New Day

I think if I were to attribute my success at getting through this time in my life it would be to see each day as a new day.  It is my ability to somehow be able to see each day as a new beginning and another chance to do things just a little differently.  Every day is a new day so that we can get that chance to do what we thought we could not do the day before.  We find the strength we might not have had the day before or even an hour before.

It is a new day today September 30 and even though I haven't done anything special I will go to my lymphatic treatment at 3pm and take care of that part of my health that needs my attention.  Some days that is all I can do, that one thing.  So I put it in my mind that I will do that one thing and do one more thing to make this a new day.

Once I have accomplished making my bed today, giving myself a shot into my stomach and putting my feet up for the swelling I feel like I am partly there, starting from the beginning.  I do what I can and what I am capable of doing.  I make the decisions I can and today I called my insurance company representative to talk about how I was feeling as she left a message for me at least three times this week.  I called the lady about the accident I had in the car and left her a message about not being in a hurry to fix the car given other things on my plate.  I emailed the painter about the estimate to paint one wall in each room upstairs to make the house more appealing if I have to sell it.

Life is truly a new day and a new start each day.  If we just see it as a new day we can begin clean and clear.  We can do our best to do what we can do and not do what we don't need to do right away.  We can prioritize it and we can decide what is truly necessary for us to do here and now and what can wait.  We can just see each day as a new one.  No matter what is going on in our life we can see each day as a chance to start up again and simply do our best.  No judgements, no pressures, no set outcomes, but to maybe pray and take the time to be silent and forgiving.

Today is your new day.  How will you see it?  Will you allow it to flow out of you or force yourself to do things you don't need or want to do?  Will you simply live it as a new day and be grateful for it?  Or will you force it?  It is up to you because after all it is a NEW DAY.

A Seasoned Vs Old Person

Those of you who know me personally might be aware that I don't use the word "old".  I don't think that people should be referred to with a word like old and I believe that as we live longer lives we are wiser and that we can be looked upon as "seasoned".  For me the word seasoned means that we have lived a good life and that we have gone from one season to another experiencing life and the many ups and downs of it.  I don't see the word old as one that honors any human being for their acquisition of wisdom and the things they have been able to overcome.  I for one consider myself a seasoned man not an "old man". There are so many meanings to the word old but the one that I am not in agreement with is the connotation that older is less than and younger is more important.  Unfortunately we live in a world where youth is celebrated and seasoned people are looked down on.  The thought is that younger people are more attractive or that they are m...

Your Skirt Is Over Your Head

I am uncertain as to how many of my readers know what I mean about putting your skirt over your head.  All I know is that my sister once said it and I think I heard it in a movie once.  I do know that in the movie "Mermaids" Cher who played the mom had some great lines about being a woman and just having a good time with life.  In one of those what should be famous lines Cher's daughter played by Winnona Ryder says: "Don't you think yoiiu are too old for that dress?"to which Cher responds with: "Don't be silly Charlotte, a woman is never too old".  In another part there is a stunning young man waiting on their porch to welcome them to the country area where they moved and upon setting eyes on him Winnona Ryder who is Charlotte is mezmerized by him.  Cher suddenly turns around and says: "too bad your hell bent on becoming a nun".  To say that Cher truly pulls the dress over her head is really minimizing her role in this movie that I wo...

Visualize It, Manifest It.

Let me just excuse myself from the non-believers as I know you are out there and the mere idea of believing and then achieving seems silly.  If you are one of these people, you should stop reading now and simply not waste any time because if you don't believe in yourself then you will not understand how manifestation works.  This blog is not just about believing and then getting what you believe in but more importantly how to go from the thought of being your highest self to actually being your highest self. And so if you believe, even a little, keep going because this is about having what you want in life ether spiritually, emotionally or physically.  Here are some ways to get there: Setting Your Intention: The very first thing to do when you want to manifest something (joy, money, relationship) is to set your intention.  You can set your intention by speaking of what you want in a way that feels intentional. An intention can sound like this: My intention is ...
