Reasons why I like the balance of T and F in my ENTP personality.

To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart.
(Donald Laird)


(don't know what the hell I'm talking about when I say ENTP? It's not a disease, promise. It's actually my Myers-Briggs personality type.)

exactly.

This sums up my theory of the dining-room soul* nicely, actually:

I am thankful for the mess to clean after a party because it means I have been surrounded by friends.

— Nancie J. Carmody



*(if you don't know what I mean when I say dining room soul, that's OK. I'll get around to posting about it - eventually. basically, it means I strive to be the very best hostess I can be - that I try to make hospitality the gift I can always give to the people I l0ve - and that at the end of it all, my children and grandchildren and the people I knew will remember me for having that warm dining-room, dinner-party glow about me: that the one word that sums up my relationship with other people is something like welcoming, or hospitable, or inviting, or comforting, or accepting or... well, you get it.)

attitude adjustment

I was a little, oh woe is me, this morning. Just lots of fingernails on the chalkboard in my life right now -- nothing earth-shattering, just annoying as can be.

After a wonderful compliment on a previous post, and this quote, I'm feeling a little better. Still exhausted -- still overwhelmed. But at least hopeful.


It is wise to direct your anger towards problems - not people; to focus
your energies on answers - not excuses.
