The day before Thanksgiving, I joined Planet Fitness. It was cool that they were open Thanksgiving Day. I spent yesterday morning getting familiar with the equipment and the routines. It feels good to be back in a gym. I can’t pretend I’ll stay strong if I don’t work on it, I’m 50 freaken 9. I do daily yoga but I can at least walk the treadmill each day, too. Like you, I’ve belonged to several gyms off and on through the years. I like something real close. I don’t like commiting to a contract. I’ve got friends who have never been in a gym and say they wouldn’t know what to do when they got there. Well, that’s it, you ask and they tell you. You tell them what your goals are and they tell you which muscles that involves and show you which machines work those muscles. They suggest which muscle groups to work together on the same day, which muscle groups to work on other days and how long to rest in between. Continue reading

I was too quick to judge
I judged someone before meeting them, as being too slick and a real player. It was confirmed upon meeting them. It took me some time to get over my initial judgment enough to see them clearly. I’m sorry. Forgive me.
Crazy for God

She who hesitates is… sometimes saved from disaster
Domino is not amused that the man she was waiting to get out of the freshly divorced stage before letting him know she was interested, just moved back in with his ex-wife. Rejection is protection! God knows who we need to be with and when.
Why it’s easy for me to eat light on Thanksgiving
I have friends tell me “Oh, you have so much discipline not overeating, especially on holidays.” It’s not really discipline. It’s that after having digestive problems years ago caused by my former heavily-meat-laden diet, I remember the pain and the 8 days each in the hospital 3 years in a row with acute pancreatitis due to hyperlipidemia. Pain is a powerful motivator. The few times I’d overeaten since then, my body was in such discomfort until the offending mass moved through it 12 hours later that I am flat out never tempted to overeat anymore. It doesn’t even occur to me. Now I nibble fresh spinach if I sit in front of the tv, instead of snacks. I lost 60 pounds the first 4 months I changed my eating habits in 2006, and the last year lost another 10 by working out a little more. I want to be stronger and more vital as I get older, not less. This should do it.

I finally contact the Source and fix the problem
I haven’t written much the last 2 days since my carpal tunnel has flared up. I can’t complain, it never lasts more than a few days and I know how to treat it. The big news, though is finally I can get in to my web server again and update the websites! The last two months I’ve been unable to access the server or upload files. I sent an email to the contact site. No response. I submitted to a few more places, no luck. Two months later I asked my brother to investigate it for me. He found the correct URL to submit my inquiry and said I’d get a response back within 24 hours. I did. Later I thought, I did all this crazy w0rrying wondering why they weren’t responding. I pay them a good deal of money. The problem, as usual, wasn’t what I thought the problem was. The problem was I let myself get irked out of alignment so I was not a vibrational match to easily locate the correct contact URL. I could not contact the source and was did not realize I was asking for help in the wrong places.

The tide of my love has risen so high, let me flood over you. Close your eyes for a moment, and maybe all your fears and fantasies will end. If that happened, God would become an infant in your arms, and then you would have to nurse all creation! ~ Hafiz
What would you tell a client who faces loss?
Facebook friend Alison Hall just asked, “If you were to forsee a relationship for someone that starts very well but ends in severe financial loss… job loss and with the other partner leaving to be with another… and the person affected would not heed your warning… would you tell them anyway? Or would these events be karmic for the one to faces all this loss?” I responded, ” If I see they are in the midst of attracting that, I’d let them know and tell them something concrete to do to change it. If I know they will not heed my words (maybe 75% of clients) I’ll also tell them that, and also tell them why they will feel the impulse to do otherwise and how to overcome it. Everything that happens is karmic, and there are many ways to fulfill the karma without loss being a crisis.” We got many other good comments as well. Continue reading
