Running type exercise.
Not now. Trying to do abs
Write every morning.
Meh
Floss teeth.
Ok
Volunteer
Yah sure
Budget.
Getting back on the wagon
Spend time in nature
I’ve gone outside when it’s not cold
Read Book of Mormon daily
Most days
No Facebook until after budgeting is done
Most of the time
This week has been crazy with my children here. Getting ready for Christmas. Celebrating Christmas. Recovering after.
We have had quite a week. LEGO creations. Dolls. Classic video games. Half pound Reeses.
I am confused and troubled by the logic of many people. I understand that humans are emotional creatures, but the only emotions that most people associate with logic are unpleasant emotions. Why can we not say we will default to compassion instead of revenge.
Love, logic. Make them work together. It seems so many people want to be compassionate but have nothing to do with logic. Without logic it is impossible to have true compassion. Like if you give man or woman a fish then that one day they won’t be hungry. If someone teaching someone to fish will mean fewer hungry days maybe that would be a better idea. Sure the person might have days when they are hungry.
I love the social safety nets that have been created. They show a desire to be compassionate. But the safety nets are over used at times. It is confusing what can or should be done at times.

My children left yesterday to go back to their mothers house.
My stepfather went to hospital again and ended up staying the night for observation.
Alergies are kicking my butt.
This world is becoming to crazy to understand stand. So I’ve decided I just need to rest and go with the flow for a time. I may get swept downstream some. When you are tired there is only so much you can do.
In a way I’m reminded of some song lyrics. “Be understanding, help the helpless, but always remain ultimately selfish.” Basically we can’t help anyone if we don’t take care of ourselves.
