Hither and yon - thinking

Resolved some thinking.  Missed a bit on one thing...  WHEN will I accept that people will "un-stuck" me when needed.  I was trying to figure out how to fill my NC visit when it comes to this being more family than friends...and then brother called on his way to work and we worked it out.  Time at their house and dinner on Wednesday, outing with SIL on Thursday, NC friend on Friday, dinner back at brother's on Friday, leave Saturday a.m.  Outing on Thursday will be NC Museum of Art.  I am liking the quilt exhibit and sister #4 with the The Creative Lives of Educators: NCMA Teacher Exhibition - good for retired teacher that she is.  SIL wants to takes us through the Cary area...I always think about what people used to say about Cary as a "new" community - Contained Area for Relocated Yankees".  :)  We will see what she wants to show us about the area.  

Daily Stoic email just popped into my inbox at 5:11 a.m. - "We can’t trouble ourselves with what other people say about us when we’re away (as the song goes). We can’t expect or even hope to be universally loved or understood. In fact, we should be prepared for the opposite, because no one who ever did anything new or difficult did it without criticism or doubters. We have to cultivate our own strong sense of values and virtue, we have to honor this sense and follow it. We have to be who we are, not who they want us to be. Whether the crowd appreciates us for this at the time or later is not our concern."  Funny with my life and what I am ready in the Jobs book.  

Split decision last night for the U's.  

Yesterday - early walk to stay dry before rain started back up.  Swung by library on the home stretch of walk to pick up W&T book but none available so I picked up my last Krueger in the mystery series.  Should have swung down and picked up computer from Sr Ctr.  I was going back and forth on taking my computer or the town's.  I will swing by on my way out of town on Monday.  Landlady brought homemade cookies down for me to take to sister #1.  I put them in the freezer.  More pics from son - Tivoli.  

Today - walk.  Have to keep in mind that my normal pit stop places are closed.  :) 

No matter how hard you try to pretend that you are not worried about what’s going on in your world at the moment others will see through your bravado with ease. Face up to what’s causing all this anxiety and deal with it once and for all.

You'll have a chance to release pressure and reconnect with gratitude, dear Libra, thanks to a sweet exchange between the Scorpio moon and Neptune. Take the edge off by embracing mindfulness, being fully present while appreciating beauty wherever it may lie. Your thoughts sharpen when Luna migrates into Sagittarius this afternoon, giving you a newfound appreciation for learning and conversation. Reinvest in your passions and personal studies when Pluto stirs later today, finding empowerment while embracing qualities and interests that make you unique. Watch out for miscommunication and error tonight when Luna and Mars square off.

Idealized romantic feelings could pour out today when talking to your love interest, Libra. That's fine, but you should exercise restraint. If it's a new relationship, your partner could be scared off. If it's a long-term involvement, your friend might feel at a disadvantage. Channel the feelings into a poem, song, or painting. If you must voice them directly to your friend, keep the terms general. Don't put your beloved on the spot.

I will be on the lookout for the pressure release!  I will try to redirect my feelings.  Keep a good thought for me and my worry wart "thread".  :)  Have a good Friday.
