I'm alright, I guess.

Well, I'm glad. I haven't been updating that thread for awhile--too busy with writing. I might get back to posting on it regularly.

They are like lovely pieces of advice or wisdom - especially welcome when feeling a bit down.

I also like chinese proverbs, cheroke wisdom and buddhist quotes too.
They all seem to bring me back to myself.

Here's a Zen tidbit that I especially like:

An old Zen master lay on his deathbed, his students crowded around him, eager for a last bit of wisdom before he passed on. The master asked one of them to get a particular, favourite kind of cake from the market, and the young man ran as fast as he could, and bought the master the cake. The old man ate the cake piece by piece, crumb by crumb, chewing slowly and deliberately. At last he finished, and it was clear that he was at the very end of his life. The students leaned forward, hoping not to miss anything.
The old master opened his eyes one last time, smiled blissfully, and said,
"This cake is delicious."

Ha ha, expectations and disappointments.

I must go to bed myself now.
I am going earlier each day to change my routine.
Thanks for the zen wisdom.

Sorry, yes I did mean well done.
It was too late to correct it when I noticed.

So I have one of those disposable Tracfones as my only phone, and I never use it because, well, I'm an aspie and I don't use the phone.

Today I turned it on for the first time in maybe a month because I had to take a scheduled business call. Someone had left a voice mail that said in its entirety: "I don't know who you are but you keep calling my house like every day. Stop calling my house."

Send the person a text. Tell the person that it was an accident, and apologize.

Sometimes, phones have a mind of their own.
