Just a little post as I get myself motivated to dress and venture forth to go knit with pals and purchase foodstuffs on a cool ides of March. The little things of life keep us going.The drama has its moment but is soon over. The little chores, sharing with friends, the daily routines balance us and keep us centered on living life. It may not be exciting , explosive or emotionally fraught as the dramatic moments which I admit form us also, but the small things support us when we are in the midst of a drama.
Some people live for the drama and when it is not present they feel unfulfilled. They work to create the drama even though they may not be aware that they are doing this. I wonder how they they can exist with the eternal tension of such a life style. Not for me the life of extreme highs and the extreme lows. Instead I find that the simple things of life are a constant reminder that my happiness comes from simple things.
Therefore I choose carefully what I get involved in and the amount of time and tension it requires is an important point. Personally as I am still teaching five days and some nights during the week, the need for down time away form others is a necessity. I make time for that. I find the need to create spurs me. So I write and knit because my other outlet cooking would not be healthy. People that just accept me and do not fit me into their ides of what I should be are my choice for friends.They do not have to agree with me on all things as sometime dissonance done politely can be eye opening. Neither do I desire the outward signs of being with it. I have a home, clothes,food and am content.
Enough as i have probably confused you and to tell the truth I am not sure how this entry came to me.Do with it what you will. More later.
