Untangling
So, exactly 6 months ago I posted this.

Yesterday I found out that my dad has gone from 4th stage cancer to being completely in remission.
Whatever indicator it is in the blood that shows cancer was at 917 when this all started. Now that indicator is at 37. His doctors are amazed. He wasn't expected to survive for more than a year.
Now...he's been given a 2nd shot at life. I hope he grabs on with both hands & makes the best of it.

Haven't Done This in a While
The horoscope makes it seem I'm a little full of myself...but I can appreciate the sentiment. Maybe the 'stars' will too?
From www.astrology.com
Single's love horoscope for Friday, June 13:
It's not easy to step into the dating scene without taking a few things personally. Your courageous spirit guides you through the creeps and losers to someone worthy of your time and affections.

ACK!
It sucks when you leave your IM on & forget to turn it off when you are busy away from the screen.
It sucks even more when a friend leaves you a cryptic comment & then logs off just as you make it back to the computer.

Instant Karma
Seen on Crow Canyon on my way home.
Light turns yellow, I slow to a stop. SUV next to me speeds up...and ends up blowing through a red light. Turned red just as the SUV crossed the line.
However...Mr. Speedy just happened to do this right in front of a cop who was preparing to pull out of the Shell station. Mr. Officer hit his pretty light button, took off & had the SUV pulled over within 2 blocks.
Am I now?
Social Realist (SR)
The social realist is a popular person full of energy. She is reliable, well organized and helpful. Traditional values are important to her. Founding a family also plays a central role in her life. The social realist has a marked social streak. She is always ready to listen to the worries and problems of others and spares no effort when she is asked for help. With empathy and understanding, she can sense what other people need. The social realist is always willing to highly regard the strong points of the other person and to excuse that person’s weaknesses. She is the most sociable of all personality types. Social contacts are very important to her.
The social realist finds it very difficult to cope with conflicts and criticism - harmony is her elixir of life. Acknowledgement and esteem are very important to this type.
Differentiation on the other hand is not necessarily one of her strong points. At work and in partnerships, she is loyal, committed and always there when needed. She finds it easy to make friends due to her open, warm manner and she has a large circle of friends. In love, she is faithful and attentive and cares for her partner with a great deal of imagination and sensitivity. The social realist shows her feelings openly and honestly. Should a relationship break up, she tends to blame herself. That is why she finds it very difficult to end a partnership even if it has not fulfilled her requirements for some time.
The social realist is more a conservative type. She has a set system of values and rules which is orientated to the prevailing traditions. She prefers clear, structured surroundings and work processes; she finds too much change und unrest unpleasant. Her strong points are carefulness and reliability and not so much flexibility and spontaneity. The social realist is open-minded towards anything new only to a limited extent. But, should one be looking for someone to fulfil a task reliably and exactly, she is the right person.
