1345 Being Positive

I think it's true that thought can shape reality, to some extent. And
certainly one's thoughts can influence how one reacts to everyday
occurrences. Whether every deviation from plan is seen as a setback
or an opportunity, whether the glass is half empty or half full.

In that light, I choose to meditate on the highlights of my week:

Monday: I went to the gym. I have amazing upper body strength!

Tuesday: I went to skate night. I saw my friend Michelle and my
friend Jason. I saw an adorable strawberry blonde boy in a black <a

Rhymer, whom I went to the OTO play with. I saw a beautiful woman in
a pink dress and fairy wings. I listened to good old music and
skated.

Wednesday: well, OK, Wednesday sucked, no way of getting around that
one.

Thursday: My friend Rio's birthay! I went to Sweetie's VW gang
meeting. I met nice people and had pleasant conversation. I had good
pizza and good beer. The night was cool and there were wildflowers on
the side of the road.

Friday: No work! I will sleep late. Drink coffee with my sweetie.
Read. Take a nice hot bath. Give myself a full-body sugar scrub &
facial. Go to the gym and spend lots of time in the hot tub and
sauna. Get some groceries and send off some care packages. Maybe
visit my waterfall. Maybe see a bellydance show.

And Always: my family, friends, loved ones, fuzzy kitties & dog, love-
filled home, flowers, trees, and creek...the joys and pleasures and
treasures of my life. I am grateful for the love & beauty in my life.
I am infinitely blessed. I miss the things that are gone, but I can't
lose sight of the blessings that are still here, just waiting for me
to notice them. Thank You.

Something wierd, or maybe just coincidence: Pat pulled the Tower and
the 5 of Cups for me....which has basically just happened. The tower:
X and me finally ending it. 5 of cups: focusing too much on what
is lost and not enough on what you have. a message to refocus.
