I took these
You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own, and you know what you know. And you are the guy who'll decide where to go.
Dr. Seuss
Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you!
Dr. Seuss
Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not.
Dr. Seuss :
as a challenge too. I can avoid action, or face it. Either way I am responsible for my action and inaction.
I have not been happy with myself lately.
Today I checked back into a place called Recovery International - that really focus on the positives, and what you can do, not feel like doing, and listened to a mtg in chat there. http://www.lowselfhelpsystems.org/about ... ystems.asp
Hopefully I can get my moving muscle being productive as well.
I have been thinking of my friend who took to her bed, and seems uninterested in changing the way she lives, and what I am prepared to do. Then comparing her disinterest in changing the status quo with mine. I may be more mobile and not depending on others like her, but am I just ignoring what I can change like I deem her to be?

I've thought about stepping back from looking for quotes (and birthday quotes are certainly taking me to names I would not normaly think to look at) but continue in the hope I push my own buttons into gear. Certainly I am glad to have found yesterday's quotes.

Checking in to see what's new around here... sorry MT & DH are still waiting for tests instead of coming home.

Wedding was a challenge. They had the "service" at a nearby island that is out in the Gulf, at the tip end, and the wind was wicked. Plus it was only about 60°, which doesn't sound that bad except beach wind can be pretty bad. The bride and the party wore very slim dresses, sleeveless, and hers was the one shoulder kind other shoulder bare. Most of us were bundled in blankets. I had my heavy shawl on, which would have been fine, except the wind kept whipping it away from me. The service was lovely, despite all that and I am extremely impressed with this couple who have done everything "the old fashioned way" without moving in together first, etc.

Because DH is still very sick and in bed, I did not go to the reception, but came home with the heater cranked up as high as it would go!

My neighbor, newly single (mother of the groom) held up wonderfully; father of the groom showed up without his new woman. sigh...

There is no counting on weather for a beach wedding Harmony. Prayers for DH.

load of washing done, hung on a drying stand and some in doorways.

need a few minute spell before I go to bed friend. Praying that I will know when to speak and what to say. If I am there disgruntled I do no one any good.
