Night Shift

Hi @Former-Member

It is good to chat with a like-minded person

Yes - I am a believer - definitely - I always have been and often wonder why my mother made me get up early to go to the 8.00am service with I was singing in the choir at the 10.00am service and went to Youth Group on Sunday nights - and then told me I would "Grow out of it" when after all that adolescent exposure I grew into it. I was called "The Churchy One" and this makes me laugh -

I am sure it was having my dd that enforced my commitment to my religion - in all these years it has grown and I also believe that if once you had a strong faith it is still there - being tested - and will return in time

I slept so much of yesterday - I did cook my steak and vegetables - but the globe in the kitchen went out and so I still have the dishes in the sink - yuk - I will have to wash them - maybe it was eating properly that made me sleep so much - but it certainly doesn't do any harm

I am sure there are worse ways of passing your day - you did plenty of chores anyway - but I feel a bit lost after losing a day too - and it happens from time to time - and there are worse things than carrot cake for breakfast -

I have a firm idea that there are days when we just endure it - what ever it is - we are not at our last gasp - just plugging along

And yes - it is good to chat on-line - there seems to always be someone about - and as soon as I have started to post I notice that there is someone about

I hope today is better than yesterday

Hi @Former-Member

I have lived in Melbourne all my life - I have travelled interstate and I like small cities - Canberra, Launceston and Hobart - I have been to Tasmania several times - I have lost count actually - I have relatives there but I have also been to Tasmania without seeing them - they are older now and very tired

I guess I am so much part of Melbourne I just fit in here - Melbourne is a very livable city - people having moved away from Melbourne and returned - I guess we all find our niche - I really enjoy the city - but then - apart from Sydney I have not been to another big city

The weather is something we all yap on about continously - ah - if you don't like the weather just wait for a while - it will be different - and my dd works in high-end retail at a nursery - horticulture - and the clients come in and tell them all about the weather as if they didn't already know because if they - horticulturists - are not in the shop they are in the nursery -

So since then I try and refrain from mentioning the weather except to maybe - the tinker, the tailor, the soldier, the sailer, the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker, the rich man the poor man, the beggar man and the thief - add on the taxi driver, my hair dresser, the doctor - the nurses, anyone who comes to the door, shop-keepers - but otherwise - I keep it all to myself

But yeah - Melbourne - sometimes I think about walking around small cities and how much I see - esp when I get lost which I always do - but not in Melbourne

My wisdom - @Former-Member - actually - my uncle is a retired bishop - and I told him I had prayed for wisdom when I was in my early thirties - and my uncle told me that was very young - but indeed - my life was not satisfying - I needed more intellectual stimulation - and I have gained an education since then - but wisdom - it does need some education but as my maternal line is Irish I think that there is folk-wisdom that we inherit - and is gained with insight - and I have certainly gained insight

And living a life that has been really tough at times - there has to be value in that - I did ask for wisdom and started getting it that day and it hurts - we have to turn our minds over to a higher intelligence - whatever that is - and question things - and life hands the information out right, left and centre.

But thank you - it is good to have feedback - life everyone else I can doubt myself - and being alone most of the time I think a lot - and learn a lot

Life is interesting - and I move from spending days alone - and then being very busy - so there is a lot of contrast - but I find all of it worthwhile

Thanks @utopia

Today is a lot better than yesterday -

Maybe I needed all that sleep - maybe eating a lot of vegetables on Friday and Saturday made me feel better today - after all - I week eating mostly vegetable soup could be worse - but we need some protein and the piece of steak I had was bigger than usual for me and wonderful

So I hope your day is better too

Hi @utopia You were up very early. Did you need a nap today? Nice and sunny here today, I only did one load of washing though.

Hi @Decadian Good to hear that you are having a better day today. As usual I am at home. Have mopped most of the house, now sitting with a coffee.
