My quarantine
I never thought I’d be here. I never thought I would take this job. I never thought I’d leave my family, my partner, a job that I loved but battled with, to come here and one of the most difficult transitions into a new world. My friends and family told me not to take it. But something in my heart told me to come. I can’t describe it. The best way I can try to even remotely describe it is by saying it felt like my heart was smiling when I thought about arriving here. Now I’m in quarantine after two very long flight and this is the view that I presented with. Day 1:

When Life is in Turmoil Remember This We all go through highs and lows in our life. Sometimes it takes the lows for us to decide itís time to focus on some self-improvement.

You can use these tough times as a time to learn. Turmoil just isnít a reason for you to stop living.

Sleepless
Am I really going to write why I can not sleep? Quick answer, why yes I am, lol. Do not worry, I am going to try to keep it as short as possible. Tonight, which is nearing midnight. It will also be after that when I am done writing this story. I have a lot on my mind. One of the things is that I am not where I need to be financially. Another, is that I deeply long for a spouse. Then, there is the fact that I can not sleep, cause I am thinking about all these thoughts. I do not want to rid myself of my thoughts, for then I would be mindless. I simply want them to come back another day. If I could go back in time. One I would mess up my present, but two I would not go into debt for a car. I know that I would be further along as a whole if I was set monetarily. However, maybe that is an outright fallacy. Since we are thinking figuratively, then maybe if I was bolder I would put one foot after another and go get "her." Man, what I would give to have a spring forward right into my dream life. Then again, I would miss real life. I would miss the life long lessons that I have learned in this journey. Like, one, do not do the things you know you're not supposed to. Two, do your homework, three switch the letters around in "depression," and it is, "I pressed on." Now, thirty minutes have passed since I started composing this trek. I am obviously still awake, and am still boring the reader. However, maybe not, it is possible that one is intrigued or finds themselves in the same perdicament as me. Just instead of writing a boring story, one is reading or perhaps listening to. Why does it bother me so much that I can not sleep? I guess it is because these are the types of things that one loses sleep over. If only I had a switch to cut off my thoughts for a while, so that I could get some shut eye. Funny thing is that I have already done what I know to do to fall asleep. Now the only thing to do is finish this entry, and possibly get some well needed rest. I will finish this with some wishful thinking. Hopefully, I will be where I want to be in a year. I am wanting to live in my own place. At least, be doing what I love. With the one I love, would be ideal. The pessimist in me is saying that that will most likely not happen in a year. I mean heck, we thought 2020 was going to be the bomb. Apparently, we were wrong about that one. Hey, I thought this was wishful thinking. Sorry, I am not a glass half full or overflowing kind of guy. If anything the glass is empty, dryer than the desert at the halfway point, haha. Dang, now it is a new day. I have not gotten any sleep yet. What else can I say that would at least get these thoughts out of my head? I do not know the answer to that one. I was hoping to find peace for myself by putting my thoughts into a feature. Well I know this, that I will find peace soon enough so that I can rest. My eyes are actually getting heavy now. I know that I will be able to fall asleep soon enough.

Contemplating Change
By: Tara Banghart Been thinking today, of how amazing it is, how we change year after year, day after day. Some changes are readily apparent. Some occur so slowly that we don’t even realize that they are occurring until one day it just hits us. In some small action, or reaction, or thought we suddenly see them. I reflect on the past year, and try to remember, to feel out the me that was there merely the year before, but I cant. Not clearly. Though I look at this as a good thing. I have known that major changes have been occurring in me these last 5 years or so….. but I did not really comprehend true scope of how much. Changes the likes of which I have not felt since the visions and evolutions I experienced during my illness. When I was called to my path with a clarity and strength I had never known. I have found such joy, such a wholeness and clarity of Spirit, such an expansion of sight and Self. I see my path laid out before me and my purpose is clear. I am striving everyday to fulfill my goals and purpose. And I am enjoying every step if the journey…..

Silence
I had an interesting conversation yesterday about silence. My husband was explaining to me how one of his dear friends seemed to have this problem feeling comfortable when no one was talking. “It was as if she had to speak to fill this ‘empty’ space,” he told me. “So much so, that she seemingly could not stop talking, and if she did, it was only to take a breath so she could continue her story to ‘fill the void.’” My husband likes to talk, but not so incessantly. He generally prefers to communicate at a more spiritual and emotional level, rather than just through using words. This was difficult for him, the having to listen to the constant speaking, and it made him feel uncomfortable.

7 Creative Hobbies That Will Make You Smarter
Here is a list of seven hobbies that make you smarter and why. 1. Play a musical instrument. Playing music helps with creativity, analytical skills, language, math, fine motor skills and more. While these are all great advantages, some people argue that playing team sports might do as many things. What playing musical instruments does that other activities don’t is strengthen the corpus callosum that links the hemispheres of the brain by creating new connections.

Self-Love
You may have been told that you need to love yourself, be kind to yourself, or not beat yourself up so much. Or perhaps you are fed up with constant negative thinking and self-criticism. It is sometimes said that there are only two main emotions; love, and fear. Let us look at some reasons why you should love yourself more, and then I'll give you some ideas as to how.

Facing The Unknown
Isn't it scary to think about how you got to where you are now? Or maybe it's scarier to think about where you could have been if you had taken the shots you didn't? That's why self-reflection takes courage. It's scary to ask yourself the tough questions to determine whether you're happy where you are or if you took some wrong turns.
