"Thought For the Day"

[Pegasus Unbound]

I've heard it another way, but let's go with that.

Yep, my teacher said some people use "Stupid" instead of "Silly" but she pointed out that when trying to advise or teach people, there is no reason to be insulting. I have to agree with her, so I have always stuck with "Silly" instead of the insulting "Stupid" version.

Sometimes you get what you want. Other times, you get a lesson in patience, timing, alignment, empathy, compassion, faith, perseverance, resilience, humility, trust, meaning, awareness, resistance, purpose, clarity, grief, beauty, and life. Either way, you win.

Thank you for this. Today I needed a reminder that are many ways to be a winner.

Still falling behind :L. For some reason, the days when I have the most free time are the days in which I get the least done. Funny that.

Yay! My wpm is slowly growing! Whereas I used to type ~4 wpm at the beginning of the month, I can now hit ~15 wpm reliably. Also I hit my daily word count goal two days in a row for once. Pretty cool!

I've only completed 4/54 scenes that I have in my outline, but I'm finally making some good progress.

Here are some cool graphs of my month so far if anyone is interested:

Good Morning. It's Sunday. Make the most of your day!
Did you know? By replacing your potato chips with grapefruit as a snack, you can lose up to 90% of what little joy you still have left in your life.

Today I was thinking of hot chocolate, but the idea’s the same!
(and I hate grapefruit )

I used to really dislike grapefruit, but a friend told me to sprinkle a little sugar on it and try it that way. WOW, it was an amazing change in flavor and I love fresh grapefruit (But today I have to use Splenda instead of sugar).

thank you very much, but I will keep the joy in my life. Now where are my Snyders chips and Sarris chocolates.

The therapy is very undercover in our house. We have a greyhound. Greyhounds are very aloof and spend all their time laying in their beds, eating and going out. Their therapy lies in the fact that we think “what good people we are for rescuing this clueless dog”.

I’m kidding. But just a little, because occasionally they do come over for a pet. They’d never do anything so undignified as to lay in your lap.
