#perspective check

"It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we’ve ever known." ❤️

And I give myself full permission to begin anew. =)

My internet has been acting up since last night. The connection slows down and inevitably cuts out quite frequently. It was working fine for a couple hours this morning but died on me again (right in the middle of a DarkBlood dungeon run I was doing with Mog). I did all the normal stuff to try and solve the issue; power cycling the modem, checking the network configuration, cleared the DNS cache, tried a direct connection with the ethernet cable and nothing worked. So, I called customer service and they couldn't get it to work either. Now, I've got an appointment with a service techniciain in the morning to see if he can solve my internet issue. I hope it gets fixed soon. I'm so glad I have unlimited data on my phone so I can still get my online fix. This might not be such a bad thing, though. I went to sleep earlier than usual last night, woke up early and felt pretty good. It's also given me time to just clear my mind and think about some things I've placed on the back burner. I might even get back into my old hobbies of drawing and crocheting, and even get around to finishing my second playthrough of FFIX I've been neglecting for so long! It's not a bad situation I've found myself in. It's not even entirely unfavorable. Maybe this is the universe's way of showing me that a time of change is upon me. That now is the perfect time to reevaluate my position in life and do what I can to help myself.
