Compilation of Traits?

   This morning, the time-change thing sort of discombobulated the brain.  Once I went to bed last night, I awoke five different times thinking it was time to rise.  Normally, I do not go by the time a clock says even though I have a wall full of ticking timepieces.  The collection of antique clocks is a passion but being consistent is not.  Finally, I just gave up trying to go in a deep sleep, got up and made a pot of coffee.  (Yes, I still prefer fresh brewed coffee over this quick colored water that has no semblance whatsoever to the real stuff.)  Then, I had to wait until the sun rose up over the pines before heading out to the pier.  Once there, I was amazed at the brightness of the sun's reflection on the strip of mudflats exposed by the low tide.  The brilliance almost hurt the eyes!  The winding glow started me thinking of how nice it is to be living on the water.  Being a Pisces, I guess it comes naturally.  Before bed last night, I was reading several "lists" of attributes of a Pisces and most hit home.   Below is a compilation of fifteen things found in the personality of a Pisces.   I love the first one...(truth!) but this whole list is pretty much me in a nutshell.

1.  You are drawn to water and feel most at peace when in nature.

2.  You find beauty where others cannot and seek inspiration from everything.

3.  You do not do well in a highly-constructed life.

4.  You are creative and imaginative and are happiest when absorbed in a project.

5.  You are eccentric and others might view your life as strange.

6.  You are crazily intuitive and can sense things before they occur.  

7.  You rely on gut reactions to making decisions.

8.  You are laid-back and do not get too hung up on details.

9.  You do not hold grudges but rather forgive and walk away.

10.  You go into self-preservation mode when things get tough.  

11.  You have a soothing, calming presence.

12.  You always try to look for the best in people and things.

13.  You are in tune with the environment and notice things that others often miss.

14.  You can live in a fantasy world but often make it into a reality.

15.  You feel things deeply and often have a ton of different emotions all at the same time.

     Being drawn to the water is a natural thing for me but I am also drawn to the depths of swamps and mires.  The beauty there is often unseen by many.  It has often been said that I march to the beat of a different drummer where there is no rhythm which I suppose is true.  My life leads where it may and, as long as that landing spot is peaceful, I am happy.  Lots of pondering going on while waiting of the inner clock to regulate to the actual time!
