Day 55- 60, September 20, 2016 @ 8:34 pm
I have been missing in action for too many days. The longer it is, the harder it is to return. Life gets busy and it is easy to fall off the wagon. But marking my days and progress is important. I make the time and effort to return and show up again and again even if only in a snapshot and a few words via Instagram.
It has been a long day. It is late and I am tired. I will say goodnight and end with today’s Day 60 from my Instagram post. I am very happy to have arrived here with today’s insight. Hopefully I can return tomorrow with a longer post.
Day 60 in a year of doing different. The bread is baked and cooling on the rack. Lunch ate. Dishes and pans washed. At last I can put up my feet and sit with my tea. The days are going fast and slow. I am already/only on day 60 of 365. It all depends on the angle of your view. Today I caught a different glimpse into the nature of people and myself. Those glimpses are gifts. They are fleeting so I must mark them for remembrance. What I’m finally understanding now is that some people cannot own up to their mistakes – no matter how costly in energy and stress it is to others and themselves. What I see in myself is that I want my justice – no matter how costly in energy and stress to myself. Now I do understand and accept that some people cannot admit their mistakes. With that, I feel a softening in me. Is that compassion and forgiveness? Whatever. I’m letting go of stuff. I’m happier with myself for it.
![Day 359 in a year of doing different. Morning is such a grand time of day with the morning light washing everything anew. I fall in love with life once more - the cat picture my nephew painted when he was 4 or 5, the orchid with dead blossoms reminding me the cycle of birth and death, the laughing Buddhas and Confucius telling me to be happy and practice some wisdom and then there's the colourful pot from the Caribbean. I put in a dollar for every written blog post. It sits long neglected. Maybe it's time I start feeding it again. Mornings are grand to sit, gaze and muse. I'm thinking of two wisdoms gained overnight. 1. We are here in the world to give to it. We cannot take anything with us when we leave, not even our own bodies. 2. I've worked too hard on letting go of [..] Maybe I need to look at them as valuable experiences, gifts in disguise. They help in my development, in the making of me.
