I’ve been working on my website - it’s been neglected far too long. I’ve been wearing out Spotify - I may have listened to every song. I walk five miles a day - because you’ve got to get outside and I can easily spend an hour a day on “Just Dance” exercise. I’ve been taking free on-line courses at “open university” They have a thousand choices - an almost endless diversity. Have you ever heard of “Headspace” - it can help you to relax If you haven’t tried meditation for stress - I think it’s unsurpassed. I’m learning about meal planning and cooking things with ease I’ve been Zooming with a friend in China, to freshen up my Cantonese. Even with a thousand distractions - this lockdown is driving me crazy But it isn’t because I have nothing to do, and it isn’t because I’m lazy. People just need people - so that we can laugh, love and compete, or simply be together - that’s how humans feel complete.

what's up?
When I was young enough to remember my dad told be not to be one an "also ran" It was only when I was older I understood ... She is a swimmer who has been to state I also swam ... She's gotten second place in piano state I also played ... She's the varsity goalie and incredibly athletic I'm also a goalie ... He's our debate team co-head and one of our best I also debate ... She's amazing at writing poetry I also write ... Her squash team got second in the state I also play squash ... She was the lead of the musical I was also in the musical ... I could keep going But I think you get the point ... So what, if I've tried everything do everything know everything? I have to find that one thing I'll be the best at ... ... ... I can't always be an also ran

An "Also Ran"
What kind of non-human: makes a bowl of oatmeal adds chia and flax seeds with a little bit of light brown sugar and eats it for breakfast? What sort of creature: packs a snack lunch and eats it on a bench before going to work?

Alien Habits
the time we spend in doing things we think are necessary with hindsight may appear like idle play wasting a precious part of the allotment we have been given on this earth the problem is we do not know and so we take the risk and muddle on trying to do our best hoping it will not be our worst

doing things
Firstly, sit somewhere, You can never in your life, And it won't matter whether You are a husband or a wife, As a matter of fact you can't Just make a square in air, With your right hand, And A circle on the ground with your toe. That is 'cause your brain, Now just so very humane, Can't follow this paradox, Conflicting activities both. Now position change, Get down on the floor, Yes, on all your four. And you can not breathe in and out, As quickly with your tongue out of your mouth, And your nostrils both not being used.

Two Strange Facts
I never learned to sleep, I enjoyed the night to much. I always have and may always will. It's an addiction to getting more from time. Why sleep when I can catch up on: TV Reading Exercise The moon Learning why, we live. There much more to explain and give. Such as writing poetry. But, sleep is needed and it is good.
