a dreary day

My mind sent forth such bleak images yesterday.

Was it images, or my interpretation of images?

Cold, drizzle, windy.....

Like life on Mars.

Once upon a time, I would have spent hours,

 and even days trying to figure out why-

Why some days are bleak,

and yet, the same scene another day would be comforting.

Even reassuring and sought-after.

Now I attribute thoughts like those

to just being hungry, angry, lonely, tired, etc....

Read as: fear - in it's many disguises.

Now I am learning how to quickly recognize them 

for what they are, and turn those thoughts around. 

Because finally after a lifetime, I am starting to see what is projection,

and what is distraction or triangulation, etc...

Then, on the way back home from my assignment,

The same scenes were "rustically beautiful!"

Thanks, I feel much better now!

Interesting...

"Hungry dogs of fear"

Who just happens to be wagging his tail!

Space for lease - time for sale - 

But when you purchase both

We throw the world in for free!

Git Fit!

BBQ'd Gizzards and Livers  - right here!

Cool old signs - 

But here's the interesting part.

When I was feeling so low, I took this picture of myself.

Actual, un-retouched.

Maybe this is what I'll look like in another 50 years?

But when I was coming back - and felt better, 

I took this - and phew! Thank goodness!

I safely survived another time warp.

May your day be filled with

reminders of love -

In whatever shape you are willing 

to accept and recognize without fear!
