I have been asking myself this question every time I realize that I am stuck in negative thoughts or when I feel my mood start to drop: “What am I doing NOW?” This is such a simple question, yet it focuses me like no amount of meditation or “becoming the observer” or “letting my emotions […]

Today started out as ‘one of those days’. I woke up late, stubbed my toes in the dark, couldn’t find any clean clothes to wear, fell down the stairs wearing only my underclothes, dropped a box of unwashed vegetables from my garden all over the ground, stepped on the one rotten potato in the box […]

Today, I am feeling optimistic. I am feeling uplifted, I am feeling hopeful, and I have a light heart. I had a dream last night that I was part of a large group of adopted kids who were being treated like slaves by our “mother”. One of my brothers was a huge black dragon called […]

Things I am feeling thankful about: 1) Looking up at the sky this morning and seeing an almost-full moon shining and smiling at me from behind the clouds. It made me feel hopeful. 2) I am thankful that my viewpoint is not warped by religion, politics, or stereotypes to the point where I truly believe […]

Closed Minded – having a mind firmly unreceptive to new ideas or arguments. All of us have closed minds in some regard or another; this is a condition of humanity and a normal survival mechanism. There is something that we each believe and have faith in that cannot be shaken or disturbed, no matter how […]

I am a boring person. I admit it. My favorite activities are reading, writing, walking, listening, humming and thinking. I have never been drunk. I have never been “high”. I have never overdosed on any substance. I have never been to a rowdy concert. The only thing I’ve ever smoked was half of one cigarette. […]

So, yesterday, I was thinking about how difficult it is at times to accept one’s current life – mistakes and bad experiences included. I was looking critically at the various aspects of my life which I feel are out of whack, then the aspects of my life which I feel are great. I started to […]

I’m having one of those days where I want to complain about other people… Ideally, I would be isolated on a mountaintop, venturing down into “civilization” twice per year to stock up on supplies or to take in a good show. This would be my dream life – I’d never have to deal with the […]

I am thinking about the term “Narcissist” and how it applies to me. Apparently, I am a “Narcissist”. Or, so I’ve been told by persons who (I believe) are using the term as a way to categorize my need for independence, dissatisfaction with just “settling”, and drive to do more and be more in my […]

Today is one of those days where I was driving (not speeding, folks, not speeding :D) along toward work and I thought, “Am I present? Am I focused on what I have and what I am doing rather than what I don’t have or what I have to do?” To be honest, I don’t know […]
