Saturday and the Train

Chooo Choooo

Good Morning Mornin

Look out, here comes the Train!

Coffee is hot, the morning is coming on strong

and

the coffee is fantastic!

Ready to board the day for a great ride?

Wow, I've been burning the midnight oil on a project, but think I now see the light at the end of the tunnel...

OR

maybe it's the headlight of an oncoming train!

Not sure yet,

But

let's hope

it's the light~

The little ones decided not to wait for the train this morning, they are instead making their own track,

the familiar track around the pool;

Gypsy with her toy in mouth

[and still able to bark her delight of morning],

with Jeepers hot on her tail, as they make the corners

ZOOM zoom ZOOM

around now for the second time at record speed.

Ah, it's good to be them this morning.

At the same moment,

that nasty bug is managing to hit folks here

rather feeling like they've been standing on the tracks

and

just happened to

look up

and

saw the head light of that train a second

to late!

BUMP

Run over by the "bug" of 2011

leaving them without a voice

or now find themselves with sounds like a mixture of

Kermit the Frog

and "nothingness" once the mouth opens!

Wassup with that?

Perhaps a good time to hit the Vitamin C,

kick back and let it work;

resting the vocal cords at the same time!

The "stress of the holidays" is catching up with folks,

along with the "snow birds" arrival to Florida, most of

us

are saying; "gotta blame it on something"

I guess!

So, how was this first week of 2011?

Did you find out anything new about yourself

or anyone else

or make new resolutions?

Are you keeping those mighty resolutions that have been made

or

are you just living and living your best life?

YOU

are a winner remember!

One thing that continually amazes me

so early in this New Year is how quickly the time runs by in a day. Just seems the hours are shorter than they were last year in so many ways...

Get up at six am and before you know it is is six pm.

hmmm

I have noticed this week, that the light is changing

so

I figure that is a lovely thing

and

spring is just around the corner.

That is more than lovely, it is fantastic!

We have a new plan here in the works,

and the work has begun.

A Bake Sale is in the preparation stages

and we will be joining in

on January 29

which is a special day

so I know we will greatly successful

at raising lots of monies for

MS Research.

January 29 is Mom's (aka COB's)birthday up there In VA

and

here there will be a huge event at a local church

where one of our daily readers, supporters and commenter's

"sign me A"

has hooked us up with tables!

So,

we will be now recruiting our trusty

Warriors in the effort

and

putting together some awesome

and

most delicious offerings

for that day

to raise a gracious amount of money

in honor of our

 Laura Roorda

for

MS RESEARCH

"WE MUST FIND A CURE FOR THIS DISEASE NOW".

So here in our home,

the kitchen is being transformed into

the

Bake Shoppe once again!

With of course the usual deterrents of

"will you bake me this, or can you send me a taste of that, or can I be a taste tester for you on that"

Yes, we will let the "good times roll"

and

Have the Best of Times in the doings

of all

While calling on all Warriors to bless this event

and

bring great energy to the outcomes

along

with coming out

to support it.

Wonder it those things can be shipped, mail we can do a

"virtual bake sale"!!!

Creativity and imagination are as open as our Universal spirits and the skies themselves.

DLB is also and awesome flower arranger of real fresh and silk flowers,

so

she will also be making a couple of

silk arrangements

for the event

for a raffle that day!

Creative don't you think, and a great addition for raising money!

Look out MS

we are out to get you

and

we are coming on strong.

Those "spaghetti noodles" in the brain, also known as neurotransmitters send so many messages

and the wires that mis-fire and mis-inform

will not know what do to once we get the needed monies for researchers to figure this all out

and

help the folks out there who are fighting this fight.

They will Cure This.

Until then, we have to work hard

and those with MS, along with those who are blessed to not have MS, must work hard to give the brain commands to perform

while remembering that the brain likes consistency.

You must give the command.

"If you give your brain mixed messages, you will receive mixed results"

Be consistent with the messages, desire, intention

of what you are telling the brain.

Begin each day with self, with intention, with self-care.

Speaking of self-Care, talking to your brain,

and

January 29...

I heard from Mom,

seems she is all over this New Year

since returning home from Christmas here in Flroida.

She is hitting the Y with her buddies there in 30 degree weather, rolling out of that warm bed, and scraping the windows of her car... Off to the Y with her buddies

where they jump in that pool for their work out

and "chat out" three days a week!

Her latest new venture for this new Year?

She has just joined and completed her first

ZUMBA

class!

Check it out online; now that is an image

and she says it is great fun!

Mom took her position in the back of the line, so she could

watch all the "young and cute ones"

but

The Instructor had another idea, which ended Mom

as the front of the line

when the instructor changed things up!

Too funny indeed, she says it was "fantastic"

she enjoyed all, all enjoyed all

and

now

Mom, COB, is

our

Zumba Queen

going for it in 2011

as she keeps the roads hot in the cold of VA in January!

Bravo Mom, I am ever so proud

as you

STOMP

into this New Year!

Everything you do

Begins with YOU

Gratitude

Blessings

Intention

Self-Care

Love

Give the Message to your Brain, to your Heart

so that your Brain can deliver it to your

Central Nervous System

consistently.

Step out of your "comfort-zone" you may just surprise yourself and like it out there.

BUCKLE UP >IT'S A NEW YEAR!

What's the plan for this day?

Taking the train, walking along side it

Brave enough to be the Conductor?

Many choices once again! “

"If you board the wrong train, it is no use running along the corridor in the other direction.” Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Take best care of YOU today,

enjoy all the richness of your world, your life

of

YOU

Practice random acts of kindness

just because

YOU CAN

Laugh out loud

just so you can hear your voice

(if that is,  you have one today)

Be grateful, very very grateful

BELIEVE

The fire is burning brightly, the embers are sparkly with their heat and crackling hot as the sage fills the air.

The smell fills the air, as thoughts join them in the wind

to all who are gathering here

and

those who know who they are.

We are with you always
