Hopalong:
I think you'd be superb at a volunteer gig that involves letter-writing, MB.

You are an EXCELLENT writer.

And that's solid work experience that goes very nicely on a resume.

Hope you enjoy it!

You'll do just fine: )

Just putting down some thoughts.

"Do what you can where you are with what you have" ~ Quote by Elliot Roosevelt or Theodore Roosevelt

This quote has always stuck in my mind and I refer to it when I don't know what else to do.
So today, while I was frustrated that I could not plant some daffodils or primroses or paint or even buy a sketch pad, instead I was surfing the internet and finally came upon a painting tutorial on youtube that demonstrated a technique that I had never thoroughly learned. I like to think that I can still learn and grow in some way even if my lifestyle is detached and ungrounded.

Many times in my life I have been preparing for some sort of impending doom. Maybe the doom really is here and more is coming.
Even If doom is here right now and is coming, I still need to make the most out of my life. I don't think this is a concept I grew up with or understood...I'm afraid that I'm disintegrating physically because I'm not exercising much and also in my mind...poverty of thought.

Making the most out of life feels like a powerful place to start because it doesn't demand that one's starting point must be ahead of the pack.

Making the most out of life can be bland or vague or cliche...or not. Making the most out of life can be very specific for each person. Maybe I'm in a good place to make the most out of my life or maybe not. I'm certainly not on "a plan". There is a church close by with stained glass windows, there is over-painting on top of the stained glass that is very well done and each pane is unique. I barely give myself the time to notice these things or enjoy them because I live like a horse with blinders on facing forward to a target. It's hard to know what exactly to focus on sometimes.
After writing so much on this board, I certainly know that focusing on my relatives is not a good place to turn my head--but focusing on how my family may impact me I think that is ok in small amounts maybe.   


So I have a mental note of free meditation and yoga sessions I can participate in. I have figured out how to get free theater performance tickets. It helps, but I also know that it's possible I will only be here on a temporary basis. So, I'm asking myself how badly do I want to stay here, and why this place compared to other places?

I've been seeing pots of red petted prim-roses with yellow centers, I swear my life could revolve around such an insignificant thing.

I was trying to figure out a church to go to, I happened upon one that is inaccessible to me because it is in the hills, on the website for the church was a prayer request submission area. So I went ahead and submitted a brief prayer request for work & health & family.
I thought twice about the family part, I have always been distanced from my foo, I have never realized it so concretely though how insignificant my family is in my life.

I'm just rambling now.

Thank you, Hops & Lighter.

Since Spring is on its way here, I'm enjoying looking at things like this:  www.kathyandersonstudio.com/index.htm
