life notes; flaws and all

a daily breath...

A thought du jour, my daily breath includes collected and conceived observations, questions of life, fortune cookie philosophies, reminders, messages of peace and simplicity, unsolicited advice, inspirations, quotes and words that got me thinking. They may get you thinking too . . .

I'm like a pencil;
sometimes sharp,
most days
well-rounded,
other times
dull or
occasionally
broken.
Still I write.

What do you remember
about how it used to be?

Aren’t we often
challenged by memory?

Yesterday is not
what it once was.

I’m going back to work today.
   A new role and new location with the same company, but it is a setting I’ve been absent from for some time.
   It’s been a while since I’ve rubbed shoulders with colleagues, and I know it will be different.
   Everything is different now than it was a few years back.
   We have masks and physical distancing and personal protocols in place that you had to think less about when you were working behind a screen.
   This morning I will be back in an office setting. I will be interacting, face-to-face, with people.
   This will be an integration process.
   Though anxious, I welcome the change; I look forward to some sense of a return to normal.
   But how normal will it feel?
   COVID-19 has changed the way we live, and the way we work.
   I guess today I will see how much…

Everything has a deeper meaning.

 

Remember what is important.
