F*CK IT LIST
Give up ‘stuff'( attached is a list), but Never Give In!
The Seven Year Pen
So… I had a Big Birthday. Huge number. Big, almighty geez.
How it affected me is unclear – to discover the scope of my thoughts, perspectives, and feelings is a reason to write, as you know. It’s amusing, not constraining. It keeps me off the street – and out of the bullpen of uncivil civilization, which seems to be all about critique and complaint.
So-and-so, I am.
Quartzsite Campers
Pour yourself a glass of Cardboardeaux, a beverage that we saw often in Quartzsite, AZ.
This minuscule berg consists of a few blocks of buildings hugging I-10, just across the CA border. It’s surrounds are vast expanses of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) sand, buttes, and scrub grass, and it’s population bulges in wintertime. I don’t care what hour it is as you read this, you’ll want to get in sync with the character of this piece, something of which we were direct witness when we visited the ginormous annual RV Rally and Show, spending several days amidst visitors camped in coaches.
Nirvana
What do you consider as peak achievement, a moment of zen? I’ve had many in my career as an SLP, many in my careers as loving wife, daughter, and friend. You’ve read some of them here. My life as a Miracle.
Now I’ll share a moment of writer zen, my nirvana peak of achievement. It’s all good.
Habits: the final word
While daydreaming is sometimes thought of as a form of procrastination or non-commitment – teachers view it as dilly-dallying from class work, making it a report card citation – the act is the genesis of the phrase ‘thinking outside the box’, with that black box being one’s own head, Bunky.

The Up Side of Bad Habits, cont.
As you know, I’m all about the Up Side of life – there always is one, in any situation, and among my talents is finding it fast. I wrote a book about it, ’twas the text of a talk that wowed women at my church. Look for it on the Books by Me page of this blog-driven Author Site.

Last week I began an exploration of bad habits that don’t require resolution for change – the ones that you may have already broken several weeks into 2015 – because they have boons and benefits. Let’s continue the trek –
Habits to kick or not, cont.
Cleanliness is not next to Godliness in all instances. I once destroyed the ‘K’ key on my keyboard when attempting to clean it, so that nothing was ‘OK’.
New Year’s Resolutions: Boon or Bust
All of us have bad habits, some badder than others.
Such as the people who break Commandments,Ten Commandments like ‘Thou shalt not murder… covet… or steal…”
According to a cutely credible pop culture book, ‘Everything Bad is Good for You’ by Steve Johnson, there is good news about some bad habits, though none of the ten. You’re going to hell if you commit one, let alone serialize them. Guaranteed.
