You are an Audrey — “I am at peace”

Audreys are receptive, good-natured, and supportive. They seek union with others and the world around them.

How to Get Along with Me  

  • * If you want me to do something, how you ask is important. I especially don’t like expectations or pressure
  • * I like to listen and to be of service, but don’t take advantage of this
  • * Listen until I finish speaking, even though I meander a bit
  • * Give me time to finish things and make decisions. It’s OK to nudge me gently and nonjudgmentally
  • * Ask me questions to help me get clear
  • * Tell me when you like how I look. I’m not averse to flattery
  • * Hug me, show physical affection. It opens me up to my feelings
  • * I like a good discussion but not a confrontation
  • * Let me know you like what I’ve done or said
  • * Laugh with me and share in my enjoyment of life

What I Like About Being an Audrey

  • * being nonjudgmental and accepting
  • * caring for and being concerned about others
  • * being able to relax and have a good time
  • * knowing that most people enjoy my company; I’m easy to be around
  • * my ability to see many different sides of an issue and to be a good mediator and facilitator
  • * my heightened awareness of sensations, aesthetics, and the here and now
  • * being able to go with the flow and feel one with the universe

What’s Hard About Being an Audrey

  • * being judged and misunderstood for being placid and/or indecisive
  • * being critical of myself for lacking initiative and discipline
  • * being too sensitive to criticism; taking every raised eyebrow and twitch of the mouth personally
  • * being confused about what I really want
  • * caring too much about what others will think of me
  • * not being listened to or taken seriously

Audreys as Children Often

Audreys as Parents

>She’s Baa-aack

A while later, I just saw her out of the corner of my eye, moving from here to there.  But I had looked ‘here’ earlier, and she wasn’t there.  I looked everywhere.  Maybe she really does have the gift of invisibility.

Watched the last debate last night.  OMG, as people say.  I am not for McCain, but I used to at least have some respect for him.  But with all the nastiness lately from his campaign, and then last night that horrible fake smile, and the expressions, and also he kept looking to his left, as if someone was there prompting him.  Yes, he has more experience, but Nixon had more experience than Kennedy, and look what a disaster he turned out to be.  $5000.00 to buy your own health care.  Puhleeze!  When you are sick, you can barely get yourself to the doctor, let alone first have to find some plans, assess the pluses and minuses to see which covers and fits your situation, buy it, etc., etc., etc.  And $5000.00?  Has anyone checked the price of health coverage today?  What a sorry mess.  I am getting an absentee ballot, since I cannot guarantee being functional enough on the day to get to the polls, and I do want to vote.  It’s important that we do not keep the people who got us in this mess in office, and I also want to be part of history, electing the first black president.  Or African-American.  Or whatever the politically correct term is now.  I was not old enough to vote for Kennedy, and wouldn’t have if I was.  I don’t want to miss this opportunity to do the right thing.  Enough of the political rant for today.

It is a gray day.  Really autumnal.  Haven’t heard if we’re in for rain or not, but I like rain and always welcome it.  Hoping to get some more accomplished today.  Later.
