And she's a keeper -

About the only post I could see was her last one, back in June - but it's so appropriate for a Sunday morning, the current situations raging all about - I gotta share.

She attributes this to Mother Teresa, I think she's right:

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

I asked for it -

darthneko interviews kyburg:

1) What do you consider your best features (one each) physically and psychologically?

Physically? Low end of the gene pool here. From what you can see, I think my eyes are my best feature - mutable, sea-colored and almost big enough to qualify for a anime character. Problem is, they're behind glasses that I won't give up. From what you can't see, I've got the constitution of an iron horse. If I get sick, it's an upper-respiratory. I go until I quit. Literally.

Psychologically? I'm the product of many years of therapy, beginning at 8. Therapy that did what it was supposed to do. I'm just about unflappable. If I hear my life calling me, nothing gets between me and it. I embrace all parts of my emotional spectrum without fear - it's a part of life.

2) What are your worst?

I am as average in looks, confirmation and appearance as they come. Completely forgettable on the looks alone. Not thin, not fat (a bit over, but that's changing), natural blonde hair, a bit of roseacea, no tits - nothing much to write home about. You have to know me to find me attractive. But I do believe people find me attractive - but I don't fit any form of "classic" beauty I know.

I can be unbearably blunt - and I am the stubbornest person I know. Can't help it. Don't really want to - I don't play female games (hate them, to tell the truth) and anything that smacks of them just pisses me off. I don't lie, don't wish to manage access to the truth and don't think withholding information is bright or clever in the least. So I say what is on my mind, without editing. My spoken vocabulary is almost as large as my written one; if you don't know what a aeronautical intercourse through a motivated piece of danish pastry is, don't bother me.

This is balanced out with a very, very long fuse and much patience. I also tend to work hard towards tolerance and being able to listen. This is learned. It's taken decades.

3) What would your ideal place to live (on or off this planet) be?

I have lived in just about every climate - the one I'm in suits me to a T. As far as place? Hmm. Everything has its tradeoffs.

I want to be in a place where I can support myself. If that's earning a paycheck and spending money, fine. If that's growing my food and living by the sun's clock, fine too. Give me my books and my writing; maybe some art supplies.

I do well with long periods of solitary confinement. I also like company. Something with variety will keep me happy and healthy.

Stability also a plus. If things fall out of my control and I am at someone else's mercy, it doesn't go well. I tend to bite and claw things.

4) If you had an unlimited expense budget, where would you travel?

Around the world, multiple times. The rest of my life. I'd stop when I got tired of it.

5) What is your biggest dream?

That when I finish up with this life, the one beyond is going to be even more interesting, diverse and challenging than this one. That I am going to find out just what this life is preparing me for.

I really don't know much about it - but then again, coming into this life, I knew absolutely nothing, right?

Until then - never being bored, stifled, cut-off, curtailed, shut-down or finished. Never want to be finished.

Want more. MORE.

Ah, I'm a greedy pig.

Ugh

So much for this weekend -

I am really...I mean really getting tired of obtaining heat stroke by being out in the car driving around to two destinations and then trying to get work done around the house. I mean, really. It's only 80 degrees.

I guess it matters. Feh.

However, rising about 7:00 PM, I can get an admirable amount of work done. The living room is passable again. The floors have been vacuumed. I've watered all the yard. That takes a bit as you have to water the backyard in about 10 passes. The front yard has sprinklers installed. I have degunked the stove and microwave.

I am not doing anything with the laundry.

I am now going to go make myself some lunch, and finish up in the office.

One more thing -

Yup, right on time.

Color me so surprised.

In a week, maybe I'll feel normal again.
