Great surprise at the park when S, I and I took Red to the park in the early evening yesterday. A club of knights was breaking up, but I got a chance to chat with a couple of them while the kids my progeny walked the dog for ten minutes. Fun!
Stephan at Deutsch- English session today. Dread. But some smooth discussion after he launched a mini assault and we duked it out verbally. “I resent…. Women don’t… I’m 70 yrs old.. I accept your apology.” “I didn’t apologize. Gurdjieff paid the man who created friction at the Prieury. I like you; you’re an interesting person. I am rude; I work on that.” Not dull.
Mini golf with JG fell through so w are spending pleasant summer morning on the deck. We had a confrontation and conversation re eye contact and joining talk in front of N during a break from her weeding work. N even commented essentially some people weren’t raised right. Probably over the head. We certainly differ in our social expectations I and I. I think I will suggest etiquette lessons to his dad, not that it will do more than offend. But offending never stopped me. Other than social awkwardness, he’s perfect. My concern for that trait is failed opportunities for him in employment and friendships. Now I’ve observed and discussed the situation, I can mention to E then let it go
MF said in webinar yesterday, “ disappointment is not an emotion. It is a situation, probably accompanied by emotions like anger, fear, sadness. But once you see it, Freedom from illusion the results.
Probably 13 or 14 years since I went to SMCC or Willard Beach. So beautiful, I forgot and so close to the whole harbor unlike the Portland side. We talked to a lovely lady and her tiny frail 18 year-old doodle extensively while I walked to the beach. I could not get down on the beach in a longer. The rocks are too treacherous, and the path I remembered was blocked. A very fine evening, all in all
I and I watched a terrific South Korean film til late in the day, “No Choice”. And I mentioned another called “Parasite” to get on demand before he leaves if we can. I learned a lot from people, especially our children.
Thank you. But how awful to make an internet meds and waste countless hours fretting it. Pleasant though to go to Wbk Connect in cool evening shade with I and A and Red. We shared a tasty quesadilla as well as the
A good day yesterday, all in all. I walk into town for lunch at Don’s See throw past him happily talking on his phone I didn’t see it so I don’t care
Pearls before Swine comic strip has been right on target regarding my mood lately: today Wise Ass on the hill Answers Rat’s question, what is the key to contentment? Realizing that you can’t change other people. No, what are you gonna do? Still try to change other people. Not sure why I do this Good advice for me
Monday just as appropriate for me:
Not in a good mood so that might be a good mood to see this person in; woke up after 3 1/2 hours with CPAP and 4:40; nice back rub from A, but feel tired even though back to sleep till 7:30 from about 6:15; no exercise at all; beautiful day. I don’t like being responsible, in charge, denying that I am when I take it on intentionally. Intentional suffering. Always making small plans and anticipating their outcomes.
I read again, hedge knight, book 3. Doctor appointment, nothing new. Goodwill bins visit first time, don’t like them; Gorham trail walk. L visit; I participated so finely all day. Activities felt joyful, hopeful.
Watched tv, first episode of house of dragon, with much enjoyment.
Just took a tick off Red; showed I the process
