Hi ya.

If you read 12dots you know that I've been trying a bit of an experiment. For the last month, I've kind of thrown out the list of those things "to do" in favor of an "already done" list of accomplishments. In 31 days I've finally started doing the things that are important to me instead of the list of "expecteds". I can do that now. It's been a bit like closing my eyes and jumping into life.  In the past 31 days the list of things done has grown much faster than I'd thought. The decisions that I make now are quicker and much clearer than before this experiment. LOL, I value my time more than I did before. While it's a bit of an adjustment for some family members, Pups prospered from it and has been adding to his own "already accomplished" list.



I thought that I might write online about it as I did over the last month, however,  Pup's asked me for my help and - well - there are only so many hours in a day. I'm not sure that I can record the process and do it at the same time. At first, I thought that I might just for go writing on the blog all together but then I thought of Twitter. By it's very nature, Twitter is designed to be short comments on the month, the week, the day, or the minute's event.  I can write longer posts on the blog but I can keep a kind of outline of the process much easier on Twitter.  This will allow me to actually live my life and help Pup with what he'd like to do and still write about it.

That's what I intend to do.

Just like writing a daily haiku would allow me to write daily but still be involved in a very active life process, the Twitter entries will allow me to write about my life and still actually live it. I might even use the Tweets to communicate with WB and Pup. (Note: I doubt if WB would be interested but Pup might. Pup's interest would be half the process and double our fun.)

Please note that I'll still be writing here in the comments.  THIS ISN"T AN INACTIVE BLOG>>>

Well that's pretty much what's up. Still will do the Zen moments in this blog but I meant what I wrote in the previous blog post about a change in course but still the same way point.

Hugs,

PS  I recommend the Give Your Stress A Rest/Zen Experiment.  The moments of quiet introspection aren't  selfish. On the contrary, life is so "loud" that the responsibilities can drowned out your own voice.  Make sure that what you chose is moral and legal and considers your family but don't let that "to do" list that they give you to do overwhelm who you are.

Hugs.

Notes from the field are on Twitter unless noted. I'm not leaving just taking a very welcome chance to spend time with Pup, the farm, and the boat.  That is a very good thing.

And Newt? I wonder at what you must think at my use of the words Zen?

Good and kind thoughts. Hugs.

Pup?
Such a thing is love of the person who is so many ways has defined, confined and yet liberated me.
It's not easy but watching you has made me believe in miracles.
I love you kiddo.

For what it's worth, I'm listening to this song and talking to Pup about something called a "Luggable Loo".  He's cracking jokes about the  "Huggable Lou the Luggable Loo" It comes in the basic and the flushable.  LOL.  17 dollars if you buy the bucket and 12 bucks if you provide your own. Here we are listening to this very lovely song and oblivious because of a camping crapper.

Oh mercy.


Now it's on to the handy portible urinal and the snappable female attachment.


Yep.


In a couple of minutes I'm going to break the news that he's gonna have to help me go feed the pups. Not now though. He's facinated by the loos. Hate to spoil the moment.


This song has alot of truth to it. While the world is busy trying to separate us and make us think that we're a world of tribes as different as oil and water?  I'm sitting here confident that like the song we're all alike.


Have been writing this afternoon so there's stuff to read. 


As for me?


I'm gonna go visit with pup.


Hope that you're day's a good one Gentle Reader.


Hugs


Ann
