Friend To All Creatures

Wednesday, May 17, 2006

The earth spins on its axis. Sometimes I think I can feel it. I've had the strangest week. I've felt all week like I was in a massive fog. I realized in an early meeting Monday morning that not only everything that others were saying but also everything that I was saying seemed to float in the air and never be absorbed by my brain. It has gotten better since Monday but I'm still feeling that the air is thick. I'm a libra and although I'm not an astrology geek, I do think that it can be very interesting to explore. Libras by nature are thinking folks. We are usually the more intelligent of the species (although I certainly don't claim to be) but because we're thinking and thinking and thinking all the time about any and every concept that pops into our heads, we get very tired and grumpy sometimes and need a rest. I guess that's were I am right now. Too much mental stimulation and my brain needs a break. Is it alright to check out for a bit? To just meditate in a quiet corner? That's what I'd love to do. If anyone would like to volunteer to come to work for me and pay my bills and do all that stuff that I'd like to ignore, just let me know. :)

Inspire Me

While I still love the idea of this blog, I feel that I've had writers block for a while. Instead of feeling fulfilled by writing down all of my feelings, I've been enjoying and really appreciating reading all of the other blogs out there. I get inspiration each day from the folks whose lives have been opened to me. A new perspective can really change you. If I'm feeling down, I can just open one of the blogs that I know will cheer me up and after reading just a bit I'm feeling so much better. Or on a day when I'm having a bit of a pitty party for myself, I can open one of the blogs where I know someone is struggling and things don't seem so bad for me after all. All in all I think that most people struggle with some of the same basic trials and tribulations but they come at different times in our lives in different forms and affect each of us differently.

So I'll write when I'm inspired to and I'll read when inspired. Hopefully I'll get what I need out of this blog thing and if you've been so kind as to read my blog I hope that I've touched you at some time in some way.
