@MLClark I hold myself to higher standards than I should, but its more than that. One of the reasons I pursue the disciplines I pursue, and push as hard as I do, is that I want to be here. I want to be present.

These moments we have together are a privilege, and we never know if more are coming. Being able to seize about my routines and disciplines enable me to be more present and aware. They allow me to seize upon these instants and make the most of them.

@MLClark

@MLClark I've been struggling hard this last month, I will admit

Mentally I'm doing ok, but my discipline and routine has wavered among a general feeling of exhaustion

I have been attempting to give myself time, but I'm working at getting back on the bounce and back to normal routines

I know I haven't been online much here. This is one of the places I miss most, but when I burn out hard, I tend to bunker in

I miss this community. Ya'll make me feel not just welcome but celebrated and loved.

My understanding is that Bosmang lives in a state of Epicness.

@ITKV I hope they learn and grow from this beyond their hatred.

So my buddy came home from a trip last night to find that their house was vandalized. Someone trespassed, ripped down their trans pride flag, and drove off.

This is classified as a hate crime by Washington statute. Where we live is considered pretty safe, but these things can happen anywhere.

It's been reported to the police, and an active investigation is underway.

Good morning groovy souls!

I'm kind of on the struggle as I settle in back home. My routines have been off, and my eating bad, but I'm taking the time today to reconsolidate and look forward.

A lot has gone on the last few days.

@Frank2112 "Star Trek was an attempt to say that humanity will reach maturity and wisdom on the day that it begins not just to tolerate, but take a special delight in differences in ideas and differences in life forms."

Wow a few folks have gotten back to me really fast! I went away for meditation, sat down to journal and wow!

You guys are great! Ill be back soon, I'm off to run.

Does anyone out there in Coso land do logo design? I've got a type of logo a friend gifted me years ago that I'd love to jazz up and use for day to day stuff, but I don't know if it would be affordable to do so.

It's not so much a need as a want... so yeah, wanting to talk about budgets and stuff.

@AskTheDevil Thanks Satan ^_^
