Cara 2/25 -questions that could change your life(?)

2/25 - Do I hold too much anger in my heart?
Are there any grudges I am willing to let go?
No. I don't think I hold anger in my heart or grudges for that matter. I know the person that answered that 11 years ago did. I have mellowed (slightly) with age.
Now don't get me wrong. I get mad. I get REALLY mad sometimes. I can flip out, yell and I have been known to let a curse or two slip out. I get mad a lot of times because I think I expect too much from people and when they let me down I get mad. I get mad when people treat my kids poorly. I may have made a voo doo doll of a nasty kid or two in my day. (I am just sayin'.)
But I get over it. I don't hold on to it for too long because it does me no good. I get that now. So, I will turn away from the world so to speak. Spend time home, quiet, doing things I need to get done. Cleaning the hell outta something has been good therapy for me lately. (it's better than "eating therapy" that's for sure)
There's maybe one or two people that you may say I have a grudge against. But I don't. I don't hold anger towards them. I have written them off and they really don't matter to me one way or another.
I have learned that when someone says they are sorry and you say you accept, then you really need to and move on. You are only hurting yourself if you don't.
Let it go. Breathe. Let it go. Breathe. (you can do it!)

Cara: Friday Farrago
I feel like the past two weeks have been a farrago never mind just Friday!
I cleaned my bedroom yesterday within an inch of it's life. When I had a cleaning lady it took her four hours to clean the whole house, and sure it wasn't cleaned the way I do it but still. I spent about 3 hours in my room alone and about two hours cleaning my bathroom and the floors on the second floor. I guess because when I start purging I start perusing. Perusing old books, a box filled with my "stuff", pictures etc. I guess part of purging is perusing what you have and what has to go. I did manage to throw out some stuff. Most I didn't. I like my stuff. (Jenn just winced) I like to read my old journals. It's fascinating to me because I feel like I am reading someone else's writing. I think "who is this chick?" (and man does she need H-E-L-P! lol)
Anyway I came across something I cut from a magazine..."25 Questions that could change your life." I am a sucker for stuff like that. I like things that make me think. I devour anything "self-help" oriented. All the self help things I have read you would think I would be "fixed" already!!! This page is from a 1999 magazine. (again cue Jenn's wincing...lol) I looked over my answers from 1999. Again no clue who that person was that answered what she did. I know she had a 6 yr old and a 3 yr old and she was up to her eyes in Barney, potty accidents and a new dog. So I guess that could explain her get this woman some medication answers. So now and again I will ask myself (and you) these questions. Feel free to chime in your answers.
Question 1/25: If I had an extra hour of time a day how would I spend it?
I would sit. I would be still. I would be quiet. I would just be. I don't "just sit" often enough. (or ever for that matter) I would sit and think. Or sit and even catch a nap. Whatever. I wish I could just make an hour to do that since I know no one will give me that extra hour. I find it hard to just sit. I need to work on that.
