Pre-vacation momentum



I will be walking by this sign by next week this time. I am glad I am not in Chapel Hill today - I have friends on both sides of the rivalry game last night - (light blue won...) and we will see how the girls do tonight. Boss out of the office today and tomorrow but left last minute "to-do's" for receptions this weekend and next week. Also have to go by the bank to put my money into my son's new company's account. Feels like the most important investment I have ever made. I wish him the best.

As to cosmic guidance: Happy Valentine Daze, Libra! After careful meditation about what advice might help you expand your experience of intimacy, I've decided to offer you the following meditation. "Love sometimes gets tired of speaking sweetly. It wants to rip to shreds all your erroneous notions of truth that make you fight within yourself, and with others." So writes Daniel Ladinsky in his translation of a poem by Hafiz. Love, he continues, "sometimes wants to do us a great favor: hold us upside down and shake all the nonsense out." That's a pretty good description of where I think you are in your current relationship with love, Libra. I hope you're brave enough to cooperate with its gift.

February 8, 2007 -- You will be in an easygoing mood today, most likely because you cannot be bothered to make an issue of things that no longer seem so important to you. Others can shout and scream and make a scene if they so choose but you will sit back and let it all pass over your head - and you are right to do so.

I do identify with my daily listing - it is so liberating not being in charge - or THINKING I am in charge - anymore. I will always do a good job, but it is not my goal to fix or direct the motion of the work "car" except by what I do by example. As to my freewill for the week...me and love have always had a tumultuous relationship. I don't think it has ever "happened" for me - but my life is not over yet.

Good walk last night after a quick haircut. It is always interesting when I make my "time travel" trips where people have not seen me for awhile - a year plus for the group I am heading to see on Sunday. Also, my massage lady in Pittsboro, NC had a cancellation so I will have a great treat on Tuesday morning. She is the best and she is "psychic" as far as I am concerned. She can read me as soon as I walk in the door. I am probably most looking forward to hearing how she thinks I am doing - mentally and physically. It is also a huge thing for me to have the tactile experience of a massage. I think I now have all my nights filled and most days. But plenty of time in between to wander around Chapel Hill and Fearrington Village.

My goal was to get a bit earlier start this a.m. so I can concentrate on wine and cheese faculty and staff party preparation for tomorrow. What a life! I am a lucky girl.

I am fighting with whether I take my laptop this trip since it is a road trip... Have a good Thursday.
