When we Focus...

When we focus on the things we have in common we find the functionality is rendered. Isn’t it really about embracing what we have in common?  “Sugar and spice and all things are nice slugs and snails and puppy dog’s tales – I recall these rhymes from the past but forget where they come from, so we ask each other whom are we? Chances are we all are a bit of everything as we are human. As the saying goes in Spanish “no perfecto est perfecto”.  It’s true that women and men have differences, there are differences within different cultures. I would be a fool if I thought that everyone has perfect ideals, or live in a state of perfection. But some would wish us to have people believe that we are separate species or from another planet, yes as some would wish us to believe. That’s certainly not my cup of coffee nor tea.

 

If we embrace those things we have in common and accept what is different, we might get on a whole lot better on this place called Earth. Easier said than done – but certainly can be achieved.

A relationship is, if you like, a team made up of initially two people, whom both bring talents and skills and resources to the relationship. And what of the things does one have in common? When there is a collaboration of thought of several – there is authenticity that comes to the table. A regard with what is mentioned above. Sharing in a manner that has no perfection – as I am not perfect nor are you. We all make mistakes. However that has a large difference to imposing ideals and telling people how to do things.  I know an online blogger, well a human being behind a keyboard that has had a continous motto of “We can do This”, I think the meaning says something we all understand and relate too, Ironically in my other old Y360 blog there was my own motto of “Why Not”, where it was thought of in a manner of sharing and gaining insight. And within there somewhere is relevance.

Yet we all write on various areas.

 

Are we all in this together within the blogosphere? I am not sure on that one. I find that there are the postulations that take place, but all that I know is that I write in a manner that I find tremendously interesting. Besides people can judge and understand what is and what is moderate.

 

Different vantages from people from all areas of the world are tremendous, for myself I try to get on here and my first choice is writing - as time goes on it seems that's turning out to be the manner in which time gives allowance for.

However, with regards to vantages with people from all around the world - I could be way off here - we all are have our ancestral backgrounds that we come from, coupled with the fact that we live not only in a global world, an ability with regards to a globalized internet experience. 

 

As time goes on – I don’t think that we are a people that segregate and live within our own kind. To be honest with you I think that is a thought that is far gone and the reality of life is that we don’t And then as far as this area of colors and segregation. I don’t see where there is a need nor importance with one against the other, I do see the validness for the desire to hold onto the values, just as any other color or culture as I do believe there was a old song once written by Lynn Anderson, which was, “Put Your Hand in the Hand”.  I am certain that there are some songs that have the same meaning in several different cultures within different cultures.

 

My earlier post was regarding Imagine, and I never right in fiction, but I do enjoy writing and blogging as time allows. The picture here is May, take a look there - she is no different than You or I. She aspires to do the things in life that we all do.  And that's where I say why shouldn't it be as such.

 

 

Sunday Poetry

John Lennon wrote about a Revolution, he also wrote about Imagining. This one is from my old Y360 blog, and yet it still stands for something.  I believe so.  I write with the idea that somehow within some manner we all have an impact.

Think about the people that are dealing with things. Think about the people that suffer. In Iraq right now there are mother's and children that wont leave thier homes. In Africa there are people right now that are starving and dying right this moment that you read this. In every place on this planet there are people that are just getting by. Right now there are people that are looking up regardless of where they are and they are asking why.Why has there always been a situation where we have a God, but in God's name we have hate? I do believe in a Spiritual Being, but I ponder why?

I wrote some time back for a young lady that was living during very hard times while at the same time for a Special Forces Major. I know she is still alive, I am not sure if he is. Regardless both of them were ordinary people in life. Both desired freedom and a return of some peace. 

This is from my old blog but I still believe it stands with some worthiness.

Day In No Day Out

She wakes up and it's the same thing
To try to maintain a ritual
Or routine or any kind of thing
It's not a fight against any country
A plight of her own
There's no paper at her doorstep

On the way to a market
She gets the necessities
While walking homebound
She does not shudder anymore
To the bombing from either side
She has seen too much
But yet carries a smile

Yet she looks into the blue sky
And does hope
That peace will survive and prevail
Not just for her land but for yours and mine
It's what keeps her motivated
But just like you and me
Only for a while - she is human

But the question is when
And it's now
Each and every day
Ironic as some of us are thinking the same
Irony and reality yes
For her and for many
The passives – the ordinary
Can be extrodinary
She lives over there what is there?

