07/14/2010: "Happiness is an Empty Headed State"

My inner critic is having a field day. She is raking me over the coals. Just now she had a few unkind words about the cliches I just used. You should hear her when I venture an original thought.

All this activity is surprising when I consider that I've been making solid progress on all fronts, with work, family, friends, creative projects and personal organization. Perhaps she wants to hold me back.

What I know for sure is she makes me unhappy. And then she blames me for that.

Three morals in this story:

1. My mind takes a nasty turn sometimes.
2. She runs me around in circles, and ties us both up in knots.
3. Happiness is an empty headed state. One moment of mindless bliss.

Yours with creativity and imagination,
Darlene
