No real Monday Meditation today.
But I am contemplating the simplicity of my life.
I don't really do much anymore.
I don't have to.
I don't worry about being an influencer -- over anyone.
I don't worry about leaving a legacy.
I don't really care what other people think about me, my thoughts, or my actions.
It's pretty freeing.
I am grateful that I have this privilege of not caring.
I don't have a boss to please.
I don't have to do or say things to manipulate friends or acquaintances.
I've made religion less about what I do and more about who I am so I don't have to wear the "church" mask. I think I've been mostly genuine in my church life, but not caring what church people think is a real gift.
While I don't really go out of my way to be a kind person, I think that I generally am.
Neither do I go out of my way to be an asshole, but fear that I am sometimes that, too.
Mostly I like who I am.
There are times when I don't.
I have some really good people connections -- not a lot of them, but some really good ones.
I have become more sensitive to the energies that people put out and feel that I am somewhat of an empath. I haven't really figured out what to do with that, but it's there.
That energy connection has made me more aware of my relatively few people interactions. I am finding that -- even without trying -- I am influencing people's thoughts and decisions.
I'm not sure how I feel about that.
Today will be a quiet day. Sending this note out into the virtual world will likely be the most people interaction that I will have today.
Sounds like it'll be a perfect day!