She has some of the same tastes
She has some that are different
She would love to share
But she is shy
To make any statement
As it could be shunned

Yet ironically she is a-cultured
And maybe the monuments standing
In all different lands
Stand for what she is about

However the fanatics and ignorance manipulate
They do no service rather make for disrgrace
Isnt it supposed to be for the good sided
of both sides of the coin?
Probably so but the coines toss to those
That wish it to toss only one way
Greed on both sides with power manipulation

The cat is on the cupboard
It wants to go out
So she softly puts him out
But watches cautiously
Till he is back in
And cuddle again
A warmth that is random
And while the electricity is down
This is the only feeling of warmth

The curious young lady ponders
The day of being able to travel
The day of waking with a normal way
Where the day is greeted with coffee
The birds and the sun.
She has the desire not be judged
Based on fanatics from both societies
And media that play the bend
And when will she and so many others
Be afforded the chance to mend?
And not be judged by ignorance
Rather with grace

In a revolving cycle
The corridor of peace
Is around the corner
She isn't sure of this
Nor anyone else

This young lady will have peace
If we can have peace - certainly she can
The ability to do what she desires
And when god is such a
Bad word coming from them
Many of "them" use it in the same
Non-fanatical manner that you and I do

With Gods speeds my dear
Keep your chin up and don't shed too many tears
For the ones that speaketh usually do take it away
And that is universal saying
Not just Iraq per se

Martin Luther King once said
For the black people in America
"I have a dream"
His dream came true
So shall this one dearest May
For you and for
All the good of mankind

Dr. Martin paid a price
But the dream did come true
The sun does shine

The Major is Home

Coffee is ready in the kitchen
Hearing it saying welcome home Rog
And as you look out the window
There is the land in which you know
It's the land you have grown
The trees, the yard, the land it's all there
And in a way each is casting a smile
Welcome back

Another sip of coffee
There are the kids
Thought you were up early
Before everyone else
Not the case
But Dad has a surprise
Happy loving faces
Those are your own
Radiant young faces to see their Father
Even with those twins
Dad is home

Another sip of coffee
Mom is serene and content
A kiss on to your loved one
And then to the entire clan
My this kitchen has taken a family stand
Looking eye to eye
A few tears in some eyes
It's all good as this is the life

Another sip of that warm coffee
Bill has the same problems
He just called on the telephone
Yes that same old equipment
You helped him during your time off
Seemingly are back in need of fix in
But that's not his plan
He just wants to see ya
And shake your hand

The last sip of that coffee
You're back at your own land
Something's never change
But it's all good

You carried out your missions
While taking care of many peaceful
In another land
You found the good
The people, the mothers, the daughters
And all the peaceful
And you found some of the bad

Most of all you finished your coffee
And understand that you did what
You were called upon doing
And now you can sip you own coffee
From your own coffee mug

The cup is put down
Time for a hair cut, heck no
Time for some music and some visiting
Maybe this first day I'll take the wife for a drive
Around the state
Or to the nearby cafe and have lunch
~ jgs

Winter Wonderland

Some humor regarding drastic cold weather:

 

1. It’s like sticking your head in a flour sack to get away from a tornado. 
2. There’s so much salt on the roads you get high blood pressure just taking out the unplugging your car.
3. It's colder than a polar bear’s pyjamas on the shady side of an iceberg.
4. So cold this morning, after my dog went out for a pee, I had to chop him off a tree trunk.
5. I went there and back to see how far it was but I was more concerned with here while going there as my body went numb.

Hmmm, winter wonderland huh/eh?

 

This Sunday (today - as I think it's just a bad dream and I will awake and it's Spring), we are in the midst of a harsh cold front. Regardless of how you look at it some people will say there is a difference between a dry cold and a wet cold.  The way I see it – it’s simply very cold. They were forecasting it would move in tomorrow. However it came today. And according the weather channel it’s not going to be going away for the next three days.

