Autumn within if significance - Part 2




A part two to this series as the weather has been tremendous for this time of the year and autumn seemingly is showing all of it’s designs without any compromise. Yes we are nearing the end of a month. We luster in what within the moment some have a different season, however within autumn there is a different feel. One of colors and most of all one that transcends green to yellow and then from there is a tad of red. All within the colors of the season – how leaves illustrate what nature gives.

One renders the color and yet one is attune within the synchronicity of the season.

It's Nice Weather...

Moving on....it's been very nice weather here. Today I had some blood work done and then went about with walking again and that is basically it. All going well, I will have these results soon by the end of the week. The knees and legs are coming along fine. I have been stretching and then continuing to do these walks and finding different places from which to walk. This is going well. So it's all going well along with the weather and with fingers crossed hopefully it shall stick around for a week or two.

A Few Captions within Autumn 1




Captions that I have taken nearing the end of the September. Not focused on any particular area. Yet it’s nice to just take that time within a period to render some pictures.

Everyone does to picture and here are a few of mine within the landscape of where I reside.

~ Autumn is Within My Step ~

The weather today was tremendous. We finally had a warm front of warmer weather, which is, suppose to last for the next three weeks. It's rather funny how when I returned back here from Montreal all there was flooding and the talk of the town here is that this could very well be the summer that we never had where the weather is well into the mid 70's F. So this is a good thing. I through on my sweats today and just went out for a walk and then went and got some groceries. Rather simple but it was good. So it's a time where for the next week according to the weather we shall be much warmer than what we have been having. So all in all this is good. I have found some rather neat links that I have been going over and last night was truly amazing and rather nice especially when there are so many that are writing it's a creative synopsis if you will.

Autumn there is so many things that come to mind when I think about this time of the year. But within the day it certainly was nice to say the least. So each and every day I am starting out by just doing one hour worth of walking, with good strides and all and I know it sounds so simple but literally it's worth doing. I remember using this term of "spring is within my step". Well, this shall be modified, as it's all going to be within autumn.

As well, I wished to mention to those friends that partook in that question within my notes last week, I could be completely off but I thought I would embark on writing a summary with all that partook.

UN speech prompts U.S. walkout – Part Two

Iranian president declares Nuclear power 'a heavenly gift..American delegates to the UN General Assembly stood up and walked out on an address by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Thursday after he suggested the United States planned the Sept. 11 attacks to protect its own economy and support Israel.Canada boycotted the speech, with Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon calling the Iranian president's comments about 9/11, the U.S. and Israel "unacceptable" and an affront to the spirit of the UN.

In his address, Ahmadinejad accused some segments within the U.S. government of orchestrating the attack "to reverse the declining American economy and its grips on the Middle East in order to save the Zionist regime."

"The majority of the American people, as well as most nations and politicians around the world, agree with this view."This was the second of three viewpoints that Ahmadinejad claimed exist regarding the 2001 attacks, which killed 2,974 people in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Shanksville, Pa.The first, he asserted, was that "a very powerful and complex terrorist group" planned them; the third, that they were carried out "by a terrorist group, but that the American government supported and took advantage of this situation."He said the U.S. used the 9/11 attacks as a pretext to invade Afghanistan and Iraq that led to the killing of hundreds of thousands of people, saying the U.S. should have "designed a logical plan" to punish the perpetrators while not shedding so much blood.

Delegates from other countries also walked out during the speech. If Ahmadinejad noticed, he did not show it, as he railed against American intervention in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as against Israel's "occupation of the Palestinian territories," and negative attitudes toward nuclear energy, which he called "clean and cheap and a heavenly gift."He then announced that Iran would host a conference to study terrorism and ways to confront it, and invited officials and researchers "from all countries" to attend. The Canadian delegation had boycotted the Iranian president during a speech on Tuesday when he addressed the UN's Millennium Development Goals summit."Ahmadinejad's comments on the 9/11 terrorist attacks, on the United States, and the repeated unjust condemnation of Israel are unacceptable," Cannon said in his statement.

"Iran's 20-year history of covering up its nuclear activities requires that the authorities take steps to address a serious confidence deficit. Its non-compliance, coupled with unacceptable statements Iran has made against other nations, is a destabilizing threat to the region, and to the world."

Protest outside UN


Outside the UN, about 2,000 Iranian-Americans gathered on Dag Hammarskjold Plaza to protest Ahmadinejad's appearance.

They carried red, white and green Iranian flags, and red, white and green umbrellas to ward off the hot autumn sun. Some held purple balloons and many wore purple, which one of the organizers, Ali Safavi, called "the colour of democracy." Former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani turned out to support the demonstrators, telling them they had the support "of all democratic people."

"Your goals are our goals," Giuliani said."They are the goals of all democratic people. You want to see freedom of religion … of the press," he went on, to loud cheers. "We must confront tyrants, oppressors, bullies and terrorists as early as possible."

Yeah The Stars and Moon do Shine

Each and every night I do go outside and I gaze into the stars. I have done this nearly all my life. I will always have some thought that comes to mind, even if it's a word. This is not my own picture a friend allowed me to have it. Each and every night I will just look up into the stars and it's a reflection of many thoughts. Not negative but a evening summary within some way shape and form. The greatest philosophers looked up into the heavens and ponder so many things. And we still do it today but within it all there is that comfort of sorts that comes within that silent time within the evening. When everything is just calm and quiet. Perhaps the universe tells us something.

Regardless it's something that I have always done and the sun does rise and set but there is nothing like gazing up into the night skies. It's that time out period where one has to just enjoy and to embrace what is. For if there is one thing that we all do share is we all can look up within the evening sky and literally view the same Moon and stars.

It's rather universal...

 

I hate to do this but can anyone see this as for some reason this template or my server is not working correctly if you could just say test I would certainly appreciate it...Jack

My Mumble :)

Well today was a 50/50. I have some further testings to do with my legs and well I just accept it. The specialist was tremendous and my knees seemingly there is more to it. As well, I am on more of the medication that I mentioned as I have some more testings to do. Yet come tomorrow I am getting out. And doing some things that are long over do. I feel as if today is the weekend, yet it's just a Thursday evening. Have you ever just enjoyed things regardless of what the outcome is? For some reason I am feeling good. I mean usually there is that feeling that one wishes things to be over with but for some reason there I am just going with the flow. However, after this next week is over with I am going to go and see my brother and sister in law. It's a mere one hour trip by plane and it would be nice to do to just have a break. So this seems like a great plan to me, I lived there not too long ago and above is a picture of the city.

