What it is
I cycled through a plethora of conversations today that made me want to make note of all of them. One was with a friend who was talking about what MacArthur Foundation winners all share in common – 1) travel and 2) realizing when a situation is no longer serving them and reinventing themselves. These seem banal written here, but travel is something that puts you outside of your normal routine and makes you rely more on you than you realize. And reinventing yourself is downright scary but realizing that you will die inside if you don’t get out of what is no longer serving you is worse.
I also spoke with someone about UFOs as we actually thought we saw one – twice – today. Which is interesting because Tin kept saying “you said two times” and I couldn’t figure out what it meant and then later we saw the big orange ball of flames in the sky – twice. Weird.
Disciplining Tin – he needs a strong hand sometimes to get him in line – that is something that is going to require more reading as he is testing us, big time, and he can be spoiled but he can’t be a prima donna – that is something I won’t allow. Even stars need to be humble.
It’s midnight – the last Jazz Fester has gone – I kicked everyone out because I need my sleep and tomorrow is Monday and I need to regroup. We hula hooped, we drank, we ate, we talked, we hugged, we lamented the end of Jazz Fest, we spoke about next year – we’re done. A friend said to change the tee shirt I made several years ago that said, “I don’t know” to “It is what it is.” Amen.
