    Do you need a break? From what?

    I needed a break from being awake. I love watching foreign films and watched three German movies on my flight to Berlin. I didn’t sleep much.

    I was determined to stay up and go out on my first day in Germany

    Sleep won out.

    I’m not much of a napper, but it was a great sleep. I had the much-needed break and Berlin better watch out.

    On Reflection

    I reflect on this often and it was recently I’ve spent a perfect day with my wife in Victoria. We got up at early at our leisure and went for a hike in a beautiful state park. The views of the Pacific Ocean were spectacular.

    We then boarded a ship to Victoria Canada. We checked into a beautiful houseboat on the bay and headed into a weekend of tranquil beauty. I love the feeling of that peace and absolute when I travel with my wife.

    Well, tomorrow I go solo. And here I outlined, what my perfect tomorrow entails.. you know the old saying

    “ if nothing goes wrong during traveling what stories are there to tell“

    How do significant life events or the passage of time influence your perspective on life?

    Psychology 101

    Significant Life Events

    There are far too many permeation to even ask this questions. What defines a significant life event?

    Significant life events, or “life-changing moments,” are key milestones, transitions, or traumas that fundamentally alter a person’s life trajectory, perspective, or daily routine. These often include major shifts in relationships (marriage, divorce), family structure (births, deaths), career (hired, fired, retirement), and residence (moving, buying a home). 

    I’m not all that unfamiliar with studies around this area. How our body manages change as dependent on the individual as well as buildup of significant life events. If any significant life events happen at the same time, it induces stress. It is at this point that we are more suspect to illness, etc..

    Perspective

    The life events listed above generally improve my perspective. I think change is good and getting out of our comfort zone is essential.

    Things you cannot control

    This is where the processing gets complex. I don’t care that much about the government of the United States but I do care about the people. The current fascist regime in the United States is taking rights away from people I care about. This taints my impression of this American life and my psyche in general.
