From a male perspective: Bring on the ELEPHANTS!

After watching the Republican Presidential debates, my congratulations go out to "FAIR AND BALANCED" FOX news network (they will not be hosting ANY Democratic debates,) for their latest attempt to gain ratings and put "butts in the seats!"  BREAKING NEWS: The election is 16 months away.  Put a tent on this circus, and bring in the CLOWNS!

Remember...

We are not what we do or have.  That does not define us.  We are human BEINGS.  How we "be" is who we are.  If we "be" from our hearts, that is all we need, to be our TRUE self.

"The picture tells the problem"

TEN RICH MEN are debating women's issues.  WOMEN are over 1/2 of the population! 31% of single mom's live in poverty in the U.S. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE??? 

Empty yourself out...

so you can fill yourself up again.  Lately, I have been working on cleaning up little messes around here.  What always comes hand and hand with that is cleaning up my own personal messes.  I am not sure which one is easier.  What I am sure of is that I always feel better when I have made some kind of inroads.  The same thing does not always work, so I have to be creative. Sometimes, I make some kind of a game of it, with, of course, a reward.  Many times, the reward ends up being just the act of getting something accomplished.  Sometimes, it ends up being ice cream. :)  It always ends up being a win-win situation!

Short and sweet!

"To be wronged is nothing, unless you continue to remember it."  Confucius

"Shake it off!"

Sorry, I was having a Taylor Swift moment!  She has a point, though.  It seems as if we let our selves get dragged down when something hits us personally.  It is as if we give all our power away to someone else.  People can decide who we are and how we should act.  I am talking about ourselves, in general.  What that leaves us with is not really knowing who we are.  We have good minds, and ideas and hearts and so now, lets start using them.  We are kind, thoughtful, sincere, hard-working, and creative, lets show them what we can do to make things better, and get out from their thumb.  "Shake it off " and become the REAL you.  See what happens!

Don't do this!

Yesterday, I got up, ate quickly, and went up to the park to get my walk before it got hot.  It was early, and still  82!  I finished my walk, ran my errands and went home where I did more stuff, laundry, kitchen, watering and the like.  Then, all of a sudden the day was gone and I had had about 1 glass of water.  OOPS!  With the OOPS came blurred vision, dizziness, and a raging headache which, by the way, lasted until today.  I finally drank the water I thought I needed, but it was too late.  Right now, I feel better, but a little weak.  Don't do this!!  It is not fun, not good for you, and it takes a while to get over.  Love your body, and hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!  Pop and lemonade,*which I do not drink! do not count!
