I am not the center of the universe.
I am not even part of the Oort cloud in most people’s universes.
The question is, why does that come as a surprise every time I learn it? Less than complimentary things can be said about my ego some times.
I have a new plan:Give test answers in Haiku.Bonus points for style?
Have I mentioned recently how much I love my regular doctor? In the course of my life I’ve had good doctors and bad, technically excellent doctors who have no ability to talk in terms the patient understands, and doctors who simply don’t talk at all. And then there’s my GP. I had a 10:00 a.m….
● I am divorced. In retrospect, I probably should have never married. The marriage lasted nearly 21 years, but endurance is no measurement of quality. At the point I’m at in my life now, I think it fair to say I never intend to marry again. I respect anyone who has never married by choice….
Been an interesting few days, oh few and faithful. I know quite well that the best laid plans of mice, men and salamanders oft go astray, but somehow I continually fail to take that into account. Here is a summary of this past weekend. My six-month regular dental appointment was 8:45am Saturday. I like to…
Not me. The Kitten from Hell. She decided to go trick or treating in the apartment last night, after we retired. She found herself a nice, newly opened can of Pounce treats, knocked them off the top of the microwave, chewed the lid off, and ate the entire freaking can. Of course, she barfed the…
Well, New Mexico is still tentatively on. I managed to get the follow-up doctor’s appointment rescheduled to Monday the 12th, although I was warned that I could expect a long wait. No problem. I’ll just take a couple of good books with me. I spent last night with my legs elevated, as per orders. Can’t…
Stop beating yourself up. Ego is part of human nature and we all have bouts with the darker side of it, as well we should because it gives us a frame of reference for who we are and who we wish to be.

Thinking of you and hoping your weekend will soon be filled with lots of golden sunshine. take care, k
Of course you’re not the center of the universe. Your cats are, just ask them!
Seriously, I think it surprises us all when we realize that we aren’t the focal point to everything we occasionally think we should be. Blame it on human nature.

LOL@ alimom !
Seriously though…. who would want to be the center of the universe. Too many eyes looking!
You however are very much part of the universe of others.Don’t ignore the significance you have in some peoples lives.
You’re a well-loved star in my sky.

Thats a good question to ponder. I like that, thats something to think about. Good lesson.
Love,Alaina
It’s time to re-enter orbit.
If I could use Oort Clouds in a meaningful sentence, I’d have an ego, too.
Not even the ability to guess at the gist of such a sentence guarantees me a spot in the Oort Cloud of the Universe of the person speaking it. What the hay, ya know? Even if I try as hard as can be to be as smart as I need to be to fit in, I make mistakes, and hurt people I never intended to hurt. And the doors of friendship slam shut. Who the heck needs 6 billion friends anyway?…And that’s just the TERRESTRIALS.
