There will be positive posts, for sure. Its kinda like the challenge just got a whole lot more interesting. I have to re-evaluate myself as a person, my strengths, my weaknesses, and my knowledge. I have to assess my assets, my skills. Its really a whole new perspective on who I am and what I am doing.
Running is not an option. Giving up is not an option. I have spent my life savings on this property, and I won't give up on it due to a unfortunate event.
But it is amazing how 1.5 seconds of indiscretion can completely change the course of one's life.
Being alone, that is an interesting perspective. I haven't been alone, actually really by myself, my entire life. From raising another human to being in relationships, I haven't ever really been on my own, per se.
I am glad you read my post and I always really enjoy your comments. Thanks for your encouragement.
Of course, my pleasure (for real, not just a nice phrase). As for the encouragement, I feel it is you and your post that feels encouraging to read, how you are facing a quite formidable situation. All I do is applaud your effort.
This time of the year is good for these kinds of reflections anyway, as it is a good way to start the year with a blank slate. Though I believe those 1.5 seconds started long before it came to this violent culmination...
If you haven't been alone, that is most of the time for an extended period, you're in for a trip, for certain! After you go through the usual spectrum of feelings, from boredom to worry, you will realize that you are never really alone, you can't be. Especially out in nature, you'll see how things start talking to you, and they don't tell you bullshit either.
Wow, those are all very insightful thoughts. Nature, yes, it is my true calling to embrace nature as much as I can. And I do pick up on those messages and probably will even more than before.
The 1.5 seconds were a reflection of months and years of pressure, stress, and tension. It tends to erupt like that, just like a volcano.
I am glad that my post has encouraged you, it means a lot to me, for reals.
Nice! And I am relieved that you found value in my response. Because lots of times, particularly looking back at what I've said, I tend to feel a bit like some cartoon rendering of a sage. And the only reason I don't delete it again is because I believe in what I say, though it still doesn't make me feel any less like some sort of Master Oogway. So thank you!
Ok, that is TOO FUNNY because I literally just watched Kung Fu Panda last night! Awesome!
The secret ingredient is there is no secret ingredient. That one hit home for me.
Nice one! The piece of wisdom I thought was golden is the gift:
Yesterday's history. Tomorrow's a mystery. But today is a gift, and that's why they call it the present.
Yeah, that is a great one too. Lots of wisdom droplets in that movie.
