Here we go again

Checking in and marking off another day in paradise…

I’ll try to keep this positive, despite all the trouble in the world right now.

In catching up with life, the universe, and everything, here are some quick points to make about the last 6 months:

  • I’m fine, despite the rumors to the contrary.
  • Learned some things, and found some new perspective – more to come.
  • Lost some “friends”, but got my sanity and life back, so a good trade overall.
  • Reunited with some old friends and we got the band back together- even if it was only for a limited set.
  • Ultimately, I found my way back to the place I need to be despite the chaos of the world and the lousy company I was keeping. I’m working on my routine so I can be here more often…

Don’t have a clue what I’m talking about?

That’s OK, it wasn’t meant for you – and no worries. It don’t mean shit Mr. Natural!

Mr Natural sez: For this moment in time, I have your attention... I have YOUR attention! Did you know that attention is power? Then Mr Natural sits in his chair with an empty speech bubble above him.
Mr. Natural knows more than you. Believe it!

For those of you who do have a clue, consider your next move carefully. I know a man with a hog farm…

Situation Normal?

Let me be blunt for a minute. The “new normal” sucks. It sucks even worse watching people be dicks to each other.

But I remind myself and you that these people are scared and out of touch with their potential to be decent. We need inspired minds to find ways to bring healing and compassion back to the forefront of everyone’s minds.

What a challenging time to be practicing compassion and tolerance! So many asses needing a good solid kick…

Important to Remember

Still, I am grateful for the blessings in my life, and I am cautiously working towards a better tomorrow.

Among the blessings in my life is a network of people who continue to show the better side of humanity, for no reason other than it is what they believe is the right thing to do.

The situation is challenging but it is not hopeless, and we are not alone in our efforts. Thank you all for just trying to be decent people – I shudder to think about what it would be like without your efforts.

In keeping things positive, here is a small sampling of the moments that have caused me to pause and appreciate everything and nothing at all in the past year:
