Since everything after the essentials is pure excess, what is the point unless that it-is-me: i-am-it kismet feeling registers.

323

And I have a lot of ideas.

322

The truth is...I do like things.
I read somewhere that material objects are embodiments of ideas.

321

This idea conflicts, however, with the inner peace I get from my material obsessions.

(Have a peaceful weekend. Back on Monday.)

320

The other day I was told that letting go of material obsessions is critical for inner peace.

319

and for me anyway, at this point, comfort really cannot be overrated.

318

When it 'tis the season of gifts you have to give, vaccines you cannot get, trips you have to take, cards you need to fill and family you're going to face, comfort is really key...

317

When I feel bad, I try to source from my daydreams.
But the reality of weather and crowds drove me back in.

As a consolation, I turned to shrink-to-fit jeans, a knit cap, and a striped sailor shirt - the comfort foods of fashion.
They'd all been in my daydreams too - I had had to think of something to go with the shoes. ;)

316

So I was sitting there, feeling utterly content, happily sewing myself a pincushion and daydreaming about saving the world, taking trips, and daydreaming.

Then I got an unpleasant email* from my father, which set me running towards a pair of prohibitively high-priced shoes.

*not outrageous, but unnecessary and un-nice.

(Back on Monday.)

315

Oh, you want to know what I daydream about?
The usual things - saving the world; taking trips; sometimes I daydream about sitting and daydreaming.
(What do you daydream about?)

314

This keeps my daydreams well-stocked.
