Patients Please

"Please Be Really Patient with yourself" I read this on a differant blog and wow did it resonate with me. I often have great expecations from myself and though I know I'm slowing down and can't do as much as I did when I was in my 20's or 30's at my current age of 60 keeping patients with myself is important. How do you deal with patients?

Getting There


 A week ago I took a brief visit to Chicago to see family 

We haven't seen each other in person for such time. Being the youngest of five siblings its important for me to be with  Mom and my sisters and brothers.  I flew into and out of Chicago O'Hare airport and there is a light rail train that gets people to all the terminals

It links people together as much as my visit with family

What links you together with whats important?

No Waiting

 What are you waiting for? Why are you waiting for something to happen? What's keeping you from making something happen?


No more delays. Opportunity doesn't knock twice. And since it's at your door right now, take advantage of it...NOW!

Outside the Circle

 How many times have you heard "Think outside the box?"   I know it's a phrase often used to inspire new thinking.  Look beyond the boarder is another way to say the same thing.  I particular like " reach beyond your circle.  

Circles have power! There's the Circle of Life.  Circle the wagons.  Will the Circle be unbroken.

I tend to live in a circle not a box. All around me are friends, neighbors, work mates, family. We 'circle' around each other in our interactions.  


I'm asking you to reach outside your Circle and expand something. Expand knowledge, awareness, abilities.   Can you wrap your thoughts around this?

Kind Gesture

 I started this blog due to reading and hearing so much non affirming messages we/I hear from the news and Facebook, Instagram, etc.  

As angry as I am at the current situation in the USA with legal changes that I don't agree with I'm reminding myself and the readers, you, that staying kind will help keep situations in proportion.


A kind thought and a kind word can mean so much. Start with kind thoughts and the rest will blossom




What are you doing to remain kind?

Never Mind

 Those of us who remember Gilda Radner on Saturday Night Live when she portrayed Emil Latilla who who say some thing that to her seemed way wrong. Chevy Chase would tell her that she got the concept wrong and would end the skit by saying "Nevermind" 

Example this is about "Violins on television"  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZLeaSWY37I

Right now as the USA becomes more divided and sides being taken are drawn with thick lines it's easy to lash out and comment on social media. Getting into an argument on these platforms won't settle a problem. It only infuriates people and nothing changes.


I'd rather take action when I vote than scream out online.  This is one of those times to say "Nevermind" to people who won't think beyond the hate

Doing Change

 “What are you doing now that you would like to change?   That's a question I heard in a meeting today and that got me to think, just what am I doing?   

I spoke on this exact topic years ago. Change can be hard since we/I prefer something constant.

Regardless change is inevitable.  Currently I'm looking to  purchase a home. I've been a renter for my entire adult life.  The prospect of home ownership and all that goes with it has me a bit frightened. Still I look and will be a home owner. That will bring a new set of challenges and changes.


What are YOU doing now that you would like to change?
