Theme of the Week 89 \u2013 Where is the most inspiring place you have ever been? Why was it inspiring?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been mulling this one for a while today as I burn PTO to deal with the new Federal Juneteenth holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think the only place that’s ever really inspired me lately is inspiration to leave<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think my wayfaring childhood plays a big role in that. Maybe there’s certain keys that remind me of unpleasant places I’ve landed, but I’m trying to think of somewhere <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I really don’t think anything would give me positive inspiration now due to my limited eyesight. Inspiration triggered by something aside from visual stimuli seems tough. The auditory stimulations, maybe, is a route, maybe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the visual things I saw before I could really appreciate them might have desensitized me to things I really should appreciate.now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, I remember as a kid marveling at the USS Alabama<\/a> on a car trip over Mobile Bay. After living for several years near the USS Wisconsin<\/a>, when I saw it again, the awe was missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now with my vision basically gone, I don’t know that there’s anything that’s really taken me in more than a decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I don’t know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of the reason I’m under professional psychological care is that I think about doing risky things, knowing that there won’t be anything enthralling that comes out of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of what I think about doing is generally harmless. The things that I think about doing could be dangerous. But I don’t do any of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Normal people don’t have those sorts of thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dunno.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
