Day Three, 30 Day writing challenge

 
Here I am again, day three and trying to find a subject to write about...after looking for a few moments, I began to think and isn't that what blogging is, putting into words your thoughts, even if it might be random?  In my opinion, yes.
 
I spy a painting on the wall...There is a foot bridge over a stream, swans in the forefront of the stream and a small pathway on both sides.  How many of us have stood before a painting and wondered where does the stream flow from?  Where does the pathway go?  Everything is so pretty and green, sprinkled with bits of pastel colored flowers.  The scenery is so peaceful, the sound of the stream almost audible.
 
Sometimes I think what a magical gift it would be to be able to jump into painting, I suppose like Mary Poppins did in the movie, with Burt and the children, where somewhere in the distance is a fair, with a merry-go-round, dancing penguins, etc.  Not this painting though, this one is evoking the heartfelt sentiments.  The two swans swimming so close that when ones neck is turned and you look at it from the perfect angle, it looks like they are forming a heart.  Sappy, I know, but what can I say, I have a soft side.
 
The next picture I see is of the back of two little boys watching Pond hockey.  Another is of jazz instruments, with a piano keyboard that could double as a track for a rollercoaster.  That picture I kind of want to jump into and run up and down the keyboard.  It evokes fun.
 
Suffice it to say, I am at a loss for words tonight.  I'm grasping at straws for this particular entry, a wee on the weary side from lack of sleep, which doesn't surprise me, welcome to my life.  Insomnia is my master sometimes and I it's slave.  One day I will learn to turn my brain off, but it is constantly churning out ideas and thoughts and it won't stop thinking.  I guess there could be worse things in life.  Okay, I am rambling...
 
Until tomorrow...yeah, until tomorrow.

From a personal journey to...

I have blogged off and on about a personal journey I have been on for about a year or so.  It's nothing earth shattering for anyone but me.  I hate to say it, but I kind of became a cliché.  Indeed, I had become that person who needed to find themselves.  One of my favorite quotes along the way came from Tolkien, "Not all those who wander are lost".  It kind of contradicts my previous statement, well not kind of, it does, because I talk about finding myself, but truly, I knew where I was all the time.  Are you confused yet? Think of it as standing outside of your body inside a hall of mirrors.  Like a carnival there are images of you everywhere, but only one of those images are you.  So you go about seeking the solid figure and along the way you hit dead ends, walls, other mirrors with images of yourself and so on, until you finally stop, breathe and realize if you look at the mirror in front of you, there you are.  You stop trying so hard...

The single person's guide to Valentine's Day.

Are you single and fretting over Valentine's? Maybe you're becoming increasingly depressed, or blue, because you keep seeing those jewelry commercials on television, or those candy commercials?  Or your friend's or coworkers keep telling you their plans, or hopes of a potential special moment? Well, I am here to virtually hug you and to tell you, it will be okay.  First, don't begrudge your friend's or coworkers their happiness.  Smile sincerely and be happy for them.  Being happy for them, will make you feel better and will increase your outer (yet invisible) glow.  Hey, you might glow so brightly, you could end up with a Valentine's date if you go to Happy Hour on a Friday night.  Now, how do you get over yourself and move beyond the stigma, that is kind of self-imposed, of being single on Valentine's day?  Take your power back and put you first.  There are a million and ten places open on Valentine's day.  Severa...

Meditation for a Full or New Moon.

Are you one of those people who are a little unbalanced emotionally, or mentally, during a full moon?  Perhaps you go a little crazy, or maybe you turn into a hairless werewolf? Well, I may have the solution you are looking for.  I can't promise it will work miracles, but there is a possibility it might be able to help bring you back to a desirable level of sanity. Some people don't give the moon enough credit. Sure a full moon lights up the earth a bit more than usual, and sure it might make some canines bay at the moon, but it can also mess with your personal being. Think about it, moon cycles play with the ocean tide right?  Well, seeing how the body is made up of a large percentage of water, isn't it plausible that the moon is also playing with the human body? Throwing it off balance and making you feel not so emotionally fresh? I am not a scientist. I am not a trained person when it comes to meditations, so I am putting that out there now. ...
