Balance

Balance is what I am seeking in my life right now.  I seem to over do it some times.  It is tough finding the balance that works for you, but I feel it is important to find balance and live by it.

I have a lot to be thankful for and everyday I make a point to remind myself of that fact.  Where I live we have had more than our share of rain, but at least we are not experiencing a horrific natural disaster like Haiti has/is experiencing.  It is truly a shame to see the sadness and pain that country is suffering through.

It’s important to remember that the little things in life are important.  All too often we get caught up in trying to live a life style we cannot afford, or that does not bring happiness.  Find the small pleasures in your life and see if you can be happy with those.

As for balance, I am still searching for the combination of things that will impact balance for me in a good way.  When I find that, I will share it with each of you who read my blog.  Oh heck, who am I kidding…. No one but me reads my blog (LOL) and you know what?  That’s okay  by me.

I will be meeting with car club this weekend who wants me to design a website for them.  I am super excited about this opportunity.  This is part of my balance – for sure.

Okay then I am going to rest and visit with my friend for the remainder of the evening.  I will blog about Europe this weekend, and, time permitting, I would like to blog about green living too.

Have a great weekend!  ~Think Clear~


Is Money the Answer?

The way I’ve heard it is like this…If you are a nice person and get a large amount of money, then you will continue to be nice, possibly donate money to a charity.  But, if you are a bad person, then you will do a lot of things that are not good.  You may even get in trouble with the law, waste your money, or even let people use you.

Will having money make you feel happy?  I don’t think so.  I just want enough to pay the bills,  live life and travel when I want to travel.  If I am not traveling, then I will be writing about my travels.  That is the way I would love to live out my days on earth.

There are too many things in the way of allowing me to do this.  Believe me if I could go, I would be gone

When You Don’t Know What to Do

How many times have you felt like you don’t know what to do?  Once in your life, once a year, once a month, once a week, once a day, or many times each day?

What happens when you take down  your guard only to be hurt even deeper by the same person?  Should you trust again? If so, how long should you wait?  If not, should that person be out of your life forever?

All I know is just when I feel like progress is being made, something comes up that makes me not trust.  My normal routine is only to trust once, but I am not sticking to my normal routine.

I better rethink all this and start making some decisions based on what I want to do with my life.

That’s it for now, **Think Clear**

PS> I wish I had someone to blog with about this entry!!


The Daily “To Do” List

Greetings All,  Are you a list person?  Do you need the list to keep yourself on track?  Do you need your list so you don’t forget what needs to be done?  Do you need a to do list because you won’t do anything unless you see it on paper, or on your PC?  Perhaps it’s a combination of several of the above reasons.

Do you rate yourself you how much you accomplish from your daily list?  What happens if you just never get one of the “to do” items finished by the end of the year?

I am a list person FOR SURE!!!  Ask anyone that really knows me.  Some days I wake up thinking I am going to do this or that or the other thing, and then I read my “to do” list (Thank God).  At that moment, I am reminded that I have 2 writing deadlines and I have to take my father to his doctor’s appointment.

It’s at that moment I am so thankful to be list person.  The other part I like is when I can put a line through something on my “to do” list which means that I have completed something. That is such a good feeling.  Just knowing that you’re making progress is a good feeling.

The moral of this little story is that it’s okay if have a daily “to do” list, and it’s okay if you don’t have one move either.  Just do whatever works for you!!  We all function differently so some of us will love lists while others can’t stand them.  There is no right or wrong. It all about moving forward with your life.

Have a great week>>> **Think Clear**

Just Keep Trying

There are times no matter how hard I try to “Clear my Head” so I can get on track, I just am not able to do it,  so I “just keep trying” and even then sometimes things don’t improve.  Today is one of those days. Even though the weather outside was perfect for me.  I don’t like it too hot.  I worked in my garden and that didn’t help.

The truth be told that I am worried about my father who is battleing with Parkinson’s disease (as I’ve mentioned before) and I just pray that we can continue to work together so he can retain his independence.  That’s so very important!  I’m sure if anyone who thought about losing their independence they would quickly realize that after that’s taken away from you, what’s left?

I often put myself in my father’s shoes.  I find that it gives me more patients, more compassion and allows me to preform even better for him when I’d rather be enjoying myself at a club hot rod event.  Life doesn’t always turn out the way you want, or the way you plan, but I pray to God that I am lucky enough to have someone take care of me when I get old, allowing me to maintain my independence as long as possible.  I don’t mind having to take the bus.  I’ll even leave the country where I am so very happy as living in town will open more doors to independence.  So, for now, I guess I will just keep trying……..  All the best to you and yours!


Back on Track

Hello All,

It’s good to be back. I’ve been unavailable while dealing with several of life’s issues, but now, I am back.  I’ve lost a lot of time building up my blog so, with your help, away we go……  Yee Haa!!!

I want to make a point to enter something in my blog everyday for 2 weeks, starting tonight.  Even if  it’s only a few sentences.  The reason I created this blog is to provide a place for others (and myself) to come and share thoughts, share feelings about life, or something more specific.

The concept is to let your stress go and/or share your successes with us and just clear your mind to enable yourself to “Think Clear” thus the title of my blog.

I really do try to start every day with a clean slate.  I try to stop and listen to the birds and find something to be thankful for in my life.  As I get older, it becomes much easier to be thankful.  I wonder why that is?

Well, that’s it for tonight.  My thoughts and prayers go out to all my family and friends that are fighting health issues, life’s stresses, or they need support.  My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you that I don’t know that need support in some way, shape or form.  I’ll chat with you tomorrow, kay??? Nighty Night for Now.
