This is great, I have a plan to write. However, first I have to paste a Daily Om from Today. This is great. I think it ties in with the idea I have to write:

Owning Your Emotions
Name It and Claim It
Our feelings can sometimes present a very challenging aspect of our lives. We experience intense emotions without understanding precisely why and consequently find it difficult to identify the solutions that will soothe our distressed minds and hearts. Yet it is only when we are capable of naming our feelings that we can tame them by finding an appropriate resolution. We retake control of our personal power by becoming courageous enough to articulate, out loud and concisely, the essence of our emotions. Our assuming ownership of the challenges before us in this way empowers us to shift from one emotional state to another—we can let go of pain and upset because we have defined it, examined the effect it had on our lives, and then exerted our authority over it by making it our own. By naming our feelings, we claim the right to divest ourselves of them at will.
As you prepare to acknowledge your feelings aloud, gently remind yourself that being specific is an important part of exercising control. Whatever the nature of your feelings, carefully define the reaction taking place within you. If you are afraid of a situation or intimidated by an individual, try not to mince words while giving voice to your anxiety. The precision with which you express yourself is indicative of your overall willingness to stare your feelings in the face without flinching. Naming and claiming cannot always work in the vacuum of the soul. There may be times in which you will find the release you desire only by admitting your feelings before others. When this is the case, your ability to outline your feelings explicitly can help you ask for the support, aid, or guidance you need without becoming mired in the feelings that led you to make such an admission in the first place.
When you have moved past the apprehension associated with expressing your distressing feelings out loud, you may be surprised to discover that you feel liberated and lightened. This is because the act of making a clear connection between your circumstances and your feelings unravels the mystery that previously kept you from being in complete control of your emotional state. To give voice to your feelings, you must necessarily let them go. In the process, you naturally relax and rediscover your emotional equilibrium.
Well, since last I wrote, I have gifted 2 people different things. They were: The earrings, I also gifted a blouse. Both seem well received. Today, I said it wasn't about the reward. Then, 1st I'll mention I was given a pack of gum the other day, so I thought that was cool!
I got a bill fom my dentist on Saturday. Then, I got another one today. I couldn't understand at first, then I figured that they had to add something. So, I come in, open one, and I see, marked across my bill- Balance Paid In Full. Thank You.
I did not pay that bill.
Amazing. It was My Mom. I figured that out. I called her and thanked her profusely. She had offered me before to help, and I had declined. Well, she went there to get some work done, and asked to pay my bill. She told them that If I called to ask about it, that they were to tell me that the tooth fairy did it. Absolutely wonderful.
All I can say is that keep doing the nice things for the sheer joy of it, not, for the reward.
I have to get my moods under control. I have been feeling off again. I thankfully stopped myself from saying something to someone who rubbed me the wrong way. A few people did. It's like people full of their own trouble like to spread it around. Me, I just stay in the cage and do my work. I don't go and seek the others out. Gosh, How angry I got today, and I tried to suck it back, talk myself down. I haven't been as diligent as I need to be in my prayers as of late, and I have to set that straight.
I need to do all the things that are good for me. I need to hypnotize myself, meditate, get tranquil. I have been out of sandalwood for weeks, as they were shipping it by water from India to Surya, and I got a warning letter, 4-6 weeks without my sandalwood. I can feel just how much I miss it. I think that has contributed to my mood as of late. I need the things in my life that balance me, and keep me whole. I believe in something bigger then the dreck that is so easy to get sucked into. There is more to life then getting angry and getting by, that whole thing with getting through the day is crap. Every day becomes another day that has to be gotten through, and where is the joy in that?
I have to remember that and spend more time focused on the things that make me feel better, and less on what I don't need.
I must spend my time and thoughts with care, as all things in life are an investment.
Thanks again Neville, you inspire me. That reminds me, I saw the book your faith is your fortune in my dream the other night, and I know, Know, Know that I have to read it again, as this is the time to begin strengthening that faith again, as it can take me so many amazing places. Lest ye had faith you could move mountains. I am ready, to move those Mountains. Or in the truest measure of faith...What Mountains???
