Words, words, words...







Wondering at the Wonder of Words




"Sticks n Stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me"... what crap that ole saying was/is!!!!
Just sayin...

What's new with you on this Superb Saturday... thinkin I'm almost "human again"... Jeepers slept through the night, the new pain meds are working quite well, a sign on the door reads, "one of the three attack dogs has had surgery and is grumpy, the other two are a tad vicious, please do not ring the bell or knock on the door", all is quiet here.  Words are good, and I am learning better how to use them this week!

"And that's all I have to say about that"!

Engage our minds, before our mouths and our bodies, yep that's what I'm thinkin~><



Ever give a quick answer?
 Ever wish later, after the fact that you had put a little thought into it before you engaged?
 I have.
 Sometimes I have wished I could have had the time, or taken the time to come up with a well thought-out answer or response.

There have been more than a few times when I have stood silently, blinking, frozen, lips zipped.
No response to be found.
Mind empty.
 I scratch around and find; nothing.
 I don’t know if in those special, rare moments I am stunned, amazed, or stupid.
 I can say that infrequently I have offered no response because I am consciously editing myself, less the “sailor” below decks slips out, if you know what I mean. Thankfully those moments are rare indeed.

Words can hurt.
 Those are words that we hope to not utter, no matter the circumstances. Ever read the words of others and sat amazed by them; wondering if you are really seeing right what you are reading and wondering if someone has just lost their mind or if it is possible they could really think like they must?
WORDS...


We are at best thoughtful people capable of choosing our words carefully when challenged. Or at our worst.

Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment. ”
Benjamin Franklin

Ever found yourself blabbering on and on about nothing? Oh yeah.
Been there too.


Ever gotten ahead of yourself and chased circles around your own words, saying nothing a mile a minute.
 Blah blah, blah blah blah blah.
 Just stop.
 Cease and desist.
 Better to say nothing and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
Can’t remember who said that but it sure fits in situations like that, have seen some of those very situations...they are not pretty!
"The trouble with talking too fast is you may say something you haven't thought of yet." -- Ann Landers


I’ve done that too.
 Sound familiar?

So in the end,
 We use words to convey meaning and express desire, to give solace and provide comfort, to impact and inspire. We use words to express our thoughts, to provide emphasis, to create the linkage from thought to language.
Words reflect what we think, and when we are unthinking.
Words can motivate, support, and explain, reach, train, teach, tell a great story or provide super humor. 

Words can be so much more than just words, provide hope and healing ways as we walk into great light and right way relations.

And they do.

Speak with mindful purpose.
 Let the gift of language always be offered as a gift. Sincere, thoughtful words offered with a kind smile on our faces and in our eyes begins with the words our hearts hold.

Speak form the heart and you just can’t go wrong.

Let your knowledge be your truth as you speak your hearts song today and all days...

Be authentic, mission driven, purposeful in your words, your steps, on your path. Ask others for the same... when that is done you offer an opportunity for exchange of ideas, an open door for dialogue that is honest that allows responsibility along with accountability.  It is honorable, and yes it also allows for you to see who people are. Occasionally you will find others are not able to be authentic, you will pull a few knives from your back perhaps along the way, but always remember that is their problem not yours, and a learning has occurred, a scar or several may form and you will gain a new collection of knives along the way!  Some folks just are not ready to be held accountable, nor able to be honest in words or actions... we are each on our own path walkin our own steps.
 
The fire is burning brightly and its embers are hot, sending thoughts on the wind to all who gather here and there and everywhere...We are with you, we are Warriors here, ready to send our best thoughts, our best wishes...

Carry on, carry on...

Walk in beauty,

Friday the 13th...


Happy Friday the 13th from the tribe here... Jeepers is day two post op from his three surgeries in one day for a torn ACL in that little knee... of all days, surgery on 9/11 that is written on the bandage now in neon pink he is in a drug daze and when not asleep stares at who knows what until that little head drops to sleep again or pain wakes him.  It is just awful I have to tell ya, when a kid is sick, or a 4 leggged... Often hard to discern their pain or meet their needs, yet they manage to let you know their pain with the cries or looks. They manage to forget they cannot do when certain stimuli get them into an action and then drop them in a hot second from pain as you watch helplessly but feel tremendously. Once again humor comes to the rescue over and again and oh how I am glad for that. Friends holler at you, offer support while you move through the day and into the night watching, shooting morphine in your eye when it all goes to hell in a hand basket in a hot second. Note to self: wear your glasses and hold the little bottle steady... Note to others, that stuff tastes like crap and it will take away the pain in your eye quickly once you are able to see again.
...

