It's a brand new day

 Nothing over exciting has happened in the last 24 hours. I am continuing to read and practice and I'm finding small successes in my areas that I am practicing on my body. Obviously bones cannot be corrected. I really bad problem with my hips and have had for over 50 years I don't expect this to change I do however have less pain by using the hands-on method and the correct exercises. The pain in my neck has gone it does come and go but using hands on yesterday It went away and it hasn't come back yet I will continue to work on that area I am continuing to work on all the other same areas. I have found one thing interesting . I have a CPAP machine and I am pretty much coerced into using it by my spouse if I don't use it I will hear about it forever so I use it for about four hours every night. the last three nights that I have been using reiki before I go to bed on my core body my apnea is have almost tripled so last night I only used Reiki on my neck and above and my a

 Results are promising. I'm concentrating on the area of my body were there are issues. My hips have been weak and I have had problems standing for more than short periods of time. Reiki has helped and they are slowly improving.  I have problems with the back of my neck. One short session brought immediate releif. 

 I am so close to my 74th birthday that I can feel it's hot air breathing down my neck. Up to now I feel that I have not been the best I can be or given the most that I can give to myself or the world. I have always felt there was something left for me to do. I'm still not sure that I found it, but I keep trying. And probably will keep trying to the day I die. I have fooled around with reflexology over the years. I know that it feels good and it works if you keep up with it. Which I haven't. Like most things in my life. But I keep going back to it so there must be something there. I have also read and looked into and dealt with Buddhism and Reiki and chakras over the years. I like what I've seen. I feel a kinship to Buddhism and follow a lot of their precepts.  within the last week I started reading up on Reiki which is close to all the things Buddhism is about.  I can do this I am going to check into it further, read up and study on it.  Several days ago I am actually

I gave up writing a couple years ago. No support or ability to write in quiet time. Every once in awhile I get the urge again. Today it became apparent that I was never so content as when I was able to write. Now what am I going to do about it. Answer; flash fiction. If the urge sticks, I will read, study and make outlines. Time will tell.  

This from the man who calls himself ‘governor of the State of Florida’. Really.... how to you attend church service and stay six feet apart. Anyone take a picture of that, let me know. What are “Essential Activities?” Some of the essential activities that will be permitted during this statewide shutdown include: Attending religious services Going to grocery stores Going to gas stations Going to healthcare facilities Going to pharmacies Going to childcare centers Taking care of pets and caring for or otherwise assisting a loved one or friend

The statistics are gruesome. We feel that this virus will get us, no matter what we do. We ARE doing everything we were told to do. I clan tell you now, if we get it ,it will be a death sentence for us both. Because we are symbiotic if one of us gets it the other one will. The hospitals will finish off the job.   My only consolation is, we will not leave a survivor. We are not afraid to die, but it is not something we are looking forward to. If it is my family who reads this and has survived, please know that I wish you well and much happiness. Keep in mind that the world situation is cyclical. And that each one of us as humans is only a passing piece of dust in the grand scheme of the universe. What is most important thing is how you perceive your reason for being here, and how you spend your time as a participant of the body you occupy.

I am not a Christian or a believer in the fantasy of the Bible so it could be said that I do not believe these times we live in are ‘BIBLICAL’. but I do believe they were foreseen, but ignored. It’s my belief that if you voted for this president, you are no better than he is. Don’t give the excuse that he is a leopard that can he change his spots. He can’t and the signs were all there and you ignored them, and now he is laughing at you. So suck it up and get rid of the disease while we have the chance to repair the damage. Listening to him speak, and that can be painful, the sound of his ignorance and lack of intelligence is obvious/. He was suppose to be the cure, but the illness is destroying us.

My best friend and soul mate tells me her father had many sayings he cherished. One of them being ‘Don’t take life seriously, you won’t get out of it alive.’ I believe too many of us have forgot how to laugh. Especially at ourselves. I have tried for years to find out what I am good at. I have tried many things and succeeded at none. I don’t know what makes me happy. And that is a sad tribute to my 73 years on this earth. I have, however come to terms with my mortality and have been studying the teachings of Buddha and am at peace that I do not have to be a Mother Theresa to have worth. With the time I have left, no matter what that is, I will do everything in my power to laugh and have a good time everyday. If it doesn’t bring me joy, it’s not worth doing it.   It’s called living in the moment.

Since Jay has heart issues and we are both over 70, there was no other alternative than to hibernate. Most people are, even though our idiot governor won’t make it mandatory. I am sure he does not want to rile the president, since they are such good buddies. We are doing well. There is a full pantry and freezer. Starting to run out of fresh fruits and veggies, but we are managing nicely. Decided we would start some of our summer projects. It’s a great time for reflecting on life. Where we have been and what lies ahead.
