I did my taxes Axa- and couldn't believe how easy it was and also- I am $4 off my estimate for the year so very happy to have been accurate.
The fears and insecurities we have around things build up, don't they.
In fact, I'm going to pull out a book later called 'fear of success', I'm feeling a bit wobbly by some negative comments of friends this week.
I have to overcome this wanting everyone to be feeling comfortable all the time...sometimes things are just nothing to do with me yet I feel responsible!
My friend can't get a job...but she doesn't want to hear about my business successes; which was fine, I just didn't talk about it until there was a group of us and someone else said something which clearly annoyed her. I was racking my brains how to respond and in the end I just smiled and said nothing- I can't fix everything, just be loving.

Just do it....like 'get off the computer and do it now'....

OKAY!

Love to all

Write,


I need to take note of JUST DO IT NOW.  I spend a lot of time surfing and have so little discipline about it.  The fear of success, not that is an interesting thought.  I often think of how I sabotage myself rather than move myself along.  I guess part of that is about rewriting our scripts.  There is a big letting go in changing our status.......... more work.  I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on the book - fear of success.

Hugs,

axa

I pulled it out last night, and it starts with Freud's observation about a wish fulfilled leading to anxiety or depression.

I'll read more tonight.

Bit upset- my son more so- the older kitten has already had several health problems, now he seems to be incontinent. the place is starting to smell...I decided I can only keep him if he can be outside without problems when I'm not there.

I paid a vet bill for $175 two weeks ago and no answers, nothing clear wrong with him.

Dear Write,

So sorry to hear about your kitten.  Poor wee thing.

Your book 'fear of success' sounds very interesting, not come across a writing on the concept, to date.

Will be watching this space with avid interest.

Love to you both,

Leah
