Looking over my day yesterday, it's like every single thing I did was for the nurturing and service of others:
1. Sent out holiday cards
2. Fed squirrels and birds
3. Patiently worked with boss and tried to organize things for him
4. Wrote several long emails to people who requested my help
5. Went to dinner with friend, listened to an issue she had and gave advice
6. Went home, fed and hugged cat
7. BF came home, hugged him too
I had this conception of myself, when I was younger, of being (or, more accurately, becoming) some sort of hard-drinking hell-raising firebrand.
This has really not happened, outside the auspices of my blog.
Nor do I really think I am this awesome selfless person, because I'm not. But I think it is important to observe your styles of work and interaction with others on a daily basis, if only to sort of know yourself and figure out what works best for you.
Also, on an unrelated note, I would like to note that if you sign up for one of these "legitimate" adult toystores looking for a simplest of simple implements, they will send you two billion pieces of snail mail to your door with PICK UP YOUR FREE VIBRATOR NOW! in big letters. Well...that was a mistake.
