Not Just a Tidbit

Certain days are harder then others..some days it hurts me to be awake..on those days I must

decide to keep walking and be insistent that I must be gentle with myself..


Because success on those particular days is functioning..

I will request,from a key person,  a tidbit in the morning..it is not just a tidbit ..it can have the
power of motivation..

we are not always aware the power we can have in other's lives

Cruel? Is It?

A friend of a friend breaks down my appearance..what style of dress I wear..what color eye shadow..

When I have been told that everything would be better perhaps even perfect if I looked differently

His behavior has been explained by both men as " all in good fun".. it is not fun to me.. and when the focus

is physically and emotionally uncomfortable..then doesn't it become at a certain point

CRUEL?

"Carry the One"

I was talking to a man about the month of January..I offered that January could be a holiday let down
month..he assessed people seem to be more cranky this month..perhaps they are elements of an emotional remainder bin happening in society I responded

He said," remember to carry the one" 

I thought that was a brilliant way to remind myself that I am only responsible for myself

Buddhism

I called a friend regarding a feud I have with a certain person in my life..I left  a voice mail..panting

I did not think I was maintaining any anger towards this person and then I was in the same room with
this guy .... he attacked me and I  made all these classic mistakes..letting him get to me..

The woman friend texted me..she wrote that she understood..that she had had similar experiences and she turned to Buddhism..

HAS IT REALLY COME TO THAT?

Ways to Express It

I was spending time with a mother and an adult daughter and they brushed against each other.

They both used it as an opportunity to give each other a little hug.. ..letting all feelings go
except for love and choosing  a way to express it

David Letterman

I was inspired by David Letterman today.  I watched his interview with Oprah Winfrey.

He said that his behavior was inconsistent with the image he  had of himself and that he was searching for why that is..

I  can relate to that..I have exhibited behavior in my private life that is contrarian to a
more positive confident personal presentation and I should find out why..

Cotton Candy

I shared a crosswalk with fifth graders ..coming from the bus-stop..discussing their day..

the leader of the pack," he gave me all of his cotton candy..he said I could have it all..he is just the
nicest person"
