September 29- October 05 2013

 

Okay I know this journal is going to be very boring because I am into edit mode and totally focused. My apologies :)

Sunday 29- temps into the 90s.

I did my stretches, jumping jacks and deep knee bends.

Sherry dropped by to say howdy.

Worked on book...

Monday 30- 90s

I did my stretches, lifted weights, ran a mile and a half with 1.5lbs around each wrists, core trainer, and punched the heavybag for five minutes.

Worked on the book!

Tuesday 01- Temps still in the 90s

I did my stretches, yoga, lifted weights, ran a mile and a half with 1.5lbs around each wrists, core trainer, and punched the heavybag for five minutes.

I worked on the book...

Wednesday 02- nice day, temps in the mid 80s with a nice breeze.

I did my stretches, lifted weights, yoga, ran up and down the hill carrying 5lbs in each hand, core trainer, and punched the heavybag for five minutes.

FedEx delivered my HP LaserPro 1606DN Duplex printer.

Went to help Sherry hang her new TV set but the hanger from the old set didn’t work on the new one because of the connection came straight out and not off to the side like the old one. We still hung it on the wall until we get something better. Afterwards we went to the Sizzler for dinner and then to Walmart where she brought a hanger that would work that I’ll use next time I visit her.

When I go back home I worked on my book!

Thursday 03- cooling down temps in the low 80s.

I did my stretches.

I went for my evening walk and met a new neighbor called Billy.

Worked on the book.......

Remembered 15 minutes before it came on that “Elementary” is on TV tonight. It took me that long to figure where the channel was on this new TV I don’t watch that much.

Friday 04- cooler and windy!

I did my stretches, lifted weights, core trainer, and punched the heavybag for five minutes.

I hooked up the HP Laserjet 1606DN duplex printer.... WOW! I printed out book two in book form! That’s not good for editing I found out, but it is great for reading. I will print it out full letter size tomorrow. Continued to work on editing book 2.

Saturday 06-

I did my stretches.

I updated the Copper Mountain Mesa Website and sent out the Newsletter.

I printed book two out in letter size both front and back (duplex) and it is just perfect for editing. I prefer to read and edit from paper first and then make changes on the computer to the book. I continued to edit...

***** Stuff I Wrote this Week******

Sleep with dreams of dolphins sliding, down indigo waves of silken seas. Feel the spray of ocean's longing, against a love lost to me. Woven in threads of recollections, love and tenderness from the past. Seek those times of never yearning, may a true heart rest at last. Be gone the fears of all foreboding, for there she visits me in my dreams.

Yes, keeping the enthusiasm going gets harder as we grow older, but we still plug away at life. We still keep trying to make a difference, to find meaning to it all. We struggle, we fall, we learn to pick ourselves up and continue on with our life’s journey down an unforeseen road that some say goes here and others say goes there. But I choose to find my own way, make my own path, and should I fall, I fall on my own account and not on someone else's path I took.

Someday we will have a moneyless society and eliminate greed that causes this destruction of our world.

Oh it probably won't happen in our lifetimes Glee Berger, but the day will come when we all realize money is an illusion and greed is a sickness that can be treated. Once we change our thinking and believe it can happen, once we take the steps needed towards a moneyless society we will be far better off than what we are doing to the Earth now; destroying it bit by bit with no where else to go...

Just keep trying on them projects of yours. Even though you think you gotten bored or some event happened in your life that kept you from them and you had to moved on to something else doesn't mean you can't go back to finish them at some later period in your life. Just keep plugging away at them and eventually I git them done

When I was a child I had a few imaginary friends, and now that I'm all growed up I have many more that I love and care for.

I am not a very religious person, but I do believe we should have respect for other people's beliefs. I also believe that if I was religious, I would want to find out all I could about science to understand God better.

There's a steep hill that runs alongside my home here on the high desert. When I first moved to this beautiful desert community I could hardly run up a quarter of that hill before I’d have to stop to catch my breath. I kept at it and over the years it has become nothing for me to run to the top and back down. I also run a mile and a half a few times a week, where before I could only run a half mile, and now I can even do it in 109 degree weather.

So what I'm saying is; keep on doing whatever it is you have set your mind to do. It may seem like a pain and struggle right now at this moment, but at the end of the day the rewards and benefits are well worth it.

Our lives are filled with little bits of memories left behind here and there. Telephone numbers written without names on backs of matchbook covers so old that who it was is lost to us for eternity. Bits and pieces of our lives scattered around our homes and cars. Glove compartments, behind seat cushions, stashed inside books and bottoms of drawers are magnets for our little tatters of memories lost. Messages to ourselves, beginnings to poems, songs or stories, an old shopping list forgotten and left at home to gather together in small collections here and there across space and time to be rediscovered, pondered upon, collected and put off to the side to start the whole process over again. If not for these little scraps of paper, these messages to ourselves across the years concealed in hidey holes of our subconscious, we’d never know what’s been lost to us from ages ago. Little scraps of paper, memories of our lives.
