Euphoria is...

You know the feeling at the end of the day, when the hunger pangs start assaulting your insides, your feet may hurt, perhaps you even had a trying day...  Then you think, wonderful, there is nothing in the refrigerator and the last thing that I would like to do is go home and make something from scratch...  Just push it aside and go for it.  Nothing can compare.  Something about mixing ingredients together and watching them turn into an incredibly delicious masterpiece makes one feel like a wizard.

Would I hop on the chance to swing by the store and grab something easy? Yes.   Especially after a long day of acrobatics in the classroom, but the full belly feel has made me feel like I have achieved victory.

Sometimes limited options makes the little things even better.   

More later.  Thought that I'd fill the silence with something.  All is well out this way, fortunately, we did not feel the earthquake that we keep hearing about from back home.  Not a soul mentioned it out here.
