One might think that I have taken to looking for the future in my oatmeal bowl. It seems that every time I get overwhelmed thinking about the future I end up zapping some gooey goodness. Forget tea leaf readings ... Oatmeal is where it is at.
I never used to like oatmeal but for the last year I eat it like it is candy. It sits so comfortably in my little tummy and feels like a really good hug. This has been especially needed this last week as I flip back and forward trying to make some big financial decisions. If only the oatmeal could really tell me the best decision ... If only I could find meaning in the placement of the raisins.
Unfortunatly, although I end up feeling all warm and cozy inside, the oatmeal has failed to give me the answers I need.
I think the anxiety comes down to this. I hate making decisions based on things that are not certain. It makes me queasy to be advised a million different ways ... All of which make perfect sense ... And all from people that I deeply trust.
We are resilient little suckers though aren't we? So even if I end up making the wrong decision and screwing myself out of security and a great retirement ... I will be okay. At least I should always be able to afford my favorite food!

Even if you screw up, you're too young to completely ruin your retirement yet. Make a decision. Don't look back.

Hi My Heather
It has been a long time since I have checked in to see what's up with you and I see that you are ot of books and reading Oatmeal. I couldn't think of a better cereal to read. It is made of good stuff, and is ever so sweet with just a touch of brown sugar or maple syrup...Now that's gotta make you smile. Have you ever tried reading those saucy little mini wheats with their sugar coated behinds or Rice Krispies with their exuberant snap, crakle, and pop schnanigans...not to easy to read with all that noise. Bran flakes are just plain poopy so don't even go there. If you are into tigers you cold try the ever popular frosted flakes....There GRRRRRate you know.
Oatmeal is by far my favorite and I often snuggle up with a good bowl of it just for comfort's sake but being the adventurous little one you are, you might want to try some of the above just for a change....The future can be read in many different ways...
Sending big hugs through the universe.... Do you feel them yet?
LOL
