Psychology Today & Eudora Welty

I live among control freaks.  I should know better.  I should study my notes more: Glasser, Jung, Szondi, and a little bit of Freud.  I throw Freud in only because he was mentioned in articles so I didn’t feel it wise to throw him OUT.

I don’t even need to tell you why I am writing, you can read it all here, Eudora Welty explained it very well in the short story, “Why I Live at the P.O.”  This was originally published in 1941.

So the next time you think you have no control, comfort yourself with these words.  And smile.

It Must Be the Moon

Anxiety and irritation and I need to shake it. Or maybe just feel it. I remember someone saying awhile back “it’s the moon!” Well, it IS full. And a blood moon.

I’ll take it! And feel better tomorrow!

Targeting what’s wrong and knowing it will pass makes peace possible!

Fanning My Flame

Surrounded by the comforts of my ancestors, words from the philosophies of Emerson and Thoreau, I am reminded of who I am and where my soul thrives. All of the outside world fades, for just this brief moment of time, and I fan the flame called my soul, into a roaring fire that drives me forward into 2019 and shows me that happiness is right here, inside of me.
