My pissed off mood is gone. I don't know what happened, but I do know that I felt it leave. I was sitting in front of my computer, reading MadPoet's Blog (after I had written my ode to Kurt) and I literally felt it slip off me..rather like letting a blanket fall from around your shoulders to the floor.

So now I'm in a mellow, a very mellow, mood..cooking some good food, listening to some Nirvana. The sun broke through the overcast sky this afternoon and there are people outside..kids playing, folks washing their cars.

"I need an easy friend, I do, with an ear to lend, I do, think you fit this shoe, I do, won't you have a clue."
I think I have a new 'easy friend'. Huh, I'm probably full of poo, but we'll see. I think my 'easy friend' knows it too...you have to understand that's it really quite something for me to say "I think I found a new friend"..I don't make firm friendships very easily, I have more acquaintances than I do real friends. Really, my only friend is my husband...everyone else I hold at arms length because I don't think they'll understand me. Today, however....but like I said, we'll see.

I like moods like this. I'm relishing this one...turning thoughts over and over in my head, examining them from every angle I can, looking at their many facets to see if I can see myself reflected therein....and if I can, what I look like. I love feeling like this - so non-emotional, so plainly neutral, able to see things for that they are without any fluff or pomp getting in the way. I feel like this after I've mediated sometimes...just very centered, very clear, very AWARE. I didn't meditate today, so this is a bonus, a real treat..

..oh my, "PennyRoyal Tea" just came on....


"I'm on my time.....with everyone. I have ....very...bad posture"

Well, my 'easy friend' is working out ok, I suppose. We talk about art and literature...and life. Dave and I seem to have stepped it up a level as well. Neither of us actually did anything; we just both have this renewed sense of love and devotion....we didn't talk about it, we both just said that we felt it...just another example of how in-tune we are with each other.

Isn't it wonderful to find someone who understands you?! It is the best when that person is your spouse. I think my husband knows me better than I know myself sometimes. The worst feeling is those times when we are out of sinc. I can handle anything when we are tuned-in though.

Your abilitiy to visualize releasing things like stress, depression, and heartache by coming up with different ways of doing it each time makes me smile.

Only suppose? Hmmmmmm. I'd like to learn more. Nirvana. And you are feeling more at peace w/yourself. I love it. I know Kurt has helped me to understand myself and the world better so many times now. I'm happy he does the same for you. Another connection maybe? WHEN DO I GET TO SEE THE POEM ABOUT KURT?!

P.S. Ummmmm, so which blog of mine were you taking a peek at, huh? Was it the brand new one I just posted about the Friends Of Sir Peter Society? (In humor section.) So you didn't care for it? No comment is usually a rather strong statement! . So I like this blog of yours lots and lots (as usual)! And I DID leave a comment for you, dig? (I love how you insert that "dig" word at the end of some of your questions and statements!) I've been up all night again. Kind of wiped out. But Janis said it best: "Why sleep, I might miss a party."

Hey, I started the FoSp way back when.....it kinda fell flat on it's face, but maybe you could revive it?

I satarted saying 'dig' a while ago...I dunno why. it drives Dave nuts, but I can't/won't stop doing it. I like it...it's another thing that makes me, ME, dig? !!

Are you joking? You really did a FoSpS thing? ( I'm still a newbie, dig? So I never saw that. And it flopped??)
