"Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing. It's okay though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation...so when I meet someone who's an 8-color type...I'm like, 'hey girl, magenta!' and she's like, 'oh, you mean purple!' and she goes off on her purple thing, and I'm like, 'no - I want magenta!'"

It does? Because I have so much trouble with the second one?  When you posted that, I think I was actually enjoying Spring, despite goings on at home. The day before my birthday, the 13th (Friday), I was sitting at the dining room table, trying out my Tea Leaf Fortune cards, in the beautiful Spring sunshine. I felt really happy and blessed.  Last Spring was mostly nice, even with the drama. The Summer... July 4th was horrible until the evening (and then I found out about the kid I used to babysit, grown up, a month away from his 21st birthday, had been killed in a fight - the day after July 4th). We'd watched a movie and salvaged the day, but then things kept happening. The year went downhill with everything, but I squeezed in a few happy days in the Autumn, and then before Christmas. I really wanted to enjoy this Spring. It's my favourite time of year. I really do have trouble with the second agreement. I wish I could change that. I read the book nine years ago, I think it was.

This was the picture I took the day before my birthday: http://www.flickr.com/photos/50720256@N06/6938662000/lightbox/ I wanted it, because I felt so good and positive/happy. I thought the rest of the year was going to be that way.  Oh, well, you can't blame an Aries for trying. Or maybe you can. IP: Logged |

About a month ago, I had a moment where I was taking something to heart and thought to myself, "What if I didn't take this personally?" I didn't, and everything was fine - turned out I had nothing to worry about. It doesn't work so well when someone is deliberately trying to antagonize me - only when I'm already feeling good.

I used to be much better at this, but it's a nice tie-in to The Four Agreements: quote:
1. The version found written on the wall in Mother Teresa's home for children in Calcutta: People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway. If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway. What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway. Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway. In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway. -this version is credited to Mother Teresa
