I read this and well, I’m not all that mature (I’ll always be between seventeen-twenty seven to me, what a riot I’ll be at seventy, ahahaha) but the rest of this ‘quote’ seemed to apply to the art of living/existing here…(you know, on earth)
And here it is…
To exist is to change
to change is to mature

Oh my, there are so many topics to write about, it’s about deciding which one feels somewhat inspirational to me at the moment I choose to sit and write that matters…
Tonight I scanned the ‘latest headlines’ and you know, hmmm there wasn’t anything about medical ‘breakthroughs’ or scientific discoveries of value to us all, nope, [...]
**Mockingbird, I agree, let’s be more gentle on ourselves while we evolve, good idea. I used to cut others more slack while they’re busy evolving than I did for myself, hahaha, bc I was much harder on me than on anyone else, high expectations and all that garbage, but I learned…I’m all I’ve got, might [...]

Life really is a bowl of cherries : ) and I really am Pollyanna…

Sometimes people hold high expectations for their ordinary lives. Uh yeah, we always want something better (better than what? We’re not sure, but we remain positive we could be doing better).

You know - just for you I was going to bring my laptop and write everyday but I’ve changed my mind and decided to just take the holiday time off in Palm Desert and do fun things like lay in late in bed, I might even be able to talk someone into bringing me coffee [...]

…and many creatures stirred, myself included, and what was I doing?
