The past few days have been consumed with worrying, and trying to work out what resources are available and how to access them. I must say, I'm well into "the swing of things" and now that the seemingly hard stuff has been made easy, I can finally relax a bit and start to focus more on improving myself, instead of trying to secure my situation.
The "system" is worked out, things are well in hand.
I'm finding out, as I access community resources, just how many people are in the same boat as me. For many of us on pensions, it really is a struggle to stretch dollars and keep a roof over our heads. But community resources aren't all doom and gloom. I think it's a matter of perspective. People need to be treated with respect. They want to receive kindness as much as they want to show it to others. And all people need to be valued and cared about. No, I choose to refuse to give in to the despair that so desperately works away at us to bring us down. I choose instead to see compassion and kindness in every face, and extract joy from trying to show complete strangers that I understand, and I love.
We really are all connected, and nobody needs to be lonely, or alone.
My friend Robert's project is just blazing along, and we're getting a lot of his archiving via scanning project done daily. Tomorrow we're taking a break, and I am *finally* going to "round off" my routine, by inserting a mandatory gym visit into my daily routine. Now that I'm fully familiarized with the resources available, I've got to do at least some kind of cost / value assessment, and see if the time spent accessing these resources offsets the work I'm missing out on. But I think I can arrive at some logical and sensible balance between the two. Too early yet to tell, but getting my business back up and running, and getting to the gym, absolutely need to happen on a regular basis. Yes, I can do this. I can do many, many things. :D
All Good Things. And thanks be to God for blessings received.
