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.

Peace be with you.
