Nothing like a little glass of champagne (er, sparkling wine) after a long day of dealing with people. A few marashino cherries in the bottom and you've practically got a meal!
As I get older, I realize that the themes of my dreams are recurrent. Sometimes it's even the same dream with a couple of new twists added in. The last few nights I've had some of these dreams - very vivid and very emotional. I would give my left ear to know how to interpret these dreams and learn from them what I need. I... Read More
I've been doing some deep thinking today. I am still struggling with forgiving myself for things I've done. What has happened in the past sticks with me for a long time. I replay the episodes over in my head, knowing that I can't change the past but regretting that they turned out the way they did (whether or not it was my doing). Stupid nonsense... Read More
Do you also have a lot of anxiety over the future? I've been thinking about this issue a lot lately, and I've come to think that we introverts spend so much time inside our own minds that the lines between past, present, and future begin to blur, and it makes past failures or embarrassments much more immediate and painful. For me, it also works with fear of future problems--fear of failing or letting somebody down, fear of doing something wrong, that kind of thing.
I'm not Buddhist, but I've been reading some of Brad Warner's stuff on this sight lately, and I've rather enjoyed the Buddhist view (or at least Brad's view) on reality of the moment--the idea of becoming in touch with the here and now and the reality of it, as opposed with the past or future which really doesn't exist for us except in our own minds. Interesting stuff.
I had a dream about the ex last night...in a way, it was frustrating. He apologized and made amends for all the horrible things he said. Of course, this is what my mind wants to hear, but I know I'll never hear it from him. On the other hand, the dream was a relief, a way of my psyche to deal with the end of... Read More
It is a beautiful day outside. The sun is shining and the birds are singing. Each day I wake up in Colorado, I knew I made the right move. The rest will come together over time.
Yes indeed. I am back. It feels a bit odd, I must admit. Life has changed so much in the last year. I am an entirely different person it seems. But much improved. Here's to making some friends, locally and online, as well as seeing some beautiful ladies daily.
It's only 10:30 pm and I'm exhausted. Would it be lame if I went to sleep right now? I can't think of anything I'd rather do besides being warm and cozy in my bed, listening to the rain patter against the roof with a warm, fuzzy kitten curled up on my chest.
Man, you know you're getting old when you can't stay up until Letterman... Read More