 

Up till now the weather has been rather mild. The drastic change comes each year just around this time and then it slowly starts to warm up. It all makes me think about how our

grandparents and great grandparents could do this.  They certainly didn't have much for warming things up except for keeping the stove on.

 

Out west here, I don’t know how people do it. Even during the mild times I just really don’t care for winter. It’s just a very drastic cold that many say we become immune with. How often I will get a kick out of the old saying “ we can get so cold in the winter and then so hot in the summer – that it builds character or we all are completely crazy.

 

Mohammed Explains The Winter Ice Festival.avi

While I was at this festival at the front entrance there was the a courteous gentleman that was greeting everyone, I had ran into a few others that were there taking picture on with tripods as well, as they were part of an amateurs photo club. When I was about to leave, I pulled Mohammed aside and asked him if he could explain what this Festival was all about. He thought (you have to kind of laugh), well he thought I was some person from some media, news or otherwise and was kind of taken back.

I indicated to him that I just like to write on various things - so he was a little nervous and taken of guard but thereafter I think the audio came out well, and we exchanged emails as he wanted to see how it came out. So he kind of explained this much better nervous or not...it was a very nice festival. Within the cold my camera was freezing up so the pictures didn’t come out as nice as I would wish for them to be, but I think that Mohammed did a great job in explaining
it.

Winter Ice Sculpture Festival

It's a community event that takes place in one part nearing the downtown. All the donations go to some foundation which I did not get the information. But several different people participate in a manner in creating something out of ice to celebrate during the late January for a duration of a few weeks.

You Don’t Need to Keep Checking That Your Singing from the Same Map

It’s obvious to say that we need not worry with regards to age, as there is nothing that one can do about it. It’s inevitable. So within being young should there be a rule to stay young? Well, growing older physically and temporarily at times is something we all have to do and putting it off is pointless.

 

All the things that we do know are not exactly the same as when we were in our 20s. I was reading the newspaper today and there was a story about a chap whom had taken his father backpacking in the Greek islands. His dad is 78 and he said that he had trouble keeping up with him. Now that’s staying young.   There is a woman I know in her 70’s that describes how she feels the same inside now as she did when she was 21. And it shows outside. It’s something more than just staying young. It’s probably due to several things.

 

Who says you can’t try new tastes, new places, and new styles and come to have a “mind shift” in which you don’t just sit and do the same thing each and every day.  It’s not going for safe options it’s being abreast of what is happening, not giving up things because one thinks they are not able to do it.  If your young by way of age ~ pondering that one here myself ~ but one day you will probably come to ponder on it.

 

Staying young is the ability to be in a state of mind that takes on things in a manner that is enjoyable.  Each person is different and each person has different situations going on in their own life – yet the ability to gain in the areas of life that one desires is something that only does come to be complicated. And so very often that complicated ponder is held close to the heart waiting to unveil itself with another – which leads to friendships, trust, and all that was mentioned before.

 

Today I had the pleasure of speaking to a man that runs one very great company. Within our talk we were sitting and sharing different thoughts with regards to work and what this company was doing and it lead into several other things in which we share. He loves photography, his girlfriend is from a city I used to live in and he goes there each month. And we left off with meeting up again during lunch.   I asked him a question with regards to the people that he has working for him. And how he views the manner of society and where it’s going. He indicated to me that he has seen so many things that he really does not have any understanding of it all, but if I was to sit amongst it all he said that he is sure that I would come to a very quick understanding on how people seem to be, and added a few things and we had a laugh. We were not talking about the age of people but the way of people. Not in a cynical manner as this was a really good chap, he had started off working in one area and it lead into several other areas. As far as he was concerned  - life is an easygoing thing. At the end of the lunch I was leaving and he asked me if I kept my camera with me.   We both laughed, as it was something that we had in common, and within the hobbies and things that we take on, we both had something in common. A small worked if you ask me.

