daily horoscope

I read my horoscope from myspace today. The last sentence read "Everything seems more intense these days, so take a slow and steady approach, knowing that healing can occur if you don't force any issues at this time."

It's right. Everything has seemed more intense lately. It's very easy to get caught up in the swirl of emotion. Joel Osteen writes in one of his books that sometimes its best to be "still". I've cycled through to the still part right now. Or as I told my good friend, "when you realize you are walking in a mine field, stop walking"

I'm reading an interesting book on building your career on your own terms. It is a very overwhelming thought to have complete control of yourself. It sounds basic, but how often do we just go through the day content to be unhappy with some part of our life. Or worse yet, blame someone or something for that unhappiness?

Realizing we have the power through our thoughts and actions to make ourselves happy or unhappy is very scary. It makes us truly responsible.

where am I?

The last few days have been a roller coaster. It is difficult when your intellect and your emotions are 180 degrees apart. A very good friend recently told me that the depth of sadness you feel is equal to the depth of your ability for happiness. Funny, I don't remember feeling this happy!

No, really though, her comment is empowering. I hadn't really thought about the depth of my emotions. And, I suppose it is conceivable that depth does cover all the emotions - not just the ones you like! So, if I want to have a level of depth, I'll got to accept the good and the bad.

I just wish my emotions would see things as clearly as my mind does.

Making the Move to Blogging

I've thought about blogging, but just never have. I met with some friends this week who are on myspace and also have friends with blogs. So, now I'm on myspace and I'm blogging!
