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!
