So, maybe just use the sage on the chicken, save back some of the stock and use the broth when you're actually boiling the noodles (instead of using sage in them directly)....<BR/>Like that?<BR/><BR/>maybe not.<BR/><BR/>I'm more to the thought that we perceive things because of what we think. <BR/>Like two people work the same job, go back to the same apartment complex, eat the same foods, drink the same wines...one is happy the other is miserable.<BR/>It's because of what they think about the situation.<BR/><BR/>Think you have a good situation...make that the truth in your life...and things will be great.<BR/>Think you have a bad situation?

But I have been given some very good advice, something to think about.<BR/><BR/>I know all of us have been there, had our hearts broken and been disappointed, I realise I'm not the only one. I really dont know why I let myself fall back into the past as it is actually over, I dont feel the same about him any more, I have moved on and I dont think I am carrying around any emotional baggage from that time. <BR/><BR/>And you are absolutely right, we do give off signals and if a guy gets the idea he is competing with someone from the past and wasting his time then he will give up and move on. Its true really, when I was happy I was absolutely glowing and everyone was commenting on how lovely I looked. ♥<BR/><BR/>Yes it is wonderful to be in the moment with someone, when the chemistry is there and the sparks are flying and all you can see is that person, gosh I haven't been there in such a long time. You are a romantic soul my love. ♥<BR/><BR/>Yes you and j cosmo have put it well, I will just be my usual happy, spontaneous self,whom I must say many people seek out, stay away from bars, stop looking and someone may find me but I have to feel confident within myself first. ♥<BR/><BR/>Thank you my sweet for being so thoughtful and sharing your thoughts and advice with me, I am feeling happier already.<BR/><BR/>I would love to hear about your 'Celtic Knight' experience when you have the time. ♥ ♥ ♥ XOXOdiannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06171808338793139579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-78232034748039549.post-49094905473230589022008-11-16T10:03:00.000+11:002008-11-16T10:03:00.000+11:00Thank you dearest /t. ,I will ease up on the poli...Thank you dearest <B> /t. </B>,I will ease up on the polish, if I'm too shiny and reflective then I will blind would be suitors and they wont be able to see the real me. ♥<BR/><BR/>Pleased that you liked the poem, I loved your night sky. :) ♥ xoxoxdiannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06171808338793139579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-78232034748039549.post-43190956015735793912008-11-16T06:19:00.000+11:002008-11-16T06:19:00.000+11:00For me, J Cosmo Newbery nailed it with his absolut...For me, <B>J Cosmo Newbery</B> nailed it with his absolutely brilliant comment. Spot on!<BR/><BR/>(scrambling with my tiny legs to get up on my soapbox ... okay, here goes ...)<BR/><BR/>Many if not most of us have lost loves and what-might-have-beens in our past; but spending all that time and effort looking back, hinders us from recognizing AND ATTRACTING greater opportunities ahead. I really believe this (and it's probably why "The Great Gatsby" is one of my favorite novels).<BR/><BR/>It is important for us to realize that we are transmitting signals CONSTANTLY. Messages of which we are unaware, are being received and interpreted by others. It's not so much WHERE you go (except: stay away from the bars!), but how you "project".<BR/><BR/>Awkwardly, I'll briefly share from my own experience. When I meet someone, I want us to be "in the moment". If I feel that I'm competing with a lost love or a might-have-been for her soul, that's a battle I'd rather not engage in. So I move on. Sparks should fly between US, obscuring (if not obliterating entirely) our pasts. It's not fair to WANT that, if you're unwilling to fully commit as well.<BR/><BR/>Also heed J. Cosmo's last 2-sentences ("The cautious answer is a life well lived and damn the consequences. Sometimes the best way to find what you want is not to look for it."). When it's right, it will find you.<BR/><BR/>It's the same advice I've given to myself. Please forgive the preaching.<BR/><BR/>***<BR/><BR/>On a more serious note, ask me sometime about my own "Celtic Knight" experience in the Black Forest. It probably wasn't as magical as yours, but it probably was creepier!puerileuwaitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16721399673017380093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-78232034748039549.post-35772041342286729092008-11-16T04:42:00.000+11:002008-11-16T04:42:00.000+11:00ok,i see nowwhy you're sodarned reflectiveease...ok,<BR/>i see now<BR/>why you're so<BR/>darned reflective<BR/><BR/>ease up on the polish, dianne<BR/><BR/>& thank you so much for the lovely poem you left at mo'po(!) -- very nice<BR/><BR/>¤ ¤ ¤<BR/><BR/>/t.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-78232034748039549.post-63042025231453915802008-11-16T01:11:00.000+11:002008-11-16T01:11:00.000+11:00Thank you dearest Jeannie , I know you have been ...Thank you dearest <B> Jeannie </B>, I know you have been there and in a far worse situation than me.<BR/>I am not being self indulgent, I have been so melancholy I thought I was on a downward slide again and I couldn't bear that, you know what that is like.♥<BR/>I have been going along so well,I dont know exactly what triggered it, the birthday I think and just looking at my situation, everything seemed so bleak.<BR/>I also miss Boney, my mentor, his sage advice always puts things into perspective for me.<BR/>You are right I should celebrate each year and look forward to what the next has to offer, I know there is so much beauty around me I see it in so many people and things. <BR/>Yes it has taken inner strength to get to where I am now in contrast to where I was last year and it was good to realise that I have been able to let go of most of the hurt I felt.
