huge revelation.
i had known that about stress, but i had never made the connection with tension and fear. though i think fear can be reactionary at some level and so am not completely sold on the idea of fear being entirely self-induced, though i do lean more toward believing it than not.
went to the beach yesterday, we needed a change of scenery,
so we loaded up the car and kids and spent a delightful day at the beach, impromptu. not carrying a lot of crap, not staying overlong, but just long enough for everyone to get hungry, burnt and tired. all of us got burned, yes, even me. i, who never burn. anyway, it was wonderful.
today, we've spent the day cleaning the house, everyone, even the three year old twins were sweeping and dusting, all hands on deck and the place looks pretty good. so now it's on to other projects, sewing, job apps, that sort of thing. the way i start my day anymore, i spend a lot of time applying for jobs. my dear aquarian best friend breaks it down for me,
it's a numbers game. just do it, don't get emotionally involved.
i'm pisces, hello. everything involves emotion for me.
but maybe that is my problem. i'm trying to be less emotionalistic, yet, more in tune. tough line to walk.
today is a great day, particularly compared to the past week. one of the things my sister and i realized is that the way we approach things, look at trials has a lot to do with where the head is at. the emotions follow the head.
just got this picture of myself with my group of poets and it was a delightful residency with respect to the chemistry of our critique group. we got along well. not perfectly, but nothing too dramatic.
and of course, in retrospect, it was marvelous.
i look forward to the next phase of my life beginning. but for now, in two days my daughter will arrive and my heart will be whole.
after that, i will enjoy my last two weeks here and then begin to figure out what to do next.
at home in new york, who knows what will happen. i look forward to the unfolding mystery.
