In Kind

What notable things happened today?

On any given day there can be a number of things needing to be done inside and outside with no desire whatsoever to do any of it. Sometimes leaving me overwhelmed. I wrote a short list of a literal few things that should not be put off since they could easily be done today and so I gently approached my day with my list in tow. I usually have a list so as not to forget what I set out to do but that is another story. I needed help/assistance while out and each encounter was pleasant. I was kind to myself & others today & the day & others were kind to me. #noted

Most Things

What are you passionate about?

… that I lend personal attention to. I hope to be more passionate toward certain matters & less about a few. Either way the thoughts leading up to making the decision to be or not to be is often mentally exhausting. I must strike a better balance in giving/not giving energy where it ought/ought not be. While I’m nowhere near all over the place, I can tighten things up a bit.

What is your favorite season of year? Why?

Mid autumn through mid winter is how I manage the season. Everything about my life gets a nice overhaul during this time. I settle in/down reflect plan & prepare for late winter early spring & what it may bring. Merging the seasons together in this way makes my world more manageable, softer. I even do the months this way! I have three 10 day weeks to each month … it’s like switching gears … slowing things down a bit. In my mind there’s something harsh about not acknowledging the meeting in the middle of the seasons … it’s the best time no matter the season & they always go together nicely!

If you had to change your name, what would your new name be?

I’m not the only one?! I’ve changed my name no less than three times over the past 10 years. Whenever I’m closing a chapter of my life I choose a new name to accompany me on my next journey. The process has always been delightful yet challenging because it has to ‘fit’. After all, it is a name I must live up to.
