D84: Sunday week starters are weirdos


what's in this email:

Greetings Thinkers,

Monday. New week, at least for those who start their weeks on Mondays. Sunday week starters are weirdos.

Almost the end of another month. Time for - "what do you want to remember about March".

I didn't wake up mad about sleeping horribly today.

Yesterday was a busy day. They rarely aren't busy, so what's the point in saying that?

I was wrong about the "don't be mad" guy.

He wasn't startled or offended. He was an outlier to what I had experienced and therefore my assumption about what his reaction would be, was off. It was a great reminder to expect the unexpected.

I said "Don't tell me what to do" and he replied back with the same - "Don't tell me what to do" with a smiley face. I never got a response like that before!

After reading my write about it, he said he took my reply as playful, not anger. And I said it wasn't playful or angry, it was authentic. It was a good exchange and I'm glad I didn't avoid it from the start.

A short today. Maybe short isn't beyond me after all!

Energy to you.

​That list of emails to date is nice​

standouts / other thoughts

a reminder to be "careful" about what you let yourself see?

Is the nature of life, self abandonment?
​
Is not saying what you think, self abandonment?
Is the saying - the nature of love is self abandonment?
Is there a difference between life and love?

word of the day

teetotaling:

the word app said this word meant: choosing not to drink alcohol.

on looking it up in another word app it says:
teetotal (ADJ) - total, complete
total abstinence

teetotalism history: "The term originated in the early 19th century during the temperance movement, which advocated for the reduction or complete elimination of alcohol consumption. The word β€œteetotal” is thought to have come from the practice of signing a pledge to avoid alcohol, with the β€œT” symbolizing total abstinence."

I was wondering where the "tee" part came from...

use it: Maybe I should teetotal. I do flirt with the idea sometimes.

quote to consider

"You can count the grapes in a cluster but not the grapes in wine.
...
A bird with hungry eyes is flying towards you."

~ Rumi

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.
like to exhibit art in a gallery. Show, put on a wall for experience, interoperation, comment, and ultimately USE.

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!

YES YOU CAN SHARE THIS​
Sometimes I get asked ~ "would you mind if I sent this to a friend. I think they should read this." My answer to this is ALWAYS YES. My perspective of my Work is that it is PUBLIC. Sure it might seem like I share personal stuff here sometimes and you're right, I do. And I Exhibit for the REASON OF potential. What it could do for someone, that someone could USE IT. So if you know a someone like that, please always feel free to share, pass it along, copy and paste it over whatever you think I best for what you want to do. Sure I'd prefer you didn't copy my words as your own or monetize this in a way I haven't figured out for myself, but beyond that, this is for the using however you see fit.

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.

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

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
