meaningful time

I find myself wanting to have rest time very much.


When I do rest, it's important for me to commit to it.


Then I'm also aware that it's really important for me


to have some personally meaningful activity


out there in the world sometimes.


I can become so caught in thoughts and taking care


of the place, myself and Blue...and at times it can seem like


I get kind of lost in the flow of the day -


but I know also for me it's real important to keep active, someway, 


some how,... it just adds a dimension to my experience. Like


a grounding and a dimension of self regard. 


I came  home from work today and had my lunch, fed and played with


Blue but then just rested and took a shower


and dressed. Made the bed, did the dishes, cleaned the litter box,


ordered medication and now I'm just hanging out. Grateful for the day.


Peace, Mark

it gives me a sense of place in the world too. Like not just lost in my own 'business' -
getting out of the house and being involved is just good for my mental health.

i'm more human doing than human being. i learn more about just being when i don't take life so seriously. not everything in life needs deep meaning.

get adventurous.
