So after nearly 4 years living in Joplin, MO; that voice inside my head has urged me today to go to the Library and get a library card. Sound like anyone you know? LOL
It might seem odd to you, but since 2007, I have maintained Danny's email account, and I used to spend hours talking to him through the email portal. I found it to be a good way for my thoughts to go down as words, and usually if I request a question, in short order the answers I seek find their way into my psyche.
For a month now, i have been trying to remember a phrase Danny used to say, and all I could remember was that it ended in "how can you not... with all those bells and whistles". Then just the other night it hit me. I am currently struggling with my ego, that voice in your head that knows all your weaknesses and seems determined to push every button that will make me feel inadequate in being who I am.
I have to remind myself that I AM enough, just as I am. And that I am unique and offer those who choose to be in my life something unique that cannot be duplicated. When my monkey ran off to join the circus I was left feeling as if I could in no way compete with all those bells and whistles.
So the phrase is: I love the "id"~ how can you not with all those bells and whistles.
(for background) see Sigmund Freud who believed that our psyche was divided into three parts, the "id" , the "ego" and the "super-ego". The "id" being the instinctual nature that lives in each of us, and the super-ego which tells us that all things are possible. The Ego, sits in the center and mediates between the other two. I tend to find individuals in my life who could be described as the "id" and I must say that when you meet such a character they can be quite insistent. Many of you may have once recieved emails from Danny that might read... "Whales" go look it up and send me a picture of whales.
