Try to find pleasure in the lack of noise.
Sometimes peace and quiet is a good thing.
And it's only one click away from the drama.

Good point.

Secret messages!

When the wind blows, sometimes it's best to take cover and wait for it to blow over. Conversely, it may be advantageous to utilize the gales and gusts to exercise your sense of discernment and possibly even your sense of humor in the face of blustery days.

When the wind blows...

...the cradle will rock

And we all know what happens when the bough breaks...

when the bough breaks...
the baby discovers that she can fly

Fly!

You visit at strange times these days.
Are you thinking a lot?

My days tend to be filled with appointments and starting this week it's job hunting. I'll start school in winter. I put in my admissions application and will take my placement tests in a few weeks or so.

I changed my mind about librarian. I was in the counseling office and read a brochure on horticulture. I think I'm going for that instead. If it gets boring or I find I don't like it in general, then I'll go back to work on my MLS. I would like to play in the dirt all day and come home to read more than play with books all day and come home to the dirt. Gardening and books are my favorite things.

Ethel, I think about a lot of things, but it always ends up with the thought that what I did and how my life's going right now is exactly what was needed for my whole family. That's the good part. The bad part is looking for a job and an apartment.

How have you been lately? Has it cooled off in your area yet?

You can lead a whore to culture, but you can't make her cast her pearls before swine.
The coffee is kicking in now.

You do exactly what you want to do, you have nothing to lose.
As you said, you can always go on to librarian stuff, but I think you'll be happier with horticulture. Seriously.
You'll get everything you need by being positive and knowing that it will happen.

I have had a pressure/sinus/exploding type headache for 3 days now, even while sleeping. I don't like it much.

I'm trying not to worry about my fragile existence. Just trying to enjoy each peaceful day as I live it. It's not easy for me not to worry.
One foot in front of the other.....

The heat is gone. Today it's cool and cloudy.

Knowing and forgetting can go hand in hand. Having the reminders sure are nice.

You should write it down somewhere.
I won't be around forever.

I've written it down on post-its and taped them to my walls and doors and windows. That should do it.

Now I have to start doing that, too.

good morning

Unghuhgghuh

This has been a long and tortured day.

Glad to be back here with the lunatics.

Yay for lunatics!

My day was kinda sucky as well. Not quite torture, but yucky just the same.

Well, tomorrow is another day.

*looking all over for my green velvet drapes and a long curtain rod*

This is now tomorrow.
It's another day.

I have to do some work today.
Luckily, this place is being boring, so I won't get distracted.
Much.
hehehe

good morning!

I ran all over town and got nothing done today.

I hate days like this.

Tomorrow is almost here!

Did you take a nap?

It was hot here today.
Very hot.

Tomorrow you can get more stuff done.
Today was a "nothing going to happen" day.

Boo!

Today was a sit at the comp all day day. I did pull some weeds and ran the dishwasher, but nothing to speak of as far as forward momentum goes.

Tomorrow is another do nothing day I'm sure.

Yeah, today is a "nothing's gonna happen day".
For sure.
I'm not doing anything.
It's a weird, disconnected feeling that I have.

but we have fireworks

: fireworks :

Nothing wrong with disconnecting once in a while. Permenantly isn't even so bad as long as you can still feel your body when you get a cut or something.

I'd like to disconnect today, just for a mini-vacation if nothing at all.


Fireworks are nice.

Monday is coming now.
Mondays aren't my favorite days.
I like Fridays and Saturdays.
Monday always meant the end of freedom for another week.
I need to develop a more positive attitude.

Auroras over Sweden on Aug 19.. Note the twilight-blue glow from the Arctic sun.

Cool pics, Ethel. Wow!

Good morning

I borrowed the pics from CE's thread

Good day.

A great good morning to you.
Today is Tuesday.
Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to remain calm, happy and centred, no matter what happens.
Good luck.

Thank you.
It will be a wonderful day!

We've been having lovely summer weather today.
If I could fly, I would.
Can't seem to find my wings, though.
Must be at the dry cleaners.
hehehe

Stop by the dry cleaners and fly off to a nice picnic spot near a lake or something.
It was hot here.
My day was productive so that spells wonderful.

Any good news?

Just got a lot of paper work done. That's good news. The done part.

It's Wednesday!

It's a beautiful day and I have to go outside!


But first I have to wake up.
