know thyself and have compassion

I know I question things a lot...all in the pursuit of understanding "life", and my life specifically as well.

I find myself kind of just taking it all real carefully and that's OK. 

I'll go to the animal shelter shortly to play with the cats...then I'll come home

and just hang out here. Go back to work tomorrow..

I think I have finally found my 'boogie' here where I live. I have places I go for coffee (the bakery),

exercise (yoga) and fun (the shelter.) I get my haircut walking distance from here and also groceries and sundries 

walking distance as well.

I know so often I have tried to find some wisdom about life and it's all good. Perhaps my condition has

so made me want to cover all my bases...be self responsible..

The energies in me have me tread so cautiously and reach for it carefully..

When thinking about my life, I think especially in the face of 'how we think it should be' or 'we should be', I think we can think about that, but we also can start to wonder

and include 'how we actually are..' and have compassion for ourselves in light of that. I'll try to coach

myself along and try and maximize my life... 

I would so like to go back to the monastery... For now, I'll go play with the cats :-)

Thanks for your support and have a good day friends!
