It is…Sunday, April 5, Two-Thousand and Twenty-Fix. Time...Resurrecting

Theme – Slow & Steady

 I've said this before. It's been a recognizable Theme for some time. I repeat it - not so much for you - as much as a reminder to me. I just can't say enough how fascinated I am by it. My life isn't ideal. I have a long way to go to set myself right the way I would like. Yet, little by little there are small improvements. It's very small bits, stretched out over periods of time. But it is happening and it is happening across the board.

Lesson – Let it Flow

 I have really stopped trying to "control" any aspect of my life. I've let guidance form the structure of my week and now that I am actually sticking to it it seems to be working out. It's taken a lil getting use to and a lot of focus to actually adhere to but it is working. (Slow & Steady.) I'm not trying to control my finances. I'm managing them. I'm budgeting and monitoring. I pay my bills and deal with responsibilities as they rise. [I've mastered tax payments and now I am working towards settling with The Mechanic for The Red Rocket.] Along the way I am letting all the little bits flow where they may. It seems to be working.

Observation – Mindfuck

 My mind is in a sort of prison of it's own making. First of all - life is good. Life is good all around [despite anything that might indicate otherwise.] As I've said, finances are leveling out for the first time ever in my life. I'm managing my shit. I'm putting money, little by little, away in this stash or that. I'm treating myself to things I've wanted. My mind seems clear and balanced. I don't find myself overthinking [outside of WTML,] or worrying about this or that. It's not micro-managing every aspect of my life. It's actually doing it's job and processing the experience I am having. My spirit is restful. I'm just sorta chill [for the most part.] I find I am having more and more moments of just being still. I've had meditations. I have had moments of just be so very much a part of the moment just sitting and being. I'm having feelings and experiences I haven't had for a very, very long time - decades. It just leaves me stunned sometimes. I honestly have not felt this good in so very long. It's refreshing. It's revitalizing. It's renewing. The thing is - my life is far from perfect or even ideal. It is not a life anyone wants to [or should] live. So ultimately my personal plan is to get to something different. But I have no foreseeable timeframe of when [or even how] I can do this. My income is limited as it always has been. And my ability to change that is fairly non-existent. Enter...my body. Every other being has balanced itself out. [Heart may be tweaking some yet.] Yet, my body is so "dis-abled" that I can't actually do anything with all that peace and balance. This leaves me feeling extraordinarily frustrated. My inability to push at things has left me finding myself bored. [OFTEN.] So I can't quite stay focused on how I feel about all of this. My life is a mindfuck at the moment.

The Post

 Whew.

<sigh>

<grunt, moan>

They're all good sounds believe me. It was a good day. It was a good week. [Mostly.]

I did start a post last week. On Saturday night in fact. But then the sickness set in on Sunday and wiped that day out. Monday morning, despite my foggy medicine head I set at it once more. However, then it was time to work on my taxes. That took the rest of my day, my energy, and whatever was left of my mind. But my taxes are done. By Tuesday, it no longer seemed right to write. I just wasn't feeling it anymore.

My work week was good. I think this is the first week I've actually made my full Goal (And Then Some.) Which is actually quite impressive considering I really wasn't sure coming into this morning. [Today was a blessing.]

I'm still adjusting to all of this - my life, my schedule...my peace. It's all working. Like, I see the whole rotation of days things. I am so worn right now. But it's OK because I have over 3 days to just kinda mellow out and fumble my way through.

Here's a lil something curious I just realized only moments ago. I talk about how I have to get in a groove for my work days. Like once they start, life is just kind of a constant blur until they are completed. Thursday morning to Sunday evening. So, I go through this whole like ritual and routine. I tie up as many loose ends as I can. I purge my brain of miscellaneous To-Dos and what not, make sure my finances are in order across the board. Then I make sure I have all my stuff ready for Thursday morning - food, clothes, bags, etc. I go to bed without a thing on my mind. It's like switching to a whole different mode.

I just realized a few moments ago that I am doing pretty much the same thing tonight as I go into my days off. I've made sure I know the outlook for my next several days. I'm clearing my mind of the miscellaneous and random - making sure I know what I want to get done over the next few. I can feel the tension leaving my body and mind. I'm switching modes again. Same kinda idea - the next 3 days will be a blur of their own. But like a different vibe - mellow, loose, relaxed and free. When, how, and what exactly have yet to be determined. I guess I'll know by Wednesday night.

I've got little shifts happening and I'm not sure if I'm writing them here or up in The Trinity. Overall, I am satisfied with life at the moment. I'm bored with it...but satisfied.
