Before my interview Thursday, I began to freak out a little, okay a lot. I knew I was prepared, but I still got incredibly nervous and on the verge of a full blown panic attack. My boyfriend was working, so I couldn't disturb him, so I texted a very good friend of mine who always seems to calm me down. When I told him I was freaking out he told me that everything would be okay and that I would do great. Then he texted me this:
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamt I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head, and I cried
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
I'll always love you and make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me to love another,
You'll regret it all one day
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
Please don't take my sunshine away
And while I could have used most any picture for today's Moment of Zen, I chose the one above. It looks kind of sunshiny. If you don't know who the guy in the middle is (and if you don't, what rock have you been living under?), it is Pietro Boselli. Boselli has a PhD in mathematics and paid his way through graduate school by modeling. He lectures at the University of London. He's also Italian. (swoon) I'm not a math person, so I do not understand what he actually studies. Advanced mathematics is something that is way over my head. Isn't it just unfair that someone can be that beautiful and that brilliant? He posted the above picture to Instagram which shows the math teacher/model striking a pose with Spanish model River Viiperi and Texan model Parker Gregory.

One of life's gifts is having very good friends you can turn to when the "freak outs" begin. :)
From all you have said, Joe, you were not only memorable, but a charming and oh so qualified candidate. I'm sure they thought highly of your presentation.
Love the photo choice. He has been on other sites and is always a pleasure to see.
My thoughts and prayers are with you always.
I did a post recently about personal mantras. "You are my sunshine" sounds like one that works for you. Shine on!
Are you familiar with Simon and Garfunkel's "Only Living Boy in New York"? Appropriate lines:
"I know you've been eager to fly now.
Hey let your honesty shine, shine, shine now,
Do-n-do-d-do-n-do
Like it shines on me."
