Ecclesiastes 1:8 All things are wearisome, more than one can say. The eye never has enough of seeing, nor the ear its fill of hearing. (NIV)
 

I wasn’t quite there but I was close. My godly grandmother had warned me about having too many irons in the fire. I just wasn’t listening.

Proverbs 25:27
(excerpt from Morning Meditations by Martin Wiles)
 Proverbs 25:27 Just as it is not good to eat too much honey, it is not good for people to think about all the honors they deserve. (NLT)

Moonstruck
Proverbs 25:16
(excerpt from Morning Meditations by Martin Wiles)
 Proverbs 25:16 Do you like honey? Don’t eat too much of it, or it will make you sick. (NLT)
 Moonstruck is one of those oldie but goodie terms. If you’re under forty, you may not even know what it means. I’ve heard it but never used it. According to one dictionary, it means an inability to think or act normally because one is so much in love.
