do you always know what to do with yourself?
I had a busy routine morning. Wake, coffee, Treepeople, home, shower, Pharmacy for a vaccine,
grocery store, home again, made lunch, put on a load of laundry and took care of some household
chores...Sat down in front of the tely and nothing. I was glad to have a moment to relax and appreciate
the rest but TV is boring and I wanted to just achieve more or do something with my day but I didn't know
what. I thought about whether other folks have this conundrum? I thought about in the case if someone does feel
this way then they must think "Well, it's time to make plans".I don't know why I have to be so meta?.. I started to inch toward doing things that I would feel
good about myself doing? -- what would I be ok with me doing? This is kind of crazy talk...I think though the thought
of the agency we all have to choose what we want to do with our free time, commit to our preferences and just go for it.
Maybe I'll go the park tomorrow after coffee. It's super cloudy out right now and I think I'm in for the day.
Got laundry in the dryer and Blue is sleeping on the top of a cushion on the couch. :O) so cute.
I hope things are good with you guys.

maybe I am worried about sticking my neck out to do independent, unique things.
Onward, be brave!
In this era you’re in, maybe just try some things local you’ve never done? I’m perfectly content having quiet tv or movie time. And when I’m *feeling* like I need more, I map out small excursions. I don’t know your area where you are but surely there’s some things to discover? You don’t even have to spend a lot of money. And you can take a brown bag lunch with you to be thrifty. Be brave is right! You can do it Marko! Enjoy the park - that sounds perfect. :)
Thanks Nikki!
even when i have every minute of my day fully planned, i seldom **know** what to do with myself. do i react to the situation at hand with ABC, XYZ or 123? the possibilities are even more infinite in my head than they are in the diverse flow of life. at the end of the day, my best guess is all i have to work with. keep cleaning supplies handy for missed guesses.
for what it's worth
your compulsive comparing causes me to wonder with you if you are afraid to do independent, unique things. how can i simultaneously foster my own unique independence while measuring myself by what others might or might not do?
stay brave. stay true to you.
Thanks Arfie. I appreciate it!
