A day of meetings Inspiring and uplifting.:)

Started reading " What you can change and what you can't " by Martin E.P.Seligman , PhD. who also wrote Authentic Happuness. Now that should be a good read , eh ? Anyway , went straight to the chapter about anxiety and found this:

THE MIND IS AN ANCIENT AND FAMOUS CAPITAL
..By Delmore Schwartz

The mind is a city like London,
Smoky and populous: it is a capital
Like Rome, ruined and eternal,
Marked by the monuments which no one
Now remembers. For the mind, like Rome, contains
Catacombs, aqueducts, amphitheatres, palaces,
Churches and equestrian statues, fallen, broken or soiled.
The mind possesses and is possessed by all the ruins
Of every haunted, hunted generation’s celebration.

Yep .. that's the mind for you. :yes:

Also,I boughta pair of comfy sneakers and paid the earth for them. Well you do, don't you when you want tootsies to feel good .Emphasis on comfy for broad feet. Present ones are so worn they are beginning to fall off my feet :)) It is sooo very hard finding comfy shoes.Now it is done !

With this I bid Blogland a sweet goodnight .. take care , all .. sweet dreams ! :wave:
