Paradise Tennant: ok
Paradise Tennant: great choice
Ninja Easterman: ah....hmmm
stevenaia Michinaga: how it relates to dropping things and opening up
stevenaia Michinaga: seems the term should be something else as the more you drop the lighter, not heavier you should be
Paradise Tennant: what kind of things would like to drop
stevenaia Michinaga: yes someone with their head in the clouds would not be considered grounded
stevenaia Michinaga: (a word issue)
stevenaia Michinaga: I travel lightly, I have to look hard to find things to drop
stevenaia Michinaga: but I’m sure there's "stuff" that weighs me down
Paradise Tennant: ;)
stevenaia Michinaga: the difficulty is finding it, which is its own journey
Paradise Tennant: yes
Paradise Tennant: selective shedding
--BELL--
stevenaia Michinaga: yes, to find what to leave behind

stevenaia Michinaga: nods
stevenaia Michinaga: dropping emails, a good start
Paradise Tennant: no worries one of the lovely things about chat .easy to catch up
Paradise Tennant: hmm if I wanted to be more grounded ..i think I would first drop all the noise
Paradise Tennant: the outside noise and the inside mental chatter
Paradise Tennant: *noise
Paradise Tennant: but not the music !

Ninja Easterman: get more beer,,,,
Paradise Tennant: lol
Paradise Tennant: lol
Mary Korpov: No, can't get it wet
