It is now about 9:30am, Monday, 3/16/15. Yesterday I tried and did my "new agenda" which I revised immediately after to give more time to most segments. The new total is 3.5 to 4 hours long and should work. I am doing it today (this is part of the writing period) and we shall see. I am actually ON target! SO - if "free" by noon that will be cool.
Writing today included drafting an idea for grandparenting/fostering play, story, whatever as suggested by a friend. I DO like kids and mentoring and being seen as a wise elder... Can't help knowing what I like and I HAVE known that for a while but have not really pursued it consciously. Now that I am retired -- got to get on with it! Right?
Also copied and sent to my kindle the Metta/Love meditation from "Happiness" a book by Thich Nhat Hanh - someone I consider my teacher. Will I ever meet him? I was given a book by him a long time ago (11 years ago) titled: "Anger" and got a lot our of that, I think. Not enough to save my second marriage and yet a book full of ideas and mediations I still think about and which enrich my life and help me. This "Happiness" book is very, good, too! This "copying" and saving may not be real writing but this will be the time to record important stuff I am reading and is/as necesary - carry in to some new realm.
FYI -- I am reading "War and Peace" again as it IS interesting and long so I will have it for a while. My new kindle now is ok again as I got a case for it so I hold it like an open book rather then like a tablet.
There is a whole lot on my mind... but most is well under control. No new obsessions which disturb me. And in these blog writing not everything will be recorded. Some things need to be private for the sake of others. Not for me... I can be fully public but one has to keep secrets so others do not get harmed. I have been to that bad place... taken and took there... and I will not put people in harms way. So -- THIS is not EVERYTHING!
Where is everything? Well my mind has a lot. Some things in my mind may not be fully or accurately remembered... But that is how it is!!!!
note: I had ended this, did some facebook writing/reposting, did a little more on foster parenting play/story, and now STOPPING. Off to breakfast and workout... the rest of the new agenda. I hope to be done by noon! (got all done with the new agenda by 12:17 - not too bad).
