Boundaries

 I'm trying to learn how to set boundaries and say no to people I wish I didn't have to say no to.  So far, I just keep changing my own rules so I can just enjoy their company,  Then I get to spend time wishing I'd said no.  Any advice would be helpful.

Alone

 I've been single for several years now, living alone with my young daughter for a lot of them.  I quite enjoy it.  Not because I want to be alone, but because I want the person I share my life with to be someone who doesn't add to my stress, workload, or expenses.  Unless or until I find someone who helps make life better for both of us, like I try to do, I'm very content with my own company.  Isn't it odd how many people expect a woman to be desperate to be with someone just because she's single?  I don't think it's weird to want to retire from taking care of people who don't appreciate it after 30 years.  Do you?

A Promise

 This morning, while meditating, I made a promise to the earth to cut everything unnatural out of my life as soon as I am able.  I truly hope that it happens soon.

Feel the Love

 The earth loves you.  The ether loves you.  If you let go of what's going on around you, let go of what's going on within you, you can feel it.  Reach out with your quiet mind, feel it in your head, feel it surround your body.  If you let it in, you can feel it in your heart.  It has no agenda.  You don't have to question it.  It is just unconditional love in it's purest form.
