Wants and Needs

Saturday night and I just couldn't bear wasting another evening. Instead I am stewing and sipping hot cider at that coffee place across from Walmart. I was up and out early today for some yoga, but fell back asleep as soon as I got back after sunrise. A good long talk on the phone with Chris, dinner, a shower, and there went another afternoon, whiled.

I'm here tonight because I need more order in these off-shift days. I need to figure out what I want and need from these jumbled days, and I need to be honest and methodical about how to go and get there.

So here it is, wellness Open Sky style:

So let it be so...
