I enjoy my one-a-day(late evening) posts to the instything, and I also enjoy the looking through the posts of those I have chosen to follow. I have kept the numbers low. It would be far too easy to get lost down the warren of interesting threads. I liken the use of IG to that thing of going to the pub (not that I have done that for years, or ever did to any great extent either!); where blogging is the home base, then a little light refreshment in an outside establishment for inspiration and some interesting but ultimately fleeting connections, and then it's back home again.
That said, there are some very worthy connections therein. Notably, those who are already blogpals. But also my spiritual home, Chinmaya Mission. Today's food for thought was one I needed to read last week. I would readily admit that my poise has been slipping rather badly of late. The physical, mental and emotional weight has been skewing me off my internal path and I need to correct that. Half the battle of improving things is acknowledging that need. Then taking the actions required to build up what has been lacking. Self-care. A work in progress...
YAM I'm so happy to read you are taking car of you...physical mentally and spiritually
ReplyDeleteMany hugs

i looked up poise, because when i hear that word, i think of rich folk and their snooty ways, just something i was brought up on. but the definition says also balance, or equilibrium and that makes sense. we lose the balance in our lives, what keeps us going on our path, we fall off it.. so true, we have to KNOW we are off balance, hope your time in the hutch will allow you to regain your poise.
ReplyDeleteWe like Instagram for the quick post, and enjoy the likes and comments. Like you, our numbers are kept low too. Good to hear you are looking to take care of Yam. Enjoy that time with YOU.
ReplyDeleteYam, your lovely logo (for want of the proper word) closely resembles my state, Ohio.
ReplyDeleteI truly have never seen you without poise. I see it as returning to equilibrium.
It seem during this time of virus some paths are a little rougher then usual. Hope your safe and coffee is on
