maybe I need an overall correction of perspective

wondering if my perspective is a problem

Whether everything is perspective or not,
I believe everything is perspective.

Greetings you Thinkers,

Today is neighbor Betty's celebration of life. I recently thought about celebration of lifes VS "traditional" funeral services and I have some wonderings about if the newer norm of celebrating VS mourning may be negatively impacting versus the positively intended impact, at least for me.

​recall: the sweetest neighbor you ever had, 4 scoops of ice cream for the dying ​

What's on my mind?

I've been wondering about my "perspective" and if it might be negative. If it might need looked at, corrected, fixed.

The thought: maybe I need rose colored glasses comes in. Probably because the rose colored glasses thing is a Joey thing. I say that he has rose colored glasses, and seeing him as having rose colored glasses has given me a lot to think about ROSE COLORED GLASSES. And thus it feels a reference point now when I am wondering if my perspective is a problem.

Why am I wondering if my perspective needs an overall?, you wonder.

The queen of perspective, is not perspective perfect

Perhaps like Joey has been called rose colored glasses, I have been called "the queen of perspective". It's also been said my super power is perspective.

I think these things said are meant to mean I am good at perspective.

What does being good at perspective mean?, you might now should be wondering. That would be worth defining. Recall my interest and obsession with defining and qualifying words we use and things we say.

I think it was first at the beach, this occurred to me. In MPs I wrote ~ "thinking my perspective might need some work. Have I been "negative", focused on the wrong or bad (side) of things?" Things I'm circulating in my head, repeating offenders: "Why won't the social media girl ever share my stuff", "sells are low" , "didn't get anything done" , "not organized or efficient enough" , "not happy with the Daily Email", etc, etc. Do you see a theme?

If these are some of the frequent flyers in my head, what is this doing to my life?
If perspective is life, ... what is this doing to my life?

If everything is perspective, and your perspective is a problem...

Whether everything is perspective or not, I believe everything is perspective.

And right now I'm wondering if I might have a perspective issue, when otherwise I typically think of myself as having pretty good perspective and being good at perspective. Having this potential issue, isn't feeling like I have become bad at perspective but I am wondering if I have a kink in an AREA OF PERSPECTIVE.

While on the pot, my morning pee, I thought: maybe I need to do a Challenge.

Maybe Kym needs a Kymology Challenge.

How long has it been since I've done my own thing?

A challenge always "fixes" something.

thoughts this morning, before getting ready to leave for the first thing of the day - Betty's celebration of life. I'll be including some good old fashioned grieving.

What does this have to do with you today?

Another not an end of day email! clapping for myself

​All the emails in a list ​

standouts / other thoughts

I have been feeling like the emails haven't been great,
while also not feeling sure about what makes the emails good in the first place.

I have come back from "vacation" on other people's eyes.

word of the day

perspective: a particular way of seeing, understanding, or interpreting something. CHANGEABLE

"Originally, perspective was strongly connected to optics and visual representation—how objects appear depending on where the observer stands. In art, perspective creates depth by accounting for the fact that the same object appears different depending on distance and position.

That physical meaning gives the philosophical one its power:

The thing may remain unchanged while the view of it changes.

quote(s) to consider

The thing may remain unchanged while the view of it changes.

Move three feet and look again.

Perspective.

Energy to you.

defining and qualifying are usually why words end up on this list.

Sunrises are Mom. Sunsets are Dad.

true crime podcasts affect my outlook on life

Mismatched shoes is a me thing; it is not a mistake I walked out the door with.

Watching a dog run on the beach is one of the purest sights of happiness I know.

I was not a whiskey drinker. I don't know when I become a whiskey drinker. I have hated whiskey and all dark liquor all my life. Now I drink old fashioneds. Who have I become?

You will often find me "wrapping my head around that good thought"

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.
