A Morning Twist

-

 


Theres a false claim I think perpetuated by one of the presidents. (I think JFK) that the  Chinese character for chaos. also. means opportunity. Its not true.   a lot of literal license was taken there..but its a nice concept that you can find  opportunity in crisis.  One door opens another closes sort of thing,  Im trying to hold on to that especially right now. feeling swept up. im  the moment.  Something dear to me  is closing.  Im not handling it well and  doing my best not to act out at times. ( After all I am a seasoned professional).    


I think sometimes. we. are all  with things so out of the blue they paralyze us and we have to figure out how to get moving again.  Riding the wave out,   Well perhaps this Blog was born out the the crisis thats presented itself in my life  right now.   

So if there's only one  thing to be grateful for the closing of this clinic, it is because this blog was born out of the chaos  the closing has caused for m.  My twist of gratitude this morning

A Rainy Thursday Twist

Lately, I’ve found myself in the deep end of the thought pool, splashing around in reflections like some kind of philosophical dolphin. You know how it is — you reach a certain point in life, and suddenly, everything feels like it’s up for review, as if the universe handed you a cosmic audit checklist. When you're in a situation like mine, there’s this magnetic pull toward introspection. I mean, the idea of reinventing oneself — that shiny, daunting possibility — starts tugging at your mind like an overenthusiastic puppy. And then, of course, comes the million-dollar question: Do I have the courage (and maybe the caffeine) to actually dive into this whole "transformation" thing? Honestly, right now, I’m not entirely sure if I’m ready to jump off that metaphorical cliff into the swirling abyss of the unknown. I kind of like the cozy edge, drinking coffee or sipping  and looking down at the brave souls leaping below. But then, I remember this poster I had on my wall as a te...

A New Years Eve Twist

-
I think the plan was for a Christmas twist.  However; Covid reared its ugly head  in my office and then in my home,  It has been a challenging week.  I guess each holiday season has its own story to tell in our lives.    The stories never follow a Hallmark movie script though,  it I s important to remember that. A quiet New Year's Eve here,  except for the outside fireworks (already at 7 pm)  terrorizing my dog. I am reflecting that this year has been a mixed bag. I had to navigate  many things,  trying to figure out a post retirement presence, navigating workplace in the office triggers and how to continue to challenge myself.  Maybe my Christmas story is that I persevered.   Somehow I honored Christmas, not as I planned but honored it.   Sometimes you have to realize the heroics come in the trying.   2023s time is running out.  2024 is a clean slate for all my intentions.  For me it has always been in...

A Mid Week Twist

At this moment, my life is filled with a multitude of projects and concerns that occupy my thoughts and drive my actions. I have embarked on a journey into the world of self-publishing, a path that excites me despite the uncertainty of the outcome. While I do not harbor the expectation of achieving the level of success experienced by authors like J.K. Rowling, I have always felt a persistent urge to express myself, particularly regarding the profound themes of grief and loss. This interest has propelled me forward, and I find myself evolving and transforming at this stage of my life. It is a reminder that we are all, in essence, ongoing projects, constantly developing and reshaping ourselves. While I appreciate the opportunity to work from home, I cannot help but miss the vibrant energy that characterized my time at the clinic. The hustle and bustle of that environment created an atmosphere filled with activity, which is markedly different from the quieter pace of my current work life....
