When I was buying groceries the other day, I noticed that the cashier reminded me of an online friend I have known for years. And I got to thinking, what if my friend worked as a cashier at a grocery store? Customers would then see her, watch her scan items and pack them dutifully, hear her small pleasantries as they paid, and then leave and think no more about her. Nothing in that transaction would give them the slightest clue about her boundless creativity, her rich mind, her deep heart, all of which I have grown to admire and love. They would have no idea what an amazing person she is.
And then I wondered if perhaps my cashier today was in fact an amazing person and I simply had no idea. And now I am contemplating the notion that every person we see, that we pass by without a thought, might similarly amaze us with their depth and their wonder, if we only had the time and opportunity to learn them. I am left with a sense of being surrounded by invisible riches.

They will have a doctor review my results and give me some recommendations. I’m already working a plan with Grok.
Finding these issues BEFORE they manifested as a serious life threatening health condition may have added years to my life span.
The trick will be not reacting to this the same way I normally do, just adding more things and working harder at it.
I’ve sacrificed rest in exchange for learning more and getting more done. I’ll have to learn to relax.

in reply to Consider The Raven • • •it's hard to learn to relax. But one thing that I've learned to do is pick a couple of hobbies that can keep me occupied but also relax. So I garden, do a daily yoga routine, pray, and I either cold plunge or sauna daily. I stay busy but I also am way healthier than I've ever been.
Life is a journey my brother.
