July 24th Horoscope

Your recent attempts to catch the eye of that certain someone haven't been as successful as you had hoped they would be, and it's time to realize that you should move on. The more energy you waste on someone who isn't responsive, the less energy you have to start discovering new interests. Your life is about way more than having a relationship or getting someone to notice you. Think more about pleasing yourself right now -- and less about pleasing others.

Brick

This was shared to me by a friend...and I was really moved by it. So I thought I'd post it up here to remind me from time to time the important lesson.

A young & successful executive was traveling down a
neighbourhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was
watching
for kids darting out from between parked cars & slowed down
when he thought
he saw something. As his car passed, no children
appeared.

Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag's side door!He
slammed on the brakes & backed the Jag back to the spot where the brick
had
been thrown. The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed the
nearest
kid & pushed him up against a parked car shouting,"What was that
all about
& who are you? Just what the heck are you doing? That's a new
car & that
brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why did you
do it?"The young
boy was apologetic."Please, mister... please, I'm sorry but
I didn't know what
else to do," he pleaded. "I threw the brick because no
one else would stop..."

With tears dripping down his face & off his chin, the
youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car. "It's my brother," he
said,
"he rolled off the curb & fell out of his wheelchair & I can't
lift him
up." Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned executive, "Would you
please help me
get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt & he's too
heavy for
me."

Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the
rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He hurriedly lifted the handicapped boy
back into the wheelchair, then took out a linen handkerchief & dabbed at
the
fresh scrapes & cuts. A quick look told him everything was going to
be
okay."Thank you & may God bless you," the grateful child told the
stranger.

Too shook up for words, the man simply watched the boy
push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home.It was
a
long, slow walk back to the Jaguar. The damage was very noticeable, but
the
driver never bothered to repair the dented side door.

He kept the dent there to remind him of this message:Don't
go through life so fast that someone has tothrow a brick at you to get your
attention!God whispers in our souls & speaks to our hearts. Sometimes
when
we don't have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at us. It's our
choice to
listen or not.

is today the day???

I simply read my horoscope for the entertainment factor. Not because I believe that it will tell me what will happen in my life. Today's horoscope intrigued me and I thought I'd share it with you. For those of you who know me, know that I've been sitting on something for a long time now. Could perhaps this be my big break day???

Aquarius
January 20 - February 17
An unusual sense of determination could drive you to complete a long-term goal that could change your life in some way. Perhaps you are seeking a new job, or experimenting with non-traditional ways of earning a living. You are a natural healer, dear Aquarius, and today this talent could unexpectedly increase. This is also a great time to combine the arts with modern technology, perhaps in such fields as computer graphics or sound engineering.

Wow, it's been such a long time since I blogged in here. Got so caught and busy with work that I hardly had time to come by. Nothing much has happened significantly since I last blogged. Same old stuff...just a different day.

I just got back from taking a bit of a break from the usual routine. Went away to Mt. Tremblant with some friends. I had an amazing time. Definitely one of my best trips I've taken in the last 5 years! We didn't even want to go home just yet neither.

Anyhoo, I've once again been doing alot of soul searching and trying to sort things out in my life. I've discovered along the way again, the type of person that I would like to date...possibly even see myself settling with. I want someone who I can talk with...joke with...and be serious with. I want a gentleman that will open the car door for me or hold the door open for me. I want someone who will spoil me with simple things...like a quick back rub, running their fingers through my hair or even just rubbing my arm to help me fall asleep. I'm not asking for perfection...I'm just looking for just right. I'm looking for someone who will go out of their way to try and make my day even if it's just sending me a quick handwritten note to say he misses me.

I want to be someone who will stay true to themselves and will appreciate me for me...and not want to change me in any way except if it's for the better. I want to feel the sparks in the palm of my hand even if we just hold each other's hands. I want to be able to sit in silence and enjoy each other's company.

"I want you to want me

I need you to need me

I'd love you to love me

I'm begging you to beg me"
