Happy, happy! Joy, joy! The book came, looked great and now it is up to the printer. A maximum of fifteen more days before it is available at amazon.com.
What did I learn in this breif interuption period? Something major. How I am with myself, regardless of what is going on with other people, is extremely important.
It can be easy to get swept up into the feelings and atmosphere of others. I don't know how big time actors and people in the public eye keep themselves centered. It is a fine art. Wanting people to love and respect me had been an issue since I was a small child. "Mommy, mommy, watch this!" "Look at this!" But even as an adult I will often get back in that mode. "Honey, I need a hug."
Yes we are social beings, and none of us lives in a vacuume. I watched a show about this guy who tried to survive in Alaska on his own for three months. It wasn't the whether, lack of food, or physical struggles that got to him. It was the lack of companionship. There are those that can exist a nomadic life but I choose not to, or maybe only in one or two week stints.
We have a vacation home way out in the desert. I mean it is WAY OUT THERE! You have to drive thirty miles away from the closest town and drive down a dirt road to get there. But when you are there the beauty of the 25 acres we have, the beautiful home, and even the guard dog (who wouldn't hurt a flea), brings a sense of relaxation and wellbeing.
I often thought if my financial situation improves drastically, and why not? I am a doctor with unusual training and talents, it would be incredible to build a retreat out in the middle of nowhere for people to simply unwind, connect back into their soul, and rejuvinate.
Happy day, got to fly
