Pausing To Reflect And Remember
May, I used the month to reflect and remember.
So I came to a realization (for me) years ago.
I stopped thinking of things as “good” or “bad”
It’s subjective
It started with music…
“that’s a good song”
“that’s a bad song”
The song is just that, a song.
I…either liked it, or I didn’t.
My liking it doesn’t make it a good song
My disliking it doesn’t make it a bad song.
It’s probably also tied to my profession.
I just do the best I can.
If you like what I do, great.
If not, that’s ok too.
I’ve begun to apply this to a lot of things in my life.
The things I like, move me, positively.
The things I don’t like also move me, just not positively
That said, it’s been quite an emotional month for me.
Looking back.
Remembering times in the past.
They were good times.
Times I had packed deeply away.
Gatherings with people that have been a part of my life, for almost all of my life.
So, with the emotions so close to the surface this month, mostly good, some less than so, it concludes by watching the endings of a couple of television programs to which I had invested, time, attention and energy.
I loved The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel…
And now, the conclusion of Ted Lasso.
Make me think, I’ll always remember you.
Make me feel, I’ll never forget you.
So many things made me THINK these last 30 days…
I’ll always remember them.
So many more things made me FEEL these last 30 days…
I’ll never forget them.
