In life there are up's and downs. It's natural to experence both.  It's also natural ( I would hope ) to want more of the Highs than the lows.

How we get there - says alot about us. 

If we start relying too much on the( drugs - legal or illegal, alchol, caffene, etc.)  atrificial ways  or natural ways such as - helping others, exercise, quality time with our families, etc. 

One way will zoom us -( temporarly - and equally slam us to the pits as soon as it wears off - usually in few min.s )- to the top.

The other may take longer getting there but will definetly last  much  much longer.

Your choice!

Let's take a stand Blogers. Step away from that key board and jog in place.......

No that's not what I mean.  We've become a world of - sit on our buts and do little or nothing - people. 

It's time to get our act together and start rebuilding - ourselves - out world.  Body, mind and spirit are all connected and nessary for a healthier  - person.  

Start some where. If nothing less than realizing what and how many extra chemicals  we put in our bodies - every day with the vast number of percription medications we take. 

Back to basics.  Back to replenishing the vitamins and minerals that we strip from out diets - daly? Fast food and Drugs are going to do us in - sooner than later. 

Think GREEN!  Not just for our cars , but ourselves as well.

Tired of wallering around in the negative thoughts and attitudes of day in day out - stuck in it mud - life? Shoot for the top of the heap.  Become apart of the top 2% - where the air - atmosphere and attitudes are a lot cleaner. 

Remember that while climbing for the top - that a strong ( triangle )bace of followers can and will  rase you higher and can holder you there longer than only one or two.  This bace becomes your willing workers to make things easer for you.  Be kind to them. 

Siting on "TOP" of things? Not knowing where to go? Nonsence! You've been wallering around at the bottom too long.  There is no such thing as the top.  When  you think you've arrived - you'll see there are an infintent supply of new and exciting possabilities - that will give you a real hunger to keep on climbing.  Reach down - grab a few hands - and -  pull them up to the  success where you are  then you keep on climbing.

Life just goes up in smoke........or so says the son of David.

Smoke, nothing but smoke. There's nothing to to anything - it's all ( like ) smoke. What's there to show  for a lifetime of work. A lifetime of working your fingers to the bone? One generation goes its way, the next one arives, but nothing changes - its business as usual for old  planet Earth.

The sun comes up and the sun goes down, then does it again and again - the same old round.  The wind blows south, the wind blows north. Around and around and around it blows, blowing this way, then that -  the whirling, erratic wind. 

All the rivers keep flowing to the same old place, and then start all over and do it again. Everything's boring, ( so ) utterly boring - no one can find any meaning in it. 

Boring to the eye, boring to the ear. What was will be again, what ( ever ) happened ( in the past ) will (certianly ) happen again. There's nothing new on this earth.  Year after year  it's the same old thing. (So when ) someone does call out, " Hay, this (Da Vinci  code thing or my own personal insights  or etc. ) is new" ?  Don't get excited - it's the same old story. ( Whether it's the " Holy Grail " or The Da Vinci code or the Bible or Davecathy's story  or Secret Familey Recipies - written by myself it will all tell the same story - so it woulden't matter if i read it from the Bible, Da Vinci's code or any one elses  own thoughts.).

Nobody ( realy ) remembers what happened yesterday ( last week, last month, last year, or 2000 years ago.) And the things that will happen ( next year, 10 years from now or in 4006AD.) tomorrow?

Reprint from Ecclesiastes( The Message Verson)  Chapter 1, verses 1 through 11.  

The words in red are my thoughts added.  My apoligies Dave but  King David's son said the whole thing more elequently than I could.

As for the differences between LOVE and EVIL? It's human nature to want our own way and to want to  fight anyone else who won't see it  or agree with our own personal views.  Hate and Evil come naturaly- most of the time.  

For me  believing in a loving familey and a compasionate father was easy - I had those things growing up.  As for my husband - he grew up - surrounded by hate, vengence and anger at his biological mother but 100%superimposed on to him - just because she gave birth to him.

Yet to see the love and concern that he has for his daughters can only be described as an excample of GOD'S LOVE. He didn't get it at home - it had to come from some where else.

" By the time you're eighty years old you've learned everything. You only have to remember it."

George Burns ( 1896 to 1996 )

I guess that since I've not yet reached the  eighty mark - there's a lot more to learn. 

Yhoo - Prase  The LORD - Let the good  times roll. 

Live ( and  CELEBRATE ) each moment till it's ALL  used up.

Wahoo I've got 20+( till 80 ) or 40+( till 100 ) or more to go yet.

Just for you Lorrie........this is a big old Howdy from me to you. Also check out

Responding    or   Reacting? The magic word here is thought.   Yours or your subconchious. 

Both words  have the same dictonary meaning. To act........ The real question is - how much thought is put forth? 

As I've tryed to tell my kids........ Think ....first as to what will or will not happen ........because of your "Action". 

You ( wisely and carefully ) choose the path of your own success rather than just (blindly ) reacting to what ever comes along.

It's not enough  to think "BIG" think "HUGE"

 NEVER  NEVER  NEVER  NEVER  NEVER  NEVER EVER

  PUT LIMITS  ON HOW BIG YOU CAN THINK.

Happy Memorial Day Weekend - Drive safe !