We managed to once again get through 9/11 with tributes, with honoring with remembering the nearly 3,000 lives that were lost, the loved ones, the families that stood arm in arm reflecting and feeling as though it was only yesterday the world stood still. We all noticed the flags in our communities that were lowered, we paused as one Nation, united in pain, in resiliency together once again as we remembered. One million bikers rode through D.C., men, women, Veterans as they too remembered, as they let the world know we will never forget. I still cannot imagine the sound, the sight, the peaceful thunder heard, the reverence.
They also made a loud statement to the permit granted to those who gathered for a one million Muslim march that day where 25 gathered to protest.  They served notice if you will, that this is America, the land of the free because of the brave, because of those who have served, are serving. They made a strong statement in that ride, but it is my hope that the primary purpose of that ride was in remembering 9/11. It was a ride of Patriots on a day we now call Patriot Day.

 The flags now returned to the top of the poles, riders now headed back if not already home... We are now at Friday, time for a weekend a time to for kickstands down to rest, to restore, to enjoy self, family, friends... A time to enjoy the light that is now changing and the weather that is also in the midst of changing as well. It is that time to soak it in and soak it up doing what feels great and feels best to you. Listen to what fills you up, not what drains you... do what gives you that all over great feeling, not takes precious energy from you... Be all that you are nothing less.

Cherish each moment as though it is the only moment... Use those three questions to lead to the day,
Is it really true before you pass it on?
Is it going to make someone feel good to know it, before you share it?
Will it make you and them better for having heard it?

Go forward into your weekend with gladness.

thank you for your thoughts for little Jeepers and for my tribe here.

Blessings on this the 13th day of September...

REMEMBERING 9/11 ~ NY~ DC~ PA





For a moment, many moments we have had calm this morning... it is the quiet of reflection. Of remembering the day of 9/11 and the thousands of lives lost in NY, DC, and on board the Plane diverted to a field in PA ... the millions that are standing today remembering, honoring, reflecting on the day our world stood still. We are United in gathering to remember 9/11; lives lost, the first responders who stood, the families that now stand feeling that it was just yesterday along with so many more.

It is a somber day of remembrance.

It is the anniversary of a day that we must stand, we must embrace each other in unity as America. We must teach the children about that was real, was on our soils and still lives in our hearts, minds and spirits. We must honor the souls that look to us now from a distance for the greater good of our country and each of us that are still here.
This is our country, the soil of our Ancestors the Earth that we walk on here right now. WE must be better stewards in taking care of each other and ourselves while protecting our country from harm.

We must never forget 9/11. 

The bells are being rung, the names being read, the ceremonies are underway... by now the plane had hit, the horror had been first witnessed, more was to come on that day 9/11/2001... 

We were united in devastation, shock, trauma... moved to action, later to stand as America does best in crisis, United.

Today once again we will stand arm in arm, remembering honoring absorbing images that are not too far from our memories of the day that we never imagined could or would happen on our soils.




A million bikers, veterans, men and women are in Washington D.C., the Patriots rolling through to remember 9/11 today... Rolling...

WE WILL NEVER FORGET...

Will we once again also be reminded of the importance to stand UNITED as America... in kindness, compassion for the greater good...

God bless those nearly 3,000 that are watching, the families, friends as they stand today, as they stand tomorrow... God bless the first responders as they stood then, stand today as they remember and are flooded with the memories of then, now and tomorrow.

Where were you ... what did you do, how are you now?

Haters goin' to HATE...


HATE> what a word, what a thing to do, we are seeing more and more hate in the world... or are we? It just may be that we are more exposed to Hate as a result of 24/7 news feeds from 500 channels of cable television, from Twitter feeds, social media giant Facebook, from people who have lost either their moral filters or their minds completely. We are living in a world where kindness is going by the wayside and fear is replacing executive functioning on a daily basis... Hate groups are popping up as causes agendas are spreading like wild fires devastate the senses.

Hate groups, hatred and hatefulness in words and actions are seen daily leaving others deeply wounded or so very angry that they react wounded and as a lion backed into a corner coming out with claws feeling as though they are fighting for their lives.

Signs have been created saying to "keep calm, haters goin to hate" and we move on into the day... knowing that we cannot afford to take it on or take it in. It is toxic to hate or be infected by such negativity. Yet we see it daily, watch it in action through the actions of others. 

