REFLECTIONS

I just saw this wonderful movie Juno  about a young girl who becomes pregnant and has to deal with the problems that it causes. Anyway, here's a song from the movie. This video shows the lyrics with a cute cartoon. Oh no! Guess what? A one man band!

While eating breakfast I looked at my plans for the day.  There was probably too much to do today, nothing fantastic mostly just the ordinary chores. I made good progress in straightening out the laundry room.  My plan is to break the work up into thirty minutes a day.  After a month it should be great. While riding my exercise bike I watched the old movie The Third Man.  I only use the bike for about forty minutes and the movie is long so it will take about three days to watch it all.  It's a very interesting plot with great angled views and a need to pay close attention. Lynette called me in the middle of my routine because she saw six wild turkeys walking across our backyard.  When I got to the back door there were only four of them left, moving too quickly before I could grab my camera. Later I sat back in a chair, my mind lost in thought.  I felt a little sad but no big deal, probably just tired.  The first photo and the last show the pictures I took just for t

I admit being a little obsessive about getting organized. Sometimes I spend more time getting organized than in actually doing much. Why? I fear missing out on something. I fear something harmful may happen if I'm not prepared. From Lost At Sea by Skye Taylor I want to have control of my life but I believe that only about 30% is actually under a person's control.  Most of life is like being at sea in a small sailboat tossed around by winds and waves. I want to avoid complications and confusion. But too much organizing will result in complication and confusion. Yet I find it in a way to be soothing even enjoyable. Maybe it's calming my anxiety by distracting me? It's possible that so much effort and time is a waste. Time spent organizing is time spent not enjoying the present moment. Any ideas about my "anxiety"? How do you get organized?

From the site: I like mine light brown and crunchy on the outside with a thin line of softness in the center.    If it doesn't come out perfect I'll still eat it except if it's burnt black all the way through.  On occasion,  I've scraped away some of the black burnt layer before eating the toast but only if it was a very thin burnt area. White bread is the best even though it may not be the healthiest. A whole wheat multi grain bread with nuts also works but there's something special about white bread. I take two pieces of toast, layer them and cut diagonally to form triangular pieces.  Some pieces will have only butter while other pieces will have a layer of jam or preserves over the butter.  Different flavors of jam on each piece is best. With eggs I butter all the triangular pieces of toast, eat three with the eggs and save the last buttered piece for some jam.
