Musings on anything. |
 My blog was filled up. I'm too lazy to clean it out. So I started a new one. |
| What are five things you believe about yourself? This is an easy question today. I believe I am aging too fast. I believe I am unhealthy. I believe I am financially challenged. I believe I am a Christian. I believe I am a decent, caring, and deep person. I heard a TV spokeswoman say recently that the most important two relationships you have in your life are first with God, and then the one with yourself. To sum up quickly what she said, if you spend all your time thinking negative things about yourself, you focus on them too much and they become even bigger. But you are a child of God much loved by Him just the way you are, warts and all. I would conclude that God loves even old people, unhealthy people, and people on tight budgets. I'm am not sitting at home, waiting to die. I'm pressing myself to keep going. I'm hoping for a medical breakthrough, but not counting on it. I am still outspoken whenever I get the chance. I am trying to make my presence felt. I believe everyone should take the most positive view possible of themselves, no matter what the circumstances. We will have a greater impact on our world and the people around us, when we are in a healthy relationship with God and ourselves. |
| Sometimes I toy with the idea of inviting special living guests to dinner to hear them speak their minds. I'm sure the question has been asked many times before, but my list keeps changing. I finally decided ten was too many at once. I wouldn't get to speak or listen to each of them, so i have fluctuated between 5 and 7, and finally decided on 7. However, the guest list keeps changing. Some of the famous people I admired have died in the last several years. I must be moody. But some are constant. I'd like to have Martha Stewart. Ben Carson, and Keanu Reeves. Martha is enjoying a new wave of fame, doing commercials and hanging out with Snoop Dog, You're never too old to make a huge comeback, even if you never really left. Keanu is just the younger man I have a crush on. Dr. Carson is a genius with old-fashioned values and is a strong family man. Others that I have thought of off and on include Will Farrell- a comedic genius, Dr. Oz, Harris Faulkner, Alton Brown, Brett Baier, Dr. Phil, or Mary Chapin Carpenter. If it's a day when I go to living or dead, I include L Q Jones, Robert Goulet, Elvis, Einstein, Aristotle, Honest Abe, Davey Crockett, . . . You get the idea. Wouldn't it be great to get a personal audience if only for a few minutes? Then, of course, I feel guilty long enough to include the apostle Paul, and Jesus. But I can talk to Jesus any time and He will listen. |

These days I just have houseplants and one lonely portulaca that came up by seed and has bloomed this past week. I've been "home" for three months and the plants have responded well. But, I long for Thailand.
. Isn't it funny how we take things like electricity and plumbing for granted... until we don't have them. Happy for you!