So after today, I got the news on my knees, and I just accept it for right now and I am not much for taking this medication but I have questioned the specialist and what is advised is a continuation. So I take this med accordingly, but for the life of me I don't know how some could live within a third world country and not have medical coverage yet from my experience within latin america there was always a natural remedy to many things.

So this is just a brief update on my status, I am fine, not lucid or anything and just enjoying things for what they are. When I was returning home I got out of the car and took just a few pictures and thought to myself, dang it I am going to walk this way and take a few "snaps" from one bridge that connects the east side of the city to the west side. So right now it's kinda like Forrest Gump, I am not much for chocolates but I do see life as being like a Box of Chocolates, except I only like the ones with the marsh mellows inside.

 

Welcoming into Autumn

 

A Welcome to Autumn

Within the equal of dark
And equal of light
There occurs that flow
Within a circle and sphere
Blessed it is
As the transformation
So it flows
And out goes
Three fold back it shall be
Within the equal of dark and light

~ Within Every Moment ~

Within each moment there is a choice. That very option that we make within the day for whatever it may be, yet it’s a choice that leads into another. Within the past while there have been some times in which I have been frustrated and yet relieved. I am not sure what point I am at right now but then when one does not get a normal sleep it will take you a tad off with things. As yesterday evening, I took what was to be a nap for half an hour, which ended up being a sleep that lasted right into the very early morning of today. It’s one thing to be an early riser, and then it’s another to have a complete change of one’s routine of sleep. I guess it does give a new meaning to, "Early to Bed and Early to Rise". ~smiles~

I will be having my medical review with my knees and I hope it’s all well, I know I have to do that push when it comes to the ok with everything and I shall but the waiting game has been tedious to say the least. So there is one side of myself that really hopes for the best and then there is that other side that thinks about the other side of what may be. The main thing here I would like to say but I think I am going to leave it up to the specialist. However, I have done as much as I can and I look very forward to the next step in getting that ok and getting on with it. But within some manner there is that mind and body connection and then some. For which I do render.

After speaking with this friend of mine at work – he indicated that the best thing is just to leave it and just see what comes about tomorrow and then take it from there. So I shall, and I do look forward to getting on with it but it all does not come within one day I know that but at least there will be some time to get out and enjoy things and well I know what I wish to do and set out but right now I thought I would make mention of this as I am not down and out, things like this can blow away ones confidence when things as such happen but I am not bragging actually very humble and considerate but bold with what I believe in.

It’s all within apart of life and tomorrow shall be tomorrow. For today, as the last couple have been atypical but I look forward to a good review, being taken off this pain medication and with all going well having my legs back in order and I do have a plan with that but I guess I am going to have to wait for what is advised.  I thank you all for partaking in that small question of the day.

Canada Walks Out on "Mini-Hitler", During United Nations Address

Canada boycotted a speech by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to the UN General Assembly on Wednesday evening, protesting his denial of the Holocaust and verbal attacks on Israel.

The Canadian delegation, led by Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon, walked out at the start of Ahmadinejad's address. Several other delegations, including lower-level U.S. diplomats, left during the speech. Israel's UN delegation was not present for the speech.

Ahmadinejad's address to a half-empty chamber in New York slammed Israel and railed against the West and capitalism. He criticized Israel for staging "barbaric" attacks in the Gaza Strip last year, and he slammed the U.S.-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Ahmadinejad didn't talk about his country's contentious nuclear program, instead calling for the end of all nuclear, chemical and biological weapons.

Earlier Wednesday, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Ahmadinejad's "absolutely repugnant remarks" previously made about the Holocaust were reason enough for Canadian officials to boycott the Iranian president's address. "There are times when things are being said in this world that it is important that countries that have a moral compass stand up, make their views known," Harper said in Oakville, Ont. "And our absence there will speak volumes about how Canada feels about the declarations of President Ahmadinejad."

Holocaust Denial

Ahmadinejad has repeatedly made comments denying that six million Jews were killed during the Second World War. Earlier this month, Ahmadinejad claimed again that the Holocaust was a lie and a pretext for occupying Palestinian lands.

"President Ahmadinejad has said things, particularly about the state of Israel, the Jewish people and the Holocaust, that are absolutely repugnant," Harper said.

"It is unfitting that somebody like that would be giving those kinds of remarks before the United Nations General Assembly. Canada does not want to be equivocal at all in terms of our view on that. We find it disgraceful, unacceptable, and we’re going to be absolutely clear on that."

Harper said the government is also bothered by Iran's crackdown on legitimate dissent, "the fiasco" surrounding this summer's elections and the continued detention of a Canadian journalist without charges.

Maziar Bahari, an Iranian-Canadian reporter, was imprisoned while covering the election unrest for Newsweek.Harper, who was in Oakville to announce the return of Tim Hortons to the Canadian corporate family, defended his decision not to attend the UN General Assembly. He said it's standard for Canada's foreign affairs minister to be the representative. "My speaking slot this year was scheduled the same time as the G-20 in Pittsburgh, and we chose the G-20, which is what all other world leaders are doing," Prime Minister Harper said.

 

Oh No - That Word called Lying :)

If we could wave a magic wand or make a birthday wish like in the movie “Liar, Liar”. After which everyone everywhere had to always tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, what a wonderful world it would be…just bliss.

~ Yeah ~ OR WOULD IT BE?

What about when she asks, “Do I look fat in these clothes?” As humans have evolved mentally, we seem to have become better and enhanced at being “economical with the truth”. We “contextualize”, yep I made my own word there Contextualize, meaning we shave the truth just a ……a little, so we can’t accuse ourselves, nor feel guilty of out and out lying.

