“You don’t choose the times you live in, but you do choose who you want to be, and you do choose how you want to think.” – Grace Lee Boggs
Whatever the diminishing state of the world, I’ve done all that I can do to ensure that my family and I are as safe and protected as possible while this COVID pandemic continues to rage. That’s all we can do, and there’s a certain peace of mind that accompanies such knowledge. I’ve been getting back into daily meditation to quiet the increase in worry and anxiety that goes along with increased hours in the office, and increased COVID cases in general – a strange combination that makes me question all sorts of things – but again, there are only so many choices over which I have the ability to exert any control.
Fall is usually the time of the year when I get more serious about things, particularly creative projects, and though I have a couple things brewing, none has spoken to me with any imperative. Usually the universe will nudge me in the right direction, so I’m waiting for those signs, and if none arrive I’m ok with that too. I’ve just discovered the Amazon Prime Video account I’ve had for all these years and ‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’ is all I care about right now.
When the chill of the night starts lingering into the days, I’ll get into crocheting again too. After this blanket took almost four decades to complete I’m anxious to finish more reasonable projects with more human timeframes. And so this lull in the waning days of summer is not something I’m concerned about – it’s all unfolding as it was meant to unfold.
