Sphere of Passions

Observation is a passion. Last night, a water lily bud.

What is in your sphere of passions?

UFO’s? No.

Climate change? Maybe.

Writing? Guess.

Balance? Yes.

Teaching? 💯%

Mental envy

Massage Envy form
Massage Envy consent form. Yesterday’s massage is a new start. Need to use up 26 credits (26 months of a $60 monthly fee). Plus resume monthly charges which i begged to be suspended until it felt safe to return.

Wake up early. Morning routine. Pray, read, write, think, meditate for the first two hours. Then begin whatever movement activity is due – walk, bike, jog, or a combo for the three. Then go on about the day.

Every.

Day.

Since April Fools Day.

2009.

Massage Envy was the only local (within 7 miles) game in town when the Podiatrist recommended massage.

It was great, until the best Massage Therapist left.

i stopped going.

Anyway, yesterday’s first massage in 20 months motivated today’s five post titles – a play off of Massage Envy, mental envy, physical envy, etc.

Mentally free at last

boy helping to set up tent
If he lives in our home after we’re gone, will the neighborhood be the same safe, respectful and well-maintained place he grew up in? That’s the vision, always has been.

Homeowner’s Association dilemma. A wakeup call about living in fear. Literally a 30-year experience. It’s fixed now. No more fear.

Mentally free at last.

Humbled by the painful discovery.

Inspired by the clarity to see it, own it, and defeat it.

Whether it’s a tyrannical, codependent community situation, or something deeply individual, you have the choice to decide between stimulus and response.

Wisdom comes from experience.

Experience comes from making mistakes.

Take a break?

Iconic mountains are cool.

Spoiler alert: This post may not make sense…simply a riff to start off writing a little differently today.

On cold, cloudy, Florida-winter mornings, it’s easy to yearn for warm, blue, sunny mornings.

Sitting at this desk, every morning, it’s easy to take sunny, blue and warm for granted.

Winters are why we live in Florida.

It’s 45 degrees now.

Had to go outside for two minutes.

The physical shock was nothing a bunch of layers won’t fix.

But who wants to get dressed up for two minutes?

So only a t-shirt and a vest.

(and always assume shorts, always)

God i hate the cold.

Man i love to write.

PS. Truth be told, i don’t even like wearing a t-shirt.

Can’t turn it off

Can’t turn it off.

What can’t you turn off?

An insatiable desire to learn.
