The Heat

The heat really gets to me now. I never really cared for extreme heat but now it seems that it takes so much more out of me. The energy that I so desperately want back is coming slowly. I think it may take longer for me to get back to "normal" so I shall wait. In the meantime I am trying not to complain about it. I just seem to need more naps than before. Sleep is a welcome retreat from the rigors of life. But then I have always loved to sleep.
So many people have told me to come back here and write more but it seems like when I do come here that all I end up doing is complaining and I don't want to do that. Life is good and I can't ask for more that I have at this moment. Work is work but it seems like it stresses me less than it used to so that it is a good thing.
I continue to read and try to awaken to my inner and outer life purposes. Sometimes I am pretty good at it and most times I get lost in the ways of the rest of the world where it is easier to complain, whine, moan about all that is going wrong instead of focusing on all that is right. Its very hard to do in the world that we live in. But it can be done. I continue to work toward it.
Things have been going well. It seems that Tom and I are busier than normal this summer - going and going more and more. Maybe having had cancer makes me know that tomorrow may not get here so do what you want to do today instead of waiting. Its really a shame that it took a life-altering event to make me "see the light" but in my case I can be very hard-headed.
It has almost been a year since my father died and I miss him very much. I know that he is in a much better place and having read "A New Earth" I realize too that his energy is still here. I never thought much about the fact that energy doesn't die and any energy that resides in the body will not die when the body dies but will rather move to another place. So I feel that my father's energy is still with me and that makes me feel better.
Anyway, know that I am still around and happy and healthy (to my knowledge) and things are going well. Take it easy, everybody. LIVE now because if you don't when are you going to?
