Corny Blog Alert!

Okay okay, I know it sounds corny, but I landed on Gwyneth Paltrow's blog and it's really really good.

Lately (for the last 6 months), I've been thinking a lot about relationships and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I think it's interesting to think about how we can begin to be more generous with ourselves for others and how this can make relationships less selfish, which I think they may often be for me.

Gwyneth has two very insightful Q&As on relationships which are good food for thought and in tune with what i've been thinking these past months.

"Instead of wasting time with the ego's version of love, return to the place of love. To detach yourself from anger, resentment, and the sense of being a victim happens only in the space beyond ego. You can only find this space by devoting yourself to knowing who you really are. Leaving the ego behind is the same as the spiritual quest for the true self." - Deepak Chopra

I have been feeling generally more fulfilled. Things are great with P. I'm still putting myself first, going with the flow, being productive. I've got to work on the better eating and better exercising though... Maybe I'll get a metro pass and start swimming instead of biking... I feel like biking rattles me up a lot. Swimming is more calming.

I want to be zen!
