Your driveway gets plowed in despite having just shoveled it out!! A wave crashes on the beach..a flash of brilliance pops into your mind! It so often amazes me how much we can pack into a day.. into an hour… into a just few minutes. 24 hours x 60 miutes equals 1440 minus 480 for sleeping leaves 1000 or about 200 5 minute pockets of time..how many are you conscious of? The breaths we take.. the ideas we focus on.. the realities we intend… the potentialities within us all are so enormous yet drifting into routines…wallowing in self doubt/self pity… DON’T DO IT…. take a look around.. take a breath of fresh..the vibrancy of life is forever surrounding us.. colors, people, ideas…try send a good vibe to a friend/colleague/stranger and watch it grow. I recently become a member of the Institute of Noetic Sciences...its been around for ever, but made a bit more famous by Dan Brown’s book.. “the Lost Symbol” If you ever wonder if more is out there than our reality…our cursory perception..check out out. Snow snow everywhere… dream, dare and continue to share

How does one choose one path over another…be it as simple as what to eat for breakfast or as seemingly large as should I have children.. sometimes one just knows and other times one deliberates, debates.. internal dialogues, external dialogues…To trust your instincts… I think we all have strong instincts yet we often seem to cover them up, make excuses for them when we don’t want to believe them, turn our mind onto something else.. I wonder why?!?!?. So on lighter topics
.. if you are ever in Washington DC.. I strongly encourage you to check out the Newseum that I had the pleasure of visiting this past weekend… really cool place and the 9/11 exhibit was truly a powerful presentation…what a freaking amazing city with such incredible architecture, history, energy… imagine having to be the one to build all those buildings back in the day without the use of modern technology.
Happy Sunday to all! Have a ball and don’t forget to call somebody you love!

Whoa….I just realized it has not been 270 days but a whopping 270 days plus one year aka 600 freaking days since my previous entry.. holy smokes!!!.. lots of catching up to do.. but why must I catch up.. the moment is now.. carpe diem it as best I can I guess. Some days are up.. some days are down.. a little sluggish today, perhaps just physically fatigued having completed day 3 of p90x with my sister(87 more to go)… watch out for the plyometrics!!! Perhaps it is mental based.. things on my mind.. decisions always in life..some bigger than others.. some easy, some hard… what makes them hard… our perception of the outcome, how we will feel, how others will interpret, react….signing off from the great state of Maine and off to see TEAKHA!!!!!!!!

Although it is too bad the last 270 did not matter enough for me to post something on this blog
…how time can truly fly by…how easy it can be to have a goal one day.. starting a new years resolution.. the gym.. daily meditation.. blog posting
..etc etc yet even with the best intentions.. time slips by… one day missed leads to many days missed.. the mind makes excuses..your mind believe the excuses… yet what a truly wonderful thing that every day does seem to begin anew! Unique and fantastic.. dynamic, always changing and full of potential if we believe. To make the most out of a situation…how does an unsuspecting situation become one of the most important events in your life? How does the world work… well it is pretty darn complex I think .. yet it can simplify itself in the most awesome and unassuming ways sometimes…till next year…HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
