When you really know in your gut, DNA, heart and mind what your path is, your life will kick into high speed. So will your challenges. How do you know you are moving forward in the right direction? By the intensity of your focus.
There will be distractions but they will be momentary and brief allowing you to refocus quickly.
How magnificent is that!
Happy Creating.
Hey Gang.
Yes it’s been a while since Thoughtful Thursdays was posted. Today’s post is about the Queensborough Public Library
I have loved the library since I was little. Every week since forever ( since I was little) I have taken out library books. Even today I took out books. This is my own public plug for all libraries. Where can you get books Like Seth Godin’s enormous collection of business books? Or Christine Perillo’s cookbook series. And classics like Shakespeare, Dante, Madeline, Curious George, Dr. Seuss.
Any book I have an interest in I check with the library first. 99% of the time they have it. Right now I am reading Margaret Atwoods “Negotiating with the Dead” suggested reading from Stephen King’s book “On Writing”. Both books I got from the library.
With the onset of e books, Nooks, IPads and such the library is not going anywhere. They will keep up to date with technology for sure. There’s nothing like the comfort of knowing the library will continue to be around for a long time.
So go there, get a library card, meet the great people who work there, cool off or warm up. It’s a place to learn or just socialize.
Happy Reading.

Mountains of Colorful Cats.
Tiny Itty Bitty Cats.
Cats that run and Jiggle.
Stand on their heads and Wiggle.
Upside down Tricks and Dancing Brown Kittens.
There’s happy Cats.
There’s snoozy Cats.
Cats that chase butterfly’s.
Cats that flip upside down.
Cats that like toys.
Cats with long fur and short fur.
Cats are quiet.
You can’t hear them walking.
Talking Cats.
Running up a tree Cat.
Spying on birds Cats.
I love Cats that nap in the sun.
I love Cats that play with bunnies.
I love Cats with cold noses.
I love Cats and they love me.
There are occasions that all of us played a part in the blame for something. Our part in the blaming event has become hidden in forgetting what we did with whom. We cannot recall the events or actions of the time. Or maybe we have gone into denial of what was actually done.
It is helpful to be aware that an error in judgment or misunderstanding is more about choosing the wrong option at the time. As soon as you realize this it is your opportunity to change direction. Perhaps you are partly to blame. If so, admit it. At that moment you make the choice not to repeat the same mistake again.
If you make the choice not to repeat the same mistake and slip up, take heart and keep trying. You will succeed.
Happy trying.
Once upon a time there was a little brown bear. His name was Henry. Henry loved to spend his days in the Spring flower beds. He would pick pink, green, yellow and blue flowers for his Mom. His Mom loved every flower Henry brought home. Henry found honeycomb with sweet honey. The honey spilled on his chin. Mom brought the honeycomb home for a sweet treat. Henry counts butterfly’s. One, Two, Three. Oh, one landed on his nose. Gentle butterfly. A ladybug sits on a green leaf and wavers hello to Henry. “Hello” says Henry. It’s time for bed. Mom has made a soft bed of pillows and toys. “Good nite Henry, I love you.” said Mom. “Good nite Mom, I love you too Mom.” said Henry. He fell fast asleep.
I hate when I procrastinate. Procrastination kills time, motivation, ideas, winning and anything else that is worthwhile doing. I have come to the conclusion to kill procrastination be like the Nike ad. “Just Do It”.
Enough said.
Here in New York City we haven’t had much of a winter. Not that I am complaining because we have had our share of bad winters. I’m sure we will have more normal winters but this year the jet steam has favored us. I noticed that the little green buds are already out on the bushes, crocus are already blooming and the trees are shedding winter and the wind is blowing the old winter air away. The weekend we turn the clocks forward.
Spring is here again. Time for new beginnings and happy endings. It’s time to start something new. To begin anew one must start small. Really small and build upon that. Like walking a little extra to move those tired bones. Swing those arms to get the blood flowing. Don’t worry about looking foolish, in fact, others will follow your lead.
Have you ever noticed, as soon as the weather gets nice, tons of people are out. Walking, running, biking, dog walking, shopping, chatting, gardening, car washing, deeply breathing in and out.
So get outside and do outside stuff. Before it rains.
Happy Spring.
Once upon a time there was a cat named Moe
He took a ride on a boat to row
Off to China to find his friend Crow
After much adieu from friends and foe
Moe took off and the wind did blow
Moe found Crow in China’s grotto
Crow said Moe I don’t want to go
Moe was sad and bid bye to his bro
See you soon pal at the next road show
Don’t feel low if your friend is a so and so
Go to the diner and get a sloppy Joe
Moe is happy he didn’t have to undergo
Anymore woe from his ex-friend Crow
Who ended up being a real Joe blow
Moe went home with a row, row, row
Back to friends and foe
Where’s Crow they wanted to know
He refused to come back woe, woe, woe
It’s better this way I know
Better to let go of long ago
Time to outgrow the status quo
Change is good from head to toe
Wanna make my life a picture show
And not hold back from electric glow
Just like Santa with a Ho, Ho, Ho
I will move forward with streamline flow
It occurred to me today that we waste too much time dealing with other peoples stuff. What I mean by stuff is other peoples power plays and attitudes. At times there will be several people who are at you for their own reasons and those reasons are hidden from view so they can’t be read. That’s stinky stuff. The hidden incognito stuff that you can feel but is disguised by some attitude or power play. For example, someone in your office decides you are not doing your job good enough (because their hidden agenda is jealousy) so this person rouses the powers that be and you are under the microscope. How should you respond? Respond with the facts, keep your cool and stick to your own stuff. Don’t be dragged into the drama. It’s hard to do but as we live day to day there are plenty of chances to practice.
You can do it. Don’t give up. And remember, as the saying goes, if someone is trying to drag you down, know that you are already above them.
