Happy Labor Day

I finally went to see "Guardians of the Galaxy" and I loved it.  I loved everything about it.  The music, the story, the attitude, the flawed characters.

It was fun, and it'll be part of my "change my energy" movie list, when I need to get out of a funk.  Don't get me wrong,  a walk and working out is a fine way to get out of a low mood.  I reluctantly admit a good movie can do the same thing.

I'm not good at hanging out on my exercise equipment and watching a movie.  It just feels too disconnected.  When I work out I try to go as hard as I can for the shortest amount of time as possible.

I've been using the workouts from MyThoughtCoach.com for years.  I've taken a break for a while, but I feel the pull to get back into the interval work outs.

    No joke, I keep the clip from the end of baby dancing Groot on my phone. I watch it when I need to take a moment away and just smile. Miss your words. You should get back to what you love and write more.

Savoring the Lemons

I've been keeping up with a blog of a friend of a friend.  It's called " If Life Gives You Lemons, Just Add Vodka. My fight against breast cancer. "  As of today she is on day 151 of her journey.  I've laughed and cried with her and I've been so very grateful for her example. My friend told me about her blog, and said, "It's like she's holding my my hand through this path she is on."  I'm sending love to Nancie and her friends and family out there in Australia. Australia, now that's a place I've always wanted to go.  I've had a fascination with the place since I was college student in Chicago, a time my kids think must have sucked because the iPhone wasn't invented yet. I was visiting a friend that graduated already with a few friends of mine in Pensacola, Florida for spring break.  He told me about his short time in Sydney in 1995. He went to a bar with his friends, and everyone was ready to let off some steam aft...

So much to talk about, nothing to talk about

I'm in a hyper aware (of myself) mode lately.  This one has been coming undone. I keep writing in my journal, "something is happening here, what it is ain't exactly clear."  I believe I have been writing that particular fragment of a song in my journal for years.  (Then the song plays in my busy mind.)  Only lately, as in the past few years it feels more true.  Something has been happening, there is a genuine breaking apart of myself.  Self is dying. I'm talking about the one that was so worried about stuff.  I see how I have stressed about the looks on faces.  Unconsciously I'd worry when I didn't see something.   There had to be some kind of acknowledgment or approval... come on, at least neutral. When I'd be completely snubbed, I'd feel like I was in trouble.  Wow.  I had no f#@&*ing idea.  This concept was running in my head unchecked for, like, ever. I literally set a timer on my phone to relax.  I have been...
