I have a lot on my mind today!First off, busy at work, lots of things for me to do, which is good! I can hardly believe it’s the time it is actually.
Second, sometimes I fear I get too lazy. And I get scared. And I start piling stuff on top of myself to think about/do/want/need…but usually it’s all good things though. Like today, I have all these things on my mind, school/wedding/work, all things I want to do, things I want, things I need to work on.
And also, I’m reading Oprah’s damn Eckhart Tolle book and you know, he just drives me up a wall. Seriously. It’s like facing Howard Roark and realizing all the things that make you angry and annoyed on the outside are all the things inside yourself you despise. His condemnation of my complaining is making me annoyed.
Is anyone else reading this book?
I mean oh my lord, you sit there and slush through this stuff and know that everything he’s saying is right, and he just has this tone that makes you feel like you’re five years old and being scolded by someone who is not your mother.
Do you know how hard it is for someone with sense of humor that is so self and other deprecating, to stop thinking that way? DO YOU?
I gotta go, I have work to do.

How weird is it that I was just looking up the book on Amazon and then read your blog? I just don't think I can do the Tolle. My gut instinct is it's one of those books I'll read about 20 pages of, put down and never pick up again. Just a hunch.
You know, I'll say this about Tolle, he annoys me to no end. He really does. But I think its because he's right.
He's not all pretty roses and "follow your heart" and all that crap, he's kind of tough love about it all.
I've read him before and put it down, but mostly because I knew he was right, and I didn't want to hear it. You know?
I'll let you know how it is when I finish. I'll probably be weeping in a corner about how awful and egotistical and selfish I am.
