3. All around...

Surround yourself with amazing people who aspire to inspire and enhance the world in one way or another...

Dawna Werbeski

(08/21/11)  I surround myself with these kinds of people and it has made my life full and glorious in simple and joyous ways.

That is what I would say to my little brother or sister if I had one.  A blood brother or sister if they would listen.  Instead I adopt people who I imagine are a likeness to my imagined sibling.  They bring me joy in small ways which are largely meaningful.  Plus they either laugh at my weak jokes, or ask for big sister advice.

Endless thanks to the universe for bringing so many fabulous people into my personal life.  I am blessed.

2. Expectations

(12/14/10)  Expect the unexpected, or maybe go through life without expectation.

After nearly 45 years of life experience I really should not be surprised.  Yet I am, constantly surprised and often amazed.  In my observations of others I am bewildered and I have ample opportunity to observe. Why on earth would they want, feel and be motivated in such ways?  So I gravitate toward those beings who have nearly the identical view as hold. It is my illusion of the easy way out until I find myself once again disappointed.  Who programmed me?

I need simplicity where I can get it, as life can get complex.

1. Life is Experiential

(08/20/10)  As the pages of my life turn, the micro choices of the moments become more apparent and the places they lead to less imaginary.

To be here now is so much more serious to my ego which is reluctant to admit, I just don't have enough time to be passionate about every interest to the same degree .  Still I stubbornly try, only to become overwhelmed and continually anxious about time passing.  I don't wear a watch yet I hear time tick by, feel the day move past, hyper aware and disappointed with my loss of it. This affliction is attached to me and I can't shake it loose. There must be a way to extract this perception of time from my focus and allow time to flow freely without remorse.
