Yeah...no

You know if I hear another person tell me that you get what you really asked for and not what you think you asked for, I am going to just going to explode.

Today...

... I am broken.

Weakness

Compassion and tolerance are not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength.

Oh wind... why do you literally smell like dog crap?  Not a good way to go to lunch.

Argh!!!!!!!!!

Enough said.

What is Need? Continued

It is interesting how people perceive need.  Should a woman be seen as more masculine if she is self-sufficient?  It seems for me, that is how I am perceived.  Hmmm.... strange.  I am still trying to wrap my head around that one.  I have always felt that if I had to wait for someone to do stuff for me, it would never get done.  I am usually not at the top of anyone's priority list.

So now I am thinking...do I "need" a support structure? 

Not so simple exercise continues - Need

My not so simple exercise has wandered down many paths these past few days.  These wanderings have brought my support structure into a purer definition for me.  But from that definition, I now have another component to look into - "Need".

So what do we "Need"?  This is truly a dilemma for me.  I learned a long time ago to be self-sufficient in nearly everything.  Need to change a tire?  Yep this woman does not need AAA.  Need to change out a light fixture or sink, faucet, build a garden or anything else?  Yeah...no problem.

There is a fine line here. What really defines "Need"?

Support

Support is a very interesting concept.  We all look at and define it differently.  The random thought that went through my head the other day was "What is my support structure?".   So in my favorite meditation spot, I thought about how I would define mine.  During the process I had a phone call.  During the call I made reference to what I was contemplating  and I surprised them.  Why? Simple. I thought they were part of my structural integrity...my support structure.  They had me in theirs but didn't expect to be part of mine.

Huh.

So my simple exercise has turned into not so simple exercise.
