Broken Places

Ernest Hemingway certainly lived life to the fullest. He did about everything the most interesting man in the world pretends to do on the commercials.  After the ups and downs of life he made an interesting statement.  One which I really like, he said;

"The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places."


It requires a herculean effort to become strong at the broken places.

Mowing the truck

Nothing says white trash like mowing around the truck! In my defense, I can't drive it, it blocks the hoop in the driveway so it stays over the pine tree stump.
I will continue to mow around it but you have to be careful on the tires with the trimmer!

Real or Imagined

It is concerning when the significant boundary between what is real and what is imagined becomes blurred beyond recognition.   

Life becomes a much scarier thing when what is real seems imagined and what is imagined seems real.  Or some combination of those two.  Can't keep my balance as if the ground was continually shifting under my feet.

If what is going on between my ears was a movie it would be a tough one to follow but it sure would be interesting. 

Anger

Not shaping up to be a good day.  Some days it is a full time job to get my head screwed on strait.  Anger, frustration and irritation are the feelings of the day. 
Hoping to turn that around today.   

Water

I was told yesterday by someone who knows a lot of stuff about a lot of stuff (I'm sure you all know someone like that) that Epilepsy can be cured by drinking lots and lots of water.  Sounds simple.  While I don't believe a word of it desperation has me drinking a gallon of water today!
This is why desperate people make good sales marks.  We are willing to try about anything.
By the way, I hate drinking water in the morning.

Focus

My focus is just a little off. 
Sitting at my desk and popped a handful of grapes into my mouth only to discover after a few seconds that it was a pile of loose change not grapes.  Terrible. Nickles, dimes and pennies make a poor substitute for grapes. 

Little Boxes

"Little boxes" by Walk off the Earth.
Fantastic song.  

Made me think about how well we pigeon hole ourselves and others.  Don't allow yourself to get boxed in by predefined parameters. 

Go out and get what you want!