“Liar” is such a negative word really isn’t it – then when one sees the word there is an automatic thought much like a yield sign if not worse as it really does have bad vibes to most all of us as we have been raised to have ideals and this word lying just was not apart of the diction or we were taught that it should not be apart of how we conduct ourselves as we were always to be accountable as well as tell the truth. 

So we rationalize some things just by telling a little bit or a piece of the truth at times in, which we don’t wish to tell the whole truth. I know there have been times within my life that I told a half truths and I am sure that you have as well. Or we just remain as silent as we can be. By telling a bit of the truth but not the whole truth in some areas we do make way, a police officer may pull us over when we are slightly going over the speed limit, and when he or she asks those first questions, we may just ever so gently rationalize or just say a little bit with regards to the entire truth - but we shall keep this all here ok - ok deal.

We’ll say we can’t make it when asked if attending something, giving the impression we’re committed elsewhere or at least there’s a good reason not to go when the truth is that we just don’t want to go, plain and simple. Or we will tell a “fib”, which is theoretically a little lie about something trivial, fooling ourselves into believing that it’s not really a lie, it’s just a fib.

Unfortunately, the triviality of something is a subjective judgment. Then there are what we call, “little white lies”, called that because, in the mind of the person telling it, it can’t possibly cause any real harm; it’s only a teeny little white lie. But, we can’t change human nature and we can’t just wish it so…so, everybody does it. Everybody knows everybody does it.

Nobody can do anything about it because the fact is that it is socially accepted, as against acceptable, to misrepresent the facts as we see fit. And, don’t you just hate it when someone talking to you begins a sentence with, “To tell you the truth”, or, “To be perfectly honest with you”?

Sure we all have and shall within various times within our lives.

The CSA shall be streaming out Northern lights Online

The Canadian Space Agency usually turns its eyes toward the heavens, but starting Monday night CSA will be looking a little closer to home.

The agency has announced a new window on Canada’s northern lights, which begins broadcasting live on the Internet. The AuroraMAX observatory begins streaming images Monday of the dancing lights at www.asc-csa.gc.ca as part of collaboration between the agency, the University of Calgary, the City of Yellowknife and Astronomy North. “Armchair sky watchers everywhere can now discover the wonder of the northern lights live on their home computer screen,” CSA president Steve MacLean said in a news release. “We hope that watching the dance of the northern lights will make you curious about the science of the sky and the relationship we have with our own star, the sun.”

Mr. MacLean said the idea is to demystify the science behind the phenomenon of the northern lights and offer tips for seeing and photographing the auroras. The website will include live streaming pictures of the lights along with still photos and movies from previous nights. According to the agency, the lights occur as charged particles from the sun collide with gases in Earth’s upper atmosphere.

“The aurora is a phenomenon that takes place in the upper atmosphere. The Earth’s magnetic field acts like a huge magnet, and is responsible for attracting electrically charged particles to the north and south region of the globe. The Earth’s magnetic field attracts the particles found in the aurora. When these particles hit the upper atmosphere, they cause a spectacular spectrum of colors to shower the nighttime sky,” the agency says on its website.

The aurora season in Canada usually begins in September and ends in May. It's one site to see as well I am not sure how many have ever seen Northern lights but here is some more information regarding them as follows:

Things We Are Certain With

The other day I received an email from an acquaintance containing a 20 question test of my memory about certain famous brands that have been advertised through the years. I figured I’d do very well and as it turned out I did get a good score, but not 100%. Nope.  Some facts we’re sure we know can turn out to be wrong. For example, I could ask what colour is the black box in a commercial airliner? The correct answer is......orange.

  • What is a camel hair brush made from? Answer: squirrel fur.
  • What was King George the Sixth’s first name? It was Albert.
  • What colour is a purple finch? It is crimson.
  • Which country makes Panama hats? They come from Ecuador.
  • In what month do Russians celebrate the October Revolution? In November. And, how long did the 100 years war last? If I remember my history it lasted 116 years.

Before the advent of the Internet, we’d have to pop down to the library to check these things out but with today’s technology it’s easy to verify that the Canary Islands are actually named after dogs and Chinese gooseberries come from New Zealand. After all, inquiring minds want to know!

Question for a day? If you had one word that would best describe yourself what would it be?

Billy Joel - Just the Way You Are

Just the Way You Are

Don't go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are

Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care

I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are.

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you.

I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are.

~ Turning A Page~

A Mention

I had a group and this is about enjoyment and within a time that there are so many blogs and groups that are out there it was an effort that was much different within mulitply. After today and all I came to find that what I do enjoy the most is just writing and I am not much for the work that is entailed, and as well I have always blogged with many. I thought I would mention this as it was a group that was going to start up slowly within creative things but it's different now adays. As of today I closed up what would be a group and I am glad I did. To try is better than not to try and I thought I would literally delete the group off. It was a private one and a foundation is set by many people but to sit and work at something such as this it's a little much as everyone is within a group and for those that were either part of the process or joined it was something that I will often think about three times and I gave some good thought with this one. After quickly getting the concenus with a few the best thing was just to close this up as I think we all just enjoy writing on what we wish to within our own individual manner...

The intentions was worth it but the time was or the place was not that right. I like to just blog along if you know what I mean...

 

Just for the record...

 

One small needle with a local anesthetic within both knees and then one large one to drain out any fluid that was between my knees and then one medium one that injected this fluid matter called Synvisc. It’s not a cortisone, but it does work and for the next two days the rheumatoid specialist whom I have know for years got it done, I have to go back on Thursday as he wishes to see more on my joints as he does figure that I have arthritis and yet at the same time as he was one that trained with me at the gym wished to go through a serious of things that I should eat. So that is not bad, mind you I am not one for these cheesy medical gowns that they have. Mind you this is something I had done three years ago and although it is said that it only lasts for a year at the best, I finally have had it done and shall have it done again. According to him, it’s a genetic thing and so I have a tad of rheumatoid arthritis and this will have to be something that I work along with it’s not all that bad I just have to lay down a foundation of what I do. And as well, what I eat. Vitamin D and Calcium definitely are apart of my diet. So it’s a good day and glad that this is all over with and that is about it. For any matter there is always a remedy, and sometimes there is a little bit of a wait but finally it’s all done with.

