the mind

August 2, 2023

Getting a new computer set up, means you have to do a lot of rearranging, you are forced to look at all that “stuff” in your old hard drive. What is really essential, how much of the “clutter” do you really need, or will ever use ??????? If we could see inside our minds, we would find that the mind is just as cluttered with “things, information, memories” that are no longer relevant in our lives. Since my husbands passing some five years ago, it has been a steady emptying of the house of “objects” parafernalia no longer needed or wanted.

What is clear to me is that I no longer want to deal with all the mumble jumble that is required to get the new equipment up and running so that it is effective and I can be productive. It isn’t a simple task, of bring a new computer home and use it.. no …you need a lot of “stuff” from the equipment you are using. People working in the field, can so easily juggle all the various tasks, but to me it is mind boggling.

The computer is a wonderful invention, I love it, I love working with it, on it… but the mechanic of it.. that is another story. In nature, you can clearly see from the picture above, what is new , thriving and what has gone past its due date. I need to prune my mind .. simplify … … where is my to do list for the next many months !!!!

How about you… all good at your end?

Today’s calendar..

Be big hearted. In fact, what you are concerned about might be something you don’t need to be concerned about. Interact with people without worrying too much.

beauty is skin deep

July 31, 2023

I have always admired the beauty of this evergreen. It stood tall and proud in the Perfect Liberty church parking lot. during a recent storm (one of many we’ve had this summer) it was toppled. Rev. Eugene took the pictures and he graciously has allowed me to share them with you.. I was surprised at how shallow the roots were, given its size I would have thought that the roots would have travelled down further, and spread wider.

Reminds me of how often I have seen people being judged by appearance … and not by their personalities and inner beauty. Every where we look, there are commercials and ads that will help one look more beautiful and radiant if this product or item is bought and used. the endless commercials on fad diets and supplements that are a must if you want to look younger, stay fit, etc. Most of the ads are about maintaining a “look” or appearance, You can be vain, shallow, superficial, self centered etc. go into debt to try to achieve what someone else considers beautiful and essential…. then spend endless hours lonely, distressed over debts, and trying to cope with feelings of inadequacy.

Being home these past weeks dealing with “symptoms” from my fall, I have had time to think, reflect and cogitate on the world around me. How “busy” everyone always seems to be, AND notice things about my own “habits” and “lifestyle”. S C A R Y…. when commenting on others, one should always look hard at the imagine in the mirror.

Be flexible to change. A flexible way of thinking and responding is one of the keys to getting along with others.

July 28, 2023

Hazy overcast with a delightful freeze. Still a welcome sight. We need to find more time to simply reflect and quietly enjoy our surroundings, wherever that may be.

Every day is a new sky a new beginning. Step outside your comfort zone, explore new possibilities.

Develop new ideas through your imagination – softly and flexibly- If you could find a way to add a twist, you will have more joy.

What’s on the menu at a Ladies’ Mile department store lunch room?

July 25, 2023

I remember when tongue sandwiches were served in some of the restaurants here in the city .. I doubt you will find that in a walk in restaurant/cafe now.. and look at the prices!

Ephemeral New York

An astounding 20,000 people waited for the doors to open at the new Siegel-Cooper department store in September 1896.

This was the emporium New York City consumers were waiting for: 80 departments featured everything from the latest fashions to pets to pianos to bicycles. Merchandise was spread out over 15 acres of selling space in a massive building on Sixth Avenue between 18th and 19th Streets.

(Oddly, the above illustration of the store doesn’t show the Sixth Avenue El, which had a special exit at 18th Street that led directly inside the building.)

But shopping can be exhausting, and even with the 20th century on the horizon, there were still few restaurants within the Ladies’ Mile shopping district where it was socially acceptable for a woman or group of women to grab a bite. (This is the Gilded Age, after all, and unescorted ladies weren’t supposed to dine on their…

really?

July 20, 2023

Hello everyone, Bom dia…. Bon Jour… yes, I’m still here, I’ve been letting my body heal. I know I have a hard head, I certainly heard the thunk .. it has not been determined if I had an “out cold” moment or two before I realized I was on the floor .. and began taking inventory of the various limbs that are attached to my body. Suffice to say, it has been an interesting week or so… as you all know I’m not the best patient in the world.

But here we are heading into another week-end. At least tomorrow is Friday, and we are mid July. So many people take holidays in June, July and August. I know it is perfect weather for summer cottages, camping, going to the beaches and wandering country roads. Soon the country fairs will start up, I’ve already seen signs of exhibitions/fairs being advertised. We’ve had Jazz Festivals and I believe the Blues festival was just last week..

For me the last week plus I have been in recovery mode.. that means a lot of sleeping and lying still listening to audio books, lectures and seminars. I had little interest in eating, altho’ I did have to eat, so I prepared dishes that could be left on the stove and dipped into when I needed to respond to the growl in my tummy. I did make sure I stayed hydrated…. it is amazing what rest and staying hydrated can do to a body in need.

My heartfelt thanks to everyone who has written or called to check up on me. I certainly felt your “love” and believe me in the moments when I was feeling really “low” and “sorry” for my “sad state of affairs” the messages cheered me.

For those of you who know the magic of crystals/minerals.. I received a beautiful silver owl pendant with a chrysocolla pear shaped stone….it travelled from India from a friend in Australia. I am truly blessed.

Move forward with confidence. Experiences you have acquired through efforts so far are wonderful. Give it all you’ve got.

Healing

July 17, 2023

Have you ever stood by a cascading water fall, heard the rushing of the water over the rocks, as it travels over the many boulders and dips into the valleys it travels over. it is an awesome feeling to follow its path towards its destination where-ever that may be. It flows with an abandon that is beyond its control, it simply lives in the moment.

After a fall when you’ve hit your head, the healing process is much the same, the body has been shaken your whole system has to rebalance itself. The task before you is trusting in your inner voice, listening to what you can and cannot do… the biggest for me, is to practice PATIENCE.

Todays calendar reminds me… “to start with what I can do” and to think before i take action…

The path to achievement is “to start with what you can do” Try to find out what you can do towards challenges in your own situation. This will pave the way for achievement.
