day one after Yom Kippur

This is the early afternoon of the first day after Yom Kippur. All has been good. I have been aok. So far - so good.

I will try to keep a running record of this goodness or lack of badness. To be more clear - I have been pretty good at not getting angry or too inpatient. I have not been demanding. I am not controlling (in general!). I do not plan to be worse in these areas. I plan, through some of these posts to maintain an awareness and record. Why? Why not? Being aware - being MINDFUL is THE KEY!

Today is also noteworthy in that it begins a new period as no other previous period has begun. I don't think there ever was a time after Yom Kippur when I had not talked with my parents during the High Holidays. This is new. This is ok. I DID check on there well-being relative to all the rain and flooding in the East by calling the local authorities. There was no flooding in their area according to police. That was good to hear. As for their health - Debbie's note indicated they were fine by its absense of anything problematical being mentioned and as indicated by them doing stuff at the local High Holiday celebrations. So - all is well. Good. And I am good and fine with this since it is all that is possible, really, especially as it protects me and mine which has been mightily assaulted by them over the years. No need to subject myself to their nasty stuff and nothing I can do that could ever be enough to please them. So it is.

And now... into the future!

But wait.... what about left-over and/or old notes of friendship or ??? - Well I sent something to John Ward which he may never read and something to Ms. Davis which she will probably read. Ah.....
