Take time....

to notice all the little details in your life.  We all know how busy our days can be.  They seem like a blur.  Lately, though, I have been trying to slow my brain down and really see what is going on around me.  My violet is finally blooming, and now I have 5 beautiful flowers, but today, I really looked at them.  They are such a wonder.  I also realized that C@boy purrs for a long while after I hold or pet him.  My daughter can fall asleep mid-sentence, before she gets up in the morning.  The view from my laptop changes constantly because there is a wonderful Magnolia tree in front of it.  I view all these things through lace curtains.  If I slow down, just for a few minutes, so many things are reveled to me, that I normally miss.  When I slow down, life is peaceful and serene.  Take some time with me to notice all the little details of your life.  You won't regret it!

Today is...

"Let go of the outcome, day." O.K.  Mercury is in retrograde.  If you don't know what that means, look it up.  But if things seem as if they have been going backwards, or sideways lately, and your technology has had a mind of it's own, that might be the reason.  It seems as if all these things I have no control over have piled up into one great heap recently.  At first, I was trying to sort it all out and feeling pretty cranky and a little scared.  Then I realized that I have control over..... So, I gave up on trying, and making myself nuts.  Acceptance is freeing.  Contentment with what I can't fix is soothing.  So, for today, and with a lot of practice, I will learn to "let it be."  It is much healthier that way for all of us. 

C@boy wanted me to remind you

that today is "National Hug Your Cat Day."  He is feeling better because I have been hugging him so much, today.  He also wants me to remind you that 3.4 million kitties do not have homes.  He is a rescue cat, himself, you know. So, love the one you have and or look into your heart and rescue a little piece of love for yourself.

Who's our "guy?"

As you may know, I am a Seattle Mariner's fan, and have been for over 20 years.  I watch other sports, too, mainly college basketball.  What I have learned over these years is that each team has to have a "guy" to be successful.  When the Mariners had Griffy, they were about the most cohesive team around.  He made sure everyone was on the same page and even made  Itchi become more of a team player.  You can look at any really successful team, and there is a "person."  Look at football teams, and really any other sport, there is someone who holds things together by making the team act like a TEAM.  This year, I really like our manager, but who is our "guy?'  "We need legitimacy in the locker room."  I don't think we will get to far without figuring this out.  JUST SAYIN!

:(

C@boy has been very sick for the past 24 hours.  I was up all night with him.  He seems a little better today. I know, he is 19.  Please hold him in the light!

The only time is...

now.  Be grateful now. Breathe now. Be happy now.  Be healthy now. Nourish your spirit now.  Look and really see, now.  Love unconditionally, now.  Did I mention be grateful, now. Now is all we have, don't waste it.

It's BIG BUSINESS!

What is big business, you say!?!  It is the "dumbing down" of America!  Recently, teachers in my state staged a walk-out.  It happened because our state refuses to fund education.  If you listen to the news at all, many inaccurate things are repeatedly reported. Or, try the commercials. If you hear something enough times, you start to believe it.  Those wily Republicans have their fingers in all these processes, including trying to break unions, and privatize everything.  If they had their way, we would all be so poor, we would spend our time just struggling to live.  Wait a minute.  That is what is happening to our ever-shrinking middle class already.  We certainly don't need health insurance, immigrants do not get to have a path to citizenship, human rights should go back to the 50's, lets see, what else?  Oh, yes, we all need to become the "worker bees!"  After all, it is just "Good Business," right?  I meant "RIGHT WING."
