Metaphysics Monday: Finding a Way to Slow Down

I know I've disappeared for a while.  Here's part of the reason why: LIfehack.org: 10 Ways to Slow Down in a Fast-Paced World It's very metaphysical, so it works out perfectly for today!  Another article is coming soon on ways to understand yourself better through your dreams. I just came off of a long bike...

Summary Sunday: Softball, Positive Thinking, Random English Guy, Time Off, and a Return to Teaching

Softball After 25 years or so of softball, I recently gave it a rest.  It's a great sport, but I wasn't thrilled with the weekly commitment, and I was beating up my body.  I do still sub every-so-often..  Last Friday I subbed for the first time in a year, and I really enjoyed myself.  I...

5-Day Reversal

I am not supposed to write this.  I am supposed to think this.  It builds my memory.  If I do it right, it can build my sense of understanding of the past and help me focus on the meaning of my life experiences.  Right now I just want to keep blogging, and I also have...

All-You-Can-Eat-Buffet. . . of Topics

I asked Brian what another word for "smorgasbord" is -- hence the title.  Brian informs me that I haven't written a blog in 5 days.  And that I need to blog.  I've had inspiration this week, but I just haven't acted on it. So, here are the topics that haven't yet made it to my...

And it brought me down. Conspiracies surrounding the...

Day 9.5 up to 10: Final Day/s to Happiness

Of course this is not the last day I intend to be happy.  But this is the sort of end of my "spring break", and tomorrow I will move on to other topics, with the occasional updates throughout. Random semi-related thought: I'm really intrigued by the variety of "like"s from this week (because yes, I...

Days 1 & 2 on the Road to Happiness

1. Health -- I am eating pretty well.  Michael's had a special 30% off deal for their 30 year anniversary, so Brian and I shared a spinach, artichoke, and garlic pizza.  It was very yummy.  I ended up pulling off the artichokes and eating them separately and dipping the pizza slices in our Trader Joe's...

Dream Interpretation

I've been having some very vivid dreams lately.  I wake up trying to unravel my complicated dramas to figure out what the heck is going on in my head/in my unconscious/or in the spiritual realm. DREAM #1 THE SNAKE The most intriguing was a dream this weekend about a red and black checkered snake.  It...
