What's Happening???

i work in a train office , with a sign that reads .. STOP LOOK LISTEN.. you know how many times people in this office run into me when Im moving about .. plenty. here comes a big dolly stacked with paper moving under its own speed. Lets me walk out in front of you..

 

I think I agree with this on some level but also disagree about emotions not being very meaningful. Although I sort of agree with that too, because i've learned through meditation how to detach oneself from emotions and how not to assign so much meaning to them.

But on the other hand I think some emotions can be quite profound and that if anything brings meaning to our little existance as humans, it is the ability to feel in reaction to the world around us.

 

Yes

 

I've done that at times. Working out also helps. The best thing to do is listen to my body. Each case is different. In this case the best thing to do was rest and stay indoors. Sometimes my body needs a break from doing.

Happiness and especially contentment can be a hindrance to your growth as a person or the exact thing that is preventing you from heading towards your potential. I like happiness as much as anyone but it was through discontent, confusion, and fear that i learned most about myself. It was where any real growth or development happened. If anything i'm beginning to see fear as a powerful learning tool. Follow it. Listen to it. See where it leads you. Its easy to get caught up in resisting it, fighting it, running from it, or worse, in denial of its existence when fear is present.

 

Sorry to hear about the death of Lorraine Warren who co-founded the New England Society for Psychic Research, with her husband Ed Warren.

Together the couple investigated a number of high-profile haunting s, including the Lindley Street poltergeist, the West Point ghost, and the Amityville horror


Can’t help but wonder if Warren who claimed to be a clairvoyant knew in advance the time and place of her own death.

 

so much for my favorite season: spring. yesterday i still needed the heater, today i had to turn on the air conditioner.
(well they're the same unit but its an older kind that you have to change over manually)
i'm sure spring and even winter will be back though, or likely will. this area where i live, the whole region i grew up in,
which is the same couple hundred mile radius, weather owes almost nothing to 'seasons'.

also; "f" "potential" i want gratification. and that don't come from accumulation.
well for me anyway, it comes from creating and exploring.
especially visually illustrating the ideas i see inside my own head.

there are other places i might have gotten, granted,
and some less uncomfortable then some i've been,
but beating one's own head against walls still seems like a stupid human trick.

as does trying to impress anyone with what you can accumulate
rather then with what you can and do make yourself.

oh yes, the other thing i wanted to mention in response to it being mentioned,
ghosts. other then reminding us of our own mortality,
what are they supposed to be able to actually do to us,
and how?

anything that isn't hurting or even potentially hurting anything,
why not just leave alone and let it enjoy whatever it does?

 

Very very sore, inflamed back resonating refered pain EVERYWHERE around my pelvis.

 

when i lived on donner summit, all the roofs were 'tin' (aluminum actually) and steeply peeked, so the snow would slid off instead of crushing the house.
(too steep for even a cat though)

 

I follow your thinking. So, they are not meaningful.. but we can choose to assign them meaning.. which is the part I described as "fun".

And I guess whether "happiness" is overrated or not depends on... what makes us happy?
I am of the belief we can choose and change this.

Incidentally, since you mentioned that some emotions can be quite profound and we were talking about whether happiness was overrated.. "happiness" isn't one I'd often think of as being often profound.

 

I have 6 days off. Gonna hit the road to Castle Crags here shortly.

 

Boo, the cat who got spayed yesterday, started crying this afternoon. I gave her some of her pain medication and she calmed some but kept crying.

Eventually, I figured out that she wanted me to follow her to the bedroom where she went into her carrier and laid down.

I sat on the bed and every minute or so she'd cry to get me to tell her that I was still sitting on my bed.

Every time I get up she follows me, crying, and then I follow her back to the bedroom where the ritual starts over.

Hubby tried to get her to sit on his bed with him but she wanted me to follow her back to my room and her carrier.

He's currently sitting on my bed while she's in the carrier beside the bed.

I've never had a cat do this before.

 

Nope. Hubby wont do. Boo only wants me to sit with her

 

Pwning some n00bz.

 

She's telling you something... Hope she's okay.

 

If Boo doesn't feel better tomorrow I'll have the vet check her.

 

boo..

 

What's my boo up to bae

 

Yes, Boo has a sister named Bae.

 

So, my 16 year old granddaughter was supposed to go to her boyfriend's Senior Prom this weekend.

They've been together for 9 months.

Can you believe that the shithead sent her a text today and told her that he was breaking up with her but would still take her to the prom?

That fucking piece of shit!

He's going to college in the fall and she's only going to be a junior in high school. They both new that some changes were coming up but...on Thursday before Prom on Saturday night?

I'm really so angry and hurt for my girl...

 

I totally get where he’s coming from, he wants to clarify their relationship, he’s not looking for a long term relationship,
and he certainly doesn’t want a long distant relationship as he goes off to college
