Awhile back in my creative journalism class we had to write down "10 Beautiful Things" everyday for a week. I started the week scratching my head wondering what was good but by the end of the week I was easily finding beautiful things (eg. in rush hour I was admiring the scenery & cars and otherwise I'd be swearing and biting my nails!). It was a kinda cool idea. It worked on me.

Here are a few more things that we had in that class:

Examples

?What is your deepest question of God right now and why?

?If you could live tomorrow without fear, what would it look like?

?Write a letter you will never send to someone you love of why you are grateful for them. Choose one thing you actually tell them.


?What childhood experience helped to shape you the most and why?


?What would your life look like if you lived without limits? (ie: money, time, opportunity) How can you take one small step towards that?

?Describe the person you admire the most. What clues does this give you about the kind of person you want to be? More creative? More compassionate?

lol you answered your own question TG.Think what is beatiful in life and there ya go even if your gripping you still were having a good time seeing those things.Otherwise things that work for me is,take a trip to a hiking trail,nature preserve thing and relax,go out with friends,go see a comical movie or tv show;or put yourself around someone who laughs and jokes alot-it's infectious,put yourself around kids or corny dogs or something-they can be comical.Dunno,heres a question;Write 10 things that give you that sunny side to life?Reverse psychology on yourself is okay sometimes.

I don't know about anyone else but I have been having one of the toughest years. IT's just one thing after another. All of my friends have scattered about and I can't seem to have things go my way at all. This is especially true in the relationship arena. Seems lately (for the last year) I cannot get anyone's attention or interest. This never was an issue with me before. It could be that people are intimated by me and I've heard that many people just assume I am dating someone (people are surprised when they hear I am not dating anyone).

What the heck can I do to change this besides pray (although that hasn't worked either)?

"(people are surprised when they hear I am not dating anyone). "


So what you're saying is, your sexy! Haha


I feel the same way, recently what I've been doing on gray days is attending to a message board called DXPnet.com it's great.

But really what I've learned is that it when things become gray, you need a new perspective so things become exciting again. Maybe a new friend, anyone - that can really help. New music, new movie, anything to make you think about things a little differently.

I love Gemini's for that! They are the zodiacal creatures who make all the smallest things exciting and funny and..just better. They can say one thing about some mundane detail, but say it in such a creative way, that you remember it for the rest of the day. Gemini's are always running around to each and every perspective which is why they're scattered - but the positive part of that, they never really get bored, at least not from what I've seen.

In my opinion and in theirs too, getting bored is very much a fault! I remind myself of that everytime things get gray, because I agree, it is a fault, and I'm a lot better off for realizing that fact. Being able to keep things entertaining with a group, a date, or just by yourself is such a talent worth cultivating, you could never regret it. (And remember, Talent is the Highest Understanding) So we would all do very well for ourselves to learn to UNDERSTAND what it is that keeps things fun! 🙂

Make things colorful? Find A Gemini Babby!!

Elliot! 🙂

Thanks Elliot

I moved this discussion under the new title "Crappy 2005" as it seems to be a pattern I'm noticing in my life (as well as other Tauruses). I know a quick slump when I find one and I know how to get out (as well as help others out of their too :-) This has just been a hard year.

As for the Gemini bit-my best friend is one so I know how these people operate. We are very different in many aspects but get along great. She unfortunately does not live near me and our schedules have hindered us getting together for quite a while.

As for your first comment-I am normally quite humble but I've been reading your threads on Tauruses -so my response is you're damn right I'm sexy!!! All Tauruses are hotties!
