It works pretty well. Mulling over how much time is left and how well we will be towards the end comes to us all at some point I think.

Worrisome thoughts when you're waiting for sleep doesn't seem the best if you could direct your mind to more pleasant ones -- recalling some of the lovely scenes you photographed, or flowers. I know, easy for me to say.

It must be an age thing, you put into words exactly what I think sometimes and then I push against those thoughts hard until they go away.

And yes, night thoughts tend to be dark... and I find that by reading until I fall asleep keeps my mind occupied away from worrying (most of the time this works). And I tell myself that the mind is full of thoughts, but they're only thoughts, not truths...

You are strong.<br /><br />A dedicated moment to meditate, pray, candles, aromas, sounds and such is a must, I feel, in old age in order to balance pestering negative memories and worries. Some folks put that moment in a glass without setting an atmosphere. I prefer to be the focus fresh and clear.Salty Pumpkin Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10116105220109225010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8039370.post-86213061829099275532022-05-21T08:29:19.441-04:002022-05-21T08:29:19.441-04:00I hear you, I go through the same process mentally...I hear you, I go through the same process mentally and physically.
