August Vibes in These Foolish Things

Well hello everyone! I’m coming to you live from a cute little park in my former city!

I have a doctor appointment in less than an hour, so I need to get going, but I did want to get my 100 words out before that appointment.

I got up super duper early this morning, did most of my workout (it was a kind of annoying workout with resistance bands and I just couldn’t get into it because I felt like I had too much to do before leaving at 6am!), finished my packing, got the dog to do her biz, and split!

I wanted to write my entry before I left this morning, but I realized at around 4:30am that I’d packed my laptop neatly and I didn’t want to get it out. Plus, it would have made me even later had I taken the time to think of 100 words, ha!

Martini has decided that she no longer likes long-ish car rides. This was a three-hour drive, and she ended up sitting in my lap most of the time. I know it’s a little dangerous to do that, but she really needed some comforting and knows how to lie in my lap and be still like a good little girl. Poor thing.

We made it here just fine (surprisingly, hardly any traffic!), and I dropped her off at her favorite doggy daycare…and then I went on to the park to work in the great outdoors!

I’ve been thinking about vibrations…you know, the vibrations you emit as a human being? I think about them in terms of whether you give off high vibrations or low vibrations. I know that sounds very simplistic, but I have to think of it that way in order to stay sane.

So… in light of recent times, an example would be politics. It feels to me that the whole idea of politics right now has a very low vibration. Like, everyone is hitting below the belt. And of course, I understand that because sometimes, in order to make a point that your opposing side might understand, you’ve got to take it down there because DOWN THERE is where they live and breathe.

But politics right now feel so much like ugliness and I’m trying to figure out what to do about that to make myself calm down.

Every night in recent history (say all of 2023-2024), I call my dad, the most humble and precious human being I know. To me, his vibrations are the highest of the high. And after I got off the phone with him last night, I cried just thinking about how much it might hurt if and when I don’t have him to talk with anymore.

And I think about how to get and keep my own vibrations on the high side. I know I’m not always there. I know I don’t have to always be there. But doesn’t it feel so much better than vibing low?

Anyway. Just some thoughts.

xo,
GS
