What does it mean when you dream that your best friend murders someone and blames you? Just one of many completely fucked up dreams I've had over the past week.

This is all very weird. I've been having dreams that a horse keeps wandering through my gardens. The horse is naked! What could this all mean?

I am the typical social-worker-teacher-community-center-facilitator nurturing female who puts on a cape swooping in to save everyone in need of help. I hate to be typical. But it occurs to me that I give everything I have into others/events/work and give nothing to myself. After weeks of caring for loved ones, disabled children, needy friends, etc., I have officially reached my maximum in the amout...

Did I ever tell you how beautiful you are? The truth is....you are far from typical and there lies the struggle. Your priorities don't match with those of society.

I think what you are describing is our battle with reality. For many of us, we don't like the world as we see it. We see others in need, and we try to help. The problem is that the machine keeps chugging along. We continue to have to comply with the ugly realities of life. Bills, housework (not the fun stuff like gardening but things like cleaning and laundry), car maintenance, etc. These all suck our energy away. If you are like me, you probably avoid those things until they hit crisis mode. Then everything is in crisis mode!

What makes YOU, you? What adds to your soul and what subtracts? I think the key is finding a balance so we don't end up in a deficit. Can you block out a small portion of time each week to do nothing but bills? That way they aren't allowed to be an everday issue. Maybe the same with housework? I find this helpful for me. I do ALL of my cleaning and laundry in one day. At work, I devote one (I need more than one) day to correspondence. It's kind of a quarantine approach so the shitty stuff can't screw with the good stuff.

As for you and your needs. YOU ARE VALID AND SO ARE YOUR NEEDS! Allow yourself a day or two to recharge without guilt. That is not being selfish. It's survival.

Dr. Phil has competition!

I'm taking some time out of my morning routine to write a bit on how I don't want to go to work. I've been up for an hour, still sitting here in my pj's, drinking my tea and looking at the clock. There's something about not having any personal time over the weekend to make one need a "personal day" from work. Alas, my stupid...

So, the day was very very rainy and very very lazy. That can be a bad combo. Particularly since I have an entire home to clean and about a month of homework backed up over my head. I got out briefly for some errands and ran into my ex. It's all good...conversation was harmless. More like catch up. I managed to clean the kitchen before...

Hello All!
I've certainly eyeballed SG for a while...finally took a few minutes to get myself here. I'm drawing a blank...I'll take a few moments in the near future to say something witty!
