What is on your mind - Page 265

- that as much as i don't feel worthy, most days..
i really must have some feeling of worth, if i am willing to push myself to take the steps i have taken over the last few weeks, and get to where i am today.. and not only that, but setting goals to achieve over time, on this most awesomest "self" journey i've ever been on.. it's the first time i am feeling like i can do this, AND that i'm actually "DOING" this for myself..

i can't be 'that' bad, then.. and that in itself, is one heckuva feeling...

sylvie · 01-23-2011, 09:14 AM

seen this on a board at work, and really caught my eye...
You start dying slowly
if you do not travel,
if you do not read,
If you do not listen to the sounds of life,
If you do not appreciate yourself.

You start dying slowly
When you kill your self-esteem;
When you do not let others help you.

You start dying slowly
If you become a slave of your habits,
Walking everyday on the same paths…
If you do not change your routine,
If you do not wear different colours
Or you do not speak to those you don’t know.

You start dying slowly
If you avoid to feel passion
And their turbulent emotions;
Those which make your eyes glisten
And your heart beat fast.

You start dying slowly
If you do not change your life when you are not satisfied with your job, or with your love,
If you do not risk what is safe for the uncertain,
If you do not go after a dream,
If you do not allow yourself,
At least once in your lifetime,
To run away from sensible advice…

Pablo Neruda, Medeiros

simplicity and how endearing it has become in my life...

Leigh · 01-23-2011, 01:46 PM

Being reminded by chatting with a new friend, that life is not about rushing its about savouring the moment and what life has to offer you ........... I often need to be reminded of this, so thank you to My friend for that wise piece of advice

Don't rush, this is what is on My mind right now

little_ms_sunshyne · 01-23-2011, 03:26 PM

Ready for time to move a little faster!!!!! lol I can't help it...I miss hym!!!

sylvie · 01-24-2011, 05:33 PM

working on recognizing my strengths...
a conversation with a really great friend last night, and him telling me that i need to trust my gut instincts more, that i am strong and able...
i haven't felt like a strong person for many, many years.. so today, i set my mind to things i love about myself, which in turn helps me feel stronger within.. and i actually found some.. *smiling big*

- i know that i am a good mother.. make that, a great & very loving mother..
- i am extremely loyal, authentic and honest, & cherish my friends & loved ones with all i am, and respect them, fully..
- i have the ability to cherish the small things in life, which in turn boosts my well being..
- i have & love my baby blue eyes, which i inherited from my Pepere (grandfather)
- i am very creative, crafty, love making things & also do web graphics & have my own website & blog for digital scrapbooking, which i'm in the process of learning more of..
- i am very unique - and strive to be my own person, always..
- i am a good cook, have good survival skills & am a very laid back individual who loves to have fun (all with thanks to my father, the laid back, goofy outdoorsman)..

i hope to build on my list over time , but the fact i found this much about myself that i love, is an awesome HUGE step forward for me!

Super Dee Duper YAYness for meeee <3

Hoping that I passed my first anatomy test. I know for sure that I got one answer wrong, and there are 2 more that I'm afraid I got swapped around backwards because of the wording.

Also, I'm really wondering how this lab group is going to go, now that I'm stuck with the same partners. On the first day of lab I sat at a table with a cool hippy girl I'd spoken to once before. Two other folks came in late and sat with us, thus sealing our fate as a group. So now, this is what the group boils down to:
- me
- cool ass hippy girl who's smart as hell
- teenage girl who never brings a single book to class and sits there popping her gum and twirling her hair, and always wants to be the first to look into the "telescope" (aka: microscope

)
- 40something Bo Bice look-alike that I'm positive even sweats reefer, who stares into space going "whoa...whoa". (I'm dying to know what he sees but I'm almost afraid to ask.) He does, however, bring his book but is never on the right page, and also can never seem to remember which degree program he is in.

Hopefully things will go well, but I am worried about group projects. Smart hippy girl will definitely have her shit together, and eventhough I struggle with some of the material at least I work my ass off trying. I'm still confident though, and hope I do well in this class.

wimsiclegirl · 01-28-2011, 03:53 PM

Thinking that with all the sad things people are experiencing...material losses, human loss, break ups, unrequited love, financial, family, friend issues, unexplained tramas, chronic illnesses, terminal illnesses, loneliness, etc...

I am so undeserving of all the blessings I have and feel lucky in this lifetime. I have no room to complain about anything at all!!

If today finds you in a place of saddness and grief...I pray it is only for a short time. I also pray that you find strength within yourself and support from those around you to overcome!

If like me you are so blessed, I pray that you too feel gratitude for all that you have been given.

Thank you to all those who have let me share their journeys both sad and happy...

Not liking the fact that I have to see the name of a past ex on Facebook who, until the last week or so, was nowhere near a computer and now I have to be reminded of the past? I don't like it at all

Blade · 01-28-2011, 05:58 PM

Thinking about my neighbor and what to say to her. Certainly I don't know how she feels. Although a piece of my heart is gone too, though not the size of the chunk that must be missing from her heart. Ritchie 6 or 6 when I moved out here. He was a curious kid always watching to see how things work. A reckless kid, chuckling I don't remember a year that went by that he didn't have something broken or stitches. He surely wasn't an angel as a teenager and got into trouble but worked his way threw his probation and all that stuff. As a young adult he had grown into a pretty good young man, a good father and was to be married in April. He was quick with a smile and could make anybody laugh. I just thought he was a goofy kid, but from reading the condolences I see that he was like that with everyone. WOW how quickly our lives can change and the unexpected happen. Tell the ones you love, that you love them before ya can't.
