A Random Act of Kindness, Part II
It is way past my bedtime, But I have had a what I must call a spiritual experience, and the muse seems to be on duty. I know better than to fight the muse, but I will add a disclaimer, that no thought will go into anything beyond this point. This is free writing in practice.
I plugged in my headphones while spinning down from a long day of working the morning and doing laundry for the remainder of the day. It was a FABULOUS day in southern California, 70's, calm, crystal skies. My first day off in 6 days. So I went to work.
Just for a couple of hours to finish a task I started yesterday. The boss yelled at me, but not hard enough to make me go away. He would have needed wild horses in any case. I was there for me and my sanity. I had to have that done. One less thing on my mind. A goal of mine.
I did laundry for most of the afternoon, was popping in and out of the website, and cleaning house. (that part did not progress as far as I would have hoped) I got clean chonies for tomorrow. Everything else is Gravy.
My life is miserable, I am obsessed with my work, and can't seem to make progress there, not much family to call on, a hermit off duty, with the exception of my online presence.
I have stated on several occasions that this is good thing. I am not 27 and living with mom, I am over 50 and have been given a solitary lifestyle. That does not eliminate the need for meaningful interaction with others. This fills a large portion of those needs when you are involved in a community such as this.
Wow, that was a big intro, I am back, let's give a round for the muse. 
I got a message that one of Neetu's friends was in trouble, or needed support.
I did not bat an eye, I will be there. Was my response. I do not know where that came from. It was almost reflex. Belay that, It was reflex. I will charge the gates of hell at Neetus command. And they say internet relationships have no legs. I don't want to date or marry her, either option is open, lol, but we digress.
I wrote my piece, and something happened. I was driven to write another piece to scattershooting, and then something else happened.
I plugged in my music player and put in the earbuds, an old song happened to come on, and for the first time in 20 years, I was dancing in my living room. That may seem pedestrian to some, to me it is an emotional volcano that has been released. I touched parts of my being today that have been hidden for too long. And they paid me back with a few moments of joy that I did not understand. Oh, I forgot to mention the dancing was not entirely voluntary, I was going to the kitchen when it just happened, I was wise enough to just go with it.
The emotional release I have had today is long overdue, and was much needed.
I am spent. And will likely be late for my 645 start time.

I meant for this to go to the treehole. Oops
You can always move it, ya know.
I dance around the house now and then. I danced with my grandkids when they were little (sometimes even now that they are grown) and now I dance with my dogs. Keep dancin', 84, keep dancin'.
I think it's a wonderful piece to share with the community too.
Random acts of kindness can lead to joy. I know it does for me. I'm glad it did for you. Neetu has such a positive vib, that I think she could make anyone dance!
There is a destiny that makes us cousins
None goes their way alone.
For all that we send into the lives of each other,
Will come back into our own.
