Day 6 (Can it be?! Her mood lifts as the end of work approaches. In other news, correlation does’t prove causation.)
Thoughts:
* I have a computer like Carrie Bradshaw now! I saw Sex and the City tonight and when I got home I came over to write about my day just like she does on the show and I realized that I have a little desk with a little laptop on it just like she does in the show! Yay! And I don’t know what all I am, but one thing I definately am is a writer. It’s one of the answers to the question about what passion is right under my nose.
* People are wonderful: I’ve been listening to NPR and listening to these little blurbs about people who are doing good in their little areas of the world and it’s making me feel less like I have to figure out some plan to save the whole world and more like I can just do the good I can and that we can all save the world together. Of course, people are bad too, today I listened to senators or representatives grilling a general about torturing people using water boarding. Water boarding! Our country! Where the hell am I living!? It is so sad. But they were calling his bullshit- democrats and republicans alike. Good job, guys. And a law student is translating for an American man being held at Guantanamo- held for 5 years with no charges. Our government- taking people away in the night and holding them without charges, and torturing them. Um… this started out positive… and I guess the positive thing is, the horror is horrible but what surprises me more is how powerful we all are collectively and that we can really shift the direction of our world. We can have the world we want. We really do have the power when we just step in and do the good we can.
* I was walking on the beach the other day and I had a lovely thought- I imagined us collectively reaching up, taking the military helicopter flying above me, and gently setting it on the ground.
I didn’t have a chance to talk to my mom, so things to tell my mom if she is reading this:
* You would be so proud of me, I was assertive at the dentist even though they were in a hurry and was able to get information from them to make some good decisions.
In other uplifting news:
* I flipped through a book that I bought awhile ago. The author asked, “What’s your next big thing?” and it took the pressure off of me taking my next “career” move so seriously and made it seem more like an adventure.
