Evie Day 152
Hello. It is Tuesday, 15 August 2023.
Today is going to be a rough day. I find myself thinking about snappy things to say, and funny anecdotes to fire off… yesterday I was listening to an executive book summary on how to stay focused, and I’d tell you more, but I got distracted. …but it’s not the right time to try to be funny.
Friends of mine will be having a service later today for the son they lost eight days ago.
I’ll watch the service online.
This kind of thing is never easy.
I’ve got the news on, and there are stories about things happening in the world. Maui has been torched. More charges have been filed against the former guy. A small town in Kansas had their newspaper raided by the police, and it appears to be politically motivated.
Right now I’ve got to call for, “Shield’s up!”. Too much debris coming at me all at once.
I’ve been trying to improve my focus. I wasn’t joking earlier about losing my focus while listening to an executive book summary on how to stay focused. I’ve been listening to a collection of books focused on ADHD and neurodivergence, and maybe it will help me created better habits. Note to self: Listen to a summary on creating better habits… or skip the summary and listen to the whole book.
If you have a second, send some prayers and positive intentions to my friend, his wife, and their surviving son. Right now they are going to be surrounded by a lot of caring people and a lot of support. Next week, they’ll try to get back to their professional lives, and at times, the silence will be deafening. It’s in those moments that I hope the universe touches them and reminds them that they are loved.
Time to get on with my day.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.

Doesnt everyone have problems staying focused if the subject matter isnt interesting? Praying in particulair has me off in the weeds in no time and that bothers me but I am not ADHD. I think our society has cultivated short attention spans and then on to the next thing. I can hardly read a book unless it really interests me, then I dont want to put it down until I have read it all.
Your right about the grief. The silence, going through his things, no future with them to talk about, that will be the hard time.
