Thanksgiving 2009

I was looking at my writing back from when my latest life change started and saw this as my cosmic guidance for Aug 26...now at Nov 26 - I think I have put "leaving behind" into motion.

"Years ago, a TV sitcom called The Andy Griffith Show ran for seven seasons on CBS. Its star, Any Griffith, played a mild-mannered sheriff in a small town in North Carolina. His sidekick was Barney Fife, a bumbling deputy with a sweet disposition. Shortly after he left the show, Griffith had a dream in which he thrashed and pummeled his co-star. When he asked his psychiatrist about the meaning of this dream violence, the shrink speculated that he was trying to kill off his old image. I recommend that exact strategy to you now, Libra. Don't actually wreak any real-life mayhem. Rather, see if you can have a dream or two in which you destroy a symbol of the life you're ready to leave behind."

Monday is going to be hard for me. No matter how much I know I need to leave, it will still be sad. I am glad that students and teachers will still be on break.

I am a bit blank on what has been happening the last few days. I have not been reading my library book (I am over my short lived Anita Shreve phase); I have been walking; I have been emailing my co-workers ad nauseum (sp) with "tips"; I have been trying to get focused on my resume; working on my volunteer work; planning my trip to NC...

Today will be off to the parents with two of my sisters. Trip to NYC tomorrow may be postponed due to the weather. Walking around in the rain is not attractive to one of the traveling sisters. We will make the final call today. I am fine either way. The only "must do" is I was going to go by RCMH and get tickets for the Christmas Show. Guess I will have to do that online.

Haircut seems to be a hit. I thought the "the older women with the long gray hair" was an image I should leave behind as I go into the next phase.

Will get a walk in before dinner and some volunteer work. Lots to do before I leave town on Dec 2. I really should have broken down and gotten an Easy Pass...

Have a great Thanksgiving.
