Thanks for the happy birthday wishes! I'm coming to you live from underneath a cat who is sleeping over my wrists and weighs approximately FIVE THOUSAND POUNDS. Sleeping cats have the density of neutron stars, I swear.
I spent most of my day putting up my Christmas decorations. The exciting thing is that this year I have outdoor lights. I've wanted outdoor lights since I started living on my own but, for one reason or another, it never happened. In this apt it was a lack of an outdoor outlet.
But this year I had the epiphany of looking for solar powered lights. Sure enough, they exist, and they work! I have tiny colored lights decorating the railing of my porch now. It's a birthday miracle!
The next miracle will be getting feeling back into my hands once the cat is off of them.

| Happy Thanksgiving! |

Well, American Thanksgiving to those that celebrate.
I'm on my way to Nevada to reconnect with the clan
*promise not to start the fight with the Grannie*
*promise not to start the fight with the Grannie*
*promise not to start the fight with the Grannie*
I'll be back, late, the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. At mom's I should have some connectivity, but I'm not completely sure of the situation. There's an extra grandparent aged person apparently living their now, which would make
-My grandmother who has reverted and makes teenagers look sane, even tempered, and pleasant
-M's (M is Mom's husband who is not my dad) Dad who was pleasant if curmudgeonly
-M's Mom whom I remmebered as being nice -- note that M's mom and dad are divorced.
I'm hoping this means that I get the tiny spare room, because that room has the internet connections ;-)
In other news, you know how company suddenly results in you cleaning your house like a mad man? Or possibly you've experienced the phenomenon that a ficathon story that's due inspires yardwork? Well I found the flipside last night. Packing for a morning plane flight inspires 1500 word completed stories -- note this does not seem to help with your ongoing WIP.
Catch you on later on this week. I'm about to test my new long life batter on the plane.

Yep, I'm preparing in advance! Go figure!
If you would like a Christmas/holiday card from me, please leave your name in the comments (which shall be screened for privacy).
I love sending/getting cards, so don't be shy!
Also let me know if you need my address. I haven't moved since last year or, yanno, 2002, so if you already have my address then you, erm, already have my address. But I can give it to you if you need. =)

| Intentions Verses Expectations |

Maybe the best thing about yoga is that you always approach it as a
practice.
- You don't expect to hit every position
- You don't expect it to heal every ill
And very rightly, teachers and students describe the work done on the
mat as a practice for life. Sure, it starts off as a physical
thing and maybe for some folks it stays that way, hopefully increasing
their balance and flexibility over time and easing some aches. But to
really get to those goals, you have focus on what you're doing on the
mat. It's impossible to balance if you aren't focusing on what your
body is doing right then and there. You can't be thinking about where
you're going to be in an hour or what a crappy meeting you had earlier
in the day.
One of the reasons I love yoga is because I know for the length of the
practice, I won't be thinking about anything else.
And there's a lot about life right there folks.
I get some daily articles from Yoga Journal and they pointed to a
great article on the site titled The Heart's Intention
by Phillip Moffitt. Even if you aren't interested in yoga or
Buddihist philosophy, there's good stuff in there about the difference
between intentions and expectations; intentions and goals. It may
just save you some stress.
( thinky thoughts on expectation )
