Good thing all my devices have calendars. The days of the week blend together, and suddenly you notice the month is already half gone. The days roll by, uneventful but really not unpleasant, once you lower your expectations. And we've had 8 months to practice that.
I've been thinking about memory lately. Of course, "losing it" is one of the great fears of old age. You forget what you had for dinner last night, but vivid memories from long ago can be recalled perfectly, right down to taste and smell. The mind becomes a cluttered closet and the big picture gets lost.
Speaking of clutter, many of us went though a cleaning out stage early in the pandemic, but months later the stuff starts to creep back.
Some of it still lingering from the Before Time, like the basket of reusable shopping bags I haul around in the car, even though we can't use them. Why? Now there's bags of nasty plastic in the laundry room I need to take back to the grocery store for recycling.
“Out of clutter, find simplicity. From discord, find harmony. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.”
― Albert Einstein
From the mouth of a genius.
Have a good weekend, dear friends and family.
