something meaningful

I went to sleep last night, having just a few hours earlier lost my sense of calm


and cool. Felt in a total disarray, humiliated and crestfallen because of it. But then


I decided, I'd stick to my routine that I had, and also be kind of compassionate with myself...


that it had just been a bad few hours and that it happens sometimes. I regrouped


and went to bed...finding meaning and hope in getting back to the routine.



Slept well and then started to wake slowly with my mind digging away at me more


and more until I got up. I threw on some clothes and a hat and went to get coffee.


My life feels kind of aimless, but I guess there's something meaningful here too.


I wondered where I will find my meaning, my sense of significance - I think how some


worry about their legacy - and some are blessed with kids and family


but actually now that I am home, I think just taking care


of Blue and living a well organized life might fill me up enough. 


The sound and the fury?


I'll just keep on keeping on - and just make something out of the fragments!


It's all good.

Don’t be so hard on yourself mark! I try to remember no matter how good it appears people have it - how ‘put together’ their life seems - they still have similar feelings. What will you do with your Sunday? Any nature projects to immerse yourself in?

thanks Sensitive! I have a zoom meeting with my family at 10am - and then I am going to my parents' house at 12pm.
Just been playing with Blue and watching a Sunday morning show. Have a great day Sensitive!

That’s cool your family does zoom meetings! I’m trying to get my cousins together to do a zoom meeting.

You have a great Sunday too!

May you one day find being compassionate with yourself is an important part of your routine instead of the exception to the rule.

I am still rather amazed to find people actually **enjoying?** teleconferencing, be it Skype, Zoom or DOD (Department of Defense). I'd rather be a cocker spaniel in search of the ultimate spot to pee.
