REFLECTIONS

A while back we had a flood in the basement due to a storm and had most of it repaired. I finally got around to turning the rest of the mess into something decent. Laundry-Room Before The workmen did the heavy work like hanging cabinets and counter top installation.  I did the light work after they left, cleaning up and organizing. Laundry-Room After I set up the counter top as a small snack area now. Work-Room Before This was before the workmen put up a wall to make it into a separate room.  Work-Room After I worked on these two rooms a half hour a day for about two months.  I wasn't interested in doing more than that each day.

Just before bedtime I like to watch a little TV.  It doesn't interfere with my sleeping and I'm just about too tired to do anything else. Last night I watched a horror movie called Within that surprised me.  It fell into a standard plot; same story with different backgrounds, actors and details. Here's the blurb: The trailer: Not a new idea but it was still fun to watch. The song at the end of the movie while the credits were being shown is perfect for the movie. Maybe they should have put it at the start or somewhere in the middle.  I never heard of the group for "Are You Alone Now?".

The other night I watched the movie Come and Find Me on Netflix, which I thoroughly enjoyed.  It uses a series of flashbacks in an extremely smooth way, not jerking back and forth.  I wish the actress Annabelle Wallis could be heard more clearly but otherwise the movie was perfect for me. It stars Aaron Paul from the Breaking Bad series.   Here's a description and the trailer. "David and Claire's idyllic relationship comes to an abrupt and mysterious end after Claire disappears without a trace. Devastated but incapable of letting go, David follows her down a frantic and increasingly dangerous path. Shocked at discovering Claire was living a double life, he's forced to risk  everything if he ever wants to see her again."

I posted about getting organized before so maybe I'm just being obsessive and compulsive.  It's a little different now. Getting organized requires some time but time spent organizing is time spent not enjoying the present moment.  Why do I want to be organized? To have some control of my life but I believe that it's possible to control only about 30% of life. The rest depends on genetics, accidents, my decisions from the past, other people's action, etc. There will always be some anxiety if I dwell on it.  But I want to feel secure against complete disorder and confusion. If I'm not prepared something harmful may happen to me.  I don't want to miss out on something because I don't know what's happening. There is a need to ease my fear of not making the most of my life, of being disappointed. I want to avoid complications and confusion but too much organizing will actually result in more complication and confusion instead of less.  Ye
