Mindful Moments For The Day

I guess I have to admit that my mind….. what is left of it….. is somewhat captured by computers and electronic devices now …..in the physical and mental realms anyway but that is still not the first thing that I engage as i rise from bed each morning. —- Morning is more for bathroom trips, washing the face, shaving, showering, eating breakfast ……that sort of thing…..and that is where I do become a little bit normal….. if there is any such thing as normal —- but the computer does get his or her amount of attention each day, I can attest to that …… I guess I open it up at least 6 or 7 times a day now—have been using it to track my cdif symptoms for one thing ……keeping up with the national news is not the big hot pecker item on my agenda that it was a while ago…… i think I can see some mellowing happening over there in Washington, D.C., and some of the horns are being drawn in slightly —- I am still trying to figure out what all that means if it means anything at all.

At this present moment, the moment that you might be viewing this blog, I have changed it again to be a little reminiscent of one of the very first blogs that ever appeared on the Internet (Also known to some as the World-Wide-Web) —–and that was the (Is the blog) published by “Justin” called “Justin’s Links. A little history here:

Here is what Wikipedia says about it:

Justin Hall’s Justin’s Links from the Underground (links.net) is widely considered one of the earliest examples of a personal blog on the World Wide Web. Hall, then a student at Swarthmore College, launched the site in January 1994, initially as a list of links to interesting places on the nascent web. However, it quickly evolved into a personal diary, where Hall shared intimate details of his life, thoughts, and experiences, pioneering the genre of personal online sharing. Renamed in homage to Dostoevsky’s Notes from Underground, the site’s frank, conversational tone and frequent updates attracted a large audience, establishing Hall as a foundational figure—or, as the New York Times Magazine later put it, “the founding father of personal weblogging.”

I like to experiment with things as most of the people who have ever landed on this blog are fully aware—- i simply cannot stop trying new things….i know it must drive some people crazy sometimes …..but that is me …..restless as the wind—

Moving On Now…..

We are having chicken and dumplings for lunch again today—- we went to pay the car insurance today —- not as bad as expected —-not as good as it could be — but who can live without it?

I used to think of sleep as a sort of “Death” state but recently I have discovered that not only is sleeping fun but it has a lot to do with the way I feel throughout the day —- I think sleep might be some kind of healing element.

Jimmy likes to watch Pubic Broadcasting Television …… He like the stories about wild animals …. I like the ones about war and peace ….such as “The French Village.”

It is almost noon now so i guess I had better go and eat a few more calories to keep my weight stable.

Catch you later.’

love you all.
