responsibilites with grace

LIBRA (Sep 23–Oct 22): You are in full party dress now--and this probably feels good after the intensity of the past few days. You can be the light of the gathering, even though you don't necessarily need center stage. Since Venus is your key planet--and it's very activated today--you could have the tendency to overdo whatever it is that you undertake. Even if you decide to fully enjoy yourself, you'll still be able to take care of your responsibilities with grace.

 
Funny horoscope for today. I'm glad I'll be able to take care of my responsibilities w. Grace. It's comforting to know.

Pain is inevitable, suffering is not.-Bhante Henepola Gunaratana, Mindfulness in Plain English


It's strange when people leave your life and give no reason to you for leaving. I've had a friend online for a couple years now. Lately, she's been interested in new sites and hanging out with new people. I've messaged her several times, but she doesnt reply to me. I miss her...or miss who I thought she was. I have to say that I'm not sure if I know who she is anymore...b/c it's been a while since we've really talked. Part of me feels like I did something to make her go away..and the other part just thinks she's doing other things right now and she'll be back. Whatever the case may be..I hope she is doing well.

I'm hoping my 9 wk old will start to sleep longer soon. She's getting a little better. At least she's not waking up every 2 hours at nite...for now. So much about her has changed in 9 wks. She's a lot more comfortable in her own skin, it seems. I can lay her down w/o her freaking out like it's the end of the world. Her little hands aren't so balled up anymore..she seems more relaxed.
So much about myself has changed in the last 9 wks. I see things so differently now. Lots of things that used to matter so much, have taken a back burner these days...like money...and a whole lot of other things. Just as long as I have enough cash to pay my bills and keep her fed and at home during the day, I'm fine.
