Full Moon: A Constant in the Flow of Changes

Good Morning, God! It has come to me that the regularity of the Moon may well be one of the reasons I love it. It cycles so predictably! I can check my calendar. Plan in advance. Count on it. So

Turmeric, Brain Health, and the Himalayan Kitchen

Good Morning, God! What fun last night to dine outdoors at a rooftop restaurant in Kaimuki. It’s fun to peek into another culture or at least another cuisine. I like different. I even like it when it comes HOT. Not

Embarking on a Path toward a Better, Happier, Body

Good Morning, God! Several days ago Kit found an OLD photo of me at the beach — me looking svelte. Oddly enough, God, I did not immediately turn my face away. That was my former response because I thought those

Spinning the “Wool” of my Life in to Stories

Good Morning, God! I had such a worthwhile time talking yesterday with Mavis, my therapist. Is it just me, God — or do most “extroverts” need help in retrieving, reviewing and spinning out the threads of their lives? At the

Will Power or Focus Power?

Good Morning, God! I’ve been listening to the book, Influencer for some time now. It’s filled with fascinating information that overturns many of our common assumptions. Yesterday it overturned the “Marshmallow Studies.” For years, God, I have heard about the

Countless Opportunities, Waiting to be Seen

Good Morning, God! I took Kit in early yesterday morning for his out-patient surgery. It required general anesthesia — which opens the door to untoward possibilities. It certainly opened me up to fears — just barely held at bay. But

Car Keys, Memory and Two Intersecting Articles

Good Morning, God! And it IS a GOOD morning! Partly because we are Beginning To Head HOME! And it’s partly because of two articles in this month’s Discover magazine. I love it, God, when ideas come from two directions! The

Thoughts on Suitcases and Life

Good Morning, God! I have always marveled at Light Packers. So, finally, on this trip  I bought a small carry-on size suitcase and set about packing light.  Kit explained that it was just two “Long Weekends.” That IS true, God,

Maintenance with Uplift!

Good Morning, God! My special projects are almost over and now — as I look around me — it is onward to MAINTENANCE. I’d like it, God, if maintenance got more RESPECT. In my internal “games” I give LOTS of

Permission to Rest — the Kindness of God

Good Morning, God! I have been given permission to rest! And now I am smiling as MANY people (including myself) have been trying to give me permission to rest. But, somehow, I didn’t “believe” it — or “accept” it. Aaah,
