Horoscopes
Taurus
Horoscope (by astrocenter.com)
Disheartening news on the job could lead to feelings of impotence and
futility. Perhaps a project you have been working on for awhile
doesn't produce the results you'd hoped, or is thrown out by the
hierarchy at the last minute. Don't let yourself sink into pessimism,
dear Taurus. Put it behind you and move on. A new, more successful,
and more lucrative project is coming and will need all your
attention.
Gemini
Horoscope (by astrocenter.com)
A temporary emotional down could have you seeking to lift your own
spirits by spending some money. Your taste and aesthetic sense are
especially acute at this time, dear Gemini, and you have the energy
to go to numerous places until you find exactly what you want. Buy
some new clothes, or something to dress up your home. Take care,
however, to curb impulse buying. You might find yourself having to
take a bunch of things back to the store!

Hm. I guess I'm gonna get a smackdown while Janice is out this week.
I feel a sick day coming on. No spending spree, that was Saturday.
Anyhoo...Friday was nice, went to trudy's with e. It was crowded,
like a big frat party. bleh. She is still distressed about Fred &
whether or not what she learned from him is valid in light of him
being a jerk. Her cat is still sick & she has spent too much $ on him
and turns out the problem is not what the vet said it was.
Saturday I went grocery shopping, got fruit salad stuff, went to
petsmart & got a new litter box for the cats. Looks like there's not
going to be any more disposable litter boxes, so I got a siftable one
& some litter for problem cats that is supposed to attract them to
make them go in their box.
I made fruit salad and cleaned the kitchen & guest bathroom.
Sunday, I went to Nude Yoga. Dionysus was there, but he wasn't
feeling well so didn't stay. So it was just me & Lonnie. We had a
good session. Felt more like a personal trainer session than yoga,
but it was still good.
Anyhoo...the picnic was nice. Bull Creek District Park was very nice,
the water was cool & yummy, walked up the creek with Angela, Nate,
and ?Dan? to some natural springs dripping out of the rocks and then
up further to some falls. very nice. Tom didn't bring his trunks, so
he went looking for a geocache a bit. I was glad he came out, but he
was shy & I don't know if he had any fun or not. A lady with an art
car was there and Tom chatted w/ her a bit.
It occurred to me to mention the nice creek & waterfalls to SIL &
maybe bring her out. Not that she'd go. Even though it's free, etc.
She Has Issues.
Raven g. wrote me back. He has no idea what may have happened to
A out in CA.
ah well.
Lonnie talked about the 4 agreements, he was really into them. He's
started teaching them as part of his martial arts classes. I think
they're pretty cool myownself.

Four Agreements : A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom by Don Miguel
Ruiz
-- Be impeccable with your word. Speak with integrity. Say only what
you mean. The word is the most powerful tool humans have.
-- Don't take anything personally. Self-importance leads people to
think they are the center of the universe, causing pain and
injustice.
-- Don't make assumptions. To avoid frustration and blame, ask what
is meant.
-- Always do your best. This is the surest way to avoid self-
condemnation, though it is important to realize one's best is always
changing.

Be Impeccable with Your Word
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to
speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of
your word in the direction of truth and love.
Don't Take Anything Personally
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a
projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune
to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of
needless suffering.
Don't Make Assumptions
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really
want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid
misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement,
you can completely transform your life.
Always Do Your Best
Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be
different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any
circumstances, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment,
self-abuse, and regret.
