Blessings

A review of my recent posts of late has made me frown and contemplate where I'm really at with regard to outlook, general status, etc.

My posts have had a stressed and rather dark feel to them, some of which makes sense, what with the expectations of school and such, but some of which feels a little..not how I really look at the world. I am maddeningly positive, most days, and awaken energized and ready for whatever comes my way each morning. I am blessed with good health, a loving family, much good fortune, and am pursuing a new path that is already proving to be the absolute right one for me. So my grumpy posts? Not really who I am or how I look at the world.

I'm mostly a fix it kind of person.  If something is broken, I find a way to repair it. When I looked back at my Thanksgiving post, I realized I was 'observing', but with a decidedly grey filter over things.

I don't want to be that. I can make choices not to be in situations, to provide alternatives to what I believe to be emotionally toxic scenarios, to opt out of known pits of angst.

Moving forward, I have decided to focus on the fix vs focusing on the broken. Recognizing dysfunction is easy, after all.

Choosing to step around it, to address it, or to avoid it entirely? That's what takes finesse.

Warm and supportive thoughts to you,

 Stevie

It might have been the moon

 The second Super Moon, also a Harvest Moon, just happened. On the same night I had my mini-meltdown. (see prior post). I've talked with several friends who reported intense emotions, mostly around stuff that needs to be released, resolved. When I think about my angst, and how intense it felt, I realize it was all about that kind of stuff. Old stuff, patterns, thinking, habits. So maybe the moon precipitated things. The bubbling up of angst and anger and icky stuff lasted all that night, but had calmed by yesterday morning. Thank gawd, because that was a morass of darkness, the likes of which I haven't experienced in at least a decade. The rest of the weekend has been pleasant. Uneventful. Full of errands, chores, a really nice walk this morning, yummy food, naps, etc. The one thing about energy that feels constant is that no mood lasts forever. Energy continually shifts and morphs, like the Universe knows too much, too long, of any one sentiment just isn't a good idea for ...

Experiencing system issues

Last night we booked my return flight from Rhode Island. The one I'll be taking once I've situated Daughter in her dorm digs. We used rapid rewards, which tends to take a little longer than other transactions. But still. We were on the phone for almost an hour. An hour! Really? And we had to give them the credit card number 5 times. For one flight and one rental car. I'm just sayin' you guys may be the best bet out there in terms of airline choices, but come on! At least provide fun Hold music if you're going to make people engage for that long. Seriously.

It's been a minute

Oh, what a summer it's been! Heat, the likes of which we have never seen seems to be enveloping the planet. They told us this would happen, and it is.  Now what? Is it time to think underground bunkers? To really explore moon colonies? To continue, on an individual basis to do what we feel we can to help the greater effort? We bought a hybrid two years ago. We'll probably buy an electric car once we feel like the infrastructure is in place, but right now, it's not.  We recycle. Glass ( WHO is drinking all of that wine?! I ask myself each time I toss the bottles into the big bin.). Food. We compost all but animal products, and use it in the garden.  Cardboard/cans/plastics go in the recycle bin each Tuesday. My husband thinks the whole recycle thing is a big scam, and that all of the recycling and trash gets taken to the same place - the dump - because there isn't adequate staffing to sort and really carry out the recycle process.  I feel this is a cynical view, but ...
