Saturday, November 14, 202011PM CSTIn my house looking out the windowObservation: The wind is blowing hard today. I usually go for a walk but decided to take the day off due to the wind. I do see leaves blowing, and the sun has busted out. I see my neighbor houses and no-one is out this morning. The street looks empty around the neighborhood this morning. Im looking at my new neighbor's door which they painted green and I see they got their Christmas wreath hanging. I also see my neighbor's flags flying in the air with the fierce wind. I do see some of my neighbors cars in the driveway which I will never understand when you have a garage. There are a few cars coming and going down the neighborhood. Deeper Dive: I feel like ok today. I feel rested due to sleeping a littler later today since I didn’t have to work. I plan not to work today for my second job with charting but when I do I feel like something is missing because I am doing something all the time. I do feel happy and its another blessed day. It’s peaceful in my house right now. There is no hustle and bustle. I am by myself and I love to get some me time every now and then. I am not that person that needs someone around me all the time but still like company when it happens Dialogue: The object I am looking at is my neighbors green door. It is an eye catcher since the rest of the houses like mine the door is plain color. I guess I am paying attention to it because its bright and gives like a good or happy feeling. It seems inviting and different. I like how they took a bold approach to their door and makes me want to try something new on my house. I am a person who is not always a risk taker and like being comfortable but its good to get out and try something different. I feel like I have an old fashioned mind sometimes. I don’t know that is because my grandparents raised me or the motto if its not broke don’t fix it. Anyway, change can be good and I need to keep an open mind about things. Friday, November 13, 2020Noon CSTIn Car (VA Parking Lot)Observation: Its a nice day out and I needed a break from work. I am covering for 2 people day and thought this would be a good time to write in my journal. It's not too cold out and it's warm in my car. As I am taking this break I am looking at the few cars in the park lot due to covid-19. I do see cars coming and going probably people going on their lunch break. I can see a couple of K&I employees outside of the building taking a smoke break. I also see trees in the distance over at K&I and also some plants that they just planted new at the VA. Deeper Dive I feel like my mind is still racing due to the work that is waiting for me when I go back but trying to enjoy the quietness in my car. I have a long day today and a lot to cover due to my coworker being out. Despite all of the work I have to do today I am still happy because I enjoy what I do which makes a huge difference to me and so blessed to still have a job. There are so many things going on in this world since covid but I am still feeling grateful and thankful despite my busy day. Dialogue:
The object I am looking at is the new trees that were planted at the VA. I am thinking about as my grandmother use to say lords willing how I will see those trees grow if I am still here working at the VA. I want to retire here and so I hope so that not only I will grow older and healthy but so will the trees. Not that I am trying to rush time but hoping I will sustain in my profession and health and I can say I remember when they planted those trees. :) Thursday, November 12, 202010am CSTBack Deck sipping some coffeeObservation: I took the day off in which I can’t believe. Sitting on my deck back drinking coffee. Listening to the birds and looking at the sunshine busting through the clouds and feeing at rest after my walk this morning. Mason has come out of his dog house to see what I am doing and probably saying what are you doing out here so early. Lol. I have a sweatshirt on and the coffee is keeping me warm. I see the other houses in the distance from my deck. Everyone must be working. This must be how retirement feels sometimes, peaceful and quietness. Some trees are poking over the houses in the distance. Deeper Dive I feel at rest and calm today. I don’t feel like I have to get a million things done but I do feel like something is missing. I believe it's that my mind and body can’t believe I am not working and I feel like I have to be doing something constantly. It is a strange feeling. I am happy and in a good mood with a smile on my face as I look around. Its quiet out here and I like it. Sometimes I get somewhat unease when it is too quiet but today its nice and just enjoying the moment. Dialogue
The object I am paying close attention to are the other houses I see in the distance and for no reason in particular. I guess I’m just thinking it takes many houses of different shapes and sizes to make a neighborhood. I don’t wonder whats going on in other people houses or what others are doing today in those houses but just looking and I guess absorbing the moment. I hardly get times like this because I do live a busy life with 2 jobs. Well enough talking about that back in the moment again of thinking about nothing, looking around at everything and just being. :) |
