Now that I have done a one day creative writing course, I am fully qualified to blow you away with my wonderful prose! How cool is that?
It was fabulous to be in England again recently - mostly, of course, celebrating Daughter Number One's 32nd birthday - and also because we pretty much did nothing at all! We slept, read, watched loads of TV - some of it even a little uplifting! Oh, and we shopped. And then we ate the purchases! I think that was the very best part of all.
What I love most in this world (apart from some special people) is personal growth - my own, and others. And to that end, I find that I am constantly re-evaluating my world view on many issues, and also spend a load of time working with issues that confront me - especially if the issues make me angry. Those issues are the main ones that I tackle, as they are obviously telling me something about myself.
Last week I had to confront issues of Jealousy, Resentment, Envy and LeftOutNess! At the time it seemed to be so overwhelming. But since I have such beautiful people in my life, I am able to find the help I need in processing my 'stuff' (such eloquence).
The bottom line is that I realised that I was comparing my success or lack thereof against my own notion of the success of others. Now, usually those people are not perceiving themselves as successful in the first place, so there I am, measuring myself against a figment of my imagination! It is a wonder that folk like me are allowed loose in public!
