There's one 4 weeks ago

coming up in November. I’m pretty sure I can get back into it in time… I just need to start soon (i.e. today).



list three things every day that made me happy (read all 125 entries…)
Thursday 10.01.2009 1 month ago

(1) Just now, the most gorgeous butterfly flew right outside my window and fluttered for a moment as if it were MINE. And it was lovely, even though I know it is not mine.

(2) The comfort of proximity.

(3) New fish. I only got two, because my tank is still new. But I am very happy with them. (I got two marble mollies.)

Also, there has been a cat hanging out in the tree outside my window for a few days, and it looks nice. Not nice enough for me to open my house to it, obviously, and I’m pretty sure it belongs to someone, but still, it makes me happy to see him (her?) lazing in the branches.



Let go of negative memories. (read all 2 entries…)
visualization 1 month ago

I think it’s interesting to hear how different people deal with letting go of negative things. Not even negative memories, just stress or negative feelings. I have a friend who once told me she likes to think, “Breathe in blue, breathe out pink…” and that each time she inhales she thinks of the bad things and then thinks of them turning pink as she exhales them away. Or, I’ve heard of people who think of putting all their worries into bubbles and watching them float away. I like the bubbles.
