Voluntary Simplicity stuff
lighter:
I really enjoyed that, CB.
Lately, I've been noticing feeling present, without thinking about it. Just being present, and it's everything. It's feeling in the right place at the right time for the right reason. So comforting and everything is a smile or the verge of smiling. A sea change. An entire inner universe shifting into place.
It's not about shutting out other things. It's about being present, in the moment. Simple, but not so simple. Is it a groove we drop into? Is it something we seek or is it something we relax into and allow ourselves to float on? Thinking about it creates some worry and a shift OUT of being present, I notice.
I wonder what shifts inside us.... electromagnetically, chemically when we drop in and out of being present/alive. I don't even know if I've done research or learned anything about it. I assume things do shift and change, but being present means I don't run off chasing other things.
Anyway, thanks for sharing this.

Meh:
You ladies are the closest thing I have to a Not-Dead Poets Society.
Random: There were a handful of people I had on my Skype account from years ago. Mostly due to this isolation stuff I started chats with them again. It's reasonable to have virtual communications with people, yet in comparison to chatting with someone in real life circumstances, the online world can feel odd, it can feel odd when one realizes in their 3-D world how much of their time is being spent in a virtual world. I don't think virtual world are "Bad" exactly. Still there is a tendency to feel like what is on line isn't legitimate, or that there is some social ruling about it as if being on-line is a crutch. It's not exactly fulfilling though.
Hopalong:
I hear that, G.
I rarely video-talked with anyone before this quarantine.
Once Zoom was the only way to hold my Covenant Group (church women thing) I bit the bullet. After awkwardness for several meetings, we've all relaxed into it.
And I've been surprised how positive and intimate my online T sessions are.
I figure I'll take whatever format's available and just adjust. It's not the same but in some ways at some times, it's more focused and intimate. That's odd but I'm glad to find a positive as long as it lasts.
Hops

I want face to face appointments with my T again..... Whaaaaaaa.
I'm not comfortable with Zoom or WhatsApp.
I miss and want the old ways.
