Neurosis Part II

I didn't include ALL of the text from my the self-help neuroses pamphlet. Compare with last post.

  1. You cannot teach a man anything, you can only help him find it within himself. - Galileo
  2. The secret of success is one who does not try to please everyone.
  3. Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
  4. It's easier to stay thin than to lose weight.
  5. Imaginary worries are the hardest fears to overcome.
  6. The safest gamble in life is to take a chance on yourself.
  7. A man's own self is his friend. A man's own self is his foe.
  8. He who angers you conquers you. - Elizabeth Keany
  9. Let me open myself to the knowledge of wisdom.
  10. He who finds understanding, finds knowledge.
  11. Creative minds flourish in a tranquil environmen.
  12. He who gains victory over liquor is strong, but he who gains victory over himself is powerful.
  13. It is better to travel hopefully, than to arrive.
  14. The breadth of personal power is awesome. Today will be what I choose to make it. No more and no less.

    I love #11 because I -- that tricycle is not allowed in the house young man, and put on some pants! What's in your mouth? Spit that out now. Now! No, do not put that on the dog. Daisy go get in your bed. Hello? Hey, can I call you back? OK bye. Show me your good behavior please. Bob? Where are mama's keys? Well how did they get in her water bowl exactly? -- alright, sorry about that, what was I saying?

They Call Me Grace

I was nearly 8 years old when my baby sister was born. This was quite fortunate since I was well adept at reading. I was tired of my name. Nancy. So plain. The Sunday comics included a comic strip called Nancy. She hung out with her stupid little boyfriend named Russell, was very boring and cried all the time. Why would parents who love their child name her such a boring name? I assumed they had run out of originality by this point. I was, after all, their third child. There was Mike, then Suzy, after me they had Joey (short for Joanne) and finally Jene Marie. The "j" a soft French slur. It was fitting. We had a French surname. But clearly Jene Marie was their crowning glory. Do I hate for taking all the love from my parents and hogging it for herself? Of course not. She's my sister. She's my baby sister. But if I happen to feel the need to speak to her when she's at work, I always ask for her by using both names; Jene Marie (with the schwa). I don't want her...

I am being published!

I know! It just reeks of excitement, doesn't it?  I know what you are thinking. "Who would publish that woman's thoughts?" The answer is a lovely little outfit called www.blog2print.com. In other words, I haven't been discovered. I am no closer to being a published author than I was yesterday EXCEPT that by Christmas I will be the proud owner of my very own blog book! I know. It's a little anticlimactic but here's the cool part. My friend, Becki, found me entertaining and directed me to a blog called www.josikilpack.blogspot.com.  She posted a little coupon code for 20% off which was supposed to end last week. Apparently, the code is still good and I saved $14. That said, you know it isn't exactly the cheapest way to get published but it's the best price I could find on publishing my blog!  And it requires very little technical know-how.  And that, my friends, tickles my heart. And, for a small price of your integrity and dignity, I will share the ...
