Automation?

I am a big fan of Dr. Kevin Elko.

He and his organization have been sending us

"Monday Morning Cup of Inspiration" for many years.

Whenever he mentions a new book or program, I buy it, listen and read it.

As I was reading his Thursday newsletter about the panic and creative parts of the brain

Loved it began to forward it and the email was automatically and permanently deleted.

Most days that is okay, this day it wasn't, so I encourage all of us to be creative and encourage

Those around us to be creative, happy, playful, and to put Joy in the Journey.

As We Get Older

We can listen, learn, plan, work, and enjoy.

Sit and spit.

Personally, I choose line one.

Have fun and be well.

What Would Catch Your Attention?

What I do for a living?

Talk the Talk, no way, not going to let up and give up, no hand shake coming.

No, I will hang in there, and kids, you do it too, regardless,

Check your sources, and our background, do not hire a DJ to be your advisor,  

Unless you are spinning planters.

Listen up, there is a difference between what is TRUE and is False.

That is just the way it WORKs.

We KNOW What Rich People do

sorry.

How Does That Work?

My granddaughter Elizabeth had her sixth birthday.

We missed the original party, pesky colds that would not subside.

Finally around Easter Week, we had the family over to celebrate being well and Elizabeth's birthday.

A great time was had by all, 

Elizabeth who despite being the middle child had no trouble expressing herself, asked if we could use my phone to shop for her present. Love it, the ingenuity of a six year old, no need to go to shop.

Spoke into my phone, "Birthday Present for a six year old girl."

Amazon popped up with six suggestions, the gigantic pink video watch catch her eye,

The paint set her heart.  It was delivered on Easter Sunday morning, not sure who works the 

Amazon delivers on Easter, and thank you.

The kids have had a ball drawing with the pencils and some day may begin using the paints.

Lovely.

Focus, Vision on What it is you want, does that make sense?

My mom, wanted to move up, nicer neighborhood and home.

Now she lives in a beautiful neighborhood, surrounded by loving residents and helpers.

She got what she wanted, kind of..... lose your memory your hearing and ability to.....

At least she got her vision.

Okay, Why, and How are related.

Most of us have less time left today than we did yesterday,

So, lets make great use of our time, moment by moment.

Happy Blessed He Has Risen Easter Sunday

Bible Study, stretching, piano practice, made the green shake, dressed, drove to see

My 93 year old mom at God's little waiting room (memory care unit)

Back home off to church, lovely, took pictures of a family visiting their family,

Looks like teal is the color of the season, atleast for the Lutherans this Sunday morning at church.

Hurrah, Amazon delivered Elizabeth's paint set while we were at church,

Looking forward to seeing them (Zachariah, Elizabeth, Sarah, and their friends hunt for Easter Eggs

By the Texas Pool.

Joy to the World

He Is Risen.

Enjoy this very moment in this day.

Good Friday

Happy to see Elizabeth, sing Happy Birthday, light candles, come up with a present online.

and

Enjoy The Joy of family.

Lovely.

Wow, That Was Amazing

We don't often see hale piling up a couple of inches deep in Dallas, TX.

Yet, last night it happened, oh buddy, did it happen.

So far just looks like lots of leaves fell out of the trees looking forward to an adjuster coming out

To see what he or she or they might find.

Hope you are safe, Happy Easter Week.

Lovely

When All Else...................

When all else fails, often people turn to prayer.

I think we have the order wrong.

Meditate, Pray, ask for guidance, seek the best advice, plan ahead, 

Commit, Have Courage, build Capability, have Confidence (Thanks Strategic Coach)

Pray and pray hard, walk the talk, be kind, gentle and loving,

Not foolish, when attacked, be prepared to defend and eliminate the attacker(s)

Make no mistake about it, bud.

Lovely

Holy Week

Interrupted by bombings at Brussels Airport

There are people out to destroy Western Civilization.

It is a coordinated hatred with elimination in mind.

The sooner we recognize this, witness to these people and shine The Light of Hope on them,

The better off we will be day to day.

