Lent - A Different Perspective

It's Lent.  Again.  Last year I gave up Puritan Work Ethic.  I didn't do so good.  I might as well as given up Diet Coke.  It was just that hard.  Being idle for me is like holding my breath.

This year I'm going to try again.  But I'm going to go about it a little differently.  I'm going to try to have a Quiet Mind.  My mind is always talking to me.  It won't let me sleep.  It won't let me do one thing at a time.  It's always chattering away like a hyper monkey.  It's not saying mean things anymore.  Thank God.  It's not barking or roaring. It could be worse.

My week

Sucky blogger

I just realized why I'm a sucky blogger.  I'm ADHD when it comes to interests.  I don't have a single focused cause or hobby.  I'm all over the place.

Some days I'm interested in conspiracy theories, other days it's quilting.  I have enough beads to start a bead store but I'm not making jewelry right now.

Right now, I'm just hanging out and enjoying life.

Things I am sick to death of...

I've been  here over a half of a century. That is plenty of time to just get sick of some things. The older I get the crankier I get.  I may be turning into Maxine.  I'm am sick, I tell you, sick of the following:

Rheumatoid Arthritis commercials that tout some miracle drug.

People who tell me all about their problems but never listen to me.

Fish/Seafood- I don't like fish.  I've never liked fish.  I don't want to taste your fish recipe. I don't care how yummy you think it is.  Yuck.

Dieting - I've lost the same 30 pounds about 10 times.  I'm sick of dieting.  I want to eat ice cream and not feel guilty.

Fresh college graduates who think they are all that and a bag of chips.  I remember feeling that way and then feeling sort of stupid when I found out what I didn't know.

High heels and hose.  Never wearing them again.  Hose seem to have disappeared off the face of the earth.  So now women are supposed to have perfect legs without hose?  No spider veins, all tanned and toned. So women are supposed to wear those 5" heels on their bare foot?  Madness I say, madness.
