Hey Mist, how you doin today my friend

Oh, it's a day like yesterday & tomorrow are days. Trying to not think so much about near everything. I'm human though, ...

ETA: Apologies, not what you asked. I'm feeling a good share of mental &, or emotional pain. Finding it doesn't help to discuss it. Got some Tylenol for the mild physical pain. Simply aches and chilblains of living. Forgive my brevity.

Well as always we are here for you my friend.

Please understand I'm not writing/saying this "with an attitude" or being mean.

First, you're there and not here. I understand your meaning, you're "there" if I need to talk. Still you're "there" and not here. Not much you can actually do not being "here". Not sure there is/would be anything you could/would be able to do anyway.

Second, you're also living your own life, not mine. Wouldn't want you living my life nor me living yours. This is simply being realistic and respective of each person having and living their own lives.

I'm sure you wouldn't want me "telling you" how to live your life. I'm also sure you wouldn't "tell me" how to live mine. Still that tipping point either way is open to being read "into" any discussion in text. I don't want either of us, or anyone else to misread anything.

Third, sometimes a hug is about the only thing which consoles. See the first bit. Human touch has yet to be made digital unfortunately.

Fourth, sometimes we all need to get outside of ourselves.

Fifth, I hate being my own f**king self taught psychologist. *chuckles*

Sixth, love and appreciate y'all being "there". Sometimes though it's better a person can work through stuff for themselves, sometimes only they can. Not meant disparaging of "help", only aware that even alone no one is. And aware that an individual needs room to live, learn, grow.

Seventh, let me repeat the fifth again. Ha! I'm worse than pulling mule teeth.

Eighth, sometimes us wheedle boys need to remember we need naps. :) *chuckles*

Hmm. Nice! You found a Bon song that fits. And 2020 is the year you turned me on to AC/DC.

Wonder Twin gobs of love fall on your head now. :hug::hug:

Yeah? Well try some Kongos too. :)


Kongos - Come With Me Now


Kongos - I Don't Mind


Kongos - Nothing of My Own

They keep albums going double platinum for the first week or two they're released. Fans dub them one of the most under rated bands ever. Come With Me Now reminds me of Papaw John. He used to sing/say something similar walking up the "lane" with me of a morning.

"Oh, come with me now. I'll show you how, ..."

He would show me how to do something, let me go at it. He would return and see I did exactly as he needed/wanted. Then, he would put me to something else. Each morning we added one or two things to the "routine"

"Repeat after me. Repetition is the key. Repetition is the key. Repetition is the key. ..." (Reference to another Kongos song, Repeat After Me)

Eventually the daily routine taught me how to run a small dairy farm inclusive of the intrusions at times. More importantly it was Papaw John what taught me a real important lesson. You do what you do for love, love of living, love of family, love of community.

He also taught you try loving what you do, too. Guess in some way I been struggling with that. Not really been "down" on being a custodian, down as in negative toward, or down as in down with. It's just work to me. I don't really feel anything toward it. Not sure I'm supposed to though.

Doing it for love though. I love my wife and want to help with our goal of having our place. "Sometimes you do what you don't want to get what you do." Not really feeling anything toward "work", well I got no gut compulsion to do it, no want.

Yes, it's "good" work, honest. I don't disrespect it. At the same time I'm also realistic. Yay, after twenty years I might get a key to a cleaning closet as the greatest advancement in it. Really summarizes the value others infer upon you. "Yeah, he's okay. He can at least move dirt."

But it's valued because I can help get to us having our place. Yep, moving dirt will also let me move that money stuff right to our bank account. Ha! I almost feel like I'm cheating folks out of something. Oh well. *chuckles*

Like mama said "Be a simple man. Do something you love and understand." I may not love it exactly but can surely understand it. Don't need to love it because I love my wife, love living, love our place. :) I'll do what I don't care to do to get what I care to have. Not a problem.

Though as I said I was struggling a little. And that's not all of it but a good portion. The rest is about being the better man in life. Guess I got f**ked from birth, won the random lottery. "This f**ker is going get a world o' sh** so he'll always be tried and be the better man." *sighs, grumbles* "Yeah? Well, f**k it."

It could be that you’re burning off a lot of karma from other lifetimes in this one. It’s a hard path, though. Hopefully you’ll break through soon to some “lighter” energy on the physical, here and now.

I’ll check out that band. I do like AC/DC a lot now, so I’m sure I’ll like that band too.

This year has been so hard for everyone. We’ve all gone along with these covid/plague rules about masks, etc thinking it was patriotic and for the greater good. This second lockdown is exposing a lot of “bad actors”, though. (Imho, of course.)

It still freaks me out a bit that we lost Amber this year. And in a mysterious way.

Anyhoo, love you!! You’re still my bro, ya know. :hug::hug:

Nah, it was something I bought on eBay and when those cleaning guys were here, some stuff went missing or was thrown out. I almost lost a jewelry box of nice stuff my hubs bought me over the years, but I called their boss and it magically appeared the next day!!
