TV Show Meme

A television meme stolen from svgurl.

+ Bold all of the following TV shows of which you've seen 3 or more episodes.
+ Italicize a show if you're positive you've seen every episode.
+ Asterisk if you have at least one full season on tape or DVD [I'm counting if I've either given away or thrown away the DVDs and Tapes of them...because I no longer own a VCR or DVD player.]
+ Exclamation mark if it's an all-time fave.
+ If you want, add up to 3 additional shows (keep the list in alphabetical order).

[Just in case you didn't know there are a lot of television shows, and I've managed to forget more than most have seen?]

Okay I added more than three...I added All in the Family, The Witcher, Star Trek: Picard, Hercules: The Legendary Journals - because you can't have Xenia on that list without it, and The X-Men Animated Series and X-men '97.

Cherry Blossoms

Day started out...meh, not helped by a lengthy conversation with my mother that put me in a cranky mood. We were talking about my brother and his family. ( what made me cranky )

But I turned it around by taking a long two hour walk around the neighborhood and Greenwood Cemetery - that helped clear my head a bit. I went to Greenwood Cemetery for two reasons: 1) the cherry blossoms and 2) the quiet - it is possibly the best place in NYC to be alone with nature. You can walk for miles and hear birds, the wind, and the whoosh of wings in flight. Which is kind of miraculous in the middle of a big bustling city. Central Park and Prospect Park have this too - but it's harder to find.



Meditation this morning informed me that there is no self - just thoughts or a construct of thoughts formed by the intellect. Meditate enough you'll figure it out. (That's actually kind of true - I did. Then I got worried, because I didn't really care about anything and was just floating along. That happened about three years ago, so I stopped meditating for a bit. Now I'm doing it again, but sparingly.)

Today's meditation was on keeping an open mind, and not letting emotions overtake me.

I came home from walk, took a shower (dripping in sweat - frigging menopause), and fixed myself a power smoothie via the NutriBullet. It included a teaspoon of psyllium husk (recommended by my doctor, apparently she's taking it), OM mushroom supplement, pineapple, Granny Smith apple slices, Reishi protein shake, Matcha protein shake, blueberries, coconut lime yogurt, water, lemon juice, coffee, mango, and water. Weirdly tasty. And I feel better after drinking it.

Feeling much better now. I've decided I need to take more power walks around my neighborhood this spring and summer. And in general. Also, FB and Instagram desperately want me to start a somatic yoga practice - I'm being inundated with ads regarding it.

The walk cleared my head. It helps looking at grave stones. I realize how temporary everything in life truly is. Particularly surrounded by growing things, birds tweeting in the air, and flowers blowing in the breeze. Kind of puts things in perspective?
