Today is just one of those days I just need to walk outside until I realize I can. For many walking outside is a challenge that they can’t easily take. I think about those individuals and come up with this list below.

(1) Some individuals live in literal war zones where walking outside can end up with them never walking again.

(2) Crime can make walking outside a challenge to one’s pocketbook and maybe even life.

(3) Physical injury can make the act of walking outside extremely painful.

(4) Hurricanes and tornadoes can make those steps extremely dangerous.

(5) Prison makes walking outside truly a privilege that one can never take advantage of.

(6) Breathing and lung conditions can make to difficult to take.

(7) Abusive relationships can create fear that blinds someone to take those steps.

In the end my day might appear to be falling apart but at least I can walk outside to find a different path while others are truly stuck.

I’ve left society to start anew. It’s not like I don’t have the means to live above ground I just don’t want to. Though the people I meet down here might be vicious and their world cruel at least I know it’s authentic. Survival of the fittest really exist here but when there is kindness it comes through like sunlight in a tunnel. Some come to escape family problems others because of the “unfair society” but no matter what the cause we survive and follow this one basic rule don’t let anyone from the outside world know we exist. We are “Mole People” and I’ve joined this tribe.

In life we want that “connections” with our warm blooded mammals. The connection could be just a “moment” here or there or last for many a season. Feeling disconnected and isolated can empower one at times yet most of the time makes them feel abandoned instead. Some are lucky enough to find a “life partner” that truly gets them but others find it in their activities, work, faith and/or hobbies. No matter big, small, powerful or weak in the end connections is what truly pulls us together.

This (above) might be the best face wash ever!  Yes, I know it might not be as sanitary as the one you get from the sink but it has more love in the formula.  This one also wakes you up faster then the one below 32 degrees especially when it’s flowing.  You can take a new bottle of H20 but I’ll take the one with the tail at the end instead.

You’re my best friend and I don’t even know Y-O-U directly. For I have revealed more about myself to Y-O-U then anyone else.  You have discovered my good, bad, weird authentic self without judgement for years upon years.  There have been no cancellations or hate just open listening. Your my best friend (well maybe the dogs first) and I haven’t even met Y-O-U.

The line has been crossed and now I’m truly free! A matter of fact that line has been crossed probably a dozen times before but I kept on changing it to keep the peace but now I’m standing firm. I don’t have to be bound by an endless list of rules that change depending on your weather. I’m free to be who I am and either you accept it or not. This doesn’t mean I won’t try to improve as I am a work in progress yet it will be my choice on my terms.  The line has been crossed and this time I hope I’m strong enough to not wash it away.

“Bedroom Poster” by Yellowcard & Good Charlotte is a classic for todays ears. It has the fun Punk Pop vibe that brings us back to many a childhood but still is current enough to bang the ears of today. So, take a break and maybe look and especially listen to that “Bedroom Poster”

*** 1/2

I’m adding something new to my already extensive daily plans. These are things I have done no matter what and hope to add to the inventory. Of course there is only one who tells me when to stop counting.   Here (below) is my current list and here is the extension.

DAILY ON THE DOCKET

1. Daily Prayers including Tefillin Wrapping with days off based on Jewish holidays
2. Writing this blog ditto above
3. Healthy food & exercise
4. Calling family members

EXTENDED STARTING TODAY

1.  Ten Minute downsizing/organizing. I plan to spend ten minutes hopefully more lessening my own left over imprint

TO BE CONTINUED (G-D willing)

Why is there so much emphasize in the bible to the practice above? I think it is not so much the animal as the instinct. For when a person openly gives up something of valve to the G-D they realize who the true owner is. They might be in a possession of such an item for a period of time but G-D is the one who keeps it all going. This occurs whether we are right and especially when we are wrong. Sacrifice isn’t therefore about giving up as releasing who it really belongs to and how grateful we have the time to enjoy it while we are here.
