Cleaning my ears! If I don't use q-tips every day then my ears drive me crazy! The rest of my body can fall apart but God forbid I don't clean my ears! My whole day will be one of misery!

For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
