~ Deepak Chopra's 10 Keys to Happiness ~
(1) Listen to your body's wisdom.
(2) Live in the present, for it is the only moment you have.
(3) Take time to be silent, to meditate.
(4) Relinquish your need for external approval.
(5) When you find yourself reacting with anger or opposition to any
person or circumstance, realize that you are only struggling with
yourself.
(6) Know that the world "out there" reflects your reality "in here."
(7) Shed the burden of judgement.
(8) Don't contaminate your body with toxins . . . either food, drink, or toxic emotions.
(9) Replace fear-motivated behavior with love-motivated behavior.
(10) Understand that the physical world is just a mirror of a deeper intelligence.

Just a random observation...
Friday, April 20, 2007, 09:29 PM EST [General]
So, to add to my blog a couple posts back, regarding water: while browsing through mine & my boyfriend's scrapbook today, I noticed a lot of pictures of us around water, which I never really realized before. Like...we took a lot of pics around the lake when we went camping at his friend's cabin last summer. For my birthday, the night of the October storm that started it all, we were in Canada, in a hotel room, overlooking Niagara Falls. We went to the Nature Trails a few weeks ago, and took a few pics by the creek and waterfall. Our first outing / "date", we went for a walk beside the canal. And today, we went to Olcott "beach", overlooking Lake Ontario (I think that what it is, lemme check lol...yeah , that's it).
Interesting...
Well, while I'm on the subject of random observations... I was reflecting on my Wheel of the Year oracle spread results for the current time, and found that the 2 cards I'd picked were the *10 of Cups and Wednesday*. Ironically (and, to me, shockingly), the day of my interview for my current job was a *Wednesday*. And, on that day, I picked a card from my Tarot deck, to try to give me an idea of how the interview would go, and I picked the *10 of Cups*.
Also verrry interesting... :)
