Translation finally done! I'm physically and mentally exhausted, partially from dealing with psychotic internet connection, but it feels so good! I haven't felt this much sense of accomplishment in a long time. Hardwork does pay off! Yay! I can now sleep!!
Due to a slightly weird turn of events I ended up housesitting (technically) last night and those were some quiet but comforting hours spent in someone else's home. Felt very calm and happy from within. I'm learning to be alone in many ways, after all these years. Perhaps the knowledge and awareness that I have no safety net and no one to fall back on are making things appear more real and grounded. It's just me now, and me alone, because friends and family won't stay with you forever. At the end of the day it's still just me. This notion is still foreign but starting to have its appeal. I'm being careful relying on myself.
Seriously thinking about getting my own place.

am reading a Dali Lama book- the art of happiness and happened to come across the passage on "loneliness" this morning. The author of the book interviewed Dali Lama and asked him if he has ever felt lonely. Dali Lama said no, not at all. Never has he felt loneliness at any point of his life...because he looks at the world and people with compassion. It stops you from being lonely and isolated.
i am trying to do that. the little surprises in my life, the chances to help people and bring a smile to their faces--make me feel less lonely. true happiness does come from within. all a matter of perspective. thanks les.
