The day is nearly at an end. It is quiet. I feel calm. The night falls gently. There is more I could do, if I chose, and nothing so pressing that it is a duty to myself or an obligation to another. So, I take some quiet time for me.

Autumn at twilight.

Tomorrow is mine, too, and a rare treat. ย With my therapist on vacation this week, I’ve got the day without a solid agenda of errands or tasks. I decided to take advantage of the general nature of Thursday being planned around ‘taking care of me’. ย I usually spend the time after my appointment working through ‘homework’, finding balance, study & reflection, observation and awareness – and crying, sometimes there is a lot of crying – so rather than cancel my take care of me time… I am taking the time and taking care of me. ๐Ÿ™‚ ย I’ll be up at the usual early hour and headed to the coast for a day of analog life: walking on the beach, writing, meditating, sketching, talking live and unscripted to actual human beings in their natural environment, and much much more! (Well… not much more at all. A bite of lunch, probably… lol)

Technology will wait. It wasn’t so long ago that once a person walked away from their home, they were no longer ‘connected’. There was life before the digital age. I’m going to live some of that, tomorrow. Eyes open and smiling.

Evening is past. Night has fallen. I am thinking of love, and enjoying this nice gentle place I find myself; a little wistful about how challenging it is lately to share this… ‘place’.

Tomorrow is a new experience. Will I have a chance to inspire someone? Will I be inspired? Will life unfold a wonderful lesson for me? I will tell you about it later, maybe… on a Friday. ๐Ÿ˜€
