Phases

How my perspective tends to shift:

1) Look at me! Look at me!
2) Ohmigod--people are looking at me...
3) Cool. People are looking at me!
4) Goddamit, stop looking at me--I can't get anything done.

Today I'm somewhere between 1 and 2. I suppose I'll start the evening at 2, feeling awkward in costume, but I hope I'll end up at 3. And not feeling invisible, as I so often do. (sigh)

Grrfff.

I think I have traced the origins of my crabby mood. I've been so proud that I'd started writing poetry again, but today I looked back at my recent work and it just looks like crap to me. I'm so discouraged. I feel like a great sump of unfulfilled potential sometimes.

Crabcrabcrabcrabcrab.

Okay, back to something productive. Maybe.

Hope is where you find it

Hell, I'll take it.

Daily Horoscope:
Weekend of November

Friday could feel confining. No matter where you are, you may feel trapped or stifled. You may be annoyed or bored by people around you or the environment in general. Your dissatisfaction is temporary (even if it feels like an ongoing epic) and must not affect your long-term choices. Early evening could feel bittersweet and make you wonder if you missed your chance or went down the wrong path. Saturday is the perfect antidote to lingering Friday blues. Saturday is redolent with hope and potential miracles. What seemed like a long shot on Friday looks pretty certain by Saturday. Be social. Don't keep to yourself or allow others to do your thinking for you. Your personality and warmth makes you a desirable addition to any gathering. Have close friends and respected advisors over for dinner Saturday evening. Conversation could last deep into the night. Sunday is transforming. You feel stronger and more purposeful. You also feel like a winner - not a haphazard dark horse. Continue discussing ideas and strategy with friends, advisors and allies. Sunday offers a great deal of help and wisdom - if you're willing to reach out and take it. Instead of avoiding issues or demanding problems, address them. You may conjure a remarkable solution.
