Visibility
As in psychological visibility.
In another thread, Eilan's about Healthy vs. Unhealthy relationship aspects, I realized that the failure to acknowledge your partner's excitement is exhibiting a remarkable lack of psychological visibility to them. So, be a friend to your partner's excitment is the moral of the story, I guess.

I'll carry this with me into tonight's dinner with a good friend.

Hi Mia!
Hi bobsgirl
When I hear the word "stretch" I get a mental image of stretch pants. If you know what I'm talking about, then you're dating yourself, too!
My word of the day is TRUST because it's something I'm constantly working on.

Lost
Perhaps we feel “lost” at times because then the feeling of being “found” can follow? I have been putting off trying to verbalise how I feel, partly because it varies so frequently – a Gemini thing I know – one moment I am not ok, and the next I am. Always a feeling of being "there".
When I talk about being “there” it is mostly feelings of being lost – not knowing where I am. Not knowing where I am going or where I come from. And how I got here in the first place, or why I have to be here. It is still a puzzle to me sometimes. Well, mostly. Still trying to figure it out, classify it, and logically analyze it. All I know is that when I am “there”, rules don’t apply in the same way as they normally do. I know that sounds freaky and silly. Part of me asks:” that makes you VERY special doesn’t it?? Which rules specifically? Gravity or Quantum Physics?” The truth is When I am there I am not happy. I keep myself private – so very private. Yet, it’s not that simple either. I have learnt to listen to the undertone in life, and to read between the lines, and I just realized I don't know how to explain this to you! – It is as if I feel at times that the "nice Nirvana" has gone. But I also know she's here – I am just not hearing what she is saying. My attitude varies continuously; my point of view and my feelings are up and down.
Feel somewhat lonely, frustrated, and so on. In these times of continuous change (!) I find I go through so many moods. From great adrenalin-driven aggression to seriously pathetic doubt in my own abilities in terms of work (can't even think of analyzing the other parts of my life!). I wish I could see a little in the future to find out when I'll have a little stability. Life is a bit strange at the moment. I can't say I enjoy every moment. But then I kinda go through the motions, which is not really good, but at least it's better than curling up into the fetal position.
And when I have days like today, I know I am ok. Realizing that I would rather be expressing my innermost love for the people in my life, than wallow in utter misery and depression. Will i still have this feeling of being lost tomorrow?
Only time will tell…

Lightness
In a sort of Bearable Lightness of Being sense, if you take my literary reference. Things are pretty darn good in my life right now, despite some snags with the university's financial aid situation and not knowing where the hell I'll be going to grad school next. But I've got fantastic friends, I'm doing what I love to do and am in stride with my true nature and fully immersed in the act of self-realization. It'sa very good place to be.
Add the love of my life and, then, well ...
I'm guess what I'm feeling today is what my handle 'eudaemonia' means: It's ancient Greek for 'well-spiritedness' or 'productive happiness.'

lascivious
I have no idea what the hell has gotten into me lately. I'm preoccupied to dangerous distraction!

Distraction
Sometimes a little bit of distraction is a very, very good thing. It provides balance in a time of maniacal focus.

imminence
Imminence: It is impending... it's about to happen. It's hanging over you and there is nothing you can do about it

My word of the day is syzygy. I heard it last night. It's an astronomy term, describing when three planets or stars or what have you are in a perfect line. For instance, during a new moon and a full moon, the earth, the moon and the sun are all lined up.
I think it's a cool word because it looks odd when you see it written, it's nearly unpronounce-able, and I am a geek when it comes to learning and using new words.
It's also a good Scrabble word.
Yes, I know I'm a geek.

Anxiety because I'm so stretched beyond my comfort zone. In the past, I would disregard my inner turmoil and attend to the pressures outside. Now, I've learned to better balance my attention towards myself and still getting the job done. Still, I am anxious. I think I deal with it better now.
