Perpetual Ruminations

by TJ says, "keep on keeping on!"

Rated: 13+ · Book · Personal · #1921220

My thoughts released; a mind set free

These pages contain my thoughts, from meandering ideas and persuasions to deep cerebrations and serious mentations.

Why, for what purpose? To release my mind and set creativity free. Somewhere inside the constraints of my mind dwells a writer, a poet, an artist who paints with words. In here, I release those constraints and set the artist free.

Perhaps, lost somewhere in the depths of thought, is a story or a poem, waiting to be written.

Cubby is Packing!

I'll have to look into that, it sounds great. Today we finally get to see the sun, and it's also warm, 48°F.

There is some sort of portable light you can use that will give you the rays similar to the sun. My MIL uses one and says it works well for her.

It's tough this time of year, even for people with no objective reason to be depressed; it can only be worse for those with such a reason. And advice that works for extroverts won't always work for us introverts.

And don't talk to anyone from palliative care yet. They're always focused on last days, not next days.

Weather is anyone's guess! Weatherman er people do the best they can i think. Its just their best guess. Here in Texas going to be 80 tomorrow. Next week 60s and 40s. No rhyme or reason.

Try talking to the administrator of the palliative care group about the person you talked to..your best interest is supposed to be their main concern.

I hope things improve for you. I dont like it getting dark early either..it us depressing. I keep my rv very bright inside..it helps.

Take care if yourself and I hope your new year is exactly what you want and need.

Ick, it's always a pain when dark clouds get trapped in your head. It must be scary being alone. Know our thoughts and prayers are with you. And Jeremy's right, I'm sure there are support systems nearby if you can find them. Is there a local church, perhaps?

I can see how isolating this is all can be for you. Have you researched social offerings near you? Perhaps something you're interested in or a hobby. Or a writing group? I'd also suggest maybe looking into local support groups for cancer survivors. They've been in your shoes and can relate better than anyone else. And what better way to beat the doom and gloom then others that have kicked cancer's ass!

Regardless, your friends here will always be available for you. I know it's not the same as visiting in person and bitching about the weather, but I'm certainly willing to try

New Old Photos

I changed my photo to an old one. It's my Husky, Max, and my wife's Australian Shepard, Bellah, when they were still puppies. They are snuggled up by the patio door, where they still enjoy lying and looking out, always on the lookout for squirrels.

The photo above was taken years ago, 2008, I think. We lived in a small town in eastern South Dakota. Hazel was about four blocks from east to west and three blocks from north to south. We lived on the east side of town, the very first (or last) house. One morning, I woke to a heavy fog and took the picture that graces my blog.

The photo of the dogs reminds me how fast time passes and to appreciate each day. The photo of the sunrise behind the railroad tracks in the fog reminds me to focus on the here and now: "We never know what lies ahead."

I hope the new year is good for everyone.
