Life is a series of situations. Since we are alive, we really have no choice but to partake in these situations. The more mentally aware we are, the better we can assess and analyze the continuous situations we are uniquely a part of.

It is like driving a car, in fact...driving a car is part of life...but, like driving a car, we are constantly watching around us and assessing, so we drive safely.

If our minds are cluttered with self-conscious thought or other contaminating thoughts...our ability to assess and analyze begins to diminish.

Eating healthy is great for the mind and its function, as well as exercise.

I would even say meditation is helpful....anything that has our ability to consciously be more aware and assess when we are involved in our own personal situations...helping us to make proper decisions that fit ourselves and personalities best...should make our lives more enjoyable and easier.




HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY MOTHERS.

Place is empty
Only the last few hanging on...
Soon the halls of CS will be empty only frequented by ghosts and zombies

Anyone else remember their dreams? I been having some weird one's lately.

As Bob Marley wrote, "Want More", or " It That Cap Fits, Go and Wear It". When we and our families have a decent life style, pays to be grateful, and to think a bit before coveting much else. Root of much unhappines. Just sayin'. Aa.

Are you hungry?

Everyone is hungry.

Just that everyone has a different level of an empty stomach.

Give a homeless person a dollar....they are greatful

Give a millionaire a dollar...they look with disgust.

this example is with money...

but....it fits with everything a human values...

including a mate

Every so often you come to wonder what It is to find yourself thinking. The thoughts flowing through your mind as though they are beyond your control, almost as though you are simply witnessing your mind at work rather than decisively choosing your thought process consciously. This in any case is what is happening; for you to be aware of your thoughts only to the extent of witnessing them unfold across your mental screen as though played before you in glimpses. Then it should become apparent quite quickly that you are not your brain. Your brain is chemicals & signals, you are your soul who wears the body as a sort of suit in which to interact with the physical world. Therefore “witnessing” the thoughts the body has if not managed consciously.

Free concert, in elderly residential home, by an all female A Cappella group. Not that cheap old curmudgeons savor free musical venues. "Ellacappella", all 10 members, ages from 20's to 78, have been performing here on the stunning Maine coast for years. For a listen, go to . But here's the real kicker for us tight wads. Local river runs to pristine ocean down some challenging rapids, used by kayakers, and on either shore are the best wild mussel beds I've ever seen. And I've been around. In ten minutes, at low tide, one has a 5 gallon bucket full. Fresh, sweet, free ---and almost no sand or pearls. Just tear off the beards, and steam the suckers up. Can you say Mussel Zuppa? Chowder? Or just eat far too many steamed up plain with a baguette, butter and Chardonnay. Fun 45 minute drive from here---about three hour direct route under sail, if the wind isn't on my nose. I'm grateful that it is still possible to eat for free, if one looks. But not like my younger yeras in beautiful rural central Pennsyltucky. Mushrooms, fishing, where to begin? Aa,

It wasn't so long ago that people in many countries were spending as much as a quarter of their waking lives in front of the ubiquitous "idiot box"; we were idiots watching a box filled with idiocy; eating dinner with it, going to sleep with it, waking up to it. Such a lovely dilemma...All the jokes about "couch potatoes" and "idiot boxes" disguised a grave Truth, one that few people were willing to acknowledge or even say aloud: our collective intimacy with television had grown into a full fledged psychological dependency, the damaging effects of which were becoming painfully aware on many levels as we were all being "dumbed down".
Things changed drastically by the turn into this century. The allure of being seduced by television, which many feared as invulnerable, had been abruptly compromised. Mainstream support for TV Turnoff Week became widespread, and a number of demographics TV viewership had actually fallen. At the same time, however, the amount of time spent staring at computer screens, playing usually violent video games, and using cell phones rose dramatically.TV may have been 'dethroned' as it were as the King of our homes, but that throne has swiftly found new tenants. Today the electronic environment dominates our work places and our homes, and, for many, any connections with nature and even local community has been all but severed and most of us sit alone and in isolation...
An old quote from Huxley seems to fit this situation, "Only the vigilant can maintain their liberties, and only those who are constantly and intelligently on the spot can hope to govern themselves effectively by democratic procedures.
A society, most of whose members spent a great deal of time not on the spot, not here and now in the calculable future, but somewhere else, in the irrelevant other worlds of sports and soap operas, of mythology and metaphysical fantasy, will find it hard to resist the encroachments of those who would manipulate and control it."
Thoughts during the separation from TV anxiety continue...
