I have some pretty serious boundaries. Once someone tries to cross them (when they have already been discussed).. Mr. Prickly Porcupine goes to Mr. Sock With Quarters as fast as a change in a phone booth.

That it's a waste of time to worry about 'Oh dear, what are other people going to think?" That really, you just have to be real to yourself and what you want and anyone else who doesn't like it can just jump off a pier.

(assuming you're not hurting yourself or anyone else).

I realize that after all these years of sewing that I make mistakes; I just cut out a pattern wrong and now I need more material for the skirt oh well, its a good thing the fabric store is open tomorrow..

the older I get the more I realize that New Years Eve isn't nearly as important to me as it use to be. Maybe I'm just getting to be an ole fart, but I'm thinking I'll be in bed before the fireworks start.

TOIGTMIR....

what, who and which goals are more important to me....and that personal sacrifices aren't necessarily always a part of my "survival/crisis mode", that personal sacrifice(s) can be a good thing - that I shouldn't feel such a negative loss from letting go - and those sacrifices can make the important things even more important and cherished to me.

TOIGTMIR....

how important it is to live in a "proactive mode" instead of constantly in a "survival/crisis mode" or the physical or mental crash that comes after the crisis has been dealt with.

TOIGTMIR.....

how much strength I have within....and how good it feels to be comfortable with "coming into my own" after a very difficult journey.

I need eye glasses

01-15-2011, 04:40 AM

the more i realize that patience is a necessity and a virtue. that MY timeline is not necessarily that of the Heavens.

the more i realize that there is only so much of oneself that can be given in self-sacrifice before being consumed by that quiet fire altogether. a time comes when i MUST think of myself first or else i cannot help anyone else.

the more i value the joys of solitude AND those of companionship. they must balance and complement each other in a relationship of whatever kind. both are necessary to my being.

the more i value the little happinesses: the savouring of a good cup of tea. the comfort of a loved ones arms. the journey of a fascinating book...

the more i enjoy the easy companionship this site. rare to find such varied people united by the Dance

thank you for this thread. i have appreciated reading the conclusions of others. they make me reflect upon what is important to me!

...if i dont bend over just the right way,i'll be calling for assistance to straighten back up
...the 80's will never come back
...i'm sayng the same thing to my kid that i heard as a child..i.e "i hope you grow up and have 3 JUST like you"

Passionaria · 03-09-2011, 11:46 PM

The older I get the more I realize:

That people who are constantly professing to be Spiritual probably are not.

That honor, kindness, and integrity are more markers of a Spiritual being, then reciting Dogma.

That I should trust my instincts more, so I am bamboozled less.

That my children and parents are the ones I can always turn too. And some truly delicious friends!

That I should no longer engage in one way relationships, unless it involves a child. Sigh, I'm learning.

That the Universe sends some real interesting people my way, MUAGH for that! I am Grateful.
