Kings & Queens

 I have often wondered what it would actually feel like to be a king or queen.  Would one have a sense of insecurity from knowing that they are regarded and revered as being special and unique in a lofty way and yet personally not feeling that there is any real reason for this distinction?  Or would a person feel that it is their birthright as a royal family member and that they are indeed something special and deserving of this distinction?  I suppose it would depend a lot on the individual.  And could it be possible to have a mixture of those feelings?  But which would be predominant?  Would a king or queen have a sense of pride in being the monarch despite any private “Why me?” feelings?  Would feelings of pride and all the other perks compensate for all the lack of freedom and privacy that the job entails?   Would it feel like a fortunate and pride filled privilege to be a monarch or other senior royal family member?  Or is there any possibility that they might personally feel that being royal sucks and that they would much rather be a commoner with a common life?  Is being a king or queen or royal family member just a fairytale that loses its magic for those who actually are royal family members or do they still comprehend the fairytale magic and distinction that others see and feel fortunate to be the ones who are members of the royal family? 

What would it really feel like to grow up and have the experience of being your country’s queen?!!  I can’t wrap my head around that life experience and few people ever can.

Things Belong Together

 Things belong together. For example, a plate that I have saved that is meant to be used underneath of a candle should be with whatever candles I have.  If I value the usefulness of this plate, then it should be kept with my candles and not in some drawer in the garage where I forget that it exists.  That just doesn’t make any sense at all.  I don’t know what has taken hold of me to suddenly experience such organization and storage enlightenment.  ðŸ˜‚  Oh and any currently unused nightlights that I still wish to keep should be stored in the same location as night light bulbs.  It just makes the most sense.  Oh thank you fairy of storage knowledge for the imparting of your beautiful wisdom! 😚🩷 😯 My miscellaneous drawer is proving to be work.  I’m realizing that most of its contents should really be stored somewhere else.  I’m not finished yet so this may prove to be true of all of its contents.

Thoughts & Insights

 Sometimes I have thoughts that are gift to me and sometimes they are my own.  I think they sometimes are a combination of both.  I guess that makes sense if I find them in my own head.  What I do truly know, though, is that there is a greater source from which we human beings can draw intelligence, wisdom and clarity when we find our way to tap into it.

Alternate Activity

 Well instead of going to jury duty (after not being selected) this week, I am tackling a clean out of my bookshelves lining the walls of my garage which is made possible with two strong fans.  This is the part that I neglected when I previously worked on my possessions clean out.  I am downsizing my collection (less can actually be better) and better organizing them.  The excess will be dropped off at Goodwill stores.  The last time I did this was before we moved in the summer of 2018.  It does go against my nature to get rid of good books, but I never stop wanting to acquire more from thrift stores, library book sales and etc. so this becomes necessary.  I will always find more, so this is not a problem.  It is also good for Goodwill if I purchase them and then donate them back again. ☺️  Now I just need boxes.   Note to self:  Don’t forget that I already have this book. 🫢 I guess I should at least keep one copy. Oh dear, in atte...
