Thank you to all the fathers in the World. You are so very much needed by children everywhere -- not only your own children, yet by those who are friends, neighbors or those you coach or even by children that simply "see" you round and about. If you don't have children of your own - you can still lead by example.
By ACTIONS and words of course -- you have a strength that you might not recognize, acknowledge or be utilizing. Step up, stand tall - today, and every day.
Happy, Happy Father's Day!!!!!

OPPORTUNITY
Good Morning!!!! It is cloudy and gray this morning; however, there is no snow. Ahhhh. In preparing to physically move next Saturday from one home environment to another, a thought occurred to me.
What is it about moving that creates people to utter - "UGH!!!!!" Perhaps, being forced to making long delayed decisions about what to do with stuff. Or, the energy it takes to simply make changes. There are phone calls to change utilities, and there are more and more of them. Years past it was electric, gas, water, phone, insurance. Those continue and add Internet access, and others I have likely missed this time around.
Within 12 months in 2006 and 2007, I moved three times. Now in 2009, I'm moving again. Yet, as I'm listening to K-Love this morning, and again, making decisions about "stuff" that managed to survive the last three moves, I find myself smiling, energized and happy. As, the decisions have become easier to make. The new home demonstrates that when darkness falls, such as occurred in 2007, that by taking steps each day to move forward, the clouds will float aside and the "sun" will shine, although the air outside is cloudy. The new location has so many advantages to where I am now.
Each day I continue to live GRATEFULLY for everything that occurs. Also, being aware that this minute right now is what is important, and the next one will be as it occurs.
Hey -- HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL THE DADS OUT THERE!!!!!!!!. Thoughts about male bashing - perhaps, unfair and to some not deserved. Yet, a thought - is that women were oppressed for so long, and in some cultures it continues. Making changes and raising boundaries can be VERY LOUD before standards are established and life settles into a soft, loving pattern that is inclusive.
Back to focus on moving within the next few minutes.
Cheers!!!!! "Squeeze joy each minute....."

Who is in the Driver's Seat?
Recently in a Sunday sermon the pastor referenced the programs at church, and, especially, the small groups. They are designed to support, and they are not designed to do the work or create the program or be what I refer to as the driver in your life. They are points of interest on a Christian road map. Yet, each individual is designed to be their own driver.
If in your life the driving has been left to someone else, then you are likely, using them as an excuse for not being the person you want to be. Consider stepping into the driver's seat in a different fashion. It is no longer the other person's fault for cutting you off. By thinking differently, making it my responsibility the thoughts shift to, "Perhaps I was following too close and did not leave enough room." This is not a victim's thought, it is a relaxed person's thought.
Yet this is not the driver's seat I was originally referring to. Wake up tomorrow morning, with the idea that YOU are the driver and are able to change direction both literally and figuratively.
Happy Travels!!!!

OPPORTUNITY
GOOD MORNING!!!!! Wow - the sun here in upstate NY is bright, and that is a very sweet treat.
It occurred to me this morning, and I will admit most, not all mornings, that the day as my eyes open and I awake, is full of OPPORTUNITY.
Regardless of where your mind is at the moment, or whatever your experiences at the time -- the day provides opportunity. When your mind, your feelings and your actions match - then positive flow and ebb is very apparent.
Oops missed the quote today; yet, that is the sweet thing about each day, each hour, each minute - there is opportunity.
Oh, and thanks so much to the two Coaches who took the opportunity to comment. It is delightful to hear from you, and thank you for hanging around. If you would like to connect - send me an e-mail. Isn't it what we recommend - not to sit quietly in the background or the closet-- live, share and experience. Hmmm - your thoughts?
Cheers -- "Squeeze joy each minute......

An acknowledgement - and, something old, yet new....
First - CHEERS and a large THANK YOU to the SU group for not only reading the blog, yet rising to the challenge. With an actual result. If you did not read the comment - they did an experiment with Swiffers and the "Always" (copyright) feminine pads apparently won. Not certain of the criteria, yet they were the voted winner.
That is acknowledgement #1 - the next one is the "Swiffer" (copyright) is the correct spelling. I do apologize for that error.
Next - something old, yet new. Quotes!
“Focusing on the problem reinforces it. Focus on the results, problems will take care of themselves.” Thomas Leonard
This, to me is brilliant. A focus on anything brings that "thing" into your life. If you focus on what you don't want - you will get more of what you don't want. If you focus on opportunity - you will get opportunity. For example, my day job is an opportunity. I'm learning much! And that is what I love to do - learn. Therefore, it is an opportunity.
As the weeks go by I will introduce Thomas Leonard to some who do not know him, and reconnect others, like myself who had the honor to meet him and I want to continue to celebrate him.
Cheers!

A BIT OF CLEANING VALUE
Did feminine pads bring me out of semi-retirement from blogging? You bet ya!! My focus since I created this blog is of value to the reader. This morning, May 13, 2009, I read an article in the local "Democrat & Chronicle." The title was deceiving, yet it was a note worthy article.
How many people have not used a "Swifter" floor cleaning product. They are marvelous, especially with laminate or hard floors. Well, what the article this morning mentioned is that $ store feminine pads will work as well as the "Swifter" pads. Have I tested them, no; however, it is such a simple, yet brilliant idea I felt compelled to pass it along. Perhaps the guys at SU could create a science project from it.
This perhaps is not a noteworthy return to blogging; however, it might save you a bunch of money this next year if you clean, at all.
Squeeze joy.........

Be What You Say
"People may doubt what you say, but they will believe what you do." - Lewis Cass
This thought continues to creep up in my life. Especially with dating. When first meeting someone, the idea is to have great discussions, and learn about each other. What I discovered with one man, ok, more than one, was that what they said did not match their actions.
I continue to wait for the man who is dreaming of me, to discover me. And, for the man I am dreaming of, to be that one who is dreaming of me. Sound too perfect to be true, perhaps. This is the only life we have; however, and that will be a perfect example of The Law of Attraction in action.
Suggestion: Use all of your senses - your INSTINCT, your ears, your eyes and then your mouth, perhaps last.
I'm a bit rusty with writing; however, it is delightful to be a bit back. Thank you very much for the encouragement. I'll keep you posted, and don't hesitate to share what you are doing and working on.
Here's a thought - name a subject that this group can mull over. Anything on your mind?
Happy Monday!
