UNDER AN INFLUENCE
Tuesday Oct. 29, 2013
I need to be short on time, short on words – and long on impact:
How flexible am I?
How flexible are you?
I come, every day, with reminders and renewal in some things I tell people they ought to do, and then ask whether I am diligently doing them myself. My reality is real, my perception is perceived, my convictions are convicted. Inspiration comes in many forms.
People who are famous, people you’ve never heard of – people who are far away, and ones who are so close you can barely see them . . .
Courage, every day – one at a time.
Who influences that, who influences you? And who do you influence?
That’s enough to focus on for one day – now get to work!
Must run ~~

morning walk: -10C/14F, overcast, light breeze – puts colour in your cheeks, warming up today – Gusta finding things that smell good but they are ice-locked and unavailable.

Very encouraging musing. I was touched by it to a depth I haven't felt in a while which reminded me to feel deeply more. As for me, I don't want to see it coming and I don't want to know that it happened; death, that is. GW, Brady, Tx.
After a full week of painting bathroom and kitchen I am finally back to living each day somewhat normally; reading e-mails and Mark Musing daily column. My first response is to this one: Chief Dan George (at least according to The Outlaw Josey Wales) said, "Endeavor to persevere". I have adopted that as my creed. GW, Brady, Tx.
