Resistance

Wednesday, April 9, 2025

When I find my body feels "punky,"
It spreads, and my mind can get funky.
I move very slow.
My thoughts can get low.
Remind me … I'll get back to spunky!

Where are you feeling resistance?

Do you ever get to spots where
You are aware of actions you could take
To bring yourself into a better frame of mind ...
And you just don't want to bother?

Makes no sense.
Sort of like the saying
"Shooting yourself in the foot.”

Back home in MN.

I heard someone refer to weather as
“Ping Pong weather.”

We were driven home from airport in
Snowstorm.
Next morning, bare ground appeared.
Temps are down and up.

Reminds me of what I learned
When we lived in
Southeast Alaska midst persistent rain.

If you wait for perfect weather,
You may spend life in a "waiting mode.”

Duh ... I know that
And don't really want to hear it.
Can you say "Resistance?"

My daughter NOT resisting the urge to hug an ancient tree


I'm attributing most of this resistance to
The sore-tummy-bad-headache bug
From which I am rapidly recovering.

I have my bike in the garage,
Sunshine to light up the day.
Soon I'll quit using weather 
For an excuse.

I really don't want to 
Live in "waiting mode.”

Sending you wishes for
Activity that brings you smiles,
And a way out of resistance.

Hugs,
Lin
