Cleo is my friend, we have known each other for 6 years. Cleo was diagnosed with a brain tumor the Monday before thanksgiving. they operated the Monday after thanksgiving and removed 80 percent of it. It was Cancerous. Cleo is now in the hospital in intensive care. She is not there, just her shell.
Cleo is a wonderful person 71 years old and swims 4 to 5 times a week. Belongs to the Methodist Women's Society, and really enjoys life. She has 3 grown children, whom I am thinking love her very much.
I miss Cleo very much, I am feeling really sorry for myself that I have lost her. This is not the first person I have lost. I just wanted to say that it does not get any easier to lose loved ones. What I am trying to say is, I don't feel sorry for Cleo, I feel sorry for myself and anyone else that loved her.
I will miss her banana bread, and meeting at Teds to go to the beach, those spontaneous hugs and phone calls. Talking about her up and coming trips with her sister Patty. The world is a much lonier place today

Clutter
What is clutter?
To me it is stuff! All kinds of stuff!
Stuff that should be sorted, compiled, put away, given away, or thrown away.
Now I am a hyperactive person, and clutter is seen by my eyes as a challenge to clean, and put away. A job to be handled as soon as possible. Stuff that weighs on you till you can't get anything else done till it is put away.
At the young age of 59, I am finding out that many people love there clutter. Are attached to there clutter. Can not possibly live without it. If they allow you to remove it or put it away, within a short time span they will find more stuff to scatter around.
It drives me crazy, makes me want to cry. I consider it being helpful to clean, others find it annoying that I will not leave them and there clutter alone.
So I have been thinking seriously about why this is?
Knowing the obvious that everyone is different and that is a good thing. I have come up with why this is so worrisome for me.
My personal view on a persons living space and the cleanliness or neatness of it is this: Our personal space is a refection of what our souls and minds are. And we are attracted to others like ourselves.
So I am going out and finding other neatniks like me and will get back to you on how well we get along.

What If...
What if all we believe is false?
What if all that is does not exsist?
What if we don't exsist?
What is real and what is a dream?
I just don't know.

Brian Kim
I've been stumbling again. Oh that magic button on my tool bar. I do so love it.
Briankim.net is one of the best, motivational sites that I have read in quite awhile. I receive his daily MIT in my e-mail. I've printed out 5 of them and posted them on my bedroom walls. These 3 are by the door:
"Its so easy to get sucked into other "worlds", that you soon forget the one you're trying to create for yourself. It's easy to forget what you're trying to do when you look at what others around you are doing and can't help but feel influenced by that, so much to the point where you begin to find yourself gravitating away from you original plan. It's like playing basketball, but having the location of the basket constantly change all the time. If that happens, you're never going to score."
"It's amazing what we can do when we just focus on doing ONE task at a time. Never mind the other tasks on the list. In fact, take out a whole new piece of blank paper and write down the task that you have to do that day, that ONE task that matters more than all the rest. Put it at the very top. A to-do list with only ONE item sure looks great and more importantly, very easy to do. One item at a time. It makes things simple. It makes it easy for you to focus. And it makes it easy for you to get it done. And then, it's just a matter of choosing the ONE task to do after that."
"What are you HAPPY about in your life right now?
What are you EXCITED about in your life right now?
What are you ABSOLUTELY COMMITTED to ACHIEVING in your life RIGHT NOW?
Let these questions lay the foundation for the rest of the day and help guide you the rest of the way."
Great aren't they but these are even better. I read them as soon as I get up and have even gone back into my room several times a day to read them again. Pretty much know them by heart but it does my soul good to read them over and over again.
These 2 I keep next to my bed.
"When your goal benefits not only yourself, but those close around you and other people as well, it gives you that extra push you need to take you to the next level. Motivation based on how it will benefit you and you alone will only take you so far. When you can see how it benefits others, that's the fuel that will take you to the next level of action."
"There will come a time in your life when everything goes right for you.
Everything
It will seem like a dream and you find it hard to ride this huge wave of momentum. And you may be tempted to attribute this to some type of force outside of you and maybe it is and maybe it isn't. But I bet if you look back at all the seeds you sowed, big and small, and you connect the dots and see how everything "synergized", you'll understand where it came from. And you'll be grateful for all those actions you took, even though you didn't really understand then at that moment in time , how it would play the role it did in contributing to all the great "luck" you're experiencing now."
Hope they are as good for you as they are for me.
The best thing I have learned from Brian Kim is "WRITE IT DOWN" I have tablets everywhere. I go to work early just so I can spend time alone in the car to write. I received legal pads for a Christmas Gift. How cool it that! I write everything down. I have tried to just go to bed and end up getting back up to put my thoughts on paper. Alot of the things I write down I just tear up and throw away but they are thoughts that are just clogging up my mind. I make lists and check off the things I've done. I can't believe what a wonderful feeling of accomplishment it give me when I can scratch an item off of my list.
I read Napoleon Hills "Think and Grow Rich more than 10 years ago. I even gave copies of it to other people. Hoping maybe they would read it and tell me what I missed. I have Brian's e-book , "The Hidden Secret of Think and Grow Rich" It explains the method much better. step by step.
THANK YOU!
I have been chasing an elusive thought all of my life. Now I know what it is. That one thing that I have been looking for. It's not just an answer, a direction, or an idea. It's my one Major Definite Purpose in life. Just knowing what it is, has opened up a way of thinking that I feel fantastic about.
Thanks Brian,
Pat

Out Of Touch
I fell out of touch with my blog. It didn't seem to really matter, I don't think anyone reads it anyways. But I feel bad about it.
It is a connection to the cyber world.
Are you there? Do you read me? Does any of it matter?
So I have moved from John Chow to Brian Kim ,
I still stumble more hours than I will admit.
I haven't a plan for my life, but I know that I am a good person and that something will come along for me.
I work really hard at my job and Randolph Air Force Bace Officers club, and that I feel good about what I do. I make people smile and maybe have a better day just because I served them a meal.
Does anyone need a companion, for travel or just living? I'm not a nurse, but I will listen to what you have to say. I know how important it is to be heard. I know what lonely is.
Call me

women who love free spirits
There are women who love free spirits, they change them. I'm am not saying that, that is bad but they do change them. to Beth and Melissa, you have changed the men in your lives, did you make them what they are today or are they relics of what they used to be? Are they on depression medication so they will fit into their lives, or do they take them to try and fit into your life.? Do they hate you, or love you.? Were they better off without you?
None of these question are really relevant. It is what it is and that is life.
Only know that what attracted you to these men is the same thing that you have tried very hard to change.
Maybe this year, 2009 you should just try loving them for who they are. maybe you should just allow them to be who they are. Remember that is who you fell in love with in the first place.
Guy and David I love you no matter what

stumble upon
So this is wnat happens when you down load the stumble upon icon onto your tool bar. You don't blog you dont write, you don't do anything. Because all you do is stumble and stumble and stumble.
I am thinking that it is a wonderful thing. No one reads my blogs anyways, so what am I missing. I am having a ball, and needless to say I am learning tons of things that I never knew before. What a wonderful life it is on this great place called the internet.
