capturing a zen moment
Aug. 18th, 2023 08:02 am It's pouring on a Friday at 8 am - Central Office had already declared a 'work from home' day in honor of 'a friday in summer,' which I think implies they expect people to take it sort of easy? I can't tell for sure.
I was thinking about driving in anyway because I need to print things and I like my office setup slightly better for Ergonomics, but hey, I'm at least using a desk-like surface at home, with my feet appropriately high up (on a treasure chest my dad woodburned with some lines from Tintern Abbey), with the window open and some spritz coming in. It's dark and cozy in my lil room and I wanted to capture that. Hooray for the Pink Room with Alice's girlyshit. I have a Zoom at 9, I have to physically deliver posters (but, again, kinda after I print some more), and I might want to avoid this current storm.
Also I got my CSA email (I need to pick it up today), and I went to Rotary last night, and you know what? As much as I'm often like 'what am i DOING with my LIFE, how did i get here, why didn't I just STICK with things'. sometimes I feel like I'm the right person at the right time and place, and that it's mutual. heh. SOMETIMES.
And btw, when I feel like WHAT AM I DOING, it's worth noting that people consistently tell me I'm helping & making a difference (and like not in response to fishing for reassurance, although they do that too when I need it). So even though I might feel lost and overwhelmed, two things to remember are that I am Doing Things, andeven Good at Doing Things sometimes,, and also - I have a really cool variety of memories and stories and experiences. If the world operates like The Golden Compass or City of Angels, then I got lots to tell folks Upstairs someday. Dad would be proud.
