RESURFACING a write from this time last year - what it was like to "lose everything"

Greetings Thinkers,

Sunday, still weekend. Is it the beginning of the week or the last day of the week?

Still drinking coffee that isn't great because I haven't fixed the no heavy cream onsite issue.

I went “this time last year” looking

On not having anything readily coming to me to write about here today, I did what I do and I went "this time last year looking" and I found this article - on Losing Everything ​

That time I lost every password I ever had to every account I ever made.

and somehow that went with

Losing my Dad’s storage unit

Some of the things from that article, to assist you in knowing if you want to click and read.

First there are butterflies, then there are bricks and trucks.
If you don’t get the message when it comes lightly, it will come harder.

If you don’t clear your own house, your house will be cleared for you,

Today some tech support gal gave me a copy and paste “I’m sorry for your loss” about my losing 20 years of my life, in one fell swoop. Someone hit some key somewhere that was connected to a chunk of my life.

What I do to make an unpalatable things, a little less unpalatable.

I also added a section to the end:

1 year later, how it’s going after losing everything

​Losing Everything \

I found it a good read.

word of the day

exiguous: very small in amount

use it: What do I have an exiguous amount of?

quote to consider

Rumi said" "As you start to walk on the way, the way appears."

Does that mean: Clarity doesn't come before action. It comes from action.

the way we think we need to "be clear" before we start.. and that's backwards...

START UNCLEALRY

Energy to you.

You tell you.

SOC = Stream Of Consciousness

When to Which / When is it Which: a Kymology philosophy that every single thing has its equal and opposite true and good side. Every single thing is literal here.

Exhibit. When I say the word Exhibit it's my way of saying a post or a share. I exhibit my life by posts and publishings on social media and blog spaces. These are my Exhibits.
My life is my work, my work is my life. I Exhibit my work.

A Year of Inspiring, The Kymology Daily - what it is: daily emails about whatever I'm thinking about and writing out. Not quietly. Not maybe. Not sometimes. Not irregularly. Not in silence until it's done. Daily. A Year of Inspiration, the Kymology Daily Email is for and about getting my stuff written out and down. Catalogged and Exhibited. And practicing. Practicing regular exhibiting, and writing, writing, writing.

"It's been awhile since I've been called inspiring." Then be inspiring again.

Don't break commitments you make to yourself.

You never say "you're human" to a huge success.

Coordinating to get the thing done, is not not doing the thing.

How you arrange your details matters.

A list of words to remember and use "more":

• polymath
• sundries
• short shrift
• gimassive
• apricity
• remonstrate- to argue against something to change it, to present and urge reasons in opposition, expostulate

Everyone's nothing is different.
Everyone's everything is different too.

is it worth it, is it worth it, is it worth it - saying this to everything!

Things you could know about me:

I'm not a cherry picker of anything. I like to use things that exist rather than start from new or scratch. I am typically an ostrich about politics, news, current events, pop culture and media. I dislike under thought things like cliches and commonly said quotes and phrases. Don't tell me what to do, or say "how how are you?" or "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.

I have a tendency to make things every day things. This is where 30 Day Challenges come from!
​Challenges as a framework are what my body, mind, and soul gravitate toward. (That's the everydayness thing.)

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 make what you want, matter!

Peepers are my favorite sound.

Triangle is my favorite shape.

54 is my number.

I never need to talk.

why I do what I do:

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. All of these things are reasons why I do what I do and why I am the way I am. I consider these things good things, so if I'm the catalyst for anything like this, so far I think that's a good thing.

I mean my hugs
