It's amazing where we spend our time in our minds. At least when I look at my mind and how I can't seem to control it very well. The thought patterns. Obsessions.

The question:
28 What characteristic do you most dislike about yourself?Oh dear - how uncomfortable. Right now I feel rather selfish. Not really doing anything for anyone else. Not giving any money to all the many charities who are asking right now. I have thought of giving to unicef and might do that today. That might assuage my guilt a bit. I ( Read more... )

I really think I might have caught a cold. I usually always get one in March and it is March and I have a stuffy nose and gunk coming down the back of my throat. Was awake in the night with a sinus headache and my eyes ached all morning ( Read more... )
