    Double wow Anita! Fascinating!
    I’ve had some really dirty factory jobs where I’d go home and have to use the hose before I entered the house. Hard in winter!

    And maybe it would be odd to extroverts, but to be frank there are a lot of things extroverts do that I just don’t fully get either.

    I haven’t had a loss like yours but that doesn’t mean I don’t feel some sadness for you. Perhaps these kinds of experiences make us more compassionate to others that experience the same loss. And we can always use more compassion in the world.
    Patience? Don’t expect to come out of it quickly?
    Anyway, hoping you can reconnect to life in the not too distant future.
    Good luck Jessa

    Sometimes I’m controlled by a part of me who follows “should” protocol.(Pious Pete)
    I should see the good in this person.
    I should like them.
    But I guess people can pick up pretty quickly whether you really like them or not.
    If they look like a lone wolf or rejected by others, I make a special effort to be kind to them. This comes from a sincere part of me because I feel like a lone wolf myself. I’m not being patronising then and in fact I often connect well with lone wolves. They have the courage to stand alone and not play politics in order to survive. That’s something I’d like to think that I do too. With higher self-esteem, I can do it more often.

    Time is precious but we don’t realise it until it is too late.
    I can remember being bored in class as a kid sometimes or on long summer holidays. I didn’t realise they were golden years at the time, so precious.
    When we get bored, we think we are stuck in some kind of time warp that will last forever. We don’t realise that in the scheme of things, it is just a microsecond, a flash in the pan, when compared to our whole life, or indeed universal time.
    I’m 57 now. I know the next 13 years will fly and suddenly I’m 70. Then 80 and 85 and facing death. To think that I would waste any of that time being bored or stuck in some petty grievance in my head about some one else, is pathetic. Buddhism is to truly wake up. Wake up from our limited mind. Wake up to universal time.

    the only song I like is “Nothing Else Matters” by…???? that famous heavy metal band from the US.
    And its a ballad anyway.
