Jim's cafe Tuesday 29th September

[may71]

I woke up about an hour ago and the strangest thing occurred, I felt calm and had no anxiety at all, like zero, that is super rare for me and damn, such a good feeling

There's a meditation practice where just after waking up, you try to retain any feelings of warmth or peace before you mind starts thinking about things.

I've only been able to do this once, but it actually does work.

Back Air on G String.

What makes a person beautiful to you?

Care towards others.

Do you think living in the present is more or less challenging than living in the past? Why?

More and less. People have more conveniences but different problems that are often more complicated.

Who in your family are you most like?

My mother.

Who is your oldest friend? How did you meet them?

Haven't seen any real friends in 25 years or more. I now have associates.

Tysm for the tags @Champagne @Kiwi2016 & @Kira

Sorry but I don't really have much in terms of answers for todays q's (esp. the ones about being like anyone in my fam & oldest friend cos answer to both is n/a since I don't think I'm really like anyone in my family, and the oldest friend would be kind of a joke for me to answer since I've only got 1 r/l friend anyway & only known him since 2017, all other "friends" I had in the past I no longer have, mostly by my own choice).

I am feeling pretty good overall right now, definitely better than I was earlier. I was struggling a bit with accepting certain actions of others in my life. I did some serious meditation on that & think I have come to a whole new level of understanding of both that & life itself so that is an empowering feeling. It's all teaching me to feel less disappointment about things by focusing better on accepting things and not being so attached to things happening a certain way in the first place.

Hope everyone else is having a nice day! ❤

Brain isn't much into answer questions, but thought I'd pop in and say hello.

Ok, I've had enough sleep and coffee to start putting words together again👍

What is the most beautiful song you have heard? (feel free to post a link)

I've heard way too many to ever pick one that's the most beautiful, so I'll go with the one I've loved the longest, "Somewhere Over The Rainbow"

What makes a person beautiful to you?

When they present their true selves to the world.

Do you think living in the present is more or less challenging than living in the past? Why

Same as it ever was, like the Talking Heads said. Our technology amounts to just a different set of props on the stage. People are unchanged.

Who in your family are you most like?

One of my sisters, probably.

Who is your oldest friend? How did you meet them?

Oldest friend is somebody I haven't seen in 15 years, at least, unfortunately. We met at 18 under the broiler hood at a Burger King.
