Lynn Toler Instagram – I never have shoes on and I believe being right side up should be optional.
This is from 2022.
While my life was all upside down in 2023, I was never literally upside down. Didn’t occur to me. Had too much going on. That said, I think being upside down is good thing.
Sometimes, it’s just boring being grown all day long … A bout of childishness, with in the context of an otherwise orderly life, can be a welcomed change of both pace and perspective.
Oftentimes, we lose skills because we don’t regularly engage in them. Of course, I’m not a silly person, so I don’t see me having any real need for this particular skill. I mean where am I gonna pull that out and use it? It’s too late to join the circus.😂
That said, though it may not have intrinsic value, it does keep you flexible. Maintaining flexibility as you age, in both body and mind, is an important thing.
While a flexible body helps you navigate the physical world, a flexible mind helps you negotiate your emotional life.
If you’re rigid in thinking, all manner of notions that exist outside the narrow scope of what you know can irritate and upset you. But if you have a flexible mind you can entertain a wide range of ideas. You don’t ultimately have to adopt them but think how much easier everything would be if you got interested as opposed to agitated by new and different.
Deeper still, you’ll learn a thing or two. And I don’t know about you but I know for a fact I’m not right a lot. The cool thing about that, though, is the more often I figure out what I’m not right about the closer I am to getting there.
Looking at things from all sides helps with just about everything.
Therefore, now that I have some equilibrium back I intend to invert regularly in 2024.

If you’re not making progress you’re just standing there. Ain’t nobody got time for that.
Relevant #Tolerism: I do not claim to possess the #truth, but I do chase after it like it stole my car.

I am not simply a #widow. I am a widow working her way out of the weeds. The former is a state of being. The latter is a way of living.
I am in progress. | Posted on 02/Dec/2023 17:22:37
