Passion…a great quote
14 May 2009What is passion? It is surely the becoming of a person…In passion, the body and spirit seek expression…The more extreme and the more expressed that passion is, the more unbearable does life seem without it. It reminds us that if passion dies or is denied, we are partly dead and that soon, come what may, [...]
Doldrums
29 April 2009It’s another yucky, crappy day. I sat this morning in church and wondered about things…about what is ‘fair’ and why the world is so unbalanced in regards to fairness. Some peole have it all, some people have nothing, some are in-between. I get angry with myself for still having faith sometimes, because I feel foolish [...]
Ecru Day
28 April 2009Most people call a day like today “grey”. I find grey a rather warm color with cool overtones. Today is more ecru, beige, taupe, yucky blah. Not high, not low. Not warm, not cold. Just blah. I feel blah. It is a misty cold rain outside, and following a sunny 80 degree day it makes [...]
Past vs. Future
27 April 2009One day at a time — this is enough. Do not look back and grieve over the past for it is gone;
and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come.
Live in the present, and make it so beautiful it will be worth remembering.
Today is a beautiful day. I plan to [...]
Coping some more….
23 April 2009Today I am beat. I feel like I have been ripped apart and then taped together by some cheap Scotch tape. I stepped out of the shower today and noticed a purple swollen bruise on the front of my shin from where Lazlo accidentally kicked me on Saturday night when I was holding him down [...]
Waste not, want not…in regards to TIME
6 April 2009I noticed a habit this weekend. It’s not just from this weekend, but for months now…I have just been noticing it more lately. I wake up early, have lots of time to get ready and prepare for whatever I am going to do, but then zone out and waste time and end up rushing like [...]
Thinking about Happiness
2 April 2009Happiness belongs to the self-sufficient
Interesting thought…in order to be happy you must be self-sufficient and not dependent on anyone else. Hmmmm….. is that true? Can we live our lives like an island, counting and relying only on ourselves 100% of the time?
Along that line…in a different tangent:
Happiness comes when your work and words are of [...]
Bubblicious
31 March 2009Right now at this very moment I am on the bubble between good mood/bad mood. I had a very tiring day – not necessarily bad, but tiring and perplexing. I fought the after-work crowds at Wal-Mart because I was OUT of pretzels and ravioli. I came home and did some odds and ends on the [...]
Growing Old
30 March 2009I was driving to work this morning and heard a commercial for a ’senior living community’ and started thinking about what will become of me when I get old. I actually had a moment of brief panic. What will I do? I have a very small retirement coming to me, and I am not in [...]
Happy Spring!
20 March 2009Spring 2009…aaahhhhhhh. Of course it is rather chilly today – high of 40, but the sun is shining and today is the first official day of spring, so it is really here (whether or not we believe it!). Spring always makes me feel optimism for the future (meaning the summer). What will happen this year? [...]
