Quote Of The Day

Charles Mingus Quote:

Charles Mingus Quote

What’s Up With Pooja?

A lot, I’ve had an insanely busy day which is why this post is being published a little later than usual. In fact, it’s 3am in the morning here. I’m a night owl but this is late even for me. It’s not been a bad day though, pretty good actually. Just very busy. From the moment I woke up it’s been one thing after the other.

When we last spoke (wrote/read?), a lot of you wished for the quick recovery for my wrist. I’m happy to report it’s healed now. The bad news is that I fell down twice since then and have sprained my ankle. It’s not too bad but it’s not great. Whomever is giving me the evil eye, message received you can stop now lol. Just kidding. It’s just a bit of bad luck and life goes on. Ups and downs are normal.

The Living Happy Guide from Happy Hub

Anyway, that’s all from me. I need to head to bed now. But I think I’ll grab a snack first. I rarely snack but I’m starving today for some reason. Goodnight or day, everyone. Sending y’all hugs!

    Oh no, I didn’t know about your wrist! Yikes and a couple of falls, too. As usual you take it all in stride and keep going.

    I like the quote. It’s a good reminder that sometimes it takes a little more time to make things simpler for others, which is worth it when many people benefit.

    I’m listening to more music now that life has returned to normal after vacation. This week I’m listening to a collection of remixes by a Toronto band, SLAVE to the SQUAREwave… the band whose song you enjoyed so much from my Monday post! 😊

    that sounds so much like Mingis on that upright bass……he was an interesting fellow, back when people were…just someone that made music, his life was a bit complex, but man that guy could play….and make it sound so simple…..

    Love the quote, Pooja – some people make a career out of making simple things complicated.
    Glad to hear your wrist is better, BUT, on a more serious note, why are you falling? Not normal in someone of your age and so please go get yourself checked out. 🤗

    On the quote –

    It is my observation that there are some things in this world that cannot be defined. Any attempt at defining it will fail because of its profound dynamism.

    Creativity is one of them. It is simplicity, but it is also the complicated. Creativity is the endless infinite expression of the consciousness within us. If it is ever defined as one thing or the other, then it is not creativity anymore, just a formulaic repetition.

    Have a lovely day.

    I like that quote. There are some things that are very abstract and complicated and simplifying it to make it comprehensible to others without simplifying so much that it is no longer true, that is a challenge.

    That is a great quote. Definitely, making the complicated simple is a form of art people need to master.
    I have been listening to “Die with a Smile” by bruno mars and lady gaga ever since it was released. Unfortunately, my airpod has given up on me and so i am unable to silence the background noise with music – sad. Last week was just ok, with the usual ups and downs of life.
    Happy your wrist is fine now. The evil eye must be tired now i guess lol. Have a great week

    It literally took me 3 minutes to find the link to Reader today. I think part of the reason I’ve fallen so behind on both my blog and other people’s is that the site is just annoying to use now. I don’t like being one of those people who complains about change because my entire job is literally changing things, but these changes are bad. Lol

    Anywaaaay… I completely missed the story arc of your wrist being hurt but I’m glad it’s better! You fell down twice again though?! Reminds me of a girl I used to know who had the nickname Slinka. People said she was like a slinky, always falling down the stairs. Lol. Maybe you should inherit that nickname. 😅 Just playing, I’m glad you’re okay.

      That’s what pisses me off, it’s not that they’re making changes (I know change is inevitable) but rather the fact that the changes are now at all helpful. If anything they make things more difficult.

      Lol my sister calls me Trippy because I’ve been tripping a lot 😅

    I appreciate the profundity of the quotation. It sounds pretty good for teacher, since teachers need to distill many things into a receivable form or version. More importantly, I’m sorry to hear about your ankle. And about falling down. I fell down recently and ended up in the hospital, so I know it can be a big deal. I send Irish luck (my mother’s side). Heal well (as happened with your wrist). Snack well.

        I learned that one of the roads I was driving on was called Murphy road. It was an appropriate road because Murphy’s law was in full force. Brake line on my truck, almost got it impounded, paperwork snafus, too many to go, but your good vibes worked and I am landed and safe and sound, and even got my lightning fast internet hooked up, lol. Now to unpack and sleep for a week.