 

Being around the same age, when leaving his office I could see that he had a daughter – so he must have went through a divorce, but yet he moved past it.  Why did he, probably there was no choice, why did he have an attitude as such – I think part of it was that he was comfortable in having a conversation on business which led into other things.   Interesting enough his company is one of the largest companies that services commercial airlines in Internationally.  But his life was not based on the company, it was based on his lifestyle.  Hence, we all do have a common thread. Not everyone, but some of us within what we write. And how we tend to writing.  As it’s all in the manner in how we approach things. Aside of that it seems that a cold front is coming - but within three months it shall pass.

Pending Placement

It’s late here nearing midnight and I was reading something with regards to age.  For some reason some people hit a certain age and they feel like life has passed them by or there is that certain something that is missing.  I am not sure of what the age range is within this blogosphere.

 

But I do believe that age does matter. Life does get more complicated far more in comparison to when we were in our twenties. And perhaps that is due to several things. Leading me to another person whom writes regarding people that have suffer situations in life medically and they have it over others in comparison as they came close to facing there own mortality. Just thinking here as we all do age, and we all do have things that happen in our lives.

 

I can attest to that as I have gone through things as well, and I never realized it till much later. Now that I am merging within my own life I literally want it all. But I know that I do have an “Achilles heel” right now where I have to slowly do things in order to obtain what I wish to do in my life.  Yet I enjoy the days and then there are days in which I toss my hands up and ponder what is this life all about.

 

Simplicity. What is that to each and every one of us? Do we really understand that life is a process and that there are things that do happen in which we have to overcome or we can fail?  I am certain that each and every one of us has gone through that period.   And much like people that suffer in some manner and then get past it – there is a second strength within it all.

Maybe some have a harder time than others and perhaps some get over things easier. I am not sure where I am leading with this.

 

I have just immersed myself in several things and now I am re entering life by means of obtaining new friends in a new city. And here to I can say at my age it’s not that easy to be single and meet people all over again.  I may very well be doing a jump from one recent position to another and I am not concerned with that but I guess it comes down to being planted.  I see my one friend whom is married and then I have come into contact with several people that are single. They are not looking for love or maybe they are.  But I think that at a certain age we come to find that we are looking for areas in which we can find enjoyment, and keep our minds off of the things in which we tend to dwell on.

 

I think of when I was young and I know that you don’t just do things the same way. Now here I am asking myself is that something that one should walk on eggshells in doing things. I don’t think so but at the same time one wishes to get involved with something that is entirely outside of work and within some gain in lifestyle. In the winter it’s much more difficult. Yet I have been invited to be on the board of directors with an art form that I mentioned and I don’t even know where the place is.  But then I know I am over thinking it and the best thing to do is  - just do it.  Now that I am in this city – I definitely do wish it was summer time but that will come soon enough – and I guess I am in a transition of sorts.  I have a good friend that is single and he has embarked on things. And then there is a friend of recent that I am just starting to know which is married and he drops by and talks about things and I think to myself he is going home to a wife. Please don’t get me wrong here – I am not writing this for the sake of finding love online. I am just writing this out and getting it off my chest.

 

I guess it’s about placement. Obtaining some placement and wholeness within life whereby one can find that balance that is not a forced situation it comes to be an ordinary pleasant style of life.

How does that come? I guess there are various ways. Most of all I think that it takes some time and taking up the things that are offered your way.  Meaning, friendship, possible love, companionship, and the areas of life that satisfy ones wishes within their own lives. As I don’t think these are needs – or they could very well be – I am not sure on that. But there has to be a way. When you see all your friends are married and have children or are divorced and have remarried – they took on a challenge. I am not sure that is my challenge right now. I think it’s engaging in more intimate friendships. God, how I recall some people going to dating gatherings where you sit and meet other people. Or the rebounders that jump from one person to the next. Nope, that is not for me.

I think that I will start off with being on this board and see where that takes me.  Possibly each and every person is like a part of a tree. You start at the trunk and it leads into various branches.

I guess that has some meaning and perhaps it does for you pending where your placement is.  Time what do we do and what with it?

 

For those that are on this side of the pond – Good Morning. And for the ones that are on the other side good late afternoon.

