the 'stay at home' blues

keeping socially distant by staying at home, away from work,


away from family and friends is taking its toll on me. Questioning


a lot. Not getting enough expression from my energies - darkness


building up. I also made a mistake today which may be accentuating it all.


I am just reaching out to you guys. To start a conversation maybe - so that


we don't all feel so alone during this time of COVID. We ARE not alone..


but sometimes the 'out of sight out of mind' factor can multiply our challenges.



Sending good vibes, peace and good kharma out there... Hoping you have


a good weekend coming up!


peace,


Mark

I’m keeping busy with apartment projects. I’m painting an old piece of furniture right now. Just used a sander for the first time. It was fun! It’s kind of fun to look at ‘small spaces decor ideas.’ I am trying to plan and budget my next projects. It keeps me going.

Projects are good to keep the mind focused on positive things with enjoyable results. That could be puzzles, or crosswords, or finishing books, or organizing the fridge, or dusting the edges of the trim, or cleaning the oven, or cleaning up garbage around the neighborhood, or or or.....

I guess I’m good at being a homebody hahaha.

How you feeling today Marky? Blue keeping you company?

Thanks Sensitive! Blue is definitely keeping me positive and company! Taking it 'a day at a time' as my Father just said on our call.
I used to get 'so into' house projects! It can be fun!

Living in the country on a Ranch....field mice were part of life. I used to have a lil grey one that would run in from the laundry room and sit in front of the TV and just sit there and look up at it. I named him Herbie. He was a cute lil grey mouse......eventually he started bringing a few friends though so the exterminator came and got rid of all the "Herbies"!!!!
