Community Connection Chapter Four. Questions 1-3. Answer questions as though your ideal has been attained. The Rituals for Living Dreambook is one of the many ways I daily Future Self Journal.
- What are your friendships like? What do you do together? Assuming Covid has passed. I receive texts when something reminds a friend of me. People smile and are happy to see me. I am invited to meaningful events but not to an overwhelming degree. Game nights! Dominoes, Monopoly and my all-time favorite, Go Fish! I have many online connections, and feedback when I need it. I have built a network of online buddies that share my general views on life, with differences easily being shared and discussed.
- How prominently do your friends figure into your everyday life? How often do you get together? My friends are important yet secondary to my spouse and family. They are a friend to my marriage. We get together sparingly yet meaningfully, with most interaction via text as I have friends scattered around the world.
- How are your conversations? Are you able to share on all matters that are meaningful to you? Conversation are open and honest. I have the friends that would be the ones who would go to jail with me. But the friends who keep me out of jail are the closest to me. My friends do not feed the worst in me, my acquaintances are chosen carefully.
Grateful For:
-Finding more photographs to share.
-Fridge full of fruits and veggies. Monday is Big Ass Salad day!
-the darn reduced fat pringles are eaten so they can stop tempting me.
-no Covid! This past Friday the Omicron variant was named. I guess we’ll know if it’s a thing when I get this posted a month or two from now. As of today, the limited knowledge says it’s far more contagious, yet the illness caused is mild and the primary vaccines do the job against it. Allegedly. CDC and virologists are asking for two weeks to gather information before making a determination regarding the risk of the virus. Rumors running rampant, stock market and other indices dropped over 2% Friday on the news. Human nature isn’t prone to waiting for anything, but we’ll just keep wearing masks and social distance unless the science says differently. Neither tactic is difficult for me and the people I care about.
Edit: Yeah, Omicron is a thing. We need a sense of normal, so badly. But precautions must be taken to somehow ease the load on our healthcare workers. I encourage anyone reading to check out the nurses page on reddit.

Quick recap. The journaling is part of a 30 Day Challenge I started almost a year ago. I consider that a component of the Future Self Journaling process. The gratefulness notes near the bottom of each self improvement post is also a specific and helpful part of Future Self Journaling. The Rituals for Live Dreambook was given to me by my children, so why not add this to my blogging/future self journaling time?
