Adrift upon life's waters

We are faced with so many choices in life. What kind of dog food to buy? The red or purple shirt? Between the kind words and the harsh. We only have this one life and we need to make sure those choices lead us to the person we want to be in that life. Uncertainty doesn't seem to have a place but it does and it is essential to boot. Without questioning those choices and the ripples that those choices bring to your life you can not be positive of the outcome. You must have a period of uncertainty before the certainty hits. I believe it's each of our duties to live our lives to the fullest we possibly can, to achieve the ultimate potential within us for whatever we excell at or wish to accomplish. When we are strong as our own person... we are collectively strong as a society. We can choose to drift aimlessly on a raft on life's waters... or we can let the ripples of our choices steer us to our goals.

Just a thought for the evening.

The dissolution of fears

Sometimes, we can face our fears head on... muster up the strength within us and just leap into that pool of fear and overcome them. Yet, there are even more times when that extra hand to hold is what does the trick. The gradual process of getting your feet wet with the support of someone who loves you. That's what really does it for the most part. It helps to know that we are not alone and that our fears aren't anything unusual. Once we get over them we can enjoy the waters of life to the fullest.

A clock in a hospital

I was in the hospital emergency room for a good portion of today. Another kidney stone. Apparently, once you have one... the chance of getting recurring stones is extremely great. I barely had to wait in the waiting room and everyone was very nice. Although, while I was laying in that bed hurting... I couldn't help but look at the clock. It was a very basic clock much like this one but not as fancy. I noticed a couple things..... the second hand looked just like an oversized red coffee stirrer and it hiccuped on the 6 at the 30 second point for exactly one second... so in reality.. time skipped a beat or gained an extra pulse. As I was getting sleepy from the nausea medicine I couldn't take my eyes off the black and white contrast of numbers and dots. I followed the bright red hand around the clock face until I was probably blue. In fact, my toes were blue from being chilly. Then a nice nurse gave me a heated blanket and I wanted to hug her. hehehe. I am home now and mobile for the most part... just waiting for it to pass.... or maybe it already has. Pesky time again...

Word of the day!

Potentate.

One who possesses great power or sway.


It's occurred to me that I have let my brain go mushy. I need to feed it more. So, here.. the word of the day.. learning new things!

Hmmm as I look at this meaning it makes me wonder about someone's real perception of power or influence and exactly how much I have on my surroundings. Something to ponder.
