I cannot pursue happiness
The more time I spend on social media, or out in the real world, the more I realize that happiness is an inside job. Well, true happiness, that is. (Please excuse me for using an old image. I’m recycling. 😀) Reality does not care if we like it or not; it is there, it is…… Continue reading I cannot pursue happiness
[My] Reality in Movies
Watching a movie is reading a book in a much more passive way. You can quote me. 🙂 Many stories are based on reality. Often, a movie, at least movies I prefer to watch, is simply an exaggerated version of a portion of someone’s life. Mine mostly. 🙂 Right now, ‘Shall We Dance’, cannot be…… Continue reading [My] Reality in Movies
No right or wrong emotion
Not everyone benefits from a happy person! Sometimes, a sad person is exactly what one needs. Simpatico, I suppose. (But always be yourself; you don’t need to be sad to be sympathetic.) I am a naturally cheerful soul. Fine, I’m goofy! I am convinced that it is my purpose on earth to spread the sunshine.…… Continue reading No right or wrong emotion
The right thing
I am tempted to tell you that I will do and be as you would like me to [do and be] just so you would stay because it is the easy route to take but that would render me inauthentic and out of integrity. Therefore, as we stand at an intersection, I must turn one…… Continue reading The right thing
Last week… homo sapiens and social media
Last week, as I embarked on my new adventure, my fellow earth-inhabitants saw it fitting to stir my otherwise peaceful, albeit exhausted, mind and being. Fortunately, my exposure only occurred on Saturday. I would like to address the POTUS first to get it out of the way. (I must say though that I did not…… Continue reading Last week… homo sapiens and social media
Setting up 2018
It is the 5th day of the month, of the new year, and although I managed to work on my laptop for a couple of hours yesterday, the holiday bug is still in my system. Nevertheless, it should not mean no blogging so I decided that there is nothing wrong with mobile phone blogging. Without…… Continue reading Setting up 2018
Do I care?
To care or not to care? I took one of those Facebook quizzes. Apparently, I am the caregiver! I am the “mother figure: the selfless caregiver and helper”. Me? Caregiver? Never! Back in the good ol’ days, the quiz’s result wouldn’t have been so incredulous as I was naive and gullible. I was even a…… Continue reading Do I care?
Daily life
Excerpt from Theresa’s blog post: I was inspired this week by an interview with visual artist Maira Kalman, who said in part: . . . People are leading very particular and very complex lives, and. . . every human being is a human being. People who you think you might have absolutely nothing in common…… Continue reading Daily life
Finding Joy II: On the edge of sanity
Sometimes, it really is fine to let life get to me. Then, just let it be. It is okay to allow frustration and anxiety to overwhelm my entire being. It is all right to feel my brain on the brink of explosion… that it can no longer organize information for others (so they may just…… Continue reading Finding Joy II: On the edge of sanity
