5 Things I'm Thinking Today

@Bearlinda - from Dune, Frank Herbert: "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

What/can you see "fear" of being only "I/you/yourselves"? That would be a good solid place to assess about why I think you are "afraid" to do things you think are creative and self nurturing.
 
Hmmm. Tornadic... you need some inspirational reading.

P.S. nasturtiums - make a great salad.[/Q...

Yes, they do! I love 'em.

You can also pickle the seed pods to make what they refer to as "Poor Man's Capers". Haven't tried it yet, but sounds tasty.

I have a Pema Chodron audio book lined up right after I jam out to some tunes and stretch some more.

That should give the mood a bit of an attitude adjustment even if it doesn't change the nature of the initial thoughts.

May the day become as groovy as it can get, in spite of my pain driven expressiveness.
 
Dammit! Now I have an infected blocked oil gland in my right eyelid, so I will have to push back surgery. I have one in the other eyelid but it's not infected. I haven't been doing the compresses on me, just the dogs.

I was really looking forward to seeing again.

My back hurts so badly that last night I woke myself up screaming in pain around 6 times. No nightmares though, the medicine is working. Yay!

I didn't take the chickens after all, I would have too many for the amount of work I can do. My coops are clean and fresh smelling, and my compost piles are turned regularly but it hurts. I have 17 chickens on 1/4 acre lot. I did find someone to take them though.

My son got his permit yesterday, and drove for the first time. We almost got wiped out by a car taking a turn too fast and swerving into our lane.
 
1. I'm 1 1/2 days away from my last day at my job - with the biggest bitch of a boss i've ever known. but nobody's counting ;):cautious:
2. I can do anything for 1 1/2 days
3. I am praying and sending lots of good mojo into the universe because I need another job to come through. I interviewed somewhere Thursday - it feels promising
4. i don't sleep anymore. i can't wait for the stress to leave my body
5. I've never seen this much strength in myself before. I am surprising myself and I'm proud of how hard I'm trying to gain control of my life and seek out happiness