Drawing Lines

Drawing lines around your self are usually setting up personal boundaries. Those imaginary lines we all draw for ourselves that we feel should not be breached physically or emotionally. Usually we assume many things in life. In and ideal world we never should need to have boundaries. Usually they are created for a reason based with some reasonableness.
But yet we do wish to be entitled to respect, privacy, decency, kindness, honesty, love, and many other areas that make up what we feel we are entitled.  Once in a while I find that just doing things that slowly verifies and vindicates what we may not know. But some boundaries in life are good as it allows one to continue with their own path. Then again, how many people are missing out on the real picture of the persona of whom other people are. We all find meaning by means of relating to others. Today I met one new friend of a friend. I had not met before. I was not sure whom that person was but when meeting - it was obvious that there was a very wholesome, kind person. Now if I had kept up boundaries - as some are shy and often this is mistaken for other things - I would not have uncovered whom that person was. And in the discovery, I knew the person was one of a good nature, but I had not met in person. For one that smiles and enjoys many things - it was obvious to me that there was a worth.

Coming back to drawing lines - I feel that lines are so often mistakes. We assume many things, as life does get complicated - yet we can change that in a minute - when we open the doors and allow things to unfold. In life we all want to blend in, we all have acknowledgement in who we are and what we belong to. How do we belong, I think that we belong in a means of self respect, acknowledging what we are, and as well understanding that we have many new things within our sphere of life.

Two examples here - I spoke to one person (not online) that was very reserve - I could assume that they were arrogant or maybe just shy. OR they had their own lines drawn around them for what ever that may be.  On the other hand, I had a call with a person this evening that was totally open minded, and interesting.  What is the difference between the two scenarios?  I am not sure. I don't even think much regarding it as I have no lines, but I just flow within life. Mind you not with a blank face, but one with a regard to others - but first and foremost a regard to my own self.

Perhaps life is more like a river that flows in several directions in a manner that creates and takes in several areas of life as it winds it's way within the stream.

A Zen Sunday

Today was a very enjoyable Sunday. There has been something that I have wished to return to for some time. That is Aikido.

I started learning the art when I was 13 years of age and I was the first teacher of it at a very young age.

 

Two years ago I spoke with my original teacher (sensei) whom now lives in Cleveland and was a very influential during my formative youthful years.  He had asked me how I had been doing with teaching Aikido and I had stopped teaching it but I had done much with it.  Being the youngest teaching in all of North America and then teaching self defense programs as well as being invited to demonstrate the art.  And as well, many see me as a very determined person, however I am just more conservative and in many ways how I write is within the areas of philosophy and no need of certain elements.  I guess it’s been my positive vice that I left aside – but in many ways I never have as most all that I have wrote has been without shame, it has been with a method, and in my point of view it’s really been a manner where by I love to write in a manner that is not anything but just enjoyment – yet authentic.

 

With all said, in many ways the manner of Aikido and the philosophy have been an integrated part of my life for many years. So when I arrived in this city I looked up to see if there was a dojo and there was the original version of Aikido.  I have never considered Aikido anything other than a spiritual, philosophical and physical art form.  So I was fortunate to talk to the older main instructor and get directions and then go and watch the class take place.

 

After driving within the University and getting lost a few time – I finally found the place. And when I walked in there it was – the traditional style and I sat down and watched. There after I was told that I should have brought my “gi” which is the uniform that you see here. I explained that I merely wanted to watch and during the two hours. I was in my glory as I was in the flow while watching the class take place. And as well, being able to speak with the participants and teacher thereafter. I had not revisited the past, as Aikido has always been something that I hold within myself. The definition of Aikido from English to Japanese has several different translations. But basically it means to be in harmony with one’s center – or within spirit.

 

And yes there is a much to be said with regards to Aikido as it’s not about just the physical it’s about the manner in which one handles themselves in life. Being within a flow has many meanings to it but “within harmony with ones spirit” while at the same time learning to meditate, and as well to do much more than just static techniques.

 

What I was most pleased with was the ability to meet with a group of people that are from different backgrounds and enjoy watching a small class taking place on a Sunday. I have been invited to partake within the organization here – and I have made a few new friends. For me that is where the vertical and the horizontal come together.  Aikido is passive, and as well very deep routed in philosophy.

