April Wrap

My goodness, a lot of good stuff went down in April. Let's get started. In the picture this month we have Isolde Jones (ZoZo). Our neighbor since we've been at this place. She turned 95 on the 10th of April. An inspiration to all. A lovely, kind lady. In this picture, she's sitting on the right, next to my girl.

Eli and Amber returned from their South America adventure. They should be moving back into their house in Portland today. I love me some Eli and Amber every chance I get.

Here's the goodies I've been tracking this month:

Imagine yourself trouble free.

A flower is not the same thing after you pick it.

The next time you have a problem with me, let's remember who has a problem.

Nothing is going to change, until you do.

You're not going to be able to drink all day, if you don't get started first thing in the morning.

Can't we just agree, EVERYTHING we say to each other is the most important thing.

Coming down the mountain this morning I realized how everything, absolutely everything is as hard as I want to make it, especially being happy.

I'm pretty sure when we move from here it will be to a place where we can see way more stars at night right from our own porch, except for cloudy nites.

She came to the realization her entire life had been one big side affect.

That whole tomorrow thing sure is a doozey.

One thing about the dead

they remind us to live.

Every single one of them

told me the same thing.

I guess I must have been about 40 the last time. I'd like to think it wasn't that long ago. Today, when the computer asked the clerk if the customer looked under 40, she did not hesitate to press the NO button. She also had no interest in checking me "out" if you know what I mean. I'm never going to be carded or checked-out again. There's more. This morning I was happy to read about a study that suggested being 10 to 15 pounds overweight was a good thing. I only need to lose 10 to 15 pounds to be 10 to 15 pounds overweight! There's more. I saw the Chinese (or some country) was recommending sex to their people because it helps the cardio-vascular system. As bad as my memory is, I do remember when sex was a work out. I also remember having sex after dark under the covers in the love tent, or was it a fort? There's more.

And now from some real people:

It's kind of nice getting up early, you go the whole day to do stuff. Amber royal. April 19th, 2010. 10:00AM.

I think of meditation as the act of showing up for your life, the one you actually have, now. John Tarrant.

That's it for this time.

My best, your bobJuan.
