Complaining about anything holds you in the place of refusing to receive
the things you've been asking for. Justifying about anything holds you
in the place of refusing to let in the very things that you've been
asking for. Blaming someone holds you in the place of refusing to let in
the things that you've been asking for. Feeling guilty, feeling angry,
it doesn't matter what you call it;Coryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06610725328769413318noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8958747001761356624.post-87571790775399502342013-07-23T21:50:00.002-04:002013-07-23T21:54:47.916-04:00Teary eyed gem-in-iOne of my horoscopes was as follows:

Useful information for some: I recently got a new cellular phone and wondered if I could transfer my contacts in any way. The lady I talked to (in India?) said "Oh yes, there is. You can manually transfer each contact, one by one."

I really like the part when they break out of their shells. Take the hint. These are the genus Magicicada, and magic seems to be at play with their long wait, short life, and rerunning the cycle in a scant six weeks. Enjoy.
