Today’s Horoscope
Too true… I was up at 3am doing my calendar for today!
Dedication In Purposes
Cancer Daily Horoscope
You may feel purposeful and reliable today as you address your personal and professional responsibilities. A strong sense of purpose can drive you to devote yourself more fully to those activities and obligations that are related to your short- and long-term goals. Your commitment to fulfilling your purpose can give you extra energy and enthusiasm that can be channeled into both work and play. You may project an aura of dedication that causes people in positions of authority to take notice of and put their faith in you. An opportunity to advance in your career, change jobs, study at a university or abroad, or take a relationship to the next level may present itself today. You’ll likely cope with these changes in your day-to-day life with poise and grace today.
Understanding your soul’s purpose can help you maintain a strong attitude of dedication that makes fulfilling your obligations a joyful experience. When we drift aimlessly through life, the responsibilities we assume can seem a burdensome and aimless expenditure of time. Knowledge of purpose gives activity meaning by enabling you to comprehend the broader repercussion of your choice to devote yourself to a single path. Your resolve is cemented by the connection you feel to your purpose and the pride you feel upon accomplishing tasks that relate directly to the fulfillment of that purpose. In commitment, you will find satisfaction unlike any you’ve experienced before. Because your purpose is clear today, you will have little trouble fulfilling the expectations you have set for yourself.
What I Did Today.. in Pictures (not mine)
I Remember Everything You Say..
Ever have one of those people in your life where you can remember everything they say (everything important, that is) and when they said it? Can you still say “yes” to that question, even when you can’t remember, having been in Wal-Mart (or Sainsbury’s) for an hour or more, where the heck your car is parked? 😉
If you believe in horoscopes..
“Slowly, you are starting to make sense of your latest idea. As your circumstances change, you can see more ‘use’ for the notion that you keep entertaining. As you keep entertaining it, it keeps entertaining you. At the moment, there’s something rather irritatingly tantalising about the vision. It is shrouded in mist. You can’t pin it down or fully define its shape. Yet with each passing moment, the fog is lifting and it is getting easier to appreciate the true significance of your instinctive preference. This week’s Full Moon is your invitation to move beyond the conventional realm.”

I’m off
just overnight, to Dallas for my niece’s baptism. A flight is involved (yay!).
See you soon!

“Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is feeling the fear and taking action anyway.” Eleanor Roosevelt
A Saturday At Work
I had to work today. The mission was to ensure that technical equipment was functional at a conference my job was sponsoring. The theme involved treating cancer patients from a medical and psychological perspective.
The gist of this is that I had to turn on a CD player when music was required, ensure a microphone was working when people wanted to speak, project some powerpoint presentations on a screen, and anticipate (sometimes in a failing manner) when to hit “page down” to the next slide. 🙂
The nice part of this was that I actually “got something” out of the presentations, aside from the little boxes of chocolates the marketing team gave me. 🙂 For example, people who wake up consistantly at 3 or 4 am may be experiencing a surge of Cortisol, due to stress.
There was also a nice relaxation technique, taught by one of the presenters:
Focus on something in the room. Don’t take your eyes off of it for the duration of the exercise:
Think about 5 things you can see (in your peripheral vision)
Think about 5 things you feel
Think about 5 things you hear.
Think about 4 things you can see….
and keep going down to 1.
By the time you get through 1, you should be more relaxed. If not, go back to 5 and do it again.

The Myth:
Cancerians, we are asked to believe, are soft, soppy, supposedly sweet natured folk who can’t say boo to a goose. These kind, gentle timid types are fond of home and hearth, devoted to their families and keen to live as much as possible in a cosy world of calm and comfort. They exist only to please others and love nothing more than martyrdom!
The Truth:
While this pretty piece of propaganda may accurately describe the soft underbelly of the crab, it makes no allowance for that terribly tough shell or those powerful pincers. Cancerians are quite capable of kicking up a fuss and putting up a fight. It’s just that they prefer a quiet life when they can get one. Thus, they wait till a crucial line has been crossed before letting their anger out. Once that happens though, they summon the same steely resolve that they normally apply to keeping trouble at bay. They reserve their own strength only because they are slightly scared of it.
The Key To Success:
To be a Cancerian is to be blessed with an infallible inner radar screen. It is to care, passionately, about the people who matter to you and the causes that have meaning to you. It is to know, always, what must be done and why – and never to be wrong. Yet it is also to feel your best is never good enough, even though it certainly is. All you ever have to do, to be successful, is be yourself with a little more confidence.
