Perpetual Ruminations

by TJ says, "keep on keeping on!"

Rated: 13+ · Book · Personal · #1921220

My thoughts released; a mind set free

These pages contain my thoughts, from meandering ideas and persuasions to deep cerebrations and serious mentations.

Why, for what purpose? To release my mind and set creativity free. Somewhere inside the constraints of my mind dwells a writer, a poet, an artist who paints with words. In here, I release those constraints and set the artist free.

Perhaps, lost somewhere in the depths of thought, is a story or a poem, waiting to be written.

In response to "Smokin!"

Old joke I vaguely remember from my misspent youth:

Teacher asked the class what they had for breakfast. Johnny says, "I et six eggs."

Teacher "You mean 'ate.'"

Johnny: "Well, maybe it was eight I et."

I didn't say it was a good joke.

I'll have to look into that, it sounds great. Today we finally get to see the sun, and it's also warm, 48°F.

There is some sort of portable light you can use that will give you the rays similar to the sun. My MIL uses one and says it works well for her.

In response to "Palliative Carelessness"

It's tough this time of year, even for people with no objective reason to be depressed; it can only be worse for those with such a reason. And advice that works for extroverts won't always work for us introverts.

And don't talk to anyone from palliative care yet. They're always focused on last days, not next days.

Weather is anyone's guess! Weatherman er people do the best they can i think. Its just their best guess. Here in Texas going to be 80 tomorrow. Next week 60s and 40s. No rhyme or reason.

Try talking to the administrator of the palliative care group about the person you talked to..your best interest is supposed to be their main concern.

I hope things improve for you. I dont like it getting dark early either..it us depressing. I keep my rv very bright inside..it helps.

Take care if yourself and I hope your new year is exactly what you want and need.

Ick, it's always a pain when dark clouds get trapped in your head. It must be scary being alone. Know our thoughts and prayers are with you. And Jeremy's right, I'm sure there are support systems nearby if you can find them. Is there a local church, perhaps?

In response to "Palliative Carelessness"

I can see how isolating this is all can be for you. Have you researched social offerings near you? Perhaps something you're interested in or a hobby. Or a writing group? I'd also suggest maybe looking into local support groups for cancer survivors. They've been in your shoes and can relate better than anyone else. And what better way to beat the doom and gloom then others that have kicked cancer's ass!

Regardless, your friends here will always be available for you. I know it's not the same as visiting in person and bitching about the weather, but I'm certainly willing to try

Money For Nothing

I posted a question in the Newsfeed earlier about ways to make a few bucks online. I looked into one (the only) response and gave it a try. I earned about two and a half bucks! Of course, I didn't spend much time there today, but hopefully I can set a bit of time aside most days to go in and do my thing. I think it's going to help out, but I doubt I'll get rich anytime soon.

The way things are tight now, every little bit helps, and I'm grateful for the reply. If anyone else has any ideas, I'm always eager to listen.