Sunday, September 19, 2010

For the record, I love my blog space on here and am not ever going to give it up from what I love to write. There are some that say one thing but from what I see is that there has to something that is focused and is of worth. I will never take my blog off as I have had it for so many years. I look at the good things rather than the negatives. So I thought that was worth being said on my blog as in no manner am I going to falter on my blog. As it's something that is of worth to me. That all being said - life goes on as it has since the inception of this blog of mine.

Within my Post

I shall just enjoy as I always have within writing as I have always. And I guess this turn another page from me within this blog. And with all that said I did delete my one blog as this is suppose to be of enjoyable things. Tomorrow I shall have my knees done which will be a small day procedure and I am looking forward to things thereafter. To those that enjoy to just write, I still have my own blog and will continue with it I have enjoyed it since it's inception and still do it as well. As like everyone we all enjoy what we write and that has always been my intention.

Peace there to those on a Sunday. A great one to those that still do have that area in which they do believe the very right of freedom and writes as they so desire. So it's been a cool and wet Sunday and wishing those friends the best as we are nearing the end of summer. Again, I have not had the time to take pictures but it's a good thing from which we all do enjoy. So tonight and I think for some time it's going to be some writes that are merely to friends and of friends yeah...

Peace

It's Just a Wednesday...

I have seemingly been feeling a little cautious as to what I write within here. I guess here means within this blog. As or recent, I am finding that it's much better to be much more moderate within what I write but then again, who really is to say what one rights. Today I did head out without a camera just to do my walking and there are a few things that are within my plans but I just leave it up to a day in which is merely the middle of the week. Honestly, I have not been feeling all that creative with writing but my life does not revolve around the internet yet then again just like you I enjoy those thoughts that we share. To just sit and do nothing is something that is a void of grace, to be active within some manner is within some way a good meaning. Oh I look forward to this coming Monday more than many know as what I find is that I have tuckered out a little compared. One can have a cold, flu, etc but where does one fit in within all of this I do literally read postings and I well it's a Wednesday which is rather cool here and how I can't wait till next week is over with and then I just shall bring it up and get on with things. Seemingly since I have been on these two medications I have found that it best to get to bed early and rise. I think we have all been within that spot.

Within reading just now I have seen a thread over the last week, some of which are with regards to some that have negative intentions. All I can say is I have seen it happen and there is often just something that brings about something good.

So I think it's been a day but at the same time one that one wishes and looks forward to what comes within a few days away, that is my knees and then regardless of the weather as now it's been getting rather cool one just dresses accordingly and gets things done and something good emerges....what was yesterday is not within the future and I so look forward to this procedure - literally I can't wait.

Always keep your chin up regardless of the moment as the moment is just within a small portion of time.

Either do not attempt at all or Follow Through with it.

~ Good Morning ~

Well another morning and another coffee. I am so glad that this next week I will finally be having my knees done. Now I know that there have been many that have tuned me out but then there are some that have are not completely tuned off. It's morning hear and merely 6:15 and I so look froward to my knees being done. Yesterday I went for a walk within a part just taking in the colors and thinking about the future. It's something that is very much within my control yet at the same time it's something that there will be decisions as to what I wish to do thereafter. One never does understand that way another is as well all have our very own journey. But I am not sure about you but I love mornings literally. I will wake up and as I have mentioned before I shall place on a pot of coffee as well as boil and egg with toast and at this time of the year one Vitamin D with Calcium. And then one waits for the newspaper person to arrive and then there is something that one looks over and for me that is a great way to start the mornings. Thereafter within these days I have been walking I will always fit it in. Well, I am rambling but it's merely a morning write and I bid those a good morning as well as good afternoon pending where you are.

The Ego, Dr. Wayne Dyer

No one has ever seen the face of ego. It is like a ghost that we accept as a controlling influence in our lives. I look upon the ego as nothing more than an idea that each of us has about ourselves. The ego is only an illusion, but a very influential one. Letting the ego illusion become your identity can prevent you from knowing your true self. Ego, the false idea of believing that you are what you have or what you do, is a backwards way of assessing and living life.

You’ve probably noticed the word AMBULANCE written backwards on the front of a vehicle so that a person seeing it in their rear-view mirror can read it. When you look into a mirror, what you see is backwards, too. Your right hand is your left, your eyes are reversed. You understand that this is a backward view that you are seeing and you make the appropriate adjustments. You do not confuse reality with the image in the mirror.

The ego idea of yourself is very much like the mirror example, without the adjustments. Your ego wants you to look for the inside on the outside. The outer illusion is the major preoccupation of the ego.

The ego-idea has been with us ever since we began to think. It sends us false messages about our true nature. It leads us to make assumptions about what will make us happy and we end up frustrated. It pushes us to promote our self-importance while we yearn for a deeper and richer life experience. It causes us to fall into the void of self-absorption again and again, not knowing that we need only shed the false idea of who we are.

Our true self is eternal. It is the God force within us. The way of our higher self is to reflect our inner reality rather than the outer illusion. One is the ego, garrulous, demanding, hysterical, calculating; the other is the hidden spiritual being, whose still voice of wisdom you have only rarely heard or attended to.” He refers to this hidden spiritual being as our wise guide.

When we learn to transcend the illusions sponsored by the ego, we can access this wise guide. We can invite in the higher aspects of ourselves to function in their natural, loving, and integrated design.

A Group but not a Group

I have thought of renoucing my old group at times as it was a great group and ran by several people, however as of today's date I wish to do what I have wanted to for a long time. I have been invited to more than 15 groups over the last two years. When I closed up along with the concensus of the admins and the membersd. It was something that for a time did continue on. There are several that have come up with themes and I don't want this group to be interconnected within blogs, I wish for it to be within it's own manner. Obviously some have something that is established however I have had a group that survived the test of time and had an array of people from all areas of the world. There was never a competition - actually it was all within writings and so on but as of today's date, I do wish to do something with a combination of authentic thoughts as well as there shall be a place within pictures. I am just thinking over where to place this and then secondly to call the owners of Multiply tomorrow and I wish to do a contra marketing deal, as each month there will be a gift sent to a member. Now there is Danette whom has done tremendous with what she does and well there are several, I have already made contact from a few places within the world as I want this to be very universal and not according to me, I wish to just set it up and there is one that is an editor of a women's magazine that used to be within my old group along with 5 other admins. I don't wish to go backwards, I wish to make something that is private as well as seperate from blogs. So I do need to know whom would like to be part I am not one to push but within this I look at the value....the value that could be. I am not looking to change what I do, but I need to lay out the foundation now and as for the name....who knows. But it's going to be done within simplicity....