 

So in speaking with someone for the first time regarding the art, and as well being able to be invited to partake back into something that I have taught people as well as learned more from people many.

 

Aikido is not like most other martial art forms. It was a branch from ju juitsu. The founder of Aikido wanted to break away and founded Aikido, while at the same time a Japanese man by the name of Kano, started a competitive sport at the same time called Judo. However I once wrote as a child while studying the art the following short poem as I recall it vividly and it goes like this:

 

“I am not one two people or three

I am one whole – one whole is me

I am not rugged nor even tough

But I am dedicated to my stuff

My stuff is fast and it is slow

For it’s the soft style Aikido

And it has soul”

 

That was at the age of 13. And still to this day I just know that this is one area that I am going to embark back into. Not entirely in the same manner – but in a manner that I did for years.  Right now the teachings on the university campus are going through a transition as they are looking for a place to have as their own. So within some time I will return back into something I was fortunate as a child to be placed into and thrived in. But I never did it for the “art of fighting”; it’s been an art form for me for many years. 

 

And it remains an art to me to this day.

The conservatory consists of four glass, pyramid shaped structures that showcase plants from arid, tropical, and temperate climates, providing a welcome oasis of warmth during winter.

January 2008 (8).avi

I visited this Muttant Conservatory, it's several pyramid shaped, and glass enclosed. It was interesting to go and see it. My expectations were more of what was in the Royal Tyrell Museam. In taking pictures of it, I found that from the outside was where there were very interesting vantages - yet within it - it was unique.

Muttart Conservatory

The Muttart Conservatory is a botanical garden located in the North Saskatchewan river valley, across from downtown Edmonton.
The conservatory consists of four glass, pyramid shaped structures that showcase plants from arid, tropical, and temperate climates, providing a welcome oasis of warmth during winter. The fourth pyramid hosts a theme that changes throughout the year.

A donation from the Gladys and Merrill Muttart Foundation provided momentum for the conservatory's construction, with the remaining monies supplied by the Province of Alberta and the City of Edmonton. The conservatory's unusual structure, designed by architect Peter Hemingway is composed of four glassed pyramids built around a central service core. The two larger' pyramids are 660 square meters in area, and the two medium-sized ones are 410 square meters in size. Three of the pyramids are devoted to displays of plants from the tropical, temperate, and arid regions respectively, the fourth being used for shows that change with the seasons and which feature massed displays of ornamental flowering plants.

The Pavilion houses plants typical of temperate climes, from such zones as the southern Great Lakes, Australia, and even the mountainous areas of Asia.

~ It's A Value of Sorts ~

It’s obvious our own inner thoughts give value. At the same time that could go into a direction of denial. Or we can think in a manner that will not give way to a direction of value. So within how we think is something ->with some manner that is a dynamic of choice. But we do have the choice of how much we wish to think on some things that are not necessary – as they may not take us anywhere, where as other thoughts do take us places. As with the painter something can come from nothing just by the way of a creative thought or the way of thought. I think sometimes what we fail to see inside is a result of how one makes the choice of how they process everything.

We all have times in which we fail to see from within. I know that sometimes I forget to connect with the power of what is within. So often we will act with our emotions and that will sometimes deprive our own feelings of what can be rather than what can’t be. I tend to think that it’s a balancing act that each person does in their own way as what surrounds them within their life and how they tap into their inner dialogue.

Realization is something that some will deny, and some will come to an understanding. Within a realization of what is, you can then bring about what.....can be rather than what can’t be.

~ Not Turning Around ~

"If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it." Michael Jordan.  Over the past three days I have been to the hospital two times for testings with my legs and blood work. From what came about I have a situation that my left knee has had a fracture along with both requiring an injection of the substance which I forget the name of, however it's getting there and in the last three days I have no idea how or when these things took place, but that is not the point - what is purposeful is in the fact that things have moved much faster than what I imagined. I am not too sure when this took place.

