relaxing: REMINDER TO KEEP IT SIMPLE (life pace)
- 09/28/19 06:11 AM
Kids have no trouble with this concept of telling or saying it just like it is. Even if they fail etiquette, mainstream or higher level learning standards they still are using simplicity to make themselves and their wants known and we like children for it. We smile, laugh, encourage and instruct but lets not forget the innocence behind and driving it all
WHAT PREVENTS SIMPLICITY?
1. The ego for one. It has to make itself a part of everything and since it cannot add to what is so apparently working it tends to complicate for its contribution. It says in effect: You need … (40 comments)

relaxing: E-Z STILL DOES IT
- 07/20/17 06:24 AM
When in a rush, a willful world of making something happen is at work. I refer to it as being in a type of game show you know those shows where contestants have to do something under the gun which is a time sentence. Not only do you get penalized if you don't come in on time, but the prize eludes you as well. This is on the edge living & entertains and stimulates. I prefer a more natural interaction
RELAX
Have you ever noticed a human being stressing out? Its not a default dynamic but closer to an unnatural action. Not only that, it brings about … (9 comments)

relaxing: WHAT IS HOME?
- 05/20/17 09:52 AM
You know how when you step away from something, it then dawns on you how much you appreciated it. Works with everything too. There is something about the nature of a human that causes this. The current state of the housing market for whatever reasons has brought deep feelings about home once again.
YOU NEED A STARTING POINT AND A DESTINATION TOO
People need a place to lay their heads. All during the day, you know where you will be toward the end of it and nearing that end, you rush home to be there. HOME...no place like it. Get me there! Almost … (12 comments)

relaxing: THE OBVIOUS ESCAPES US WHY?
- 08/23/16 12:27 AM
I am reminded of the woman who frantically was looking all around her home for her reading glasses one day only to give up the search, sit down, dejected and full of failing and perplexity and finally lowering her head so that she could cup her face & cry and discovering the glasses sitting up there, on her head waiting for her
RIGHT THERE
All that time, from the first thought to reach for them, discover they were not there, retrace all her steps, search hi and lo, repeat it all, go through all her range of motions only to discover that everything she … (4 comments)

relaxing: TOOL TO HELP CALM DOWN AND RELAX
- 09/07/15 03:57 AM
It creeps up on you. Its called STRESS, AMBITION and WILLFULNESS and the first casualty is the one from whom it is coming from not going to; a common misconception. Those that have become too entwined in an outcome, goal, want, or situation and find signs of impatience, anger, frustration and vindictiveness with blame, excuses and failure starting to materialize will make good use of this suggestion
MUST BE HEARD TO WORK
This tool is easy implement, works every time and does one very important dynamic that is part of the cure. It doesn't raise your defenses or the other guys when applied. It can be used … (12 comments)

relaxing: THE POWER OF PAUSE
- 10/14/14 11:18 PM
Technology today is promoting better, faster and cheaper now more than ever. Tech start-ups are booming and making killings because now," instant" just got quicker and apps support that. Remember the think before you speak? That is turning into speak before you think. Emails and texts can now be sent sooner. But should they?
FASTER THAN YOU
It is hard to take back what goes out now a days. Perhaps bringing back the system of pause and reflection may bring quality instead of quantity back on point. Often I read something online and wonder what that person was thinking when they posted it. Aah, … (3 comments)

relaxing: THE SOUNDS OF LITTLE CHILDREN PLAYING
- 07/16/14 03:36 AM
I heard it from a distance. I was riding my bike on a quiet street and heard the soft murmuring and interacting of innocent voices in the near distance all having their say whatever it was and making the most of the moment they were in and it came across as a joyful noise, one of pleasure, excitement and well being. Young kiddies playing at random
LETS GET THIS OUT OF THE WAY
Okay... I remember when my kids were young and they got together sometimes and it wasn't pleasant and yelling, screaming and arguing sometimes reared its ugly head. But hey, that's what parents are … (4 comments)

relaxing: GOING TO THE BEACH
- 06/22/14 12:08 AM
I went yesterday and the weather was perfect, the water surprisingly warm, the waves surf-able and the never ending array of people does not disappoint. All ages, families, sizes and shapes, there they were from singles to groups doing what you may ask? It is so simple it bears mention
MEDITATION COMES NATURAL
First off, everyone is facing the Ocean. There is something about being around water and the effect of it that we all share all over the world. It does calm and sooth. People like to gaze out over the water without being told to do so. When you add … (8 comments)

relaxing: WHAT HAPPENED TO THE KID?
- 05/26/14 07:23 AM
We started out as kids. We liked it and being a kid is something that never goes out of style but in some people it does go missing. WHY? Whatever happened to the fun part of doing whatever it is you are doing and why so serious when getting it done?
LETS BE CHILDISH
Look, I know certain things require an adult and for people to be adult like. I get it. However, how about bringing a balance to the party and letting the inner kid join us? Consider that in every adult, there is a child. Now that child never … (6 comments)

relaxing: THE BRAKES OF LIFE
- 03/28/14 07:26 AM
Whoa and slow down just a bit. WHY? Your passing up the sweet smell of flowers, the clouds waving to you as they go by, the sights and sounds of other life and your not seeing your like kind but instead your blinders are working and you went from three dimensional to one...You are too fixated on something
WHAT HAS YOUR ATTENTION
What is so important that it is causing you to go from point A to point B without staying in the moment while you are doing it? It is not the destination but the journey. Let those words sink in. Pause … (2 comments)

