Quote Of The Day: 8-5-20
"You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength" - Marcus Aurelius

Things happen in three's, so they say. Well, today, they for sure did. None of which was under my control, in my hands ...

Logically, I know this. Emotionally ... it tends to be a whole different story. Being an empath can be very draining. Still, I wouldn't give this trait up for anything - it's a huge part of who and what I am ...

Tonite, a reset ... going to indulge in ordering out ... a wine cooler, or like 6 ... LOL ... and Mother Nature's natural plant ...

Happy Wednesday - hope it was a great day for all!

In Luv, Lite, Laffter ...

 Thanks in no small part to the Pandemic, there is plenty of stress and conflict in our lives, over which we seemingly have no control.

While I believe a stoic philosophy (per Marcus Aurelius) is a great *strategy* for getting through all this shite, I do not have the necessary wisdom, justice, courage, and moderation to be a virtuous stoic. Personally, I am the adapt, improvise and overcome type. Failing that, extreme self-medication as you opted for this evening is a great Plan "B".

 A great quote my friend but yesterday was a nightmare, and no it couldn't be controlled. Being an empath really takes a toll on your state of mind. It constantly keeps your mind busy for sure.

I hope you had some wine coolers and had a great evening. I hope your Thursday treats you well..
Seduce the mind and see what a wonderful adventure the body will take you on..

Indeed today is ... new days help us to clear yesterday's path! I tried Blueberry Acai Lemonade - Seagram's Escapes. It was yummified, or, should I say, they were. I like most things in multiples - my OCD is all bout even numbers - HA! Happy Thursday, my kilted friend ... *hugs*

Yes, stress levels are running high, emotions are rampant. It's just so sad that some feel the need to take things out of anyone's control to a violent level. I think we all struggle with finding all the traits that you mention - some days are just harder to handle than others. All one can do is live the best life they are capable of. Self medicating is often way better than the pills the "white-coats" want to shove down your throat, insisting you need them. When, in fact, it's what they prescribe that can actually do the most harm. I really do enjoy when you visit - your thoughts always give me cause for reflection - thank you!

Oh my, friend ... it was one of those days that never seemed like it was going to end!! Yes, it does, but it's always amazing to be Empath! It was a very calm evening - thank you! Happy Friday - we made it!
