Back To Myself

a new day.  the middle of the week.  two more days to go until the winter break for the workshops.  two more days until i have 13 days off.  no pay, but i count them as a vacation anyway.  i'll have enough cash.  without running back and forth to work, expenditures won't be huge.  so, i can live with not being in the midst of the company's madness for a few days.  i'm looking forward to it. 

took a lot to get my 'self' back this time.  i am not really sure why.  i think it's the realization that no one else seems to see much of a problem with the way things exist at the moment.  sleeping minds make every form of bullshit possible and successful.  and it seems, even in 2018 and beyond, that people would rather be led than think, regardless of empirical evidence of the harm that does.  so it leaves a person alone in the world, for the most part. 

but i'm not alone. 

i've got my broth in the crock pot, preparing for greens.  got wings marinating, getting ready for the oven.  our pot-luck at work is tomorrow.  good stuff, to be sure.  i'm going to have the kids by tomorrow, if they stay on course.  good stuff.  i've got people at work i talk to on a daily basis, whose company i'm actually beginning to enjoy.  good stuff. 

there is always a better place in the world if a person allows themselves to see it.

doctor's appointment after work today.  time to shake it all out and warm up the car. 

thank you, Jehovah, for blessing me with a new facet in this life of mine.