relaxing: THIS WAS AND STILL IS LOTS OF FUN
- 03/10/14 04:00 AM
Riding a bike. It is inviting to all ages. For the young, it is something they will never forget. That feeling of when you took off on your own perhaps on three wheels and then one day on two is one of the biggies of life. Then, moving to the other end of the scale, when you see this...
GRACE ON WHEELS
An elderly man or woman riding a bike it is like watching a swan pedal as they go by. They are graceful, deliberate, slow but steady and the little kid once again is the one pushing the pedals. This invention of riding … (10 comments)

relaxing: BE THE WORD OR BE THE WISE
- 01/22/14 02:09 AM
A WORD TO THE WISE. The two key points in the title are the 'word' and the "wise". If one recognizes what is being said as beneficial, then wise kicks in automatically. If one doesn't, then the "word" cannot complete its cycle. It goes elsewhere looking for someone that can appreciate it
LEARN FROM THIS
That's why it is important to learn from your mistakes and not just clean them up. There be a lesson there or two and sucking the marrow out of the occasion is wise food. You not only eat wisdom but you give it out as well.
SENSE … (5 comments)

relaxing: HERE IS SOMETHING GUARANTEED TO RELAX YOU
- 01/15/14 01:34 AM
You have done this on occasion but I am willing to bet not recently. When you did do it, you loved it and it said quite a bit about you at the time. It involved sharing the way you feel and what you see and then creating that so that others can enjoy it too
THE COLORING BOOK
I am speaking of COLORING. Good old fashioned crayons and a coloring book of your choice. Many themes to choose from and remember when you were a kid, the most often repeated prompt when starting out on this was....
DON'T COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES
Color inside the lines! … (48 comments)

relaxing: DREAM AS IN AMERICAN DREAM NOT DREAM HOME
- 07/11/13 03:19 AM
It is important you see the difference between these two clearly and distinctly. The American Dream is to own a piece of America. WOW. Now that is something to accomplish. Now as to Dream home, that is when you buy the house that you always wanted and it has everything in it right there and right then. Now the American dream never goes away but the dream home needs to be looked at
WE'RE GOING DOWN!
We just came off a crash where everyone tried to create mansions or live beyond their means. That market could not hold and crashed hard … (6 comments)

relaxing: THIS PAUSE SYSTEM WILL HELP WITH LIFE
- 03/27/13 11:39 PM
What is the hurry about anything you are doing? Is your life one big game show with a clock ticking giving you so many seconds to respond or you will miss out on the Grand prize? Relax and consider the following: Slow down and assess what is actually going on by being aware, listening, and attuned to the moment.
RELAX A LITTLE BIT...will you?
Then, what we do best can be done which is to make a good decision via a choice. Use this little reminder as it may help fine tune your results and allow you less regrets...First off, … (9 comments)

relaxing: THE MESSAGE IS IN THE MASSAGE
- 02/17/13 12:05 AM
My friends...there are two types of people in the world. Ones that give massages and ones that receive. I am a receiver. I turned my body over to a professional and she went to work on it from head to toe sparing nothing. She told me about my body life, what I do too much of and what parts of my body are showing it and she it hit it 5 for 5. The body speaks says she and I said....Yes it does...oww!
BODY KNOTS BEGONE
Does that hurt she says? I meekly say yes and she begins to lecture and … (15 comments)

relaxing: WHATS THE HURRY?
- 06/18/12 02:00 AM
I discovered a long time ago to use TIME to my advantage. I came across this awareness by watching people who did not and the consequences that followed. The solution I came up with was a simple one. To always arrive early wherever I went. To be greater than my circumstances by dictating how I wanted things to go....
RISE AND SHINE
It begins by getting up early. Then, whatever your routine is follows. Perhaps coffee, newspaper, emails or exercise or a combo of it all. Then, a snack or meal to break the fast and off we go. Remember, we are … (8 comments)

relaxing: SIMPLE LITTLE THINGS THEY ARE SUFFICIENT AND HOLD
- 12/12/11 08:43 AM
I am relaxing on this day, in this moment deliberately set aside for myself to enjoy and behold. It is raining here all day and is quite pleasant to behold and receive. I complimented it with a nice warm fire (SEE BELOW) and my wife is in the kitchen and all over the house enjoying herself while Christmas music plays...I'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS
This scene has roots that go back, way back in time think: men and women, camp fires and a safe place to spend time...add a little chanting and some food...well its called simply.....LIFE
Happy Holidays

relaxing: MILITARY BOYS AND GIRLS COMING HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS
- 10/25/11 02:59 AM
Now that is good and worthy news. We had to take a fighting stand and we rose to the occasion. Now, it is time to move on and bring home some of the Military might of U.S. They stood for something worthwhile i.e. the American way, that special way of talking, living, and believing that over 350 million people all agree on
ITS JUST LIKE YOU IMAGINED
Well my military friends, its all here waiting for you. Your loved ones with out stretched arms, hugs, kisses and respect. In addition, all the hamburgers, sodas, chips, pizza, ice cream, hot dogs, french … (3 comments)

relaxing: TENSION BREAKS BREATH NEW LIFE INTO YOUR MOMENT
- 08/04/11 12:23 PM
People have many ways to let go of tension. I have seen people laugh and even though they are laughing, I knew it was from stress relief and not humor. I have also seen people yelling at others and I knew they were having a bad day and not the person they were yelling at. When your curt, impatient and even sarcastic, its time for a break
