Been thinking about this a lot this week. Watching the John Adams series from HBO. This was thought in regard to watching blowhard men debating how best to "serve" us the same in birth of America as now. Somewhat disheartening.
They should present American History in the way this series is done. Of course can not so lavishly for all events, but the stories of the men and women involved as people and their own wishes/dreams/picadillos illustrating how it set policies and started events. Like seeing them as people with faults and reasons why they acted like they did. Adams angry when the painter depicted the signing of the Declaration of Independence because it, as a painting, is a totally made up scene. And it did turn out to be the way we think of the occasion as happening! the truth is actually more exciting and inspiring.
The feeling of staying the same even as one changes is carrying over into aspects of the life I am in control of. Makes for a good title if nothing else. Last night I woke three times with the hot flashes again. Have had a few here and there already but not so timed perfect as these. Not as severe and could go back to sleep, hooray hooray, but there they were. Removing the gland did not make the menopausal effects go away totally. Or the meds have not quite kicked in all the way either. Still much better overall and the full moon is here, so, go figure.
oops - forgot to chant my one round first this morning. oops got to go do that.... that has been one of the nicest practices I picked up again while home on this disability. Spend 15 minutes doing my meditation chanting each morning. Want to do for 30 days and see if it becomes a real habit/practice again.
