not that the local courier is a credible astrological source, however
i read to / spend time with a 90 year old woman with macular degeneration, so she cannot see well.
today i picked her up from a hair appointment and make cookies with her, ginger snaps to be exact.
we usually read the paper, make fun of stupid news and do crossword puzzles.
sometimes, i read her the horoscope, her birthday is right on the cusp of aries and taurus, so i read both and we decide which sounds better.
i didn't read mine out loud, mostly because it was so true that i'm sure i would have gotten upset reading it aloud in her lovely living room, sitting indian style on her couch in a skirt.... (cuz she's practically blind! so it's ok!, who needs to be ladylike?!?)
"some experiences are bound to be painful. don't obsess about your problems. you don't need to blame yourself or feel guilty for a negative event that develops. look for and accentuate the positive."
thank, universe.
i needed that.
also, my best friend today reminded me that wherever I go, I will make friends, create community and find myself.
and that it's OK to be happy with that you're doing, and who cares what others think. you don't need to do "more" or "better than this" or "bigger" just because you think everyone expects that.
lots of crying later, i think i'll be OK. but it's going to take a LOT of God and less of me.
here's to posting to your blog after happy hour.
