Why,

are we drawn to things that are wrong for us? Junk food, drinking, the guy who gives us butterflys, when someone else is more of a match? What makes drama more fun and appealing than stability?

You can say I survived D-day, even won. But now I'm left with that difficult bittersweet feeling...

Ganesha

The Hindu elephant-headed god Ganesha is to whom I have been praying and meditating. He is my best friend and role model. His large ears and small mouth remind me that I should and want to listen more than talk, his large belly reminds me that I should and want to be content with whereever I am in life, and his friendly demeanor is also how I want to be perceived by others. It almost seems like an oxymoron, to be content yet strive for more, but the joy is in the journey and being content with the path you're on.

Serendipitous

Very creepy, I had three incidents today that led me to the very thing I have been trying to avoid. Is it serendipitous? Meant to be? Something I am supposed to do? Or, perhaps I did want it and just didn't know it, which falls in line with us having more control over our lives than we think we do. Thursday is D-day...
