Having made a comment on my FB page about blogs and FB comments, I had sensible responses about posting. So here goes….
What is going on currently? Well, “retirement” means doubling daily activities and responsibilities with it all resting on one’s personal sense of responsibility instead of on an evil “boss.”
I am preparing for a class on an entirely new subject–or is it an entirely personal or original approach to an old subject? At least, it seems to be a non-recapitulation subject for me. As it is apparently my style, I am “living and experiencing” each sub-category of the subject and all of its fallout daily. It is truly, truly true to “be careful what you ask for.”
Secondly, I am assisting in translating and editing a fascinating piece that I think quite a large group of people will relate to on their eternal (yes, eternal; and this means everybody) search for a re-focussing of their spiritual belief system and approach to “reality.”
Thirdly, I am struggling with an ailing and beloved pet, who has a firm grip on my- as well as others- heart strings.
Fourthly, I am mourning the coming demise of an FB game I thoroughly enjoy to help my brain disengage from spinning wheels on more deep subjects. Will it keep spinning away? Will it stop when the contract with its server expires? Will it successfully be sold to an intelligent and discerning buyer? These are important questions.
Not to speak of coping with the loss of yet another game, Solitaire till Dawn, also used for a spinning wheel disengager, that is not compatible with my new software platform. :-(
The author of this solitaire program has promised that they are working on making it compatible. But no news so far. I believe they live in Australia, so one cannot go knocking on their door.
Fifthly, as a member of a Board of Directors, I am marginally (at least I think it is marginal so far) involved in creating a place for silence and retreat and solitude in a wonderful wooded wilderness.
Sixthly, and certainly not lastly, I try to keep up with family members with loving and non-invasive attention.
My plate is full and overflowing and I am happy with that.
