Poster's Block

I have no inspiring thoughts.
I don't expect to inspire anyone, but I do enjoy inspiring myself when I write out my brain glitter.

My face hurts. It feels raw. I'm afraid to look at it again. Either I scrubbed too hard or I'm having a reaction to the pain patch I put on my hand today (Myles' suggestion). I don't like to use other people's medications. I should stick with my gut.

I have a new bed. It's 8:56 pm. I want to go to bed, so I can feel the new mattress and the new white sheets.

I have a new great niece. Dominique Bettencourt. I already love her, but I've only seen a text pic. Her parents are so smart and beautiful. I think she might be a princess.

I want to go to South Jordan. I want to go for walks and talk. I want to drink hot cocoa, then have a cleansed colon.

I have a book in my head. A children's book. I'm writing it. I am! I need to sit in my invisible chair and create a story line. My characters are ready to go.

Something feels "off".

I'm going to be in the San Francisco St. Patrick's Day parade! I'll be the one wearing a green shirt.

I'm going to look at my face now.

Living the present

Living in the present
past experiences are foundations of lessons, repairs, padding, checkpoints
future is hope, implementation, creation, direction, anticipation.

but, what about the now?

Today is both a foundation and a creation.
Today belongs to me right now.
Today is at its best, if I let it.
Today is opportunity.
Today is the crossroad between yesterday and tomorrow.
Today is only 24 hours.... good or bad, it only lasts 24 hours.
So, right now, today? I feel happy, in general.
I feel loose in my direction, but trying to straighten out.
I will be with friends and there will be laughter. That's a good day.
My choices will be simple and uncomplicated. I will remember to be grateful (thank you) that I don't have any lifechanging decisions to make today.

I have my foundation, and it is stable. Thank you.
Life long friends... wow. This defines a huge part of me. Thank you.
Deep love of family. Given and received. Big thank you.

Today.
Today.
Today.

I'm in the middle of my own era.