I WANT......

less pain, to be healthier, a clean apartment, energy to clean the apartment, to weigh a "LOT" less, enough $$$ to redecorate, the workmen to be finished with the bathroom - so I can move the stuff back where it belongs, just one more member for Art Diamond Club# 462, division "A"position, people to lissen to me, for all the clubs in this area - division - to peacefully get along with one another, for my book on District 11 to be finished - published and in the hands of all District 11 members,puropse in life, a better computer, my son to get over here and install the new printer, to find "Phyllis" my old high school friend, for all the members of my familey to get along, to solve the mystery of my husbands familey, etc.......................

Most important on that list at this moment? 

Less pain, to be healthier,MORE ENERGY, to weigh "LESS"

Ok - I'm game - someone tell me how I can  VISUALIZE this.

repeat after me.........I love my self  I love my self  I love my self  I love my self  I love my  self  I love my self  I love my self   I love my self  I love my self  I love my self   I love my  self   I love my self   I love my self   I love my self  I love my self   I love my self     

  Self esteem is where it's at...............

in my opinion..........Success is  Oprah. 

Oprah is success. 

I watched the tv intreview  on her last week and keep think WOW what a person.

In her own words.........

" My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life: but doing the best at this moment puts you in the best  place for the next moment."

Oprah Winfrey

To the me within me. To my Subconscious Mind.

Wake up !

and start sending some better stuff.

 I think we all do it.......

say it.......

and even sometimes think it........

why ? ? ? because it was once said to us. 

" STUPID - IDIOT - DUMB"

Actually it's not  you , me  or anyone else that ( actually is ) any of those things - it's just the things we do - from time to time.

So what would be easer and kinder is to realize that  it was the action that we chose at that moment in time. Not the  "INDIVISUAL" .

Do not critizise the doer,but critize the deed.

God help me when I say this........but I think that also applys to "George W. Bush" I'm not in his shoes.

 I'm not living his life. I don't like what he's saying and doing, but somewhere in his mind, he can justify himself. 

Other than that - he is - just as I am - just as you are - a child  of GOD.

  And GOD DOES love ALL HIS CHILDREN!

........even when they don't agree with each other.

" Never critize a man ( or woman ) untill you've walked a mile in his ( her ) moccasins.

    -American Indian Proverb

Don't be selfish - share the joys of success with the rest of the team.  Isn't that the whole purpose of a "TEAM"? 

If  you're that much of an authority hog - send us a message to that fact.  We can then move on with our lives, enjoying the success and joys of helping one another and mankind.

We can an will make a large enough circle around you for you to drowned in you  own self made pitty pool.

tick tock..... tick tock......  tick tock..... tick tock..... tick  tock.....tick tock......  tick tock....Time is just waisting away.  I think I need alot more than 24 hours in one day.  All these thoughts racing through my brain are are headed for one superclossal train reck.  

Ya Ya Ya I know the drill......make a priority list....schedual phone calls etc. ......get organized.  It's a lot easer said than done.  The sugestion is for an average day.....keep a written log as to what you' re doing.

For me that would take ( waste ) more time than I have now.  Then what? More lists to schedual activities?  I don't know about you ....but I feel better actually living my life  - moment by moment  rather than reading what ( I should do) OFF A PIECE OF PAPER.

Who:

You - me - anyone - everyone  If you're aware of it or not we are all sales people of one sort or another. From the day we are born, to the day we die we work hard in getting others to acknowledge us, to pay attention to us, positive or negative. We're puting out the signals - notice me!

What: We're selling who we are , our personality, our attitudes and who we'd like to be.

When:  Every second of the day. Even if no one else is around - we're trying to sell ourselves a thousand and one excuses as to why we do or not do something.  

Where: Right here - Right now !

Why:  Because we're HUMAN ! 

Come on - now ! to be a success in todays world you need to have a better comand of numbers?   Maybe  - but that's what calulators, hand held pc's and personal calanders and or keeping other intellegent people around you is for.

Not my ( dyslexic ) brain.  Mr Bennett  may have some very good  ideas toward success  www.YearToSuccess.com   but his day # 19th. peg system ( remembering numbers ) clearly will not work for everyone. I could care less about remembering

15405726645639503058372095

by sounding out the following sounds

t,l,r,p,l,k, n,ch,ch,r, l,ch, m, p, l,s,m,s,l, f, m,k,n,s,p,l

I'm not intestered in locking this number forever into my brain - today - next week or ever.

How about you. Do you agree or disagree?

 

There are millions and millions of words we can use to communicate with. Yet when we attempt to puff ourselves up  and exaggerate - to make our selves apear greater than we are.  It might look something like this.......

Amy attired herself in massive ground or molded pieces of glass, with obvious curves intended to reflect light rays to increase the productivity of the hollowed out structors located in the bony sockets of her skull. 

She was not cognizant that these particular  pieces of glass so over bosted the physical deminsions of the above mentioned hollowed out structors.

What good does it do us to exaggerate? Unless we are telling a whopper of a story, A fish story or slinging the bull, all those extra words  really does not add to the story.  In the  piece above  I used  fifty nine words.  Fourty eight of them were totaly un nessary and could be though of as being waisted. What might have been a better way? 

 Amy wore thick lenses that exaggerated the size of her eyes.
