Words Of The Wisdomless: More or Less -

Words Of The Wisdomless:  More or Less -

Every one is expected to do more or less what others have already chosen to do. It's the expectational soul that chooses to go their own way, more or less. It's really special people that can do all this with not knowing it more or less.  Are you special?  I know I am, more or less...

Words Of The Wisdomless:

Talking to my therapist about the horror of my childhood her comment surprised me. She said, "I apologize to you that no one was there to protect you."

It made me think, it was the first time any one said sorry to me for it.  I've heard it said other ways, but she took ownership of my pain and I felt some closure.

Let's try it. "I apologize to you that no one was there to protect you."

I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. Yes, I'll have fries with that."

Words Of The Wisdomless: ER -

My shrink sent me to the ER today, due to my blood pressure.  I was thinking how fragile life is during my battery of tests.  I've focused on being mentally well, but I've over looked my physical health. From now on, I will  focus on both my mental and physical health!  Right after this cheeseburger, shake and fries to calm my nerves.

Words Of The Wisdoml

Words Of The Wisdomless: Natural Bipolar - "Live life as a fluffy cloud. Floating along happily till you're forced by environmental issues into a Cumulonimbus cloud. Whipping up heavy thunderstorms, raining downpours that flood your emotional world. Toss in the occasional twister to tear apart a few homes. Until, it's all out of your system and you deflate back to that cute puffy cloud." - by Chato B Stewart
Words Of The Wisdomless:  Natural Bipolar -

"Live life as the beautiful fluffy cloud... Floating along happily till you're forced by environmental issues to turn into
a Cumulonimbus cloud.  Whipping up heavy thunderstorms, striking every thing with flashes of lightning, raining cats, dogs and a few people with downpours that flood your emotional world. Toss in the occasional twister to tear apart a few homes... until, it's all out of your system and you deflate back to that cute puffy cloud. "