 

So if your game, to be an admin that comes to know other admins, and if your game it's not a blog but I guess the intention is not to just be pictures as I thought long ago of something within this area but I think it will have one thing first, and then encompass two other elements at the same time.

 

So again as I had group called "The Initiative.......", now I am looking to see whom would like to just enjoy a simplistic group? Please do state your first name, I hope I get 10 here on mulitply and you literally groom it up and mature with the people as the members are the ones that the admins do understand what the idea is - so it kinda comes to be a good evolving fun process...

 

Name and a yes or now....I am not looking to steal members from PP. I don't need too. What I want to see, is literally creativity as each member wishes...it's not about the group it's literally about what the members feel and members are what makes a group work...

~Wishing you all a great week ~

Simple Sunday within Autumn

Today was just an easy going Sunday. Well what is easy? Many things are easy I always find that it's that pleasure that one achieves when they are doing something. Today as the weather was nice I went out driving around town knowing that I had to be somewhere by 1pm. So For a good three hours I just went around town looking for something that represents this time of the year. Autumn - yeah it's that time of the year and the trees and foliage are all starting to turn colors now and there is something rather nice with regards with it. I don't know about you but as I have said before there is something rather nice within just capturing something. So often I will just drive around and then park and walk and there is always something to find within the day. Mind you there were other things to do but literally it was early within the morning and I just went out and wished to take a few pictures this one was certainly one that represented Autumn as I saw it. So here again it's all within simplicity, and within nature one does find those things that are just catches they eye.

So it was a simple Sunday, and one could feel a very nice breeze.

~Games Some Shall Play ~

Thus the story it may serves some purpose....

In ancient Greece (469 - 399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom.  One day the great philosopher came upon an acquaintance who ran up to him excitedly and said, "Socrates, do you know what I just heard about one of your students?" "Wait a moment," Socrates replied. "Before you tell me I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Test of Three."
"Three?"
"That's right, "Socrates continued. "Before you talk to me about my students let's take a moment to test what you're going to say. The first test is truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?" "No," the man said, "actually I just heard about it." "All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second test, the test of goodness.  Is what you are about to tell me about my student is  something good?"
"No, on the contrary...." "So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him even though you're not certain it's true?"
The man shrugged, a little embarrassed.  Socrates continued. "You may still pass though, because there is a third test
the filter of usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my student going to be useful to me?"
"No, not really...."
"Well," concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is neither true nor good nor even useful, why tell it to me at all?"
The man was defeated and ashamed.
This is the reason Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem.

To each blog may it be it's own, but for those that like to play games, is it really worth the effort?

An Autumn Randomized




The Power of Association Part 2

A friend is someone who has your best interests in mind, in case you didn’t know. Be sure that they really do have your best interests in mind. If they are better off than you and still choose to hang with you, that’s always good sign. In other words, seek out the friend that chooses you even though they could choose someone else.
They don’t have to be an old friend. In fact, if they are a new friend, it’s even better.

Here is the point. Your friends see you differently than you see yourself. They really don’t know you but there is this think in which we call respect and of value. New friends, especially, wear different glasses. New glasses. They’re not all stretched out or scratched up, and the prescription is still just right.

So before you start thinking about yourself negatively, borrow your friend’s glasses. Really hear the encouraging words and let them sink in. Claim them. And then thank God for another day. I thought that this was a good write from a friend as during writing over the weekend just when you are offline. I was taken out of this group that I belong to and I forget what the message said but it was a very intelligent one that was basically just looking to blemish me – yet really when it comes down to this – this is for enjoyment and expression. Hopefully the postures back and forth now do come to end as this was an area that in no manner do I have any hate within the friends that I have but at the same time it’s rather unfortunate that things happen this way. I borrowed this write from a friend that when I read it and was silent with the whole ordeal, I thought to myself that there shall be friends on here that leave off and if they do so be it as I my intention was not for the devalue, rather the value within all of this.

I look towards the good things within all of this it’s just as easy as that. So for those of you that are a member of a group that are a friend of mine I hope that there still is that reciprocating effect. I am not on here for the games that people do play, and never shall be I enjoy this and I do have to thank a friend from Singapore whom knows who she is, as her writing was one that literally did catch my eye yesterday.

So it's been a decent day and just like you I am wishing to just write and do what I always enjoy doing. For those that wish to play games please leave my blog out of the cycle.

Onwards I go.....

Power by Way of Association

I have never seen so many people writing on one particular subject as I have today. The manner that we associate is one within a mean and within a certain ways. Perhaps it's based on common grounds, or something else. Yet the last two days I have never seen so many writes/blogs that are within regards to September 11th. We have that choice and we all write within our own manner but there is that synchronicity of something that is vibrant.

From all corners of the world seemingly in some manner everyone had a writing that was truly within one topic. I think that speaks for itself. There is a strength within what we write and on this very day I truly can say that I have read over the last two days over 50 writes with regards to peace and remembrance. It seems to me that there are truly good fold and that all is within a manner which I find to be abundant.

The manner that we associate is truly something that really does amaze me. Still to this very day.

A Day of Remembrance

By remembering today the thousands of people killed nine years ago, who simply going about their everyday lives, we recognize ourselves in the story of 9/11. By remembering the more than 400 first responders who perished solemnly performing their sworn duty that day, we honor those who sacrifice for our enduring freedom, both here at home and overseas. The day is now over and I believe as I mentioned before that it's within the goodwill and where as a society we tend to go, is for that of our very own. A rather different day yet one that afterwards one just goes about there doing there own thing.

