Ok today is a rant. i'm FURIOUS at blogger. It takes a LOT to publish this blog with the formatting it has. And the worst piece of it is the damn pictures. You're supposed to just be able to click a link and voila, picture inserted. But it's not true! I've tried uploading it from my pc, loading it from my website server, everything! and I've done it OVER AND OVER AND OVER and NOTHING. What the HELL!??

This has been going on since I even STARTED posting pictures at all but for the most part I just suck it up because everyone else can post them, so I must just be retarded. Well today I'm FED UP. I'm not posting anything else except this rant because this annoys the SHIT out of me.

Maybe when I'm a little less angry, I'll post more but for now, this is how I feel.
Have a nice day.

DAILY INSPIRATION

Remembering Who We Are - DailyOm
Brave Spirits

Most of us are familiar with the idea that we are not human beings having spiritual experiences; instead, we are spiritual beings having human experiences. We hear this and even though we may experience a resounding yes in our bodies, we may not take the time to really acknowledge the truth of these statements. Integrating this idea into how we view ourselves can broaden our sense of who we are and help us appreciate ourselves as brave spirits on an important mission to learn and grow here on earth.

As spiritual beings, we are visitors in this physical realm. The fact that we came here and lost all memory of what happened to us before we were born is one of the many reasons that it takes so much courage for a soul to incarnate on earth. This is why spiritual inquiry so often feels like a remembering-because it is. Remembering that we are spiritual beings is part of the work that we are here on earth to do. When we operate from a place of remembering, we tap into the wisdom that our spirit accumulated even before we stepped into this lifetime. Remembering who we are can give us the patience to persevere when we become overwhelmed or frustrated. It can give us the courage to work through the most daunting challenges and help us trust the ancient wisdom we carry that is offered to us by our intuition.

We have chosen to be on earth because there is something we want to learn that can only happen by inhabiting a body. Some of us are here to repay a debt, learn about love, or teach forgiveness. Most of us are here for a combination of reasons, we carry this information in our souls, all we have to do is remember. As you go through your journey, try not to forget how brave you are, being here now. Honor yourself.

AND REMEMBER
"Maybe we should develop a Crayola bomb as our next secret weapon. A happiness weapon. A beauty bomb. And every time a crisisdeveloped, we would launch one. It would explode high in the air -explode softly - and send thousands, millions, of little parachutesinto the air. Floating down to earth - boxes of Crayolas. And wewouldn't go cheap, either - not little boxes of eight. Boxes ofsixty-four, with the sharpener built right in. With silver andgold and copper, magenta and peach and lime, amber and umber andall the rest. And people would smile and get a little funny lookon their faces and cover the world with imagination."
