More Quotes I Like
•December 9, 2009 • Leave a Comment~~~~~~~~~
I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in life. And I am horribly limited.
— Sylvia Plath

Holly: I don’t want to make any mistakes.
Gerry: Then you’re in the wrong species, love. Be a duck.
— P.S. I Love You

Almost Fantastic Wipe Out
•December 6, 2009 • 1 CommentI almost had a fantastic wipe out this morning before going to church. I was at my car scrapping the windows from all the snow and I was walking around the back of my car, but did not see that it was a huge ice patch. Basically a skating rink. I slipped and started flailing. Keep slipping and flailing. There was no place to get a steady foot hold. So I just kept flailing. I couldn’t believe I wasn’t already on my patushka. It was remarkable. And funny too, but no one besides me saw me. There was an older lady getting in her car, but she had her back to me. Too bad for her. I would have made her day.
John Wooden = The Man
•December 2, 2009 • Leave a Comment“Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming.”
“Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.”
“Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.”
“Adversity is the state in which man mostly easily becomes acquainted with himself, being especially free of admirers then.”
“Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.”
“It isn’t what you do, but how you do it.”
“You can’t let praise or criticism get to you. It’s a weakness to get caught up in either one.”
“You can’t live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.”
**John Robert Wooden (born October 14, 1910) is a retired American basketball coach. He is a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame as both a player (class of 1961) and as a coach (class of 1973). He was the first person ever enshrined in both categories; only Lenny Wilkens and Bill Sharman have since been so honored. His 10 NCAA National Championships in 12 years while at UCLA are unmatched by any other college basketball coach. (~Wikipedia)
Made My Boss Laugh
•November 30, 2009 • 1 CommentSo this morning I had to go to a short meeting with another counselor at my agency and my two supervisors, one of whom is the director. We were discussing a slightly complicated case.
At one point in the discussion my co-counselor asked me a question. He was recalling that at the time he’d met the client’s mother she had been pregnant. I told him that she’d had her baby since then and he said, “Oh, yeah? How’d that go?” The question caught me off guard and confused me a bit, so I just said the first thing that came to mind…
“Uh… it came out.”
My boss (the director) started laughing so hard. It was so funny. He even had a little trouble recovering.
It totally made my day.
Ditching Links
•November 21, 2009 • 2 CommentsI have no idea if anybody has noticed, but recently I’ve gotten rid of several links from my blogroll. And one of those was the long-proclaimed POSTSECRET.
My journey toward deleting PostSecret was unexpected and a long time in coming. Every Sunday I would check PostSecret and read the secrets, sometimes feeling encouraged, sometimes inspired, sometimes hopeful. But a majority of the time…
appalled and/or discouraged.
So, I bid thee an unceremonious farewell, PostSecret, and pray ye not return to my life.
Then there were a few other links that I deleted. One of them I deleted because she hadn’t posted in a really long time and my list was too long, I felt. The other I deleted, because at the risk of sounding aloof and stuck up (which sometimes I just don’t mind being), I just did not want to be like her. Sometimes I just have to clean house in my head and decide what I want going in and what I would like to keep out.
Those boundaries are always in flux, so sometimes I have to re-evaluate and figure out what I want coming in and WHY. Figuring out the “why” more firmly establishes/builds those boundaries that make me…
the ever-changing, in process… me.
