Killlashandra@Full Time in New Mexico tagged me with a meme, designed to insert a complete non sequitur into your day. The definition of sequitur, for those that also need to look it up is:
NOUN:
1. An inference or conclusion that does not follow from the premises or evidence.
2. A statement that does not follow logically from what preceded it.
Anyway back to the task at hand and a quick update.
The Rules:
1. Pick up the book nearest you.
2. Turn to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Type and post the next three sentences after the fifth one.
5. Tag five people.
My book in hand is:
A New Earth Awakening to Your Life's Purpose, Echart Tolle
Cooperation is alien to the ego, except when there is a secondary motive. The ego doesn't know that the more you include others, the more smoothly things flow and the more easily things come to you.When you give little of no help to others or put obstacles in their path, the universe--in the form of people and circumstances--gives little or no help to you because you have cut yourself off from the whole.
Interesting don't you thing, epically in my case, I think I've done exactly that, and it seems I've cut myself off like it suggests.
Now I'm suppose to tag 5 others, you all know the drill. All of you that left a comment on my last post are tagged, because I know you all support and care for me, or you wouldn't keep coming back to this pretty pathetic blog.
This is the longest I've gone in 4 years without giving my readers something they can chew on. I've been depressed. Yep down in the dumps, no interest in anything. Haven't had my camera out of the bag for weeks. My piece of shit laptop had a broken hinge, which by the way, will happen if you have a HP Pavillion Dv9000, the question isn't if, it's when. I strongly suggest if you have a HP Pavillion Dv9000 you get extend warranty coverage for the when. I'm pleased with how quickly they fixed the problem and returned it to me, but they restored hard drive back to factory settings. Yes.. I did a full backup but still trying to weed through what I really want to restore back on to it, or that which I'll just leave on my external hard drive.
I lost a few things, or at least having trouble finding them like passwords, that, in part, is directly related to the fog that has settled in my brain, which is due in part, with the increase in my anti-depressant/anxiety meds, the rest is all just a stress related. I'll take fogginess over mental anguish any day.
The book that I referenced above has been helping to clear away some of that fog and I'd like to quote a couple things in addition to the one above, that have inspired me to get up and getting moving again.
One is "This to will pass", I haven't heard truer words. However, telling yourself that, and believing it is the challenge. When you really thing about it, it's true for everything.
Two, if you concentrated on your breathing you can shut off the chatter in your brain, try it, it works. I've been doing a lot of, paying attention to my breathing.
Three, and also my favorite, "You are never upset for the reason you think", that is pretty profound and it's soooo true. I recommend this book to everyone, somethings might not pertain to you at this moment in your life, but I guarantee there will be something you will take from it.. It's funny because there is so so much of it I can relate to at this difficult time in my life.
Killasandra, thanks for nudging me to get back at this thing we call blogging. I use to enjoy it so much. I then started doubting myself and thought screw it, I don't need to do this, nobody cares, but I was wrong, some of you seem to genuinely care. Everyone thanks for the cyber wishes and emails. It has really helped to lifted my spirits.
