One of my Facebook friends wrote about tomorrow is never happening. I thought it was a pretty deep thought.
I used to meditate on being here now. I got so irritated because I kept thinking that now had just gone and I was not here now. I now meditate using beads and use it like a rosary. Each bead is a prayer for patience, contentment, serenity, peace, peace on Earth, peace in Ukraine, peace of mind. I then pray for each of my friends' health and serenity, then i pray for their dogs' health and happiness.
I have been diagnosed with critical anemia. I have had a blood transfusion and now have to have another colonoscopy (the one true dread of people over 50). I am tired of being tired.
In my younger days I was almost hyperactive. I had such energy that I think I scared some folks. I would get up each morning and make a list of things I wished to accomplish. At the end of the day I had checked everything off and then some. I guess at 71 I should be able to relax and accept my fatigue, but in my mind I still wish I could accomplish things. Any things...just accomplish something. Most days I accomplish making my bed, washing up, brushing my teeth and changing clothes. And then there are other days when I stay in my gown and don't make the bed because I remain in it.
My main accomplishment these days is reading a good book. Or just reading a book. I haven't read too many good books lately. I am on a couple of book club sites to get ideas for good books. If anyone has read a really good book, please let me know about it.
As for now, I remain being here now.
