I am thinking about….9/19
High impact bumpers, low compression golf balls, child proof lids, easy to read directions, adult proof containers, left handed pencils, right hand bow ties, tail-less kites, broken strings…

Flood levies, 10 minute meals, pain relievers, endless summers, shorter winters, the friendly skies when they were friendly, baldness, hair growth in the wrong spot, wind falls, old lotto tickets, broken fishing lines, keyless ignitions but where are the house keys?, any finished project – just one, fall without leaves, Friday night football…

Finding my left handed work glove, I set it down to to itch something and it walked away. What in the world am I going to due with one glove, maybe the dog eat it ?

Is there a rhyme or reason for the above list?

Of course, it’s what occupies my pea–sized brain in the morning.

Just as I am waking, coming out of the morning fog, there is a flood of things that parade across my empty skull in the early am, no different than you. But the one thing that’s always there is how our youngest deals with what she has for her entire life… she amazes me and all of us that know her.

So now, the small stuff that I was thinking about like replacing like my car’s hi impact car bumper really doesn't mean a thing. When your mind is spinning out of control then maybe the spinning will stop and you can focus on the REAL stuff.

As for tomorrow? I pledged to stop thinking, period!
for who needs a littered mind?

Calmness In Our Lives

By following simple advice heard on the Dr. Phil
show, you too can find inner peace.

Dr. Phil proclaimed, "The way to achieve inner
peace is to finish all the things you've started and never finished."

So, I Iooked around my house to see all the things I started and hadn't finished, and
before leaving the house
this morning, I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a
bottle of White Zinfandel, a
bottle of Bailey's Irish Cream, a bottle of Kahlua,
a package of Oreos,
the remainder of my old Prozac prescription, the rest
of the cheesecake, some
Doritos and a box of chocolates.

You have no idea how freaking good I feel. Please
pass this on to those
you feel might be in need of inner peace.

Oh, thank you, thank you and I thought Dr. Phil got his "advanced degree" on line or from a bag of Cracker Jacks.

I feel like a new person ( in a worn out body) after reading your moment, good job with all those heart healthy items!
