Habits are basically how we relate to the world. If we change so might our habits. If the world changes then so might our habits. Relationships can be affirmative, toxic, ... and a whole load of other adjectives. Just as our relationships with with individual people or groups can be. We are free to choose.

I love you, Clint. We affirm each other.

I love you too, Ray…you’re truly a ray of light in a sometimes dark world. Keep your light shining bright! 🌈✌️

I do. Usually. Sometimes my idealism gets disappointed, resentful about toxicity and my light gets momentarily dimmed by cynicism ( the opposite pole to my romantic idealism - both poles are unrealistic). Lots of hugs xx

Reality, most days, is very overrated in my opinion. :-p Hugs, dear one!

I've always had the possibility to stand with one foot in "earth-bound reality" and the other (sometimes only a toe or two) in spirit - infinite, eternally Now, the Oneness of Being - united with all that there is. Maybe I am in my final (or close to my final) incarnation. (I will always be present in spirit for those mortals who need my support and guidance.)

You are loved and lovely, Uncle Ray. In whatever incarnation you’re in. 🌈❤️😘

That is also true for you and everyone. It is only unresolved pain and distress from the past that gets in the way of being lovable, loving and shiny.

Thanks. That is true for all of us. It is only past unresolved distress and pain that stops people from shining and loving.

Amanda Lear and Kim Wilde. What a treat and two ladies whose music I really love. Here's to many happy habits, and a few bad ones ✨️ ❤️ 😊

Oh, Steve, you’re a caution…and I appreciate you and becoming a habit. Hopefully for the better than worse. :-p :-*

Well, well Clint you mentioned Amanda Lear again, hell knows her true stats, hence her enigmas. https://youtu.be/7-R3GyWl4cE?si=a7iQVgUnPx9PE7Jf now another Muse and lover to some in her bright youthful start before the powder took a hold(BTW I hope that clip isn't a repost from me on here 😉)

Uh…wow. The vintage video of Ms. Faithful was lovely, but that David AI video really made me scratch my head. It’s my kinda AI “slop.” As for the AI men kissing in their undies….damn! Amazed YT’s bots haven’t flagged it. Maybe AI favors AI? :-p Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for sharing, Michael. As a (hopefully forever) former agoraphobic, I’m slowly learning to love travel again. In fact, I just booked another cruise yesterday. Last month’s four-day trip with chosen family left me wondering what it would like to cruise solo. So I’m going…but I do feel some of your fear. Listen to you body, but do what works for you, dear. Cheers!
