Like the boiling pot on the stove, life has a way of sometimes escaping the boundaries we create for it.
I have been reading a number of pieces written by some very fine authors found on Open Salon and also on Viewshound. What I have found is that many people have remarkable ideas and lives, interesting advice and epiphanies. I could spend hours reading and learning. Somethings I throw out of my head, somethings I treasure and keep, to continue to mull over.
When I was thinking of this month and Thanksgiving, I thought I would write something for every day and have interesting things to share. Turns out I have missed a few days, actually because I was living. I have been cleaning and fixing things long neglected so that I will have a holiday that shines brightly.
During all of this, I have had luncheons and seen movies, grocery shopped, holiday shopped and still read a great deal. That is the hardest thing, the hours that seem to go by when I am reading. My mind is not content to take it all in, it must be analyzed and framed in a context and further measured according to my own thoughts and experiences. There is so much happening in the world these days. My practice is to read several articles on progressive news outlets as well as some mainstream conservative ones. I do not read one source, nor do I watch one source. I am a news junkie to a point.
It seems that my routine has catapulted itself into over drive as the world has whirred the fastest it has in a while and blurred so much that I must painstakingly examine it, or I, the me you know, will be lost.
I also found a very good silver polish so that has been my downfall too. Everything it seems has not been polished in some time, so I must do it now. Why? I don't know, this polish is really great and some of these things might actually get used this year on the holidays.
My husband calls it nesting. He has told the children, tucked away at school, that. He even smilingly and jokingly, asked me if I was pregnant. Ha. At this age and in this condition, no, not a chance. However to him, this is what it feels like.
Even if I had not found that silver polish, I would have found something to do to prepare for the holidays, it is my nature. So, even if I don't get to some of this, tomorrow will be another day, and I can fill up my extra time with reading. I don't have to write so much right now, I need to read, absorb and apparently polish.
