Sometimes when I'm in the depths of despairing over my life, I have to be reminded that other people have it way harder than I do...

Which Mix of the Hogwarts Houses are You?
You're a Slytherdor! You are a natural leader and have the personality to back it up. Often people are hesitant to approach you because they feel that you will reject them. You have a bit of a temper but most of the time you're able to keep it in check; however when you are really pissed off, people better watch out. In your life you have a lot of things you want to accomplish, whether it's for yourself or another cause. You can be determined in trying to pursue this goal but your morals are too steady to allow you to be absolutely ruthless. You don't let many people know this, but you actually like the idea of chivalry (but you try to keep this buried) and you try to live your life with honor. You don't back away from tough decisions. Your weakness is that sometimes you can be arrogant, you forget about the 'lesser people' and this leads you to underestimate your opponents. With the charisma of a Gryffindor and the ambition of a Slytherin you can be great in life!

Topic: Tarot Card of the Day
Sunday 11:44am 13May07
I decided today would be a stay at home and write all day day. Yesterday before I went out to the Forte concert I used one of Mark McElroy's ideas of using the Tarot cards to write a short story. I used the Robin Wood Tarot deck because for some reason with that deck I can see the makings of a story just from looking at the cards. It was funny because the cards could easily pertain to me and my life and yet it was easy to look at a character going through the motions and conflict and setting the example.
Mark has a great Pdf available on the net just google his name and Tarot for Creative Writers. I used pages 28 to 33 for Flash fiction last night. While googling his name to find the pdf again to mention on my blog I found a couple other good Tarot articles and uses for them other than the obvious...

I keep meaning to get around to studying one tarot card at a time for about a week at a time. I don't know if I can commit to one card for a whole month but you never know.

I pulled the Magician from the Universal Waite Deck this morning. Some of the keywords that I decided to choose include: Imagination, Creativity, doing what needs to be done, realizing your potential, producing magical results...
This morning I emailed the person who noticed my emotional funk last night to express my thanks for noticing that I was falling off the edge. People don't always notice or they do notice but could give two shits. It is amazing how just noticing someone can change their whole outlook. Some of that falls in line with the magician for me.
Obviously the energy of the magician can be used towards ones art. Sitting down and taking all the magical elements to create something of worth. To express what needs to come out. To go deep.

Reality Bites?
Topic: WC - Daily Practice
Friday 11May07 6:12am
I'm finally starting to feel almost like my normal self. Just this morning. I think I'll go swimming after work.
Taurus seems to be about reality for me and facing the reality in every aspect of my life. And yes, sometimes, reality bites the big one. It's been a quiet week on the EY front. I've felt drained of all need to converse with pretty much anyone. Someone last night mentioned that I wasn't quite myself. A subtle difference, I was told. It was nice to have someone peg it especially since I've said nothing to anyone about how I've been feeling.
My boys have been their normal teasing, joke cracking selves and I haven't had it in me to do the dance. But when all else fails it's back to the drawing board. Find something to inspire. Eat super healthy. Move my body. And find the joke in life.
That's where I am this morning.
