Trust the flow and process of life
Sat, 09/04/2010 - 22:20
group went to Garden of the Gods in Manitou Springs, and I finally feel renewed again... inspired... drinking the healing waters that flow from the fountains downtown helped too, I'm sure... it's fizzy, almost like tonic water, but sweeter.. would really make good lemonade!! but the cooler weather, mixed with the garden of the god's trip made me realize how much bigger the world is than any of us...we're all one... we all are equal contributors to this earth... universe, as far as I can tell... but our egos try to deny us the peaceful realization that we all are equally important...
Colorado, here I come!

So it's a bus... so it's a bunch of old people... they're going to this little hippy town in CO, called Manitou Springs, and I'm going with them! sweet Jesus, it'll be so good to get away... all expenses paid trip! thank you, God!
hear there's hot springs there that will wash the negativity away, too... wonder if they'll let me bathe in it... that's just what I need right now...
Dance like you're 75.
Thu, 08/26/2010 - 01:51
you know, everyone always talks about dancing like nobody's watching. I say, dance like you're 75.... today, I was eating my cherry flavored jello, and scribbling in my manuscript, not really able to come up with much... when suddenly, Alice, this 75 year old widow, came and asked me to dance. there's no music, I thought... but then I said, "what the heck! sure!"
Perfection
Mon, 08/16/2010 - 21:57
beginning to think that the more we try to be perfect and lead perfect lives... the further away from it we get.
not that I necessarily think I've been chasing perfection... but on some level I think we all kind of do... we all really want things to be perfect in our eyes... I guess the real tragedy is when we only want to be perfect in other's eyes...
I'm three weeks away from being homeless again... far from anyone's standard of perfect, I'm guessing...
Somewhere out there...

So, it's day 5 of me volunteering.... everything seems to be going GREAT, but turns out, their maintenance guy can do about everything I'm doing, so they won't pay... they said I could stay a while... a mo. maybe, since they like my attitude and willingness to help... which I'm grateful for, but it doesn't really advance my agenda... however, I can take time to write... so I suppose it does that way...
so that's what I think I'm going to do... yep... just until I find SOMETHING... SOMEWHERE OUT THERE... where are you, job? Where are you, paycheck?
What's the point, God?

Dear God,
I need your help today. I'm finding it hard to continue writing this manuscript, when it's not helping me find work or providing me with income right now. My heart tells me I must write, but my belly tells me to do whatever I need to do to survive... hell, I've had to bathe at a truck stop the last two nights in a row.... talk about feeling hopeless...
So, what's the point of this all, God? I need you to tell me I'll be alright.
And, I have a confession. I've been using lotto again.
not the smoothest move
Thu, 05/13/2010 - 06:46
been dodging the big boss for weeks now, and she finally got me today! she asked me about the convention I wasn't supposed to be at and I told her how awesome it was. not the smoothest move, Bob!
so I just told her the truth...
I begged for forgiveness, promised I'd bring her her favorite latte for a month, and gently offered to rub her shoulders, since she's always complaining about them hurting.... and...
she fired me.
May the force be with me!

Combining:
"Circumstances do not make a man, they reveal him."
"There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way."
Wayne Dyer
ok... so circumstances do not make a man happy if...
Circumstances fail to make a man anymore happy (?) than what he is naturally.
might feel too forced... need the force... feel it... breathe it... may the force be with me.
happiness is the only way to be happy. yikes! where's the originality, Bob!?
OK...
if you're not a happy man, then your circumstances aren't great. or maybe you're just tired, like me...
Need to get off!
Thu, 04/01/2010 - 01:33
it's part of customer service... every once in a while I'm gonna get sick, I know... i try to wash my hands a lot, but guess it's not enough.... then I have Double Dave who comes in with an extra large bottle of sanitizer when he works... cracks me up... cute (BIG!) kid... at least it makes for an interesting day!
The convention is coming up this weekend, and I'm so excited I can hardly stand it... all I'm hoping for is to be better by Friday! I wish I weren't already sick.. kinda hard to call in sick AGAIN if she won't let me off...
Got the job!
Tue, 03/16/2010 - 01:40
Holy smokes! I got the job at What's Up Chuck?!
I've practically been living in this car it seems for the past year.. not really, but kind of...
spent more nights in Wal-Mart parking lots than I'd like to admit.. but that's just a part of
the sacrifice to be free... makes my journey more interesting, too, I suppose...
I need to keep writing without these little distractions though.. like my car...I need to keep going to these motivational events and learning more about the process of spiritual enlightenment..
I really need to sell this book one day...
