Life and death continued...

"From a metaphorical perspective, our familiar ways of seeing and thinking and feeling are constantly atrophying, even as fresh modes emerge. Both losing and winning are woven into every day; sinking down and rising up; shrinking and expanding."

- Rob Brezny

It would be so great to be able to remember this when times are low :)

Life and death...

"Each one of us is a blend of life and death. In the most literal sense, our bodies always contain old cells that are dying and new cells that are emerging as replacements."

- Rob Brezny

More about the yin and the yang we keep hearing about :)

Survival skills...

* Take big deep breaths
* Clear the mind, stop thinking for a minute
* Feel the fear and then become inquisitive
* Believe that you can solve this
* Believe that it'll be ok
* Feel a sense of calm

Just sayin' ;)

When work is work...

"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it."

- Steve Jobs

No question. It's not always easy though, given commitments, responsibilities, finances. Maybe small steps on the side? If work is painful, maybe it's worth thinking about?

Genetic inheritance...

As an aside, U.K. researchers have discovered the gene responsible for hair greying.

"Understanding the mechanism of the IRF4 greying association could also be relevant for developing ways to delay hair greying." - UCL Profesor Andres Ruiz-Linares

Another potential anti-aging remedy. A specialist recently told me we're going to live to 100 sooner than later too! Wow! Hopefully we're not wearing Depends and we're still making sense at that point, Lol ;)

"Compassion fatigue"...

"It's good of you to think of others and to want to help those in need but you have only so much time and energy at your disposal, so put your own needs first for a change. There is such a thing as compassion fatigue."

- Sally Brompton

Good advice :)
