I must lift my head more.
Once, while working in Burlington, North Carolina, I developed a bad habit getting a 32-ounce Coke for breakfast at McDonald's every morning before work. Maybe one of the worst habits in my life. But it was too hot to get coffee so that became my caffeine to start the day. One morning I looked up and noticed the person working was a cute young woman. It wasn't a reaction of lust but one of aesthetics. Then I didn't lift my head for a while. One morning, I looked up to notice she was six or seven months pregnant.
At the time, I had been overwhelmed by work and no little depression. I was not being present, living in the world around me.
Again, I find myself working on that.
I lifted my head today to notice three weeks of August are gone in the year 2022. August in my 56th year. I will have fewer and few summers to say, "Next year." I don't plan on croaking soon but I realize I have fewer summers rather than endless seasons.
As noted previously, I've stuffed myself with tomatoes and sweet corn and melon. I go to the farmers market every Monday to enjoy the bounty.
Just this last week, I bought a grill because I find few greater joys than cooking out on a beautiful night. (Which can include 20 below nights in January when I pine for a charcoal fix.)
Not only will I grill full-on flesh from various critters, I do some tricks. Grilled salad, cauliflower steaks, cut peaches with brown sugar rubbed in -- a three-course dinner over coals.
And I will manage my time at work.
I recall going to journalism conferences where editors had a bidding war of who worked the most -- a dubious badge of honor. I once heard someone say they worked 100 hours a week. A quick bit of math indicated that was 17 hours a day, seven days a week -- check the math since I'm a journalist.
That's either someone with control issues or a bullshit claim. I support the latter judgment.
This occurred to me as I sat on the deck of Powell's on the Lake with my friend Tom and his young family Sunday. The sun warmed my face and my gin and tonic soothed my gizzard. "This is good," I noted to myself as the kids hurried about playing games.
In addition to the blog, I will start a journal at home, with pen and paper, noting my favorite parts of the day.
Then I will share it with you, my friends.
Peace unto Ukraine and peace and head lifting unto you my brothers and sisters.
I feel so happy when I contacted KENSTAR CYBER SERVICES to fix my credit score. Before I emailed him, I had 401(TransUnion), 582(Experian) and 590(Equifax) credit score. Also, on a debt worth $45,000 on my credit card, 2 hard inquiries. I was wondering how possible it is to raise my credit score within 5 days just as he promised. I was surprised when he kept to his promises by raising my credit score to 824. He also paid off the credit card debts and removed all the negative items on my credit report. I’m now the happiest woman in the world. All thanks to this great service. I recommend them to everyone. Email them on KENSTARCYBERSERVICES@GMAIL.COM

ReplyDeleteMy scores were very low on the 3 credit bureaus, the files contained inquiries, eviction, and medical bills, and i had no real trade lines. I needed capital for a business opportunity i had, therefore I needed to fix my credit and I needed it real quick. I was introduced to gaspertime research for help and what appealed to me was the fact that they were able to do the job firsthand and later get paid after just 20% upfront payment. in a matter of days i got a mail that the issue has been resolved and i could go ahead to confirm, i confirmed and i was really elated at how quick, efficient, and professional they got. i had an earlier dealing with someone in the past and it was nothing to write home about. I was reaped off 3 times by fake credit repair imposters but Luke helped me. They deleted the eviction, inquiries and other bad entries preventing me from being qualified for the loan. for anyone who needs his service contact him at Email: gaspertimeresearch@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteI financed a car that had a nationwide murder warrant attached to the vin and it caused me to get pulled over at gun point 5 times a week for 7 months so I did a voluntary repo about two years ago. I needed to get it removed and Pentiumtechservices@bk.ru came highly recommended and I recommend them for all credit related help.
