Thoughtful Thursdays #13

Standard

this post disappeared.

I Love Cats

Standard

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.

Henry the Little Bear

Standard

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.

Freedom

Standard

In a very broad sense freedom is (according to the dictionary) is: The power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. Freedom is also seen as free will.

Procrastination

Standard

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.

New York City Weather

Standard

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.

 

 

Moe

Standard

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stuff

Standard

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.

The Holidays are over.

Standard

As much as I like the holidays I am always glad they are over. Too much work, stress and not enough resting. Now it’s back to a regular routine, work, bills and still no rest.

I am not a goal person. I just do what needs to be done and change what needs to be changed. So in the spirit of the new year it’s time for me to re-evaluate what needs to be changed and then just do it.

Happy New Year

Tired

Standard

I am so tired when I come home from my part time job as a delivery person. I deliver meals to seniors. Maybe you can guess the company. Well, I must say I am so tired at times I just sit around like a lump on a pickle instead of pursuing more creative things to do. I did manage to paint a small picture yesterday. Oh, I didn’t mention, not only do I write but paint too, and if time permits I sew and crochet. I am so happy when I am creating. Wish I could be creative all the time. Sigh.

Update: 2/13 I don’t work there anymore. Yeah
