Born on May 16

Yes my birthday or earth day as some call it, is May 16th. As usual, my birthday brings up questions. Am I in a better place than I was a year ago? Am I making progress as I planned a year ago? What can I change about my environment, my thinking, my planning, about myself, that will improve the bottom line? These are some of the questions I ponder and these spark others and answer spark other questions and answers and then I realize that I am still on my path and that there are no wrong answers as long as I listen to my intuition.


I do follow star signs and I found an interesting post about the characteristics of folks born on May 16th. Admittedly, most, if not all of these can be attributed to folks born on other days, but, when I read them I saw myself. My question to you (those reading that know me) is do you see me when you read this?




"Tauruses born on May 16 have buoyant and fascinating personalities in matters of self-expression. They have their own view of life and their own style. They can seem argumentative because they enjoy exchanging opinions with others.

There is a special appealing aura about May 16 individuals. Friends are drawn to their eccentric persona and their grace and charm. In romance, they don't always make the most intelligent choices when it comes to selecting a mate. Although they fall in love many times, they bring the same joy and enthusiasm to each experience.

There is a great deal about their upbringing and family background that May 16 people do not wish to acknowledge. They seem to prefer forgetting the unhappy parts and concentrating on the pleasant ones. As parents, they may repeat some of the mistakes made by their parents yet are extremely loving and protective.

Because they need immediate gratification, it is very difficult for May 16 people to be as vigilant as they should be about maintaining their weight. Because they are not known for being the athletic type, they should take a brisk walk each day.

May 16 individuals don't like to follow the conventional path. They love being on public view and make exquisite performers of any art or craft. Because of their great talent and ability to extract the maximum attention out of what they do, they have considerable earning potential. They can also be extremely reckless with their finances and should consult a professional.

May 16 natives feel that they are successful if they can do what they love on their own terms. These people are innovators who value their freedom of choice above everything else. They see no point in maintaining tradition just for its own sake."


Now, It that me or is that me? LOL

Happy Earth Day to ME!
