BREAK TIME!

WHO needs a break??

Are you ready for a break? I know I am. There is only so much “bullshit” I can put up with. From the issues of Kbual to the so called COVID and right into our economy of things.

     This whole thing of being fed up, locked down or even locked up, masked over, working in my “shorts” on the computer or wearing a “necktie” or going to work.  I do a double take as I listen to a fellow shopper in the grocery store explain “whatever” only to discover she sounds like Dr. Fauci, and then changes her mind!! What the HELL is this all about?

     I want to give the WORLD the silent treatment and I did. I detached myself from the daily noise of life. I dimmed the lights, shut the door, hauled my TV to the basement and stopped paying for TV…then limited my internet time, shut it off and grabbed a book, as I like to read Westerns.

     Monks and mystics are good at this kind of thing…but…in all of this I have discovered a sense and the power of silence and mastering the art of using that silence to give myself back to ME!!

     You know that, once in a while, you are supposed to turn your phone completely off for “GP”…well I find myself in phone silence for a day or two, pretty awesome actually! I add that to the silence of a TV and it grows on me, I like it very much. Instead of being insane now, I actually found out I have less anger and have more joy in the little things of life.

     I enjoy the flavor of good coffee and fellowship with others. I enjoy talking and listening to others without conflict of “who is right” or “who is wrong”. Many times my conversations are “agree” to “disagree” or the other way around.

     I enjoy watching a spider make a web, I mow my grass with a “push mower”, I wash my car by hand, I eat sunflower seeds while walking, spit the shells on the ground,  

     MOST of all…I call the shots in what I do now, I can walk out the door, sit on the porch, go for a drive, eat a bowl of ice cream or go for coffee…FREEDOM is what I call it!!
