live frugally, but richly and deliciously. 3 months ago

What this encompasses

- Being fully aware of the present moment. Noticing and enjoying the small everyday things. Reveling in nature, the outdoors, sunlight, the night sky, and all those things that come for free and which we often take for granted.

- Understanding that life is made up of moments, and that it’s experiences and not possessions which make life fuller.

- Getting rid of anything unnecessary, not beautiful, or which could be put to better use by somebody else.

- Spending my hard earned money wisely: Buying experiences (quality ingredients for a delicious meal, a book, dinner out, museum tickets, wine to share with friends, travel) rather than things (clothes, shoes, purses, souvenirs, cable TV).

- Filling my days with good company, good food, good music.

- Enjoying my own company. I am the only person I know for a fact that will be with me from now until I die.

- Learning, being, accomplishing, and experiencing rather than getting, buying, and taking.

- Honoring my body: Making a statement through it by running miles with it and celebrating my mobility, rather than by using it as a billboard to advertise brands. wise words by Metafora77

Don’t move the way fear makes you move.
Move the way love makes you move.
Move the way joy makes you move.

Dating & relationships 11 months ago

A million little chances to choose – It came to me the other day that I’ve changed the way I think about relationships. In the past, I would choose someone (and be chosen) and that was that. We were together until something pried us apart. But with Mr. Yes, it’s different. I choose him every time we make plans and it’s a conscious choice, saying “yes!” to his presence in my life and mine in his. I choose him over and over, which means that I don’t lose sight of who he is right now, even as we both grow and change. by Tiisi



Boss 18 months ago

I had a boss that made me cry once. I hid an opened can of tuna in his office the next day. Don’t get angry. Don’t get sad. GET REVENGE! by HAPPYCAMP3R :)))



Meditation 18 months ago

I was expecting that I should just sit down, meditate, and suddenly feel blissful. But what really happened for me what that I had months and months of 5 uncomfortable 5 minute meditation sessions that eventually turned into 10 minute sessions and then I noticed that in an imperceptible way, when I wasn’t even looking, my mind had started to calm. by wren

I think I’m just too curious and impatient to be shy now. by Tiisii

Apparently stress causes weight gain. Yeah, so does pie. by absnasm

A lot of [guys] seem to think that once we’ve “got” them, we should be satisfied with that, and the compliments and little extra sweetnesses peter out. Then they wonder why we go all grumpy and needy six months down the line. (and there’s more at that link) by absnasm

Sometimes it helps if I try to think about it as if I were taking care of someone else instead of myself. Like with food for example, what would you make for a friend who you knew wanted to eat well, if you were solely responsible for feeding them? You’d fix them something healthy and nourishing, no matter how much they cried for chocolate, and you’d tell them kindly but firmly that this is what’s best for them. by evenstar42
