things are good

I have been taking care of things and relaxing today. Taking care in my time off - and then intermittently napping


or drinking a coffee and watching tv. Things are going ok and yet at a certain point I started worrying that what I was


doing....wasn't enough... and maybe that quality of keeping 'on top of things' makes me feel more certain, more fulfilled


than just dealing with an unstructured day. I was thinking about my Father and he always seems to be 'at the ready' to do what is necessary - always doing his work, always taking care of his business, bills and relationships, always taking care of his kitchen duties while my Stepmother cooks up a storm for us. I respect him so much. He seems to have such an inner calm and strength and kindness. I wish I were more like him.


I am though realizing that we all have to deal with our duties whether at work or play and so I am kind of projecting 'out there' how it goes for all of us.


Part of me wants to get back into tv production and create sets for shows. Creating a fantasy world. I know I have a mental condition - but I feel drawn towards making my "own" way again - although the calmness I feel now - is in part due to the fact that I have a very calm life. Anyways, things are good.  I hope you guys are having a peaceful and excellent day. Namaste.

my friend talked about the concept of FOMO last night. She said she gets 'that' when she sees people on Instagram
at a party or doing fancy things. I think I understand it kind of - I think though hers is very important to her...She's such a bubbly person, I wish her peace. She brings such energy to wherever she goes.. I wish she could appreciate her 'right here and now' .

Hi Marco (I think of you as a great explorer too just like Polo) :-D In forming my views I imagine what qualities might help in a situation then try to bring them to bear. Peace, quiet, serenity, stillness and grounding get mentioned a lot so what you have to say here resonates strongly with me. In this moment I bring gratitude towards you for your reminder to be a calm person.

Sometimes it's good to just enjoy your peace and calm and just relax in it So many people feel guilty when they don't have something to do 24 hours a day. Not me, I like to be calm. I was not at peace through my whole marriage and lift till I was 50 years old. I prayed for peace for 27 years and finally have it now, thank God.
