night I received an early Christmas gift. SBUX was having a sale, and well, it was really great timing.

So now I can have lattes and cappucinos at home. Talk about spoiled!
Yum!

It’s a good thing I don’t life coffee.

I’m actually thinking of making “get off the caffeine addiction” my New Year’s resolution.

Well, if I didn’t work at SBUX, the caffeine addiction wouldn’t be so hard to break. But it’s free 4-5 days of the week.
And it took me almost a year to kick my habit, and then I went back to work for the man.

Otium Cum Dignitate

It means "leisure with dignity". It's a concept taken from the ancient Romans - that even though you're having leisure time, that doesn't mean that you aren't still learning or thinking. Imagine sitting in a villa overlooking the mediterranean on your vacation from the hustle and bustle of a crowded city. Not only are you enjoying the view, sleeping late, and drinking some really great wine, but you're also reading philosophy and The Aeniad.

What takes up my time, now.
There are four questions of value in life... What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for, and what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same. Only love.