Within the capacity of understanding of what this day has meant truly resides the meaning within it.

September 11th - How will I Feel?

Chief Extrodinaire Jim

I think different people have different views on what happened during September 11th. I so wish that I had backed up my y360 or at least saved letters that I had received from friends when I returned back into Canada from New York City. How do I feel about it? I feel that it's a time that most everyone pauses. I don't have the pictures and I guess there is one part of me that in some manner the one does go back in time yet it's something that represents something that it's very hard to describe. I posted earlier with regards to some stories. I think that the best thing is just to say that it has been on my mind. The act itself of September 11th was something that entirely through me off but at the time I had so much going on within family and my father's first cancer. I was really onto myself at the time. I will never forget going into the chapel, which is for all religions and this nun, came and sat next to me. She thought my main concern was with regards to my father, which it was but I was prepared for the worst with that however at that time I was very taxed with what had happened back in New York coupled with what I was seeing on television.

She told me that I am way over taxed and I knew I was, and I just rendered each day for what it was. But that was then and this is now. So I don't feel down with regards to it. I guess I feel several things, it’s truly not easy speaking or talking about something that is so close to you but it did change my life, not within a bad manner, but it was something that did take a nearly six months to come to terms with September 11th. However, I was not there and I can tell you one thing, is when you have one thing on your plate with family and cancer and then you have another at hand, it’s more taxing not being where you wish to be, as I wanted so badly to be back there within NY pardon the pun but within a minute. But as time went on I moved along and tended to just place it away as I came to terms with it all.

What I really do feel now if more within the tribute the good will that can come about. Perhaps this shall bring out a certain something from people all over the world but especially those that have been connected to it within some manner. However, I can only speak for myself. Within my own lifetime, I have never seen anything like it certainly there are other catastrophes that do happen, but there are those that some of us are truly very close with. And I guess this one was something that was very close to me. So as I was talking to this friend of mine today, she had asked me how I feel, I told her I have mixed emotions on the entire thing. And really, I don't feel all down I feel that from my vantage that it's truly a time that most probably will illustrated how much the entire world does come to be united place. It's funny as I am not sure about you but when you write on things that are very close to you, it's not as easy to write on. What I do remember back when it happened was that I felt angry. Angry and stressed out as I could not get through to the people that I wanted to and there were some very close friends but that was then and this is now.

I look at tomorrow and think to myself that it's it may very well take me by surprise as I could be entirely wrong but I think that within every newspaper, every television set, a huge portion of the internet, and amongst all police, all firefighters, and all within these sectors there will be a time that there is a pause. As well within every ethnicity there will be a pause out of respect - but I could be wrong - what I know is important is in what I feel.

However, my hope is that there is some good that comes out of the tenth anniversary and less of the negatives. But I won't know how I feel till tomorrow. The picture above is a very good friend of mine, whom went to NYC along with a team of firefighters - whom I still keep in contact to this very day.

Simplicity

All is going well and I had met up with a good friend today and we had some good laughs. There is nothing like placing things within perspective. Thereafter I dressed accordingly and just went out from there. It was just nice to get out and as simple as that may be. Now and then I will call this one friend of mine and then go over and just talk.

We talked about so many things and it was just nice. Everyone likes those friends that they can "shoot" the breeze with. Thereafter I went downtown as there were some matters that I had to tend to it was all good. The rain well it's been raining more than I have ever seen for this time of the year but you can't control the weather but you can control the perspective and the outlook that you have with all things. It's rather hard to get some of the pictures that I wished as there are so many places that one has to go through a combination of filling out forms and obtaining the ok after a week. I just love to take pictures when I can and of place that are of interest to me. There is an art within pictures I feel - but this being said it was a simple day which is rather decent if you ask me. While en route I just pulled my car over to the side and I thought I would get a simple picture of how the pavement was glazed, with the wet.

One can never control the weather you just have to have a good sense of humor with it.

The day was just as simple as that...

A Good Morning To Ya

Morning it is and again here with a coffee. I can hear it pour right now as there is we have been having storms after storms and it's just not typical. This week has been the strangest one I have had but the infection is gone and as well I can see what direction the weather is going and am glad that all things are working in the manner that they are. I know at times I have pushed the envelope on here but I don't mind as it's a resource. But here the days have already shown how they are becoming less and it's darker earlier. I am not sure if you noticed this but the mornings it's more than apparent. So I think it's time for a wet suit and head out for a portion of the day and get in some sound shots. As to go without photos seems to be a very hard things however it can be done.

So a great morning and great eve there to some. This has been an atypical week for me but I do keep my chin up. And then some. No one is really going coatless anymore everyone is wearing that quasy winter coat if you know what I mean. But to wake up and just throw the coffee, boil an egg and have some toast and then await the paper and then look at what coat one is going to wear - when some are enjoying the "tropics" well it's not fair, it just isnt fair.

 

But a great Friday to you on this 10th day of September!

Caring For Others Establishes the Spirit Within a Nation

Regardless of what is happening within my sphere, I have been really taken by what takes place within a country. I am not sure about you but I always will have something on my mind and as right now I do have some time on my hands I do like to write. I so wish I had pictures at hand that are from days within NYC or even ones that are of Ground Zero. I feel that we can look back and reflect on things that were of great importance. Last night I watched a television series and it had occurred to me what date and time was coming up. Then of course I think of a variety of things but there really are those areas that I loved to write on. I literally loved New York as well as New York State. It had a quality about it that I just enjoyed very much. I am not sure how many people have ever lived within “the big apple”, however to those that have you really come to know that it’s a tremendous city – as well as state for that matter.

I am not sure if you have ever been there or if you have links that are within this area of September 11th. If you do please send over a link as I am taking the afternoon portion of my day and just doing just reading various things that took place there.

As mentioned, I do think that things really did make a large change on this side of the world for the past decade since September 11th, some of which are for the better and some that have taken us into another area. It’s of value to me and I am just making some use of my time. To describe New York City within merely is rather hard to do. But I thought I would look up some areas and come up within something.

