Happy Thanksgiving (or Thursday)

I was supposed to work my office job on Friday, and I was either going to hang out at my sister’s for a bit today or just take it easy at home.  But I woke up yesterday morning with a strong desire to get my work knocked out early and spend a couple of days at the river with my parents.  I wanted the water, and I wanted to spend a little time with my mom and dad.  So here I am – good decision making on my part, I think!

Sometimes you just need to be with your people.  Sometimes you just need to stuff your face with massive amounts of food.  And sometimes you just need to sleep it all off.  I love a holiday that gives me permission to do all three at the same time!

I want to wish a happy Thanksgiving to all of my American friends and a happy regular Thursday to everyone else.  No matter where you are or how you’re spending the day, I hope it’s been a good one!

And I want you to know how thankful I am for you all!

the Infinite Monkey speaks: on self-portraits

Random brilliance from across the blogosphere…

.

All we are doing are self-portraits. As simple as that. We accumulate knowledge and wisdom and power, and we get our hearts broken, and we write. We write for others to absorb what took us so long to understand.

the Infinite Monkey speaks: say something

Random brilliance from across the blogosphere…

.

Sometimes we can’t see what others see in us. Sometimes we take for granted that they know how we feel. Sometimes I have written to people who have been shocked and amazed at the beauty I find in them, and likewise I have been shocked and amazed that they hadn’t found it before. Because it seems so obvious. Because wonderful people should know that they are wonderful. Because, I have learned, we should be telling them.

the Infinite Monkey speaks: the stories I tell myself

Random brilliance from across the blogosphere…

.

I’ve been working hard lately at observing my thoughts and choosing to change the stories that I tell myself about my life and the things that happen to me.

…

Taking responsibility for myself, for my responses, for my actions is so much more powerful than getting stuck in the blame game. I am the only person that I have any control over, so optimizing my choices about what I do (and don’t do) matters.
