I have been reading and listening to self help and spirituality, books and CDs. So, I am tempted to apologize for not entering a blog for 5 or 6 days--but, the CDs say that we need to not use excuses. So, I will say that life has taken me away from my computer and now I am back. It is good to be back and I hope someone reading this is glad that I am back.
Thought for the Day:
Try to go one day without uttering an excuse. You may be surprised how many times you use them.
I am looking forward to my day. It started early; I am up doing laundry and other things before the sun has risen. I will be tired tonight--early--but I am enjoying this time now and that is good.
I am embarking on a new adventure--at 51 I am going to go back to school and get a Master's--maybe even a PHD. WOW! I never thought I would do that. Well, I feel that we have to stay open to being lead by our life experiences. I feel I am being lead to go down this path. It feels a bit scary--but in a good way--like being at the top of the highest point of a roller coaster right before you start to plunge!!! (Well, that is, if you like roller coasters like I do.) I feel excited, nervous, but I know it will be an enjoyable ride with lots of twists and turns, some expected, some unexpected, but I bought the ticket, strapped myself into the seat, and here I go!
I am trying to see this as an adventure and not a chore or something I have to do. I want very much to be successful at this endeavor--but, at my age, if it does not work out--if I do not finish the whole thing, that will be OK too. That too will lead me to the next thing and life will go on. I will meet interesting people along the way and definitely learn a lot in the process. That in its self is good and worthy of much effort I think.
My hope for myself and for my readers is that you and I will go out into this world we live in today--make not excuses--just do our best and enjoy each other.
Take care,
MissT

Being Responsible
Responsible
That can be such a BORING word. Who wants to be responsible all the time. Don't we want to relax once in a while and be irresponsible?
Unfortunately or fortunately, that is part of being human and an adult. But, lately I have been thinking about responsibility in a different way. (This is more of the enlightened, contemplative, meditative, thinking so get ready.)
Taking responsibility and "owning" all of your own life circumstances is a BIG deal. That means that we leave all "EXCUSES" behind. I am listening to a CD set of a weekend retreat with Dr.Wayne Dyer on this subject--"EXCUSES BE GONE". He is a spiritual motivational speaker and has written some 34 books on the subject.
This is the second go around for me. I listened to all 7 Cd's over a week period and then just began listening to them all over again--right away. [They are that good.] On the "second listen" I am hearing things I missed the first time through. This "taking responsibility" for all of your own life circumstances is a big deal. That means that we can not "blame" anything or anyone but ourselves and our own choices. WOW! I guess that really is taking responsibility for yourself. When I try to do that for myself though, it really does feel good. It makes me feel so much more in control of my own life. If you do not waste time "blaming and making excuses" there is so much more time, and energy, left to solve problems or even see that there may not be a problem (you thought you had) at all. It has been a freeing experience for me. I highly recommend anything Dr.Wayne Dyer has written. I am a big fan!
