Monday And Then Some

I wished to write this as there are some new people connected to me and I am a contact with them and for each of you all some of this maybe a repeat but this was my day as well I wanted to indicate my intentions with this blog and how I enjoy it. So here it goes, it's a tad of a repeat but at the same time I wanted to write this and cover some areas that I have no problems in doing with.

Well I am not sure about you but this was a working monday. It's been a day. But Monday's seem to usually be this way. My sister has taken a turn for the worse there are complications that are apparently happening. As well, I hate seeing my folks going through all of this but there is not one thing that I can do. I had one meeting and my hopes are not placed all into one. As during these economic times it's something that has hit here but there are openings within areas that one specializes in and is trained in. So I am going forth with doing all of that with cadence.

In the morning here I got up and started doing one of two things, having a coffee and then taking a brief walk. It's been nice - actually very nice. Then I started doing my search and making calls. Thereafter, I had one meeting which I mentioned, and we shall see what comes from that. As well, I have another tomorrow right at 9am.

On Wednesday, I may have to serve papers to a former friend. As there are some things that came up and I now have to place that to an end. Thereafter I got back home and then after it the day I just layed down and had a rest. So all good things now will come together.

 

Now within this blog here, I know that everyone does things in there own manner and there own way. For those that I have added and those that have recently added me, I am sincere with my blog. To get cover it quickly, I am really am Jack, well John. It's the same thing as William and Bill. I was raised within the US and then I came into Canada when I was 17. My father was there as a diplomat with the North American Air Defence Program. There after I worked throughout Canada within my own speciality leading me eventually back into United States.

Thereafter I came home back some seven years as my father had Cancer. So that is that...I was married and that took a turn for the worse when all this came about.  For a term period I was a caregiver believe it or not as I am appointed as the medical next of kin with my father. Two years ago after six months of several relapses with my father's cancer I was worn out. And I knew that I had to get on with my own life.

I moved to Alberta as I had met up with four friends for a respite in the mountains near the border of the United States and Canada.  At that time I went on to move to Edmonton and I was working while I had a friend that we joint ventured on something and I had calls coming from here back in Saskatoon. So I decided to move back. In doing so, I don't have the problems nor the down times that I had while living with an one old friend whom I may be serving papers to within this week. Pending what the outcome is with something that he has defaulted on.  But most of all I guess I what "Jack" is trying to say is that I have not taking a "U" turn I have gone forward.

It's an enjoyable situation to be able to write your own submission as well as go to other sites. There have been some that I have talked too. As well there are most that I have not. I enjoy this as something that you can just place out your own thoughts - with that said I truly write in an authentic manner. I am not some super egotistic on my blog but you will find that there is always a thread that it all connects in some manner. I think some of you by now realize that - actually for those that do know me, they do understand. It's not all bad and the glass is not half empty, it's rather good regardless of the challenges that one takes within life.

Now and then in a fun manner and don't get me wrong  as starting off as a young kid as being paid part time as a marketing coordinator of a small shopping centre I love the experience of a collaboration. I do belong to one group, but I used to have my own. But there came a time that I knew that you could not do everything in one day. Nor does this sway me away from life. As I am not an isolationist - I am very much too the contrary. This all being said, I do get to blogs as time allows but I can assure you that my intentions are authentic. I can't reach out and touch you nor are we around a table all talking about things. But within the spirit of the dream of thought that do come from people from all different parts of the world. It's something of a sensational vibe. I don't push nor do I shove my thoughts but I lend them within a blend of ~why not~ as within those words each and everyone of us has our own possibilities within life.

The rules of life tend to make up whom we are, but at the same time some are flexible enough to see beyond.  I will write something that is not fiction, and then I love to write with regards to the some of the things that are going on in our lives.

I am very pleased with my decision with what I have done as of today. Certainly we all do have our own dreams. Photography I love so much. But regardless of the economy I am working within my means not my wants. As if that was the case I would have a new camera like right now.

Last but not least, I do wish to thank those of you that have come to be good friends. I don't think that you would find me any differently that what I write. As well, as now and then there is an audio but to set it all up is something that is work. And right now this is about enjoyment.

So this is not a cheap sell of my own persona. It's truly whom I am, and I certainly do appreciate some of the writes and when some are let the walls down on this internet and don't judge. As we all have that significance of things that are happening in our own way.

For myself, I do have some other goals that once I get to a stage I will start. Which will be offline and online as an advocacy. But everything in life is just as it is. Sometimes there are the ups and downs of doing what we all do within our day. For myself balance is that key that allows things to gradually gain rather than the other.

Certainly I am drawn to some more than others, but what unfolds within a collaborative is something that happens when people have that chance and by way of there own means.

I better end this as I wished to do a few things that nowadays many would call only - tags, my tag is life and vantages that I write and others I read. We all do it in our own way. That does not take any extreme religion. As I am a moderate, as some of my pictures do have a regard to faith. But faith is something in which we all do have our own placement. I have never returned to United States since I have left New York. I honestly did work in two places as I was a consultant - one was in the twin towers for a international company and the other was with regards to securities. But what I have found over time. Is that we my offline friends that literally span all over Canada and my old friends from United States that are all scattered all over the Eastern Coast are literally so alike.

Now as I look up I realize that I have wrote so much. But it was done with regards to the new people that have requested to connect and as well the new people I requested to connect with and that all said - it's fun and it's sensational.  It's not life but in this day and age it's a part of life as I know that every person that I know has a computer and it is not without a connection to the internet.

Otherwise we would be using a typewriter.  I really does not matter where we all are from, all that matters is whom we are. Fantasia is not my cup of tea, I enjoy it for what it is and I welcome you and in the words of Martin Luther King, "Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.” Peace People To Each and Everyone.  There is no mystery in what we write or whom those that by way of our own rights we have the ability to make choices.

If I lived right now in a world of wants - I would be in Washington today but my cousins daughter is...lucky young one doing her masters in Political Science...

  1. Hey, Jack. I am back around for the time being. Am busy trying to catch up.

  2. Great Norma I will see you tomorrow as I am heading off in a short period of time but will see you tomorrow. Send what you sent me before if you wish as I am on a new computer and it was formatted three times. So I don't have what you had sent - what is understood does not need to be discussed.

  4. Lol Jack. I admire your ability to be so circumspect. I have decided to wait until we get a chance to catch up. Hmmm, I thought of something that might be,ummm pertinent, but need to ask a q, first.

  6. I have some new contacts and periodically it's good to make mention I feel. I am happy with it and I just wrote it out as it came to me. As there is some validity in whom we do blog with and so forth. My day's work is done and I arrived home and I am enjoying these meetings when the come up.
    The only thing is that I missed the Inauguration of The President of the United States. An amazing day in the worlds history.

  7. A great resume of who you are and what makes you tick. Well done.

    I spent a good part of my day watching the inauguration of Barack Obama, the new US president. Both Obama and his wife have such charismatic personalities, watching them was a pure delight. I'm sure that he will live up to the people's expectations.

  8. Lise, statistics canada did several questionaires on the new President and most said they wished our Prime Minister will adopt President Borrack's policies on not all but many issues.
    80% would rather have President Obama than Prime Minister Steven Harper.
    I don't think he can live up to all the things that he has promised but he is working within a congress that may change now that they see how much the people love him. The hardest thing in United States is getting bills past in congress just like in Quebec's and the rest of Canada with the Parliament.

  9. I should have said that he will live up to the people's expectation as best as he can. It's obvious that he won't be everything to everybody but he will do all that is in his power. He has a lot of good people on his side.
