Mandelbrot Set

thought for the evening:

I have decided our life is very similar to a Mandelbrot set; officially designated as chaos but certainly contains order hidden in a complex mathematical formula hard to understand but producing a colourful and interesting pattern. (that is not an official definition by the way and if you understand the math formulas, well you are a geek but I still love you)

I guess most families could say that but it only occurred to me today that the seeming chaos we find ourselves in produces the beautiful colours and patterns - an interesting metaphor for how we handle our chaos. I need to remember this more often when the chaos frustrates me.

Ok, enough philosophy - unless you are on the West Coast you should be sleeping at the time of my writing this so I'm off to bed too as my Mandelbrot set begins rather early tomorrow morning:).
