Two steps forward, one step back Or sometimes two steps back, one step forward? 🙂 Should I play Diablo 3 again? Or even Diablo Immortal? Game was updated again Thinking about watching Rings of Power series Read about how it portrays Elves Shows the tension between their immortality and dealing with other races My niece told me something important that she wanted kept secret from her mom

Meditated on blessings

Image
I just finished meditating on all the blessings in my life. Both now and in the past. And thought about how much worse things could have been in so many ways. I've actually been so blessed. Now I need to focus on little steps again. I know I keep telling myself that, but I need to take it to heart. There's so much out there for me. So much left to do. Thank you, Lord!

Feel like I should write routinely Still not sure what to write about though Feel like my thoughts are too much in a jumble Saw Facebook post for friend J Saw post about visiting majestic bodies of water Hope he's enjoying his travels Making slow progress on projects Worried about upcoming projects Worried about the unexpected as usual Trying to be positive and focus on good things now Trying to keep a heroic mindset Stuck, stuck, stuck Why do I keep going in circles? Ahhhh, why can't I be left alone? I realize that sometimes the only way I get anything done is to get thrown into it or to throw myself into it in a moment of impulse

Want to be good at things

I want to be good at things. I want to put my effort into trying something and learning to be better. However, I still feel this hesitation for some reason. I've believed this was a hesitation related to realizing that I can never be perfect at something, so part of me feels it useless to even try. Why is that? Over the years I've realized every so often that I just have to let it go. Have to let go of the desire for perfection. Even for thinking that things could ever be perfect in any given area of life, like safety or comfort or anything. Yet even though I realize the obviousness of this, I still find that there is a part of me wishing that it could be otherwise. I do wish for there to be some master plan behind everything. That there is someone in control who knows what they are doing. That life is a story that has a plot and will have a good conclusion.

I'm a fencer!

Well, an interesting surprise occurred. I'm now a fencer! 🙂 It all started with signing up my niece for a local fencing class. She was very interested in joining when we found out from someone that classes were available. Later on, I considered that perhaps I should have joined too since I was going to be taking her anyway and waiting around. However, when I checked, the classes were full. During the 1st session while I was sitting around and watching my niece, a lady started chatting with me. She was apparently a fencing student in another class and had been doing it for two years. She was very friendly and talkative. She asked me why I didn't join my niece, so I told her about how I had thought about it, but the class was full. Well, at the beginning of the 2nd session, the coach asked me if I wanted to hop in and join the class. I was shocked, and the other lady said she had a big mouth. I guess she had talked with the coach and got me into the class. 🙂 Even though I was n...
