Just a thought:Remember, in the movie 'Groundhog Day', there is this puddle that Bill Murray's character keeps stepping in. At some point he remembers and learns to anticipate the puddle, and to step over it. "Not this time," his smile seems to say, as he hops over it. When it comes to dealing with dynamic aspects in the chart, we may never walk with an uninterrupted gait, - we may always have to take that puddle into account, - but we can learn to step over it, and even learn to enjoy the thrill of the obstacle. The same situations confront us, time and again, but we learn to turn them to our advantage.

I can't wait to watch that movie again for the 100th or so time...  Well, not quite that many, but a lot! I am going to look at it in a whole new way every time I see it now, for the rest of my life.
I love that analogy.Its just "What The Living Do"
Nice addition to the "Acceptance" and "Gratitude" themed weeks of my Stress, Public Health and You class.
This week is
Simplicity.

Yeah, that is easy for you to say since you know what are your obstacles, I am to the point that I have read so much I just don't know what my obstacles are.But, nice analogy :thumbs up: IP: Logged |

I just watched this again last night!!!! lalala la la I love this movie and it was SO GOOD to look at it with a new perspective. It was amazing. I noticed for the FIRST TIME that the radio asked, every morning, if Phil would see his shadow today, Phil being the name of the main character and the name of the groundhog. I was so thrilled with this revelation I was bouncing in my seat and clapping with joy and happiness. How could I have missed that?! Looking at each day as a different attitude toward life, a different lifetime, a different perspective that a person would have... depending on what stage they had reached in their enlightenment... ahhhhh... thank goodness for brilliant Scorpios.
