Friends Used To Be Important

July 17th 2007 11:58

I've been a very social person in my life. Friendly, articulate, and selectively engaging. And I have enjoyed my friends, acquaintances, and even the occasional hangers-on. There has been fun, serious conversation, and the occasional reverie that comes when synergy occurs.

In my profession, working with and engaging in the multi-faceted manifestations of people processes, I am rarely alone. Support this person, brainstorm with that one. Problem solve that issue and empathize with that grieving client. And on and on and on.

I truly love being a contributing factor in a dynamic process that may lead to identified path, personal empowerment, transformation of stress mountains into molehills, or whatever else the focus of my engagement with clients may bring. And, at the end of the day, I truly love moving into my solitude.

Ah yes, solitude.

Somewhere along the way I have become less social and outgoing, I put less energy into reaching out to touch someone. I've become extremely comfortable in my solitude. I am not lonely when I am alone.

I wonder if working with people and their processes for so many years has led me to a tipping point. I wonder if I will ever become as social as I once was.

Experiment

July 16th 2007 14:55

I have been trying to post a blog entry and keep getting the message that the title has been reserved for administration. I have modified the title several times, and keep getting that message. I have written admin. for an explanation.

Has anybody had this problem?

"War Fatigue"

July 13th 2007 13:10

"War fatigue." Such a tidy, sanitary, and objective phrase. And, how easy it flows out of the mouth of the "commander in chief" Bush.

That war fatigue will get you every time. Sometimes I wake up in the morning and the first thing I think of is my war fatigue. When I call it that, I don't have to think about lies and death and conspiracy and failing democracy and scandal

"Take Two Aspirin & Call Me In The Morning"

July 7th 2007 13:51

Such a simple piece of advice, yet often-times so significant and surprisingly effective. What’s that about?!?

Did you know that nearly 70% of ALL doctor visits have a stress-related or psychological component? This is not to say that stress or psychogenesis is the direct ‘A leads to B’ formula. Simply, that somehow and some way psyche has woven its’ way into soma, and it becomes apparent in the medical evaluation

Mountains & Molehills

July 2nd 2007 19:19

Do you find that your world is filled with unacceptable clutter, clang, busyness, stress, expectation, faux hope, or other such experiences that tend to collect themselves into mountains that become bigger than seems healthy? Do you find yourself longing for the benign molehills that, while pesky, seemed significantly more tolerable than the mountains they have grown to be?

Ah yes, longing for molehills. Perhaps I feel a song coming on.
