Eileen QuigleyWhat looked like 2 people walking side-by-side on the beach this morning may have been only 1 person. When I edited out the “noise” the second person faded away. Made me ponder how nice it would be to have a loved one who’s passed on before us, walking by our side, keeping silent watch over us. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/beach" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#beach</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/musings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#musings</a>

Will 🏳️‍🌈I try to live my life very zen and to always try to offer love, light, and happiness to the world and to people around me.But it is hard, darn hard, when driving, particularly for me in central and northern Colorado. On nearly every trip, I experience many people who assert what I can only assume they think is their g*d given right to travel & camp in any traffic lane and at the speed *they* think *we* should be accustomed to (usually 5-25 miles per hour under the speed limit). (This is also a nod to the movie First Wives Club). This is despite the posted speed limit, frequent signage along the roads saying for slow drivers to keep right, and a posted state law that you must keep right except to pass.It's bad enough when it is a private citizen. But it's quite another for commercial drivers including semi trucks. These are professional drivers here!I get, and celebrate, personal choice. But listen, there is a ripple effect here, and choices like the above can adversely affect road capacity and even invoke road rage for miles or even city-wide!I'm so glad I won't be driving much longer. Bring on the zen!!! 🎉 PS This just happened repeatedly on today's trip. I coped by scripting this post in my head, refining it as I went until I could get home and share with my dear Fediversians.Am I a grumpy old man yelling at clouds? 😉 <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Musings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Musings</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/BeingZen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BeingZen</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/PersonalChoice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PersonalChoice</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/RoadSpeeds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RoadSpeeds</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Colorado" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Colorado</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/YellingAtClouds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#YellingAtClouds</a>

Will 🏳️‍🌈Am I alone in being confused when a doctor's office says you must cancel 24 business hours before an appt to avoid a fee?I think they mean that, if the appt is at 8am Tuesday, you have to cancel by 8am Monday. But if you assume that a business is open 8 hours a day, and you read it literally, then they are actually saying you have to cancel 3 days in advance. 🤷‍♀️ <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Musings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Musings</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/UnintendedConsequences" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UnintendedConsequences</a>

Canvases By PeterI reckon one night while we were all asleep a black hole came along & sucked the Sol System into the Bizzaro Universe where AlternativeFacts rule, it's the only thing that makes sense with everything that's happening in the world & explains why the complete opposite of Common Sense is gaining such traction in the world, 'Planet dying? Dismantle EPA!', 'Israel attacked another country? Attack the victims!', 'People dying and need Aid?

Octavia Con Amore :pink_moon_and_stars: Succubard's LibraryI've been envious of people who can shit-post off the cuff and be funny :bugcat_nod: it's a skill and maybe even attitude I just never seem to have cultivated, and with popularity and reach literally being what puts food on my table (and in my cats' bowls), it's been a constant thought that gnaws at me...but...I think I finally understand and have at least some appreciation for the sort of comfy cozy vibe I seem to put off, and wonder how I can cultivate that further :cozy: <a href="https://cutie.city/tags/Musings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Musings</a>

Jason BeetsOne day, right before I woke up, I had a bad dream that a housecat was about of pierce parts of my legs with its claws. When I woke up, I realized those parts of my legs were sore. After I thought about the dream for a bit, I came to the conclusion that having a housecat as your sleep paralysis demon isn't the worst thing in the world.
