So I joined LinkedIn. What that means is I go through the listings , the profiles of people, comparing my life to other people I have known in my life .
This is toxic for me. Not that I will drink or use, but that I will somehow decide that by not playing The Comparison Game, I am admitting I am a failure.
So now I am watching the Sacred Liturgy from Ekaterinberg. The priests, deacons and choristers are praying and chanting, as they have done for centuries. They remain. Stalin is gone. Brezhnev is gone.
Dispatches From Dystopia 
makes me think i should close my Linkin account. i am not looking or seeking a job.
And those people are not important to me.
Good idea to focus elsewhere
Maybe I should also.
I had to do the same thing. When I stopped working back in 2013 much of my self image went with it. I had to mentally reshape who I am and how I value myself. The comparison game is never fun. ♥
Right now, there is absolutely no need for any self-promotion, a relief beyond all measure.
Indeed. Every once in a while I need to remembe what I did and what I acchieved. Most days, I’m content with the life I have. 😉 You swimming today??
I don’t know. Been feeling off, allergies, I think. My sleep schedule is completely out of phase. I’m still in bed and it is 1:30 here.
I’ve this great lump of sadness inside of me that doesn’t want to leave. Thanks very much for asking about the swimming.
