Well it’s only Nov 9th and I already missed two days! In a row!
Tuesday night I just couldn’t write. My mind was all over the place with election results and as I sat in front of a blank screen, my fingers poised, I knew I couldn’t wrangle my thoughts. Not even to talk about something simple or mundane. I thought on Wednesday I could write something for that day, AND the next.
Then Wednesday I just forgot all together.
I’ve been at the dojo every night either preparing for my test (Monday – Wednesday) or watching my daughter take hers (Thursday). Between that and a cold I have on my vocal cords, I’m done by the end of the day. Falling back last weekend isn’t helping either.
But I aimed for 30 posts in November and I can still do that. I guess it’s time to set reminders!
You are doing well. Be kind to you.
My daughter and granddaughter (almost 13), 2 cats and dog, did orderly prepared evacuation from Butte fire near Paradise and Chico late last evening. They are safe and at my home. No idea if their house will burn or not; it is basically on the fire line, their area a few hours later was mandated to evacuate reports are unclear on situation. They know many people whose homes and communities are destroyed, many many people were trapped and are unaccounted for. They had friends drive through flames uncertain if they were headed to safety or worse fire and win the gamble. My family will be fine no worries! It may not be fun but life is real and life continues and moves forward.
Have your written evacuation/disaster plan in order. Then be kind to yourselves and always remember that lives matter, not material belongings, not artificial schedules.
NOW: Love your families, hold your friends. Enjoy your Thanksgiving and give thanks for the blessings in your lives. BE KIND TO YOURSELVES!!!
