Doing That Being Thing

mlerulesStarting to get a handle on it. In trying to figure out my expectations and desires, I seek to know the other(s)'s involved as well. Rather than merely imagine/fantasize/conjure up out of the ether where the Winged Monkeys live what that might be (THAT = the other person's expectations/goals), I managed to compose a short succinct e-mail ASKING what they were. What a concept!
Quite nicely/satisfactorily, I rec'd a fairly prompt (making note of my initial word choice)/quick articulate response.
Wow. I haven't done this in a long time. THIS = cutting out an entire section of an LJ post. Usually I follow a fairly strict Do Not Delete policy. Have realized thought that This Bit belongs elsewhere, not here. I haven't blotted out its existence so much as narrowed its audience significantly. (Some'll go out in alternate c-modes (modes of communication aka commodes) and some'll get relegated to My Thoughts/For Mine Eyes Only, at least for now.)
In short: I'm in the process of figuring a mess of stuff out. It's nice coming to realize I'll deal w/whatever however...I'll expend emotional energy on it b'c it matters to me. IT = deciding what to do next and/or how to go about it...what I want/need and how best to go about Making It So. This involves figuring out options, possibilities, likelihoods, factors, blah blah blah.
Feelings wash over me as I try to figure this out. I cannot quite identify them. This is when I most want to know what my intuition's telling me, as I intuit that these feelings are my guts talking, but I cannot make out what they're saying.
Why do my guts persist in speaking in tongues? Where's my Babel fish?!
*********
On a different note:
Starting place: the thread of how it's good/wise to restrict worrying to just the worst possible thing(s) that is/are LIKELY to happen (as opposed to wild highly unlikely things). It's better not to waste emotional energy and instead pour it into imagining/dreaming/fantasizing about positive visions...so long as they're accompanied by positive actions supporting the Making It So.
It strikes me as a waste of emotional energy merely to daydream w/out taking any actions towards makint it so. Well, not really. Too much focus on the ideal w/out any attempt at realizing/actualizing it ain't good, but a certain amount of daydreaming possibilities's cool/good. Trick is in finding and maintaining BALANCE. Then again, ain't this always the key?
I seem to enjoy a certain amount of imbalance in my life.
Hey, it's hailing out now - cool!
