Not Today

I can’t say that today was a terrible day. But then I can’t really say it was a great day. Feeling thus, I thought best not to do any brain surgery type of things. It’s not a good day to do any financial or life altering planning either. But it calls for some muttering and stuttering on these pages. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not complaining. I’m taking some positive actions. I have taken some positive actions. What may those be, you might query?

For one thing, I’m not going to worry about the format of the new linking thing for the Ultimate Blog Challenge. It’s not very user friendly and distracting. I’m not trying to build up a business with my blog. It’s a place for me to mutter to make sense of the world and to stay sane. I’m feeling deep sorrow today and just need a place to put it outside of my heart. Sorrow can rot my soul and corrupt my whole being. So I’m saying no thank you. Not today.

I said yes to the library today. It’s a comfy place, full of words. I came home with 2 murder mysteries. They’re good for killing sorrow. I also came home with a yam, some horseradish, tumeric, ginger and curry leaves. They did not come from the library but from SuperStore. I’m on a food adventure. I’ not sinking into a depression.

  1. Gosh Lily, I can’t get over how you and I are so much alike! I had a not so great day, I had a tire go completely flat in 15 seconds, right down to the rim. I lost it in the bank parking lot when an older man come over and changed the tire for me. I was on the brink of having a breakdown, I can’t handle things well anymore, Rich always took care of things like this. But looking forward to a better day tomorrow when Lia has her bake sale for Alzheimer’s fundraiser. You and I will get it together so we can soon do brain surgery. Hugs to you and have a good weekend.

  2. I understand about the sorrow. I’ve been feeling it, too. And I too am not trying to build up a business with my blog. This month, I’m just using the blog for storytelling because I need the distraction. The world is spinning out of control and I can’t seem to catch it.

  3. I’m sorry things are weighing heavily on you, Lily.
    It made me laugh that you pointed out that your groceries didn’t come from the library. Did you make a yummy dinner with them?

  4. I’m wondering what the murder mysteries are – and I returned some books to the book return box in the wee hours of the morning and plan to spend some time reading “The Night We Lost Him” by Laura Dave this afternoon! YES! I love the library… PS from my perspective, considering all your challenges, you’re doing great!
