Delivery

I wonder what this boyo has to deliver or say to me.  Greetings and salutation, probably not.  I am not sure how many more messages are that important to me.  Everyone around me has seemingly centered into themselves, not even available for that hypothesized one minute.  Most conversations are monologues as the other' tunes into their own internal dialogue within a minute or so.  Watch for it, the drift in the eyes. 
So say what you have to say quickly before the rest drifts off in the breeze.

And waiting

Waiting, and waiting, and waiting...
Time to get off the hillside and get down to the shore or docks and wave those ships in.
"Opportunity doesn't knock if it doesn't know where you are."

Winds of change

There might be a change in the air, even so this Queen is steadfast in who she is and what she believes to be right and wrong.  Well mostly.  That bird flying out there somewhere is that niggling thought she had about her absolute convictions. 
Sometimes we need to just sit with ourselves and re-evaluate a position.  More than likely we will find that we were correct in our firmly held beliefs, but a check in with oneself is always a good thing; then that niggling thought can drift off in the breeze.

The Upper Hand

Getting an upper hand on the beasties of doubt, fear, anger, anxiety.  All those emotions boil down to fear, but express themselves in a variety of ways.  I was watching a video the other day featuring Pete Egoscue who presented an interesting thought on anxiety.  Anxiety can be calmed by deep breathing, but he suppositioned that anxiety could be caused by shallow breathing.  If we would focus on breathing correctly, perhaps most of those issues would not present themselves.  Instead of counting to ten, best to take ten really deep breaths; and if I am knowingly going to encounter a difficult situation just do some deep breathing before entering the fray.

Review

Today I see the Dancer glancing back and it reminds me the year is coming to its end.  Three weeks or so we will change out our calendars as a new year and a new decade begin.  The decade thing is a point of perception; some see zero years as an end and others see it as the beginning.  I have always seen it as a beginning, considering the day I was born was day zero and the next was a celebration of completing a day.  So it is a time of review, not just about the year that is completing but end of a decade.  It is not a completion of a decade in my calendar life, but the World in general.  Where did we start in 2010, mostly coming out of the recession and rebuilding.  So what has been rebuilt?  In my life, community, the nation, the World?

Can or Can't

"Whether you think you can or you think you can't, either way you will be right." ~ Henry Ford
When we want and or need change, the decision is entirely our own.  You can make excuses or get results, but I don't think you can have both.  Do it or don't.

Medicinal brew

I was reading an article yesterday about Bay Leaf hot tea; as a homeopathic tonic.  I think when I am out later today I will pick me up some bay leaves and give it a try.  Give it a week or two to see if the brew makes a difference as a preventive or to my ongoing inflammation issues.  If so I will share a cup or two with others.
