Saturday thoughts

Had a day to myself, thus many errands were run. One key one: adjusting my new glasses. Yes, I've crossed a key benchmark of life: progressive lens. Aka: bifocals. My first round of these and need just a bit of a tweak. Don, and his colleagues at Edmonds Vision Center have always taken exemplary care of me. This time, no exception. Plus, Don is a fellow Android fan, and he recommended a few apps which I'm looking forwards to trying out:

Chrome Desktop
Pushbellet

These look like great productivity tools. Should be fun.

Driving along in Kirkland , home of the modern yuppie, I’m passed by a new Mercedes. Lovely, silver, shiny, new, bling-bling; a part of me loaded with insecurity twinges while I purr along in my Toyota. Why? How come this is a metric of my self-esteem? Am I being unfair to myself, being upset by this train of thought and it’s influence? Consider, please, how much this viewpoint is drilled into us. Look at how often this imagery gets pushed into our faces, and how long that’s been going on. It shouldn’t surprise me, really, that I sometimes feel this way. Though my conscious values oppose this, the lingering thread of this programming has threads into the depths psyche.

Pitfalls of distraction

With great ease, I get sucked into random distractions. This frustrates me no end. Actually, the worst past of the feeling isn't due to the lingering tasks. I end up feeling distracted, fragmented and worn; I hate that sensation. I love the feeling of moving forward, accomplishing goals with a direction and focus. Of course, I adore helping people, especially those I care about. The right balance, oh how I long for thee!

Under sunlit trees Cold air sitting in judgement I still stop and gaze
