Random Thoughts and Musings

So many thoughts & musings drifting away.

Yesterday I declared a sick day.  Sinus headache.  I wonder if I can really "call in sick" since I'm not on anyone's "clock"...other than my own and God's?  And so begins a blog of random thoughts and musings.

Chatting with an elder friend of mine yesterday, we were talking about dreams.  She observed that I still seemed have a lot of dreams while she does not.  I wonder, though, if you dream of having dreams isn't that in itself a dream?

Has the world gone crazy or is it just in an uptick in its schizophrenia?

El Nino: couldn't prove it by me.  In looked at my Facebook posts from five years ago, we were in danger of being washed away.  I guess time will tell.

Are Donald Trump and Sarah Palin really wake up calls from the other side?  Whatever you think of them, they have certainly roiled the waters.

I watch the news to hear what's going on, but am always amazed at the extreme sense of urgency in the voices of the reporters.  Really, a car parked on the side of the freeway with its flashers on in a snowstorm is not a sign of the coming snow armageddon.  

I would miss the silent gh's is night and weight and even neighbor.   And surely the world would be a different place without the k in knife and know.  But know would become now, so that may not happen.

Saying "no"  gets easier with practice and kindness.  No explanation necessary.

Dogs are creatures of routine.  Wait for me to get up.  Wait for me to feed them breakfast.  Wait for me to take them on a walk.  Wait to see what I do next.  They have me trained well.

Once again the old axiom  "red skies at morning, sailors take warning.  Red Skies at night, sailor's delight."  Glorious sunset last night.  Today is lovely in southern California.  

Sometimes you just have to get up and go. 

I've noticed that if I don't constantly check the teakettle it seems to boil a lot faster.  This seems true of most things.

Somtimes, no usually, your mind is an endless stream of thoughts and musings.  They pop up like popcorn then float down the river.  If you don't catch them and make note, they disappear very quickly.  Ideas are like that too.

Happy Friday.  TGIF still means a lot even when you are retired.
