Walking

67 degrees. Windy. Not a cloud in the sky.

Holy City springtime.

Nice just walking. Getting toothpaste is a good excuse.

Breathe deeply. Feel the peace. Light supper out with salad for later. Bald peanuts on the way home.

Food Lion is packed, so it’s Dollar Store Crest on the way back.

Picked up around the house today. It needed it. Still needs more; will be good for you this weekend. Need to get dry food for Bill & Ted, which means they’re happy having wet food for now.

Friends want to spend time. Ashley and Kenneth asking when you’re doing Table Rock again. Jimmy and Matt wanting to game more often. Jared wanting to come down and visit home.

Folks are doing well. Dad’s excited to go booking again. Glad they’re wanting to stay active and you can help. Monday dinner might just begin being a thing again. That’d be good.

Job going well. Going to change your hours to 9:30-6 so you can have less traffic, get more done, and be more consistent.

Zoom meeting for work when you get home. You’ll be fine; it’s just listening. Books can wait until Monday, which will be busy but that’s what’s good for you right now.

Might just stop messing w Saturdays. Won’t get as many good reviews and postage will cost more, but it’s fine. We will only get bit if something is expedited, and if that happens, you can FedEx it. Ought to have done that a long time ago.

Passing by a big family eating at Rio’s on the way back. Loud. Happy. Wonderful to see, but glad your small family is quieter.

Getting closer to Him. Want less negativity and stress. There’s just no need for it. It’s pointless. You have support and love from friends and family. Blissfulness in your home. Contentment. Dipped a toe into ChristianMingle just to see and that won’t be a problem if and when you’re ready. Well, when He’s ready for you to.

Easter will be back in the sanctuary after so long. No reason to wait though. YouTube just isn’t the same and James Island just isn’t that far.

Money is tight right now. Savings are gone and you’ll be on low spend mode for months. Inflation alone will be crushing, but you have enough for your base expenses. It’s a mode you’ve been in several times, but it will pass. Another trip to KY might be in the cards. Who knows.

PT wellness guy suggested local healthy delivery meal service he used to take that off your plate. Roughly same cost as groceries. Low cost gym is on the way home, just $10/mo. Might be worth it to get that ship righted. Will try if funds permit.

Finishing off the last of the big bottle of rum you’d bought last time she left and stashed at the office. After that, might just cut out alcohol for a while. You don’t need it, it costs money, and is empty calories.

Old problems are trying to find a way in. Sleeping is back to a problem. Slept so well with her there. Will be fighting being a night owl so long as you’re by yourself. 😂

Contentment is what one must have before they can truly be happy. Some will never allow themselves contentment. Some will fight it every step of the way because they just need that strife in their lives. It’s not something you understand, and don’t need to.

One step at a time. Move with His purpose in your life. The further you get from Him, the colder you feel – and there’s just no reason to feel that way.

None.

Home sweet Casa.
