I think my mouth died...

and went to heaven...

First, yesterday, I had a sandwich -- on crusty warm french bread, thick slices of brie with proscuitto and basil and tomato, which made my mouth so happy.

(For dinner, I had a salad of roma tomatoes, mozzarella and basil with some salt, tho I have to admit, it would have been better with buffalo mozzarella, TJ's was out!)

and then today, I had tasty bite's paneer and peas with rice -- comes in its OWN box you can cook in! Made for an easy lunch (accompanied by Tazo Chai tea)

Every so often, my body decides it wants proscuitto. I dont know why, but I dont fight it much. :) I think another sandwich like that is in the future...

(and more tasty bites to leave at work so I wont starve to death)

this week's free will astrology

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In his commencement address to Stanford's graduating class, Apple CEO Steve Jobs reminisced about the time, many years ago, when he was sacked by the company he started. "It turned out that getting fired was the best thing that could have happened to me," he said. "The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life." In telling you this, Gemini, I am definitely *not* predicting that you will lose your job. My purpose is to encourage you to cultivate the frame of mind Jobs described. Here's another angle on the perspective I hope you'll make into your permanent modus operandi: "In times of change, learners inherit the earth," wrote Eric Hoffer, "while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists."

not a bad way of looking at things -- i got home this evening, ate dinner and fell asleep. I just sort of woke up...

Hate hidden in a kinsman's heart will cause
many miseries, and more--it will kill a man.

When hatred arises, dissension destroys unity,
and men fall inescapably toward ever-ready death.
-Tirukkural 885-886

I was thinking about this one in terms of my inability to express in a timely manner that I'm annoyed, angry or feel hurt by someone's words or actions. I'm working really hard on this one -- even if all I do is say, "That hurt," or "wow, that makes me really angry," -- even if nothing comes of it, I find that just stating it outloud _to_ the person makes for clearer communication and the ability to continue to be friends.



He is dear to me who runs not after the pleasant or away from the painful, grieves not, lusts not, but lets things come and go as they happen.
-Bhagavad Gita 12:17

I'm not so sure on this one. I _do_ avoid them, or mostly run away. I had a situation recently that made me laugh so hard -- where it was something I'd been wanting, needing, and when it came, I ran away!

I think this one means that while we should have ambition and focus on goals, that there should be moderation and an non-attachment on the results of the goals.

This one is ALSO tough. I have a goal to LOSE WEIGHT -- so that I'll feel better, sexier, stronger as well as the health benefits of being fit and leaner.

Hrm. bed time
