this crazy old dear swearing at an inanimate object. reminds me of Fawlty Towers
this crazy old dear swearing at an inanimate object. reminds me of Fawlty Towers
Ah, good, someone else has been irritable and okay with expressing it in some inelegant wayDropped a fork which clattered on the worktop, calling it all the names in the book, I proceeded to smash it down from a great height, three times. I can imagine what it would have looked like to anyone watching, this crazy old dear swearing at an inanimate object. reminds me of Fawlty Towers. sorry not everyone will know that old program. Well that passed
This feeling of spring arriving and of strong energies is familiar too, though my running energies seems to be coming from within in a way that I don't previously recall, rather than primarily streaming through me.I keep having a feeling of Spring, even though its only Jan... I haven't felt cold inside but I often feel a strong energy running through my body from top to toe. Big changes afoot.![]()
Watching folks be startled at my rare antics and watching my kids try to stifle their laughter is a joy within the chaos for me. In fact, if anything can pull me out of it right off, it's someone who sees the humour of it all in a way they can't hide. That just turns the foot stomping into humour, so that the stamping feet become a rhythm and then we are suddenly all dancing.JuneI don't do that much, so it is a surprise to everyone, and I can see them being startled and fighting back laughter at the same time.
I was not angry with the person or even with myself. I was thinking about those companies being service to self. So, yes, I think I did see the big picture and was kind to myself about my reaction.It reminds me of what someone posted someplace recently (I think it was Hailstones Melt) that the key to these things losing their power is to see/feel it with compassion. Starting, always, with seeing/feeling towards yourself with compassion. Sound familiar?
Smash that fork dear - love Faulty TowersI felt some strange sensations over the weekend. Sat was really weird, its difficult to explain, I seemed to be in a place of stillness, nothing bothered me, I wasn't really feeling anything. . It was so strange I wondered if perhaps I had come to the end of my journey on Earth, if so that was fine, I was ok with anything. Something around me seemed different too. Sun was the complete opposite, I was so irritable, swearing at everything, good job I live alone,. I told myself to calm down and next minute was off again. Dropped a fork which clattered on the worktop, calling it all the names in the book, I proceeded to smash it down from a great height, three times. . I can imagine what it would have looked like to anyone watching, this crazy old dear swearing at an inanimate object. reminds me of Fawlty Towers. sorry not everyone will know that old program. Well that passed, thankfully, and Mon I felt different somehow, and still do. Something seems to have changed in and around me, I keep having a feeling of Spring, even though its only Jan, and here in UK still dark, not helped by many days of dirty grey skies and rain. Vickie was talking about the dark and light, this winter seems to have been unusually dark, even a neighbor of mine mentioned it. I haven't felt cold inside but I often feel a strong energy running through my body from top to toe. Big changes afoot.![]()

I always end up laughing at myself and the friends, soul group, whoever they are, who have been with me forever, laugh with me. Sometimes when I'm grumbling to myself, grump grumping, I sense them laughing and saying ' She's off again. ' And when I'm tearing my hair out looking for something that's gone missing, I sense them laughing. and know its their doing. Even saying, Oh you buggers, bring it back I need it, they laugh all the more, but they're also there to comfort me the times my soul is hurt. Yes laughter is so necessary, , it chases away the blues, obliterates bad vibes. It really is the best medicine.Watching folks be startled at my rare antics and watching my kids try to stifle their laughter is a joy within the chaos for me. In fact, if anything can pull me out of it right off, it's someone who sees the humour of it all in a way they can't hide. That just turns the foot stomping into humour, so that the stamping feet become a rhythm and then we are suddenly all dancing.
Or seeing something just as rare, like an eagle swooping down the street. That turns the ranting into wonder, instantly. And everybody laughs when I then say, in a still-wondering voice, "Where was I in my rant?"
Since this chaos has happened a number of times recently, we are all beginning to more readily see the laughter in it all so the whole thing is beginning to lose its power... at least sometimes.
... that could be a good thing, I think
I am also reminded that being able to rant unselfconsciously if needed and, especially if I can laugh at myself mid-rant (though this does not seem to be necessary) has clearly acted like a permission to other, more reserved, friends/family members to rant if they need to. There are even starting to be some unspoken 'house rules' about such rants, like keeping it focused on what you feel and see plus what you'd like to see happen instead, rather than, say, how others are responsible or nasty or whatever.
It reminds me of what someone posted someplace recently (I think it was Hailstones Melt) that the key to these things losing their power is to see/feel it with compassion. Starting, always, with seeing/feeling towards yourself with compassion. Sound familiar?![]()