At times it can even be viewed through a comical lens once we filter out the horror of it all. When we see the source of it, look beneath the shock of it, realizing that some hate from their own ignorance and insecurity. Sometimes when we take the time to confront the haters face on with calm it takes them off their feed, makes them wonder, leaves them scratching their heads in ways unimagined.  Probably best to not argue with a hater, best to not reason with one... it only flares the flames that are burning there.
Seems it always best to smile through the haters, take pictures of them, laugh or ask questions without emotions and look rather bewildered by them... After all, when it is all said and done,


Today I have to give props to ole Vince Gill of country music who walked outside to see Westboro Baptist Church haters face to face... He was as usual awesomenss in action. He wanted to see what "Hate Looked Like", and now he knows.  Not only has he got a voice that speaks to the soul, but he kept his calm and just walked out to 'see for himself' the true look and sound of hate personified of those who hate in the open as they stand in front of funerals with such blatant disrespect and dishonor so many saying they are working for God and doing his work.  Vince did what so many can do to stand UP to hate in a calm way... we can all stand UP to hate, to bullies, to injustices.Vince say what hate Looks like, first hand as they boycotted his concert in MO... bet it didn't bother those who love his music one bit!

http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/people/2013/09/09/vince-gill-westboro-baptist/2790931/



The country is standing up, saying NO we do not want bombs dropped in Syria, we do NOT want to get involved... We are standing UP saying we want peace on our soils as we are remembering 9/11 the day our world stood still and precious lives were lost.

As millions of bikers are riding to D.C. to honor all and the city did not issue a special permit for their ride, they are still riding to remember the lives lost, obeying all the streets and city signs they will roll on and into the city Remembering that day... Listen, watch, you will see and hear thunder roar as thousands of spirits will applaud them for remembering 9/11 ...

Love wins.

Haters goin' to hate, their loss.

Choose to love, to be kind, to feed the fire of passion that burns brightly to light your way and the way of so many others along the way through the light, the smile of authenticity LOVE WINS...

Remembering 9/11

Here we come, Monday


As this new week begins, let the colors wash over you, the wonderment begin! If you don't like the view... blink a few times and change the perspective, look differently through those wonderful eyes of yours while sending a different message to your brain! Turn up the volume and dance your steps led by your dreams, led by your goodness, driven by your passion as you paint the colors of the sky your way... choose the feelings you want and the words you say with care, with mindfulness, with care.

Play, Pray, Be your best selves... it's Monday a new day,  a view a new time of possible.  STanding up boring? Lay down and look up! It's amazing the sights you might see differently... Entertain every possibility to stretch your imagine as that is the only limitation in this wonderful life as we know it.... laugh loud, smile so much it makes your face ache... It's worth it!

 Yes, there is enough news to make our heads explode with wondering why, how could they, when will it all make sense... Too much to comprehend at times. Enough sorrow, too much news to fit in the senses that does not make sense... BUT there is more beauty than is given credit on any given day, more than we hear about, read about, think about, give props for... so many angles to view, to laugh through, to love through, to celebrate the wonder of.

Laces getting you bogged down on those shoes? just push them on and move along, use velcro, wear flip flops... and move along. Jump through the hoop move through the fire of the day with glee as the day is going to move through you one way or the other... embrace it for all that it is... 

A woman recently let me know that she received a call from the school in the first week as her child had already been "called out" and now she was being called out as well. Seems she clothed her little one "wrong" by sending him off to school in velcro sneakers.  She was informed by the school she must purchase sneakers with laces for the lad in order for him to participate in class as they are learning to "tie" and velcro does NOT cut it... 
oh my poor Mom, she had already purchased the school budget clothes and now had to re-purchase tie sneakers for the little one in order for him to "participate" in lessons in school... the art and science of learning to tie his shoes! Always something was my thinking as I reminded her that in the NBA players do NOT wear velcro so a quick trip to the Goodwill store might be a good idea for some lace little sneaks... 

Life is a joyous adventure where cursive writing is no longer a requirement, and we are all being replaced by robots in the workplace...
but laces are a required fun-da-mental skill. 

I think we should dance on desks in kindergarten as a first needed life lesson and that will prepare us for the Monday's of life throughout life as folks now prepare for Facebook social media and the many negative posts/threats/opinions that are a as natural as bowel movements... how bout you?  Yep, thinking that is a good Monday thought.

Teach em young to TURN IT UP, to dance, to play, to LAUGH...
 


Have a marvelous Monday... you've got this!

Up UP and have a great day





Wishing you a day that has you soaring while feeling the wind on your face... It's a great day to do something outrageous, something fun, something completely silly and just have the best of times...
Blessings to all as you think of what that might be.... 

The sage is filling the air, the fire is burning; prayers going up for those who have asked as the prayer bowl is is held up.  May you find the strength today that you seek, may you find the guidance you seek, the hope fill your soul and spirit along the way. May you know peace. Thank you to those in Uniform who have served, those fallen, those who are serving... And so it is!
