I am not a believer in the value of circumstances–we simply cannot distinguish the good from the bad because so much is interconnected. The earlier people get this, the better things will go for them. As the fat man says, “there is no such thing as a bad day.” (He is a disc jockey in the Upper Peninsula.)
Still, I whine a lot. Even though I know this, I whine. It’s my way of coping. But in my heart, I know the above to be true. And that gets me through to the next “appearance” of good circumstances! Of course, I don’t quite enjoy them as much as I used to–because I know they are illusionary. And those bad days may be inherently wonderful. Nothing is as good as it appears and nothing is as bad.
Period.
So have a great day today. My good friend Carol is on her way to hang with me this weekend which makes it one of the great circumstances! We will do some wine tasting and eat at Stella’s maybe–oh, better make some reservations.
Today, some little strip steaks on the grill pan. I’m making whitefish chowder tomorrow, which means I’ll have some tomato and a bit of potato/corn on the cob as well. So I have not been strict carnivore yet. I’ve been mostly doing carnivore, but some keto thrown in and a bite of something here and there. so I have not started my countdown to Thanksgiving yet. Soon…

I love words so I write them. I’ve been doing that since I was old enough to read. I am a published literary writer and I was an adjunct English professor at Northern Michigan University for many years. I write and live and love off the grid on 35 acres and a trout stream in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula with my son, Joshua, who has Down Syndrome, and with an English Shepherd dog named Maggie, and with my husband when he can make it here which isn’t often. This blog started out being about my work, and it will continue to be. ( I’m working on a novel about premonitions and dreams.) But this blog is also about living off the grid and about my experimentation with diet—most recently the Carnivore Diet. I started on the Ketogenic diet, but have moved into Carnivore. How long, I don’t know. But I’ve become interest in the effects of diet on not just my health, but on creativity. And I’m interested in the effects of the diet on my dreams.
Ah, dreams... The day before my son was born, my mother “dreamed” or was told my son would have Down Syndrome, something she told my brother ahead of time. I’ve never known what to make of that. So I’m interested in prophetic dreams, lucid dreaming, creativity and dreams, night terrors. Who isn't interested in that? I’m interested in Freud (more Jung) and Einstein’s theories of time and how their ideas inform my dreams. I’m interested in mining a deeper relationship with a dream world not confined to daytime experiences, and how the night might inform a more fully imagined daytime “reality.” And vice-versa. Which is the dream?? I’m exploring dreams of all sorts. Come explore with me…