I met with my doctor today’s date and after the last two days going about getting things done he didn’t focus on that but he did say that I have a disposition of anxiety. Not meaning that I am worried and phobic to everything but due to what ever reason it’s something that I will move out of with time. I know that anxiety and depression are very inter related. According to him, I am anything but depressed and then he went on to explain the difference of being placed on a medication for quality of life. So I am on a medication that does not make me tired – it’s a validation of a medication that is necessary. In meeting him, he mentioned all the medications that I could be placed on but he indicated that with the transition of life that I have made. It’s one that will be necessary. As for the legs he didn’t have enough time on all that but he indicated that I am well. And that he was in contact with my other doctor from before and he said that here in this province there can be much more done in a quicker manner with regards to my legs. For myself that was wonderful to hear.

Thereafter I went to get some belongings that were in my other vehicle that I am going to donate to some foundation they have here. And then as well I was able to get everything back to being assembled so that I can go about doing what I love to do within this blog. Picture, I love it, but it’s hard to get about, as it’s a huge city. I know of one particular picture that I wished to get on my way home as now I can do that.

So that all being said I hope to get some pictures this week. As I love taking them. But as of yesterday here we were hit with snow and that coupled with how busy it gets I may or I may not try to get a vantage of a picture. We shall see.

I thought I would mention this as I have a few things in which I do wish to write upon. And we will see where it goes. As for right now, I have a few things I have to do. And it’s going to be an enjoyable evening. As for last night at 4am in the morning for some reason the building I live in and share with a very good friend – we and all the people that reside in here were hearing fire alarms go off – and it took two hours before the fire department understood how to take turn off the alarm system. Ironically, it was a malfunction of a very good system. But the management of the place obviously didn’t know how to deal with it – which leads me to believe that these condos are tremendous and new – but the management has just changed. So rather than having a plan in place before tendering and obtaining the management contract – they are managing a very good complex without the infrastructure of a building management plan. So I think as of today they have learned it – meanwhile I am sure everyone would have liked to have the alarms silenced – but now at least they know they know how to handle it.

I can certainly understand the meaning of resolve. Regardless of what takes place in your life, there is always a resolve – I never believed nor do now in a manner of what is called "victim mentality". As adults we take in what we have, and we deal with it. It's in how we look at things and have the manner of going about living our daily lives. For each and everyone that is different for each. And yet it's something we all can relate to and as well towards.

* The picture was taken last year in the other city I lived in and I didn’t know what I was doing to my legs. I think I am going to curb the manner in how I exercise, or do it in a different manner.

Well it's been a Hump of a Day

I mean that in a good way.

I have fixed my dilemma of earlier and now today I was able to get many things done I am wide open on this blog. I think the only thing that I don't like about it is the "google scenario" but then that is me, I would like to keep it where I write in a manner that is something of some substance.

Aside of this I have had several things going and I am just very pleased that after a journey that now things are starting to shape up and move forward.  I have spent some time in waiting and waiting and now I can enjoy something of with the manner in which I love to write on a blog. Tomorrow is Thursday, the days seem to go so fast, but slowly but surely all things have a manner of doing a cycle and coming back around.

Are there decent people on a blog or within the internet - certainly so, we all balance it in our own manner and do our own writes as we deem fit.  Welcome to some from all different parts of the world. What is so enjoyable is to see and read things that have substantial matter. What this is to me - is something that is best done in writing. 

Yeah I do think so....

Good Morning World How Are You

I thought I would write before I do several things in which I wished to do.  First off-  good morning. Secondly I have changed my configuration to that in which is open to all and I had blocked off some to be honest as there are a few subjects in which I like to write about and thanks to a good friend I was given some advice.

So regardless of where your from, all that matters is where your head is at. On 360 there were some wonderful things done. As for within multiply we shall she. I could list names of people I done some very interesting things with however as of this morning I have mobility, and I have a few things to do - but if  you like to write - I do. I am going to just myself and as far as how the things come out - all that is important is that there was some thought involved with regard.

To each and every person on my blog I wish you the best. And I look forward to hearing from you. Meanwhile I have to have this computer services.

Most of the times I find that in staying true to onself is the best thing on can do - as well as know that they can not be the end all person within a write. But there is nothing like having that first morning coffee in the midst of a time in which it is rather cold!