In between time, be aware civilization had an enemy.  

This is a sad day for us.

Sorry.

Write It Down By Hand

You and I will prosper as a result and our yards, field of endeavor and lives will improve.

Happy Spring and Ravioli Day

Ravioli Day?

Too funny to be taken seriously unless we have some skin in the game,

None on this end, y'all have fun with it.

Spring on the other hand is great fun, trees, and flowers blooming and spreading seeds,

Such a refreshing time of year, Lovely, just Lovely.

Smile When You Say That

Okay, what can be better than saying, "Hi Kids." Yes, you can have some candy and lunch.

Lovely

There Is Hardly A Moment

Worth Remembering with some people.

Why is that?

It is all about them, no one else in the world matters.

The point of view, lack of perspective, every sentence and act.

Hard to miss worse to be around.

Deepen Relationships

What a lovely red leafed surprise. Love it, and it is in our front yard, nice to see plants spring to life

Now, for relationships, we need what we need and yes, we have wants as well.

Great when we are in balance not so wonderful when it seems to run in only one direction.

Corrective action implemented? Great idea.

Lovely.

It Is Almost

St. Patrick's Day, not sure why green beer and carrying on is so popular,

But

That is just part of being well seasoned, blessed with a loving comfortable home and family.

For those on the prowl, best of blessed luck to you and yours.

Lovely.

Wouldn't You Love To Have?

Another bike? No, but thanks for asking.

Have enough drama and adventure with the Joy of counseling, coaching, and guiding

Clients, and family to not need two wheels to go with our amazing cars, home, 

More importantly Family, Friends, Church, and Work.

Have Fun and Be Well and Safe.

Lovely

Surround Yourself

With People you like,

So said a great coach down in San Antonio, and Dr. Kevin Elko.

What a great idea and fine way to live.

Let's continue to give that a try. Smile when you say and do that.

Love. Lovely

Preparation

Doing it daily? Notice the momentum?

Lovely

Slicing The Ball

Be Square?

That is a golf term about where the club head should be at the impact to the golf ball.

Sounds simple enough and when you watch professional golfers that is what the club head and ball do

Watch the rest of us? That is a comedy of errors and that's okay.

Just relax, get square and enjoy the process.

Lovely

Following Through and Thoroughly, If You Please, Sir

God Bless America.

When exactly, did just getttin by not just leave off the "g" but leave everything and everyone hanging?

For goodness sake, check your work, take a walk down the hallways look at it with fresh eyes,

and

Grow rather than make lame excuses for lazy, sloppy, especially those who do the above and expect

Excellence from everyone else.

Just flat silly, luckily taking responsibility and getting it gets it and pays well.

Lovely

Laps

Thanks to a home with an atrium in the middle, we can do indoor laps around our home 

Did that this morning and enjoyed each of the rooms plus a little Ode to Joy

and

Fur Elise on the keyboard, nice to be practicing again.

Hope your Saturday starts and ends well.

Oh, Happy 5th Birthday Elizabeth Checki.

Lovely

Progress?

One brick at a time no matter what the foundation does, in time......

It will be repaired, or replaced or forgotten.

Yet, someone might take another look and derive a solution.

Think how many buildings in Pisa which stand straight and go unnoticed.

Oh Well. Let's continue to listen, learn, plan and work out plan toward our vision.

Lovely.

The Hits Just Keep On Coming

Thanks for the most interesting places in the world web site and a high school alum posting them.

We have the gorgeous photo to admire and appreciate.

Much like the rest of life which provides us with new adventures daily, wouldn't you agree?

Lovely

Super Tuesday

Means the world to the candidates, and is of consequence to the rest of us as well.

The oddity?

Golly, one party unites behind its nominee, regardless, the other party stays home on principle..

or

Is it Principal, the le is the noun, the al an adjective, except for the school principal.

Golly, just love English as a never ending study.

 Vote, and enjoy the experience and freedom it defends.

With luck, someone who cares about this country and our way of life will be elected.

If not, we got what we asked for it seems.

Lovely.
