...and just to respond to a recent query, no, I am not dead yet.
I will admit to neglecting this blog for well over a year now.
I think it may be time to reinvigorate things, yet again. Things are so much better now. When I tell you that you need to give the body and the mind time to heal after significant trauma, believe me.
My physical being is so much better.
My intellectual being, and my emotional being are back on track.
That which is my creative being is well on its way to finding the balance point again.
And all the crap at work that arose from my stroke and the mediocrity the business was being infused with has begun to change for the better.
Things change. Just give it all some time. Recognize the slow evolution of change, and the new normal. New normal may simply be a re balancing of the old that's taking a bit of time you consider a waste of time. I've said it before; don't rush it. Work at it, but be patient with yourself. It is all changing and getting to the point where you will be comfortable with yourself and with your world. Its all about transitioning. So much of the changes, and the re balancing is hard to see up close. Get someone with some distance to take a look for you and advise you.
I may just transcribe my handwritten journals to help illustrate the point.
Everything we see and try to understand is viewed through filters that we have each developed over time for the different scenarios and situations we find ourselves in. As we swap out our perception filters, based on our ever-changing situation and circumstance, the filters themselves become distorted through the almost constant handling. It is these marred filters which determine our view of the world... Cancer and Stroke contribute significantly to the distortion.