Peace People

Cadence is the Key

I finally have been able to get things and taken care some of with them this weekend with my vehicle, as well as I have been able to get out. I moved into a recently developed area that the amenities are not as close by as what one may have.

I met my brother for the first time as he lives nearly an hour away in the same city as I do know and as I mentioned before there are some things that you can't change. We are definately different men, he is older than myself however I have in the past lended a hand to him in earlier years and then taken on areas with my parents, in which I feel he was always waiting for me to take care of it all. And now in living here in the same city, I realize how easy it is during times that took place with my family in which he certainly could have taken some part in. As even while I am living here if there is something that comes up whereby my my father passes on - I would be there for a few days to tend to things.

Aside of that my legs hit me like they did this time last year. And that will be tended to soon enough, and I will be running back when Spring comes along. But I must say that there is nothing like being stuck in your home for a long duration.

Finally today as well I was able to go out with a a few good friends and take in lunch and it was tremendous just getting out! (Sounding like an old man here - but it's the truth!)

To understand is to communicate. I find that in any means of immersing with people is great. And with all going well - when I have "wheels" from which to get back on with things in a social manner - I am just realizing how precious it is to have the ability to get out and make new relations, not just within work, but outside of work.

So here again, I believe that everything is regarding cadence, to have some faith structure and as well to know that things are going to change - as nothing ever stays the same - all things do pass. There is a picture not too conceptual but I have done may share of reading.

Peace

Within the flow

Well I have had a few side steps with what I have been doing and I know that acceptance is the key. Why do things happen - are they really for a reason. Or do we conjure up that reason thereafter.

Last week I had several things that came upon me at the same time. And living in a new city I have yet to make those personal contacts that I wish too. Over the Christmas period I was so busy with so many things that I forgot about myself. It really hit me as this time last year my legs gave me a situation that nearly stopped me from walking. This happened and then the next thing was that I was unable to get to transcripts that were necessary for me to tend too.  So for seven days I was not about to pay $100.00 for a taxi - as I live on the outskirts in a new development. I called a good friend of mine yesterday evening whom lives in a smaller town and he said "your in a bind". I knew it and I just accepted it and knew that things would work out.

Now as of today - I have looked at a few new vehicles and I have made my choice and on Monday I have to then get things done. And I will tell you when you don't have a vehicle - my how it's hard to live within a large city.  But it's working out. It seems that it always does.

Making Mutiply into a flow - Why not.

Things do have a way of working out I have talked to a few friends and as well all the things that have taken place these last days will work out they always do.

During this time I hope to write on some diplomatic politics there are a few people that are coming near the end of a long race and I hope to write on that as well as other things as done before.

As for pictures I dont have any of the landscapes here right now as I dont have the ability to get out to some of these places but within it all this is where I do believe we can have the ability to write on various subject matters.

In the last 5 days

Last Thursday I was driving and my vehicle completely went on me. So here I am in a new city - I live on the outskirts of the city in a rather new development.  It's been no luxury and as well during this time of the year my legs went on me. I don't now why so here I have a doctor that I finally found and I have appointments to go into a hospital and have my legs tested and then injected with a substance. And today I just said screw it I am going to go for a long walk. I dressed up went out. I have been couped up here for the past five days and I will tell you it's been the hardest thing that I have done.

I am just accepting things right now and trying not to get overwhelmed with it all as I am waiting to see if there is a way with the engine that cracked or if it's time for a new vehicle. When I think of all these expenses as well it's overwhelming.

I suppose there is a will and a way. As I am just waiting to see what happens. 

I have cleaned up my blog

I decided to make some changes with this blog. I do believe in privacy of what one wishes to say. There were several different blanks blogs on this and without a disregard to anyone by my own choice I have set things into place where I this is a place where one can write without it going onto google (as it does). And I am not wishing to write to the entire world.

I think that makes for a decent manner in which to write. I don't wish on muliply for everything that I write to be seen by the entire network on the internet - some do - I don't. I have always found the to me a meaning full manner of trust and writing in a manner that you desire.

I know by way of chatting very little people in here so I have made that choice.
