Pro-progressive people who "would take on Moby Dick in a row boat and already have the tartare sauce" - anti-progressive people who would "ask for a bacteria count on the milk of human kindness...."
Better to be like the boy laughing and digging in a room full of horse manure - when asked "why?" he said "with all this manure in here, there has to be a horse in here somewhere!"

Old About Me
Life is always a challenge. At the moment - I am alive and I have felt the pain and exquisite joy of it.
I have lost some people dear to me through death and others have moved on, on their life's journey. Have some true friends and have met some lovely people. Some people are not so lovely!
That's life!
More wins than losses - it's really both that count.
The wins for the warm fuzzies; the losses for the real life, sometimes painful, lessons. I have had some marvellous successes. It's being relaxed about it all, eventually, that really counts.

Power in just being
I resent people telling me what to do.
I resent people who are bossy.
Went Blog surfing today and "met" some incredibly creative people. Some really helpful, marvellous people.
This was one, I commend it to you:
"One of the things I was curious about when I did the media cleanse was this: What was the feeling I experienced just before reaching for the tv or the phone or the email? What was it that drove the compulsive habitual behavior?
What I learned is that for me (and for most of us I would guess) the impulse was about a desire for connection. There is a kind of loneliness that comes before the reaching, a sort of anxiousness, a wanting to fill up the moment/the silence/the space with something. For someone like myself who works alone, blogging and email seemed like a reasonable solution. But I have been questioning if these ways actually satisfy that desire for connection or if it is simply more of that grasping that we humans seem to do so much of."
Another person who is thankful for the things they have
Who directed me to a recipe blog
That led me to other recipes
That led me to "meet" other lovely people.
I am changing my approach to this whole thing. It will be a chronicle of where I am going!
