Conforming to environment

Conforming to environment  

Once I thought we could be who we were regardless of our environment.  You are who you are no matter where you are is what I thought.

When I first came to Florida from out west I wore jeans and tee shirts.  I looked at the aging population and noticed their gold baggy shorts and bright red, green, yellow shirts and thought how childish.  Sure enough, after a time, I was wearing bright shirts and baggy shorts.

It was the same at work.  You conform to your environment mentally and physically.  Some of us can remain aware, removed, while still ending up conforming.  Whether one conforms or not, keeping our awareness helps us to remain conscious and  transcend the pressures of our surroundings.

I still wear jeans much of the time and T shirts around house. I love them but I put on a collared shirt when going out in case I bump into to someone interesting. Better not to look too schlumpy (spelling?).

Bought 2 new laptops over the past few moths. $379 for a 15" touchscreen and $299 for a 17". I consider both steals. Toshibas. Got em at BJs. My old HP died a few weeks after getting the first one. I had decided to be safe and devote one solely to financial account usage after learning of several thefts of people I know. Better safe than sorry. It was cheap insurance at such a low price lap top.

They have some great prices at BJs for certain things.

Hi Steve,

Busy deciding what to bring back to Florida when I return next week. In NYC I wear lots of dark colors such as grays, blacks and navy to blend in with this environment, but occasionally I'll wear red to perk me up and provide some contrast with the environment. In Florida however I often feel like wearing white or lighter colors.

Can't wait to return to NPB for the winter and get away from the cooler, gray weather we've been having here in NY, and the noise, etc…

Have been feeling good. Flying down south next week. Letting a professional driver drive my car so it will be there when I arrive.

Hoping all is well with you, friends and family.

Beverly
