July 7, 2008 Check In

[Flo]

Good morning all! I hope you enjoyed your July 4th long weekend. Beautiful sunny weather over here in the Pacific Northwest. I go on holidays in three weeks. Ahhhh, why do we wait so long to take a break.

You know I woke up this Saturday with the crystal clear realization that today was the first day of my life. Amazing. Then I saw a movie on TV yesterday - Last Holiday was it? - about a woman who is diagnosed with brain cancer - three weeks to live...then I saw something else about actors and an exercise they were given - to talk to their dead corpse lying on the ground - what woud you say to it...Me? I'd say, why do you get so upset over nothing, why do you worry about everything, why waste so much time not being happy...then, my horoscope for today:

"Some people take life very seriously. They let everything get to them. They fuss, fret, worry and hurry. They whine and opine. They nurture resentment and foster fury. What a shame they can't all be laid back, mellow, easy-going and good humoured, like you. An alignment from Venus to Pluto implies a way to turn a tense situation into a source of celebration. Just don't let someone else's problem become your problem too. Refuse to get bogged down in an unnecessary drama."

Interesting huh? What is the universe trying to tell me? Don't wait to be happy...and really this state is only one of the gifts received since I quit smoking.

Love to you all everyone. Have a great smokeless week.

Day off and in between mowing the front and back yards.

I notice that cigarettes are cheaper than gas...if I could run the car off of cigs I might want to buy them again.

Don...it is good to hear that things are normalizing for you and your family. Now if we could just get some alternative fuel choices so the economy will normalize some...can i hear an amen!!! I'd settle for lower gas prices.... :0)

Thanks Slim. Amen to the lower gas prices...at least we aren't forking over for the outrageous price of cigarettes now.

And amen from me too. Someone recently sent me an e-mail about a car that runs on compressed air....being made in India, I think. It has to be charged nightly, and re-fueled at any service station from the tire pump! But they showed 3 models. What an idea! Of course then the price of air will go up and we'll have to quit breathing.

Here and what can I say about the gas prices that hasn't been said? I certainly don't like them. Maybe someday the price will come down some.
