It is…Monday, September 14, Two-Thousand and Twenty-Fix. Time...Complacent

Theme – It All Clicks Together

 From big things to little, It All Clicks Together. Things just fall into place naturally. Even the mess ups. When I missed my entrance at The Theatre, I messed up the "gunshot" which is kinda critical to the rest of Act 1. We improvised. The kid just grabbed me and I dropped. Turns out I didn't completely screw it up...He didn't have the gun either. The awkwardness one or the other would have created would have been tough to work around. This way, it just kind of worked out. My days don't ever go as planned but, even if it takes weeks, everything comes together as it needs to.

Lesson – Draw Your Boundaries

 This is a tough one, I think, for everyone. We try to be accepting and forgiving. We feel a bond with people or jobs or situations and then we feel some sort of commitment as well. But, sometimes, those things are not good for us - long term. So we need to draw our boundaries. Sometimes it is a complete severing. Those can be the hardest. Sometimes it is total separation, but temporary. Sometimes it's just a matter of keeping distance and balance. No matter the level it is a hard thing to do.

Observation – Lists, Lists, Lists

 I've been rather unmotivated, scattered. I realized, I need lists to keep on track. It gives me focus, it provides a sense of accomplishment. It also helps me remember because things come and go from my mind so quickly. So, I need to make my lists again - To Do lists, to get lists, Daily routine lists.

The Post

Whew!

I always feel so exhausted by the time I get here. I don't know why that is. I don't feel like my weeks are particularly hard. I guess I'm just getting old. I don't like that.

Monday was a lil rough in driving. It just didn't go smoothly at all. Then in the evening I put a couple hours in at The Seasonal Store.

Tuesday I had a doctor's appointment that then turned into me also getting blood work done. It was all good. No worries. From there I did laundry. Then I tried driving and again it was a hard day.

Wednesday I drove a bit in the morning. Then I had a show at The Theatre - which I screwed up. I missed my entrance. Hit my head on the set when I died. It was something. At night Big 'D' and I went to the ball game. We didn't stay real long. I was feeling rough. But, we had a nice time.

Thursday I was feeling really off...so I took the day off. At this point it all becomes a complete blur. Once Upon Ago. I know the days happened. I know I worked [not as much as I had planned.] . I had 2 shows and a rehearsal on Saturday. Sunday I worked but again it didn't go smoothly.

By and large I am feeling off all the time. I don't know what the problem is but I hope it resolves itself soon enough. I'm just always tired, weak, unmotivated. I fake it good enough at times when I need to be on my game but it's not really there. When I'm home all I want to do is sit and sleep. I'm ready for bed again. [And it's early.]

I'll ride it for now but change is needed. I just don't know what.

Tomorrow I have a morning run, laundry, a shower, and The Seasonal Store.

Wednesday is a Delaware run with mom.

Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday are all driving and shows.

I do wanna talk Totems for a moment. Sometimes they make themselves very obvious - such as the cricket I saved earlier this week. Or yesterday on my last delivery and the drive home I must have seen at least 50 dragonflies. Then today there was a Theme of deer - but they were all dead.  

If you’re not already there, go to the Welcome to my Life Facebook page – WTML. Or the YouTube channel – WelcomeToMyLife08. You can also find me on Facebook under Rev. Matt. And there is the newer TikTok @WTML23

I appreciate you all.

Hawk – Guiding Vision

Spirit vision and guardianship surround you. Be patient and observe. You will see the opportunities. Signs are clear.

Heron – Be Assertive

Assert yourself when opportunities appear. Change is coming anyway so act with self-reliance. Take advantage of changes.

Dragonfly – Time to Shine

Trust in the power of your light and your perceptions to succeed. Efforts are maturing. Spiritual path is ahead.

Cricket – Belief

Power of your belief is strong – for good or bad. Do not distort ideas. Trust your own intuition before believing others.

Deer [R] – Lure to Adventures
