Becoming more of who you are
We have a running joke here in this house – who is the bigger donkey – and sometimes I admit it is hard to discern which of us is. I’ve been thinking a lot of how the older we get the more we become who we are and having recently seen QED examples of this smack dab in front of my face, I have to say that I have, admittedly, been a little curious which of my traits is becoming more pronounced. So today when I saw my horoscope, I thought, ah, of course, that would be one – stubbornness. My mother was want to say that she would do the opposite of what someone told her because she just hated to be told what to do. Often times, this wasn’t exactly the best decision on her part. For my part, I am stubborn, but usually it’s about going forward – I tend to persevere because I am unwavering in my direction. This is good and bad, depends on the day and the way you flip the coin.

Taurus (4/20-5/20)It’s not exactly true that you’re stubborn — not exactly. Fixed, maybe — focused, determined, relentless for sure, and definitely fond of routine — but stubborn? Well, stubborn is a bit harsh — and it’s usually only used by those of us who can’t seem to finish projects as consistently as you do. There! Anyway — when a new authority figure arrives with a whole new way of doing things, just because you’re not tickled about it doesn’t mean you’re stubborn. You may even be right!
