The Optimist Creed 3 June 2008

I got this one today from Paul G., Law of Attraction workshop leader, & loved it:

Promise Yourself:

To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.

To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature you meet.

To give so much time to improving yourself that you have no time to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud word, but in great deeds.

To live in the faith that the whole world is on your side, so long as you are true to the best that is in you.

I’m ready to say it loud & proud. Are you?

Anew Again 2 June 2008

While I’ve been tempted today to take down my previous Pixie-post, I won’t. Speaking my truth is tough at times but it’s the only way I know how to live. Sometimes the past revisits us to be processed anew. By doing so at the time, we can more easily move through the old pain and get going forward with lessons learned in the now. Burying sadness, regardless of how moldy-oldy it is, does nothing but prolong its ability to adversely affect us.

It’s a sunny day here in the city. I am all about my future – bright, beautiful and full of love, sweet, love. Hope you are as well!

Atonement Time 1 June 2008

He came to me again in a dream today, the man I loved as a boy in High School. I walked through his neighborhood earlier this afternoon with friends. Not really looking, I thought I saw him only once. But then, there they both were – he and his wife – in my dream. Again.

This time I called to thank him for a fun weekend as “just friends” but she answered. I made a point of being excited to have gotten her instead. We really had had fun and nothing at all had happened. But she sounded tense and I said too much to reassure her.

Waking up hot and sticky, I whispered aloud, “Come back to me.” I watched Atonement last night and carried it with me it seems. I can build boundaries and live life awake with my integrity intact; asleep, the heart has its own truth to tell. I shouldn’t be so surprised, then, that he keeps showing up. He’s anything but uninvited.
