22 days to my birthday

Greetings Thinkers,

Saturday. Weekend. Day before a New Moon.

New Moons are good for beginnings, blank slates, darkness, starting something.

Thank you to those of you who said anything about the Duck - Fancy incident. For saying "you're a good dog mom", for helping me think more about that. I haven't been "beating myself up" about it but it has stayed with me and I don't think that's a bad thing. I also know it's not going to stay with me as significantly as it is now, and I don't know if that's a good thing. The way deaths and near deaths right your perspective, and then fade.

In case you missed the quote from yesterday:
Sometimes the thing that didn't happen changes us as much as the thing that did could have.

There was a moment yesterday where I thought I completely lost my FB and IG. Another one of those technology fails, "LOST EVERYTHING". Another, what could have happened, that didn't happen and the insights that come with imagining the bad case scenarios. And then all the things we don't do to help them, fix them, prevent them once we are acutely aware of the close call...

I will take Duck to work with me today. I will not let what happened and almost happened turn me from being a mom who takes her dog with her. But I do think I have under consciously moved on from leaving him in the car with the AC. I did download the app to do remote start stuff but I think I learned doing that is too much faith in a technology thing and I'm not longer interested in that as an option. Will see.

The movies I watched on the trip are staying with me too:

Fried Green Tomatoes and Steele Magnoilas. How had I never seen them?!I've been carrying my inner Idgie and Weezer vibes! Did I get my first role models in the days before turning 43?! Idgie Threadgoode and I keep calling her Edgie, writing it with an E, and Ouiser Boudreaux - what a name!

They both wore overalls, can you believe it?! and Edgie wore a gold watch chain necklace, kinda like the one I've been hunting for, for years now!

what does the have to do with you today?

What am I doing with the rest of my 41st year?
22 days to my birth day.

​All the emails in a list ​

standouts / other thoughts

learn your lessons

Iterations of interpretation

note to self: remember this: And now I see how children and animals die in cars in the heat. How the owners of those vehicles, animals, and children may NOT always be total oblivious idiots and terrible humans. Unless I am a total idiot and terrible human, because I almost did it.

Now I know how it can happen and it's not just because you're a fucking UNTHINKING idiot.

Things you could know about me:

order: newest adds at the top, older things at the bottom

vague. I don't like vague. don't be vague with me, I won't be vague with you. at least not on purpose.

defines WEIGHT as: the quality of the quantity of matter you are carrying

I like to antagonize common sayings and typical perspectives

Everything is a choice and authenticity is supreme.

Reflecting on my life whether it's looking back at the last month or doing a "this time last year" thing, shorter or longer time frames, doing this at all is a reflection of who I am. That I care to consider who I am, who I have been, what I have done, so that I may use all of that to inform what I do and who I am in the present and the future. That I reflect is a reflection of who I am.

running with turtles

I know, I'm a horror to say anything to some times..

when all my identities are umbrellas

I love a good double negative!

Plan in quotes because I'm so averse to "plans" and "goals".

I chunk out my days, to the minute, in Gcal.

I love to putter so if it becomes "I puttered my life away" so be it.

I'm not a cherry picker, of anything. I like to use things that exist rather than start from new or scratch.

I am an ostrich about politics, news, current events, pop culture and media.

I dislike clichés and most positive quotes, under thought things meant well, commonly said quotes and phrases.

Don't tell me what to do, don't ask me "how how are you?" or say "I'm sorry for your loss" unless you want to annoy me or you really, really mean it. And know it can be hard to tell which it is, and I'm wrong not infrequently.

30 Day Challenges are my thing. I have a tendency to make things every day things. This is where 30 Day Challenges come from!

Like yourself. Know yourself. Express that self.
Think about things. Don't feel like you have to dance in the rain to have a good life.
Don't have a plan. Stand for what matters. Read when you want to. Don't smile when people tell you to.
Don't have goal. Tend plants. Leave marks. Do what you say. Change YOUR world. And your mind!
Be a friend and a daughter and a partner and a sister and a dog mom.
In a world full of "accept who you are" messages, don't forget to be a "work on that" kind of person.
Don't put kindness above truth. Try new things. Be honest. Live by ideals. Have some whimsy.
What you do for money matters; strive to like what you do for money. (job)
If you have a hobby you need a life.
Use what attracts you and let what you care about matter!

Peepers are my favorite sound.

Triangles are my favorite shape.

54 is my number.

I never need to talk but thank you for offering to listen.

If you say I'm overthinking it, I'll probably say you are underthinkig it.

why I do what I do: I want to "make you" THINK. I don't mind if your experience and perception of me "makes you" be more mindful, use your brain more, "think too much" or consider something more carefully, or differently, or moves you to be (more) thoughtful or intentional or authentic.

I am a hugger and I mean my hugs.

I don't like to have scheduled things. The days where I have something scheduled are a certain category of feeling. I'm not very fond of pre sign ups, committing to things in advance externally. My favorite days are the ones I call "blank slate days". Nothing scheduled, nothing formally EXTERNALLY committed (I am full of internal commitment and ideas all the time, so no day is truly uncommitted).

use the moons

I love rules and I am a ruler follower.

I like a cup to fill.

So which is it Kym. Do you like wide open clean slate no commitment things?
Or you "need" want and thrive in containers, defined spaces, rules and limits?

Geez what a walking contradiction. A biggest when to which Witch!?

SOC life - what you allow in, turns into what you spend your time on. Can you see it?

Tomb raider hot is my favorite kind of girl hot, my favorite hot to be.
