365 Day Meme: day 53: your day, in great detail

I'll do yesterday, since it's still early today.

My cats urinated on Michael's stuff. Michael left. I looked at the computer, talked to Maria, watched Wedding Peach, painted, read, my Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealers dvd arrived and I watched it, I did yoga and meditation, I did a tarot reading, I burned my food, I looked at internet forums, I talked to Michael, I went to bed and had insomnia so I took Klonopin.

Quotes (One About Boundaries, the Rest About Optimism

"Out of a misplaced sense of loyalty, adult children often give and give and give, even when they're not getting. Quite often they fool themselves into believing they are getting because they enjoy giving. They are not the same. Be loyal to others, but be loyal to yourself first. Be loyal to others, but set reasonable limits to your loyalty. If the rewards of a personal or business relationship don't match the costs, you need to renegotiate the terms of the relationship."
-pg. 87, Life-Skills for Adult Children by Woititz and Garner

"It is better to light one candle than curse the darkness."
-Chinese proverb

“May the love hidden deep inside your heart find the love waiting in your dreams. May the laughter that you find in your tomorrow wipe away the pain you find in your yesterdays.”

“If you will call your troubles experiences, and remember that every experience develops some latent force within you, you will grow vigorous and happy, however adverse your circumstances may seem to be.”
-John Heywood

Two More Quotes (Shamanism and Life)

"Shamans believe that, because people are unaware that their hostile energies can penetrate others, they are unconsciously causing damage to their fellow human beings much of the time."
-pg 116, The Way of the Shaman

I believe this.

Here's one last quote from today that I really liked:

"Showing up for your life means actively participating in our own life rather than hiding and going through the motions."
-The Daily Om
