True To Self

At some point, we must decide to be true to ourselves no matter the cost.

At least, this is the messaging I have learned from every male role model I have loved who left or deflected me.

But, let’s not be so hasty here, because the truth of it is that the message is important to be true to one’s self – just not at the expense of other peoples’ losses.

Which means that being mindful makes a person’s path something they must define and walk more carefully.

And those men who discarded me had no grace nor willingness to take the time and invest in finding real solutions.

A Sense Of The Ridiculous: January 2023

Employer’s clients dropped during and after holidays.

Youngling’s work disrupted due to overwork injuries.

Small tax return disbursement delayed repeatedly as hit barriers to getting documents for and connecting with mandated identity proof-checking.

(All the scammers hear here is “Oo! “Free” money?”)

I catch a client’s cold after finally getting off antibiotics which had overloaded system.

Then, youngling and I catch Covid from an unknown source – blasting my inability to work further into February.

None of this has anything to do with my true capabilities, yet keeps begging the question, “Why am I trying?”

If the universe wants me to be doing my creativity and helping others through healing, it needs to be better providing!

Desperation

I do not like the feeling and being so sick is mostly about enduring, lowering one’s head with shoulders hunched – and pushing up hard against it to get it lifted.

Otherwise, I’d just be flailing in a tantrum – and I don’t need further reduction of personal dignity.

It doesn’t even matter what anyone else thinks anymore because I can’t even control my own life situations. How can I worry about influencing others?

All I can keep doing is trying my best, resting when I can’t, and getting back to tasks – even if success seems a dimmer hope than looming failure.

Above The World

I really am an air sign, above all of my ecclectic qualities, for I love to fly above the world, land, and visit.

Maybe I have just been grounded in the muck so much that I feel such a desperate need to aim high, leap, and just keep going.

But what I truly crave and need is a good balance because I also love spending time with my family and gardening.

Covid

Maybe it would not have been so bad, but I had a full body adjustment after unknown ecposure which let the virus get into every space of my system.

Oof! Tonight I tested positive.

I knew it wasn’t just a cold: two days of being on fire with every nerve screaming.

It irritates me vastly that this required time off cannot be used productively.

The feeling of being sabotaged pervades everything.
