So this is a day in my life?

Have you noticed how I have gone off topic many times?
Well, let me explain, I needed a working title for this Blog, and that one sounded good to me.
Don’t you think it is slightly provocative?
Keeps you guessing never knowing what to suspect.
I like that, since in my soul I am still a mystery writer at heart, an unpublished one, but definitely one of those, and of course a rambling idiot too, but hopefully lovable.
In reality I have twisted and turned my mostly opinionated blurbs into a frantic synopsis of all of our lives playing out in this difficult time in our history.

Each day we find more horrors or mundane inconsistencies.
Life is good when it is mundane, huh?
Yes, there is a feeling of comfort from benignly boring in situations.
Surrounding calmness has its rewards in life.
It’s more than an issue of control of conditions around us; much more it’s the knowing of what’s next.
Surety makes one feel euphoric; it works as a natural tranquilizer to our body’s uneasiness.
You ever hear of a child who knows he or she is loved feel extremely confident in the world and become successful in his or her life?
That’s what serenity of ones demeanor can create.
Zen-like is the image that I am going for.

Unfortunately, in order to get anything close to that type of environment you would have to be totally living in your own hard shell covered world, literally.
So, day dreaming of better times is said to be a little like meditating.
Many years ago I took a class in Yoga, which did exactly that, and for two hours a week it was great, I was in touch with my body and its inner workings, metaphorically speaking that is.
To really, know what was going on in my guts I guess that I would have to be some type of doctor or something, which I am not.
Temporary mind trips without the use of drugs to enhance that affect is fun, nothing more than being child-like with using your imagination.
Humming while closing ones eyes is restful then allow your mind to wander, and off you go!
Place yourself in a forest or on a beach with those trees rustling, or with the waves crashing playfully on that beach, breath in and out with each rustle or wave flow.
This small exercise can be done while at lunch at your desk at work if you have a cubby.
People might think you are a trifle off if they can see you doing it.
And please people never, ever try this while driving in your car!
If you are the passenger than by all means go ahead and do it.

With that brilliant commentary (LOL), I will leave you for the night, and good night to all and to all please sleep peacefully.
