I've moved little more than a few feet in any direction these past 2 days off. The thought of leaving the apartment, driving the car, spending money I don't have, on things I don't really need was a no-brainer. The expected bills generated by the recent Dr. appt., blood work and X-rays sent me into semi-hibernation. Those bills will begin to arrive in a week or so and I cannot ignore their presence. They must be paid.
Having no control over the present situation is frustrating, but I can control my reaction. Yes, it is exhausting, but that is what it is. I adapt - and move on. Or not. Stasis.
I set about some cooking: Using ingredients already in the cupboard for meal preparation is the order of the week. There are many options, so I am not concerned for now. Just want to have a bit of fun.
Passing the time in a positive way I've read "The story of Cinerama" - a mind-boggling history of how Cinerama came to be and what happened to destroy the greatest innovation in film making history. Long story short = greed, ignorance, stupidity, lack of foresight. The end. OMG! Talk about Stasis!
And so it goes.
Well... I guess after reading your post, I can say I've been in some kind of stasis for more than... 25 years!!!
ReplyDeleteI live like a monk really, and frankly, I kinda enjoy it! A few books, some music, my bed, I don't need much more!
And yes, keeping our mind on good stuff instead of bad stuff can have a positive effect on our health, and like anything else, it gets easier with practice. ;)
Hugs
