Take your pick, what will you have today?
Ever wonder what is on your mind? Last night I had this brilliant idea, but of course, when I woke this morning, it was gone.
Recent conversation. Friend. I hear you got a cat. Me. Yes I did. Friend. .So, what is he/she like? Me. I don’t know. Friend. You don’t know? Me. No, he came in and I haven’t seen him since.
Think I’m joking…. guess what… I’m not.

OK I do know this, he is eating, using his litter and except for one brief conversation at me, he is quiet. NO, he has not come near me, or have we been in the same room together. Does a 5 second, pause and acknowledge and then skedaddle count?

aujourd’hui
Yesterday is a bit of a blur. Sometimes in life we find ourselves being led by an unknown force, we don’t realize it at the time, we simply act on instinct/impulse. It has happened to me before, and i adapt, may not know right away why, or how come I did or I’m doing something. But eventually… the light bulb goes on.
Be able to quickly shift your state of mind, Once something has happened, you can’t undo it. Be able to shift your state of mind quickly so that you can take on the situation with a fresh perspective. (2011.23)
Today I will try for a day of quiet contemplation and reflection. Have a good day everyone!

Decisions
Things start happening the moment you decide. From the moment you decide “I’m going to do something” things begin to happen. Ride your initial wave of enthusiasm to get things done efficiently, (2011.15)
Physical pain is something that everyone endures differently. Acceptance of discomfort as we age, and the various symptoms that become annoying and sometimes, ever present… can be challenging.
” And now you ask in your heart, “how shall we distinguish that which is good in pleasure from that which is not good?” Go to your fields and your gardens, and you shall learn that it is in the pleasure of the bee to gather honey of the flower, But it is also the pleasure of the flower to yield its honey to the bee. For to the bee a flower is a fountain of life, and to the flower, a bee is a messenger of love. And to both, bee and flower, the giving and the receiving of pleasure is a need and an ecstasy.” (The Prophet, Kahlil Gibran)