There some tremendous stories of what came out of September 11th and as well there are some reflective. So on a damp pouring afternoon, I thought that I would use my time with some use. There are a few friends on here that are from New York and for those that do have some quotes or thoughts within a line or two, it would be most appreciated. Meanwhile I am going to carry on here and just enjoy a few writes as well as reads. I don’t think this is a negative thing at all, I really do think it’s something of most interest.

~ Lest We Not Forget ~

I will never forget the day and last night I was visiting a few sites with regards to September 11th. I hope to write a few things on this but I worked within the twin towers part time while I ran my own consulting office. When I arrived back here within Canada I did have much going on but I will never forget being called and told to look to see what was going on. For the entire month I spent it just keeping up on all things. I thought of my my wife (not ex), I thought of one very good police officer and back then I was really overwhelmed by it all.

Ground Zero the truth of Sept. 11's legacy - of what it means to respond to a terror campaign with heroism and love for our neighbour - is a message that gets hijacked so often with many other things but it's a time within our history that I think is one that we do pay tribute to all that had passed away. As so often what I have found is that this very important date does get hijacked with so many other things that the message of honoring those of that date sometimes gets complicated within politics. Yet those that passed and how what I consider the best city within the world literally was torn. But then rebuilt. There are several areas to write about within this but honoring those that have passed away during a time that so much happened within such a short period of time. I think that internationally we all were glued to our televisions, telephones.

But the message here is I hope we don't forget to honour those of that very day. Here if you wish are a few interesting links:

There are many pages but I thought it's something that we can ask ourselves if we would have been better off if it didn't happen? And there are so many things to consider. For myself, I recall it all to well. If well is appropriate. But there within the twin towers there was a back area which looked upon docks and as well condos and I will never forget going outside as I was running this databasing for a company there - so I went and had back then a cig, at 3am in the morning and I remember looking up and one would not realize how large these buildings were unless they had seen them within person. Certainly they are not there and there is much that is being discussed with regards to all sorts of things but honoring a day is not about anything more than paying tribute. I shall write on this as later but you might laugh but yep that is myself and my former wife. I wish to continue a series and this would be considered an something that America went through but I can assure you that people from all over the world were effected by September 11th.

Now This Was a First

I was up early and had a great rest as well I have a cousin that resides out of town and he came in today. I arrived home and took my "horse pills" as I am supposed to but the next thing I am fast asleep. That never happens to me and so I met with my cousin and he had only one hour as he had to get back to his city. He is some twenty years older than me but we had a great talk with regards to many things.

Trevor I never really knew till later on within life and this was the fist time that I saw him in I would say three years and he is doing well. He sells insurance and well all in all it was good the talk as he has a wealth of experience. He had three inheritances that came his way and literally back within the 70's he literally went all over the world many times over. Thereafter he decided to be a baptist minister and married a fine lady and inherited three children - well they are all grown up now but it was a good talk and then I decided to just lay back and watch some television and before you know it again I was off to sleep. Now there are power naps, naps however I have never fallen asleep like this and one actually feels like it's the morning already. However within the morning I did go for a walk and the weather was nice, and I did a few things around here but didn't push it. What a change from yesterday as I was glued on this thing and well I think you know what I mean. So the weather here ironically has been rather nice as of today and I do thank you to those that I have already visited there pages. So a basic day but a good one. I haven't even read the paper today but so be it. 

I think we could very well have an indian summer here I could be wrong but really what will be will just be.

 

Be Happy!

You may or you may not remember that uplifting song released way back in 1988 by a guy named Bobby McFerrin? It was called, “Don’t Worry, Be Happy”. One couldn’t help but feel good when you heard it, either hearing it on the radio driving from “here to there”.

Spelling out the word “Happy” and see if we can find a deeper meaning within this letter of “H” which stands for might very well stand for Harmony. Is our life in balance? Is what we believe what we do? It’s hard to be happy if the things we believe in are different than the things we actually do.

Then there is that letter, “A”, perhaps just a thought it may very well stand for Appreciation.  Are we aware of the good things in our life including the things that keep us awake at night? Are we thankful for our blessings? When thinking of the letter “P”, for there lays Purpose.

I have always believed with a capital "B" that goals give us that drive, that motivation to set our goals and aid us. Forward we go overcoming what we so often we come to see as limitations but really are there such a thing as limits? “P” is for Participation. Are we a major player in our own life? Do we share the give and take and ups and downs of life with those closest to us? I would suppose within the human condition we do as best as we can pending the moments within life, which lead me to the letter, “Y” which stands for Yearn.

Are we still pushing ourselves to make our dreams come true, regardless of age? As we say welcome autumn, it’s good to keep in mind that we are the only ones who can make ourselves happy. No one person knows it all nor is life full of an array of things however:

The only way to Predict our Future is by way of Creating it.

Hence

Life is Life :)

It's a Jungle Out There

As we get set for the Labour Day weekend, what was it that Tarzan said to Jane after a hard day swinging through the trees?
“It’s a jungle out there!” We’ve heard that expression over the years out in the working world. A few years ago I read an interesting piece on how to better survive in the jungle.

For openers, I was reminded of the fact that a cheater is a cheater. What someone says or does in the most innocent of situations speaks about his or her real self. If someone cheats in a friendly game of cards or golf, then beware. This is quite probably that person’s true nature and in business dealings that trait will surface at one time or another. It is also true that a person who is nice to you but is not nice to a server or a cashier is not a nice person.

We’ve heard this before, but the best way to survive in the jungle is to say what you mean and mean what you say. In business, promises are made and broken every day leaving a terrible impression and hindering progress in business dealings. Credibility is crucial to long term survival and promising then not delivering is worse than not promising in the first place. Remember, too, there is no such thing as a secret. Don’t assume requests for confidentiality will be honoured and don’t repeat confidential information in written form as it could come back to bite you.

Finally, my favourite way to survive out there is to keep laughing. A sense of humour put to use every day can be an effective shield against the slings and arrows fired at you from liars, thieves and scam artists.

