Busy as a Bee and Delusional
Unfortunately, I fell last October and hurt my right ankle and knee, developed arthritis in them, and my doc was hesitant to recommend karate or any form of exercise I like including walking.
"You're not 17 anymore, my friend," he said famously. I am so, in my head I'm 17, and I love to do something I enjoy such as karate at Panther Gym. If we're lucky, we all eventually lurch with a 17-year-old mind on our old arthritic feet to the grave. I've suffered from delusions in the past but knowing we're all capable of much more, even past our years of wine and roses, keeps me interested and grounded -- seeking more fulfillment, more adventure, and finally, contentment.
I write books about giant bees or horror anthologies about time machines and the end of the world. Read my Kindle and become motivated. Wonder if I'm crazy to think the world is a giant sandbox for my entertainment. Don't sleep because there aren't enough hours in the day. Work at my home based medical transcription business during the day and write at night.
Does anyone else wonder if the world is here to entertain and educate us, and if we're delusional to think so?

Judi tried to post this comment tonight but was unable to do so. I'll post it here for you, Judi, and will answer as well. How's that for talking to myself?

We're spot on and all tickety boo! Grab the gusto, I say, and to heck with those saying nay. Life is too short to take it ALL seriously, right? I mean, how much of it can we take with us when we go to wherever we're going? Might as well not spend a lot of effort on what won't remain, eh? Live life and enjoy!"
Thanks, Judi, you're right, of course, and this is phase two of what I want to bring up in the next discussion with my psych -- the world is my sandbox -- er -- oyster. Nothing like food metaphors, eh?
ReplyDeleteUmm, I personally don't eat oysters -- or sand either. But it will be interesting to see what the good doctor has to say about this. You have such a positive attitude it's infectious! For someone with your varied and negative past experiences, this is commendable indeed. So I commend you, Kenna, and hope you play hardy and rest deeply and work joyfully and love fiercely in your sandbox.
ReplyDeleteYAAY! My comment was posted without problem!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Judi. This sandbox is fun.
ReplyDeleteNothing negative was said by anyone, professional or friend, about my sandbox philosophy.It's probably time to come in out of the rain, though.
