Dear Shy,
Construction on streets or buildings might make it difficult for you to get around your neighborhood today, Shy. Traffic might be backed up for blocks. If you must run errands, either walk or get them done very early in the day. The work could foul up the phone lines as well, at least for a while, so you might miss some calls you would have preferred to take. This could be a frustrating day. Keep yourself busy at home.
Best wishes for today, from the astrologers of Astrocenter.com
One of the first things one relates São Paulo is to its traffic jams. No wonder people have that in minfd, specially because everyone seems to suffer with that. I got held up in one some days ago and there was plenty of time to think before arriving at my destination.
After some swear words about the situation, I just caught myself looking for some alternate thoughts to spend time alone in my car. I looked outside through my window and I saw a couple kissing while waiting for their bus. I could notice they wore school uniforms and wondered whether they would ever have the chance to be so close somewhere else. I smiled at that. It was the first one I had had that day. After some minutes, just some meters ahead- stuck again- I could notice a beautiful blossoming tree. Yellow blossoms. I was amazed by how surprised I had felt in noticing something so simple and yet, so beautiful. I then started to think I had never really paid much attention to what is beside me, and the beauty I may find. I arrived at work late that day with so many new images of places I had just ignored so far.
The following days were the same- some even worse due to the rain- same old traffic. However, each day I managed to find something new to observe… and have some new thoughts as well.

whenever i do go to san fran, i’ll surely be looking for your soul… in case it happens to be here in la, i am here
sometimes when we dont need it we fail to pay attention to the little beauty around us… its only when we look, we find it… i need to follow his rule too
yeah…..we just get caught up in ourselves so much at times we forget to notice things that do matter.
You are right not to shut yourselve up in the steel universe of car in the traffic jams but to see outside . There always something that says a sign to you .

I wanted to let you know that I sold my other Xanga site, ElysianFields (shadesofdawn.org) to someone else today. So from now on, I will only be at Fairestc. That is why I am unsubbing from everyone and I wanted to let you know so you could unsub from ElysianFields. I can only keep up with one site LOL

getting stuck in traffic, or having delays now and then do have their advantages…sometimes we just need a moment to be stuck in one spot to give us the chance to view the world around us!!
Aww… don’t you even remember of the troubles big cities have.
Campina Grande is in verticalization process, and I keep wondering how far it will get and how bad our life will be when it’s done
Funny leaves, they look like a pizza dish, lotus pizza.