My Love Dedication From Paul McCartney to Linda

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yOktBoBbSs

My Love Does It Good

And when i go away
I know my heart can stay with my love ,

It's understood
It's in the hands of my love
and my love does it good
Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo,
my love does it good

And when the cupboards bare
I'll still find something there with my love
It's understood , it's everywhere with my love
And my love does it good

Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo ,
my love does it good

Oh I love oh wo......my love
Only my love holds the other key to me
Oh....my love oh...my love
Only my love does it good to me


Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo , my love does it good

Don't ever ask me why , i never say goodbye to my love
It's understood , it's everywhere with my love
And my love does it good

Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo , my love does it good

Oh I love oh wo......my love
Only my love does it good to me
Woooooooooooooh

The second song is:

My Love Does it Good

 

 

Do you feel that there is a need from pretentious people that feel they are the "in" clan, I certainly don't as I feel that everyone is rather equal and there is a substance within that. ~Yeah~

More than Pleased !

The best thing is the end of pain, but not by way of a narcotic, however there was a time where literally this had happened before as well as I had what was thought to be a rotar cuf that needed sugery. As soon as I had all things simmered down - I literally walked my talk. Of course now I am three years older but the same situation happened again. Today before all was done another doctor came in and from internal medicine and then my GP was called so first thing is to have this tooth fixed or see if the infection leaves - then on the 20th of the month my legs will have these injections. So better late than never. I knew this time would come, and when you leave from one province within Canada you start right back within the system. So I am glad that this has all been done and look forward to a few days if that without the pain that I had - little did I know I had a viral infection that must have started two weeks ago. But it all works out....So I am elated as I thought that this was a situation that was going to be with me for the rest of my life and often I wouldnt say much about it but finally it's all good. So its' not so much about killing pain but rendering the fast and right procedure and then getting back on with it. So that is that and I am glad for this. More than you know I really do mean that!

As I shall run again and I shall train again, but most importantly I guess I tended too long with family matters where now this is my time. It's one thing to be in vain, it's another to be pleased with onself especially when it comes to health. Just imagine being at the point where your in so much pain that you can't do anything within the night due to legs and that has been for nearly two years now.

Hence, I am more than pleased.

I was placed on temp pain killers and look forward to just reading and writing.

Well two pains have been going on and I have been placed on a pain killer so I think I might just be funny as heck and Jack just hold back on some of the things you do say :).

I cherish my authentic friends and don't want to have that ruined on here as I do enjoy reading and shall as well I will write. So I shall do a little reading and will catch up as much as possible. My thought of the day glad this one is over and there are a few more ahead but after this I am assured I will have my legs back and I shall be back to walking and even running but all is within cadence.... So one tooth is now done and two knees shall be done on or before the 20th of this month...

 

 

Took a nap and well all is planned and accomplished mind you I never realized I had the combination of my knees and a tooth that will either be extracted or fixed pending tomorrow for now I rested and this is the last time this shall take place for myself, I am on temporariy pain killers and the 20th is the date of the procedure but first shall be an extraction of a back molar...for now I am a turtle and going to just take it slow yet fun...yep. :)

~ Where there is a will there always is a good way~

Rendering the Best - Regardless

Well, yes I completely forgot with the holidays that I had two things from which to do and well I hope that tomorrow works out fine. One never wished to miss two appointment that were set at the very same time. I had mentioned before within this blog of mine this situation with my legs and well, we shall see how it all plays out tomorrow. Pain is something that can really rattle a person and for myself as I had mentioned this was long awaited for so hopefully it shall all be fine tomorrow. So I just have been taking it rather easy today. I was up and went to just get groceries and then just finished a little supper and you just work along with what comes your way and that is the way it goes. So, it's been rather cool here and there is always a remedy for everything. So for myself we shall see, I hope I don't have to wait for this but it's all within the way one thinks about things, as I had this procedure before and it's much like a cushion material that goes between the knee joints.

So we shall see what comes about for myself tomorrow but for now I am just going to enjoy reading a few blog...

 

A Holiday Monday

A rather wet one, ironically I remember when most all things were closed however to my surprise through the rain this morning I headed out and got some groceries, I have not been on here all that much over the last couple of day, but since it's cool and temperatures are what they are I thought I would extend a great holiday to those that do observe it.

 

A great Labour Day Monday to those that celebrate it...

I literally wish I was better....

That is with the languages that I once could literally speak almost if not as good as my English. I remember so well of how I came to know French when I arrived within Canada as my father thought it was pinnacle with surviving within Canada. Although most of Canada is predominantly english and there are 29 different languages spoken here but English tends to be the main stream. And then Spanish, I loved spanish I could never write it but while living within NYC, I came to literally understand and be able to speak it within six months, now so often when I run into someone that is of either a spanish or a french decent so often I will conjugate the two languages - it's not spanglish, it's something rather different where I will combine spanish, english and french.

English Inconsistencies

As always, I occasionally take a sneak peek at the inconsistencies of our language. One example is how we change or reverse the meaning of a word by adding “un”, “dis”, or “re” in front. Now look at ~Arrange and Disarrange~. ~Associate and Disassociate~. ~Original and Unoriginal~ and Gurgitate and Regurgitate.

Wait a minute…. Gurgitate isn’t a word, is it?

Sometimes, when you take the dis, or un, or re away you are left with a non word. Regurgitate means to throw back or out so if gurgitate was a word I guess it would mean to catch or take in. “Disgruntled” means to be in a bad humor but there’s no such word as “gruntled”. If discrepancy means a difference or disagreement, “crepancy” should mean no difference or agreement, if there was such a word. The word “disparage” means to lower in rank or reputation so you’d think parage would mean to promote or enhance except you won’t find parage in a dictionary.

The word “untrammeled” means to not be hampered, caught or held. But is“trammeled” a word?  Ah yeah, yes it is.

As it does mean to be caught or held. If we were to use words that we might think logically existed, then instead of saying that the Captain was happy after hearing the news there was agreement among his superiors about his promotion to Major, we could say he was gruntled when he gurgitated the news regarding the crepancy about his parage.

Of course, people would wonder what language you were speaking or what planet you were from. English is tough enough for people with other mother tongues to master without us making it even more difficult.

If you deliberate on it you will fathom the irrefutable perfect authenticity of that statement.

Enough to live enough to merely be." ~ Walt Whitman Welcome the first day within September....
