On the steps I've taken to make life at past age 40 more meaningful, purposeful. Plus the occasional rants, and raves!

My Palms As Read by My Friend-Palmist
Tonight, I got the opportunity to have my palms read by my friend, who's written and has done a lot of palm readings (or has practiced palmistry for some time now). Notes I kept in mind, based on how I understood him, while he described to me his readings include the following:
1) that I'm very creative, and have a very imaginative mind
2) that I don't usually give myself much credit for all the accomplishments, good things happening in my life
3) I'm very honest, truthful in my dealings (as most writers are, as he continued)
4) I'm impulsive, and does not take much time making decisions (decision making is actually one of my strengths---I actually don't mind learning from wrong decisions, and I don't feel bad about making bad decisions---as I know I can't see everything even if I spend days and years figuring things out, or choosing among options)
5) I'm confident, which offsets the negative brought about by # 2
6) I've got a side of me that's still very traditional (yes! I've always known this, as I still do my daily prayers using pamphlets and prayer booklets, read the Bible almost daily, hear the Sunday mass, ask for the intercession of the saints, and even have a regular Friday night prayer meeting group).
And he added that I'm one complicated individual, of which fact I've always known (just like the rest of us, I'd like to believe; what do you think?) Would you like to have your palms read, too? Please feel free to contact Nathaniel Altman by checking his home page, and leaving him a message in his home page here.
