Worth the read for good laugh!
So true for the 70+ age group and for some over 50 too!
When I bought my Blackberry I thought about the 30-year business I ran with 1800 employees,
all without a cell phone that plays music, takes videos, pictures and communicates with Facebook and Twitter. I signed up (under duress) for Twitter and Facebook, so my seven kids, their spouses, my 13 grand kids and 2 great grand kids could communicate with me in the modern way. I figured I could handle something as simple as Twitter with only 140 characters of space. My phone was beeping every three minutes with the details of everything except the bowel movements of the entire next generation. I am not ready to live like this. I keep my cell phone in the garage in my golf bag.
The kids bought me a GPS for my last birthday because they say I get lost every now and then going over to the grocery store or library. I keep that in a box under my tool bench with the Blue tooth [it's red] phone I am supposed to use when I drive. I wore it once and was standing in line at Barnes and Noble talking to my wife and everyone in the nearest 50 yards was glaring at me. I had to take my hearing aid out to use it, and I got a little loud. I mean the GPS looked pretty smart on my dash board, but the lady inside that gadget was the most annoying, rudest person I had run into in a long time. Every 10 minutes, she would sarcastically say, "Re-calc-u-lating." You would think that she could be nicer. It was like she could barely tolerate me. She would let go with a deep sigh and then tell me to make a U-turn at the next light. Then if I made a right turn instead. Well, it was not a good relationship... When I get really lost now, I call my wife and tell her the name of the cross streets and while she is starting to develop the same tone as Gypsy, the GPS lady, at least she loves me.
To be perfectly frank, I am still trying to learn how to use the cordless phones in our house. We have had them for 4 years, but I still haven't figured out how I lose three phones all at once and have to run around digging under chair cushions, checking bathrooms, and the dirty laundry baskets when the phone rings.
The world is just getting too complex for me. They even mess me up every time I go to the grocery store. You would think they could settle on something themselves but this sudden "Paper or Plastic?" every time I check out just knocks me for a loop. I bought some of those cloth reusable bags to avoid looking confused, but I ever remember to take them with me. Now I toss it back to them. When they ask me, "Paper or plastic?" I just say, "Doesn't matter to me. I am bi-sacksual." Then it's their turn to stare at me with a blank look. I was recently asked if I tweet. I answered, "No, but I do fart a lot."
P.S. I know some of you are not over 70. I sent it to you to allow you to forward it to those who are. I figured your sense of humor could handle it. We senior citizens don't need anymore gadgets. The TV remote and the garage door remote are about all we can handle.

Just close your eyes.
Breathe.
Stop whatever you're doing for ten seconds 
and find The Silence.
Visit The Quiet.
Just for ten seconds.
Do it six times today.

That's all it takes.
One minute, divided into six parts.
Go ahead.

"It is believed that people born in the year of horse are open-minded, optimistic and outgoing. They are also said to be humorous and attractive, and that when they have a goal, they tend to devote themselves to achieving it without changing course. Next year’s lunar year, which begins on January 31, 2014, is the year of the blue horse, which comes only once every 60 years. Astrologers say it will be a more dynamic year than ever before.

Too often we believe that God's miracles are rare when, in truth, they are constant. God is working miracles today.
Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.

Potato Chips

A little boy wanted to meet God. He knew it was a long trip to where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with a bag of potato chips and a six-pack of root beer and started his journey.


When he had gone about three blocks, he met an old man. He was sitting in the park, just staring at some pigeons. The boy sat down next to him and opened his suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his root beer when he noticed that the old man looked hungry, so he offered him some chips. He gratefully accepted it and smiled at him.


His smile was so pretty that the boy wanted to see it again, so he offered him a root beer. Again, he smiled at him. The boy was delighted! They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling, but they never said a word...


As twilight approached, the boy realized how tired he was and he got up to leave; but before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the old man, and gave him a hug. He gave him his biggest smile ever....


When the boy opened the door to his own house a short time later, his mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face.. She asked him, "What did you do today that made you so happy? "He replied, "I had lunch with God." But before his mother could respond, he added, "You know what? He's got the most beautiful smile I've ever seen!"


Meanwhile, the old man, also radiant with joy, returned to his home. His son was stunned by the look of peace on his face and he asked, "dad, what did you do today that made you so happy?"


He replied "I ate potato chips in the park with God." However, before his son responded, he added, "You know, he's much younger than I expected."


Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
People come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime! Embrace all equally!

Have lunch with God.......bring chips.


This lovely story was sent to me by my sweet friend Havi.

Thank you 
Much love today, tomorrow and always.

Black Moon Rising

Magical Black New Moon... 
With so many intense lunar influences on this much-celebrated day, it's clear this year will be a year of much change and movement. 
A Super Moon can lead to extreme tides. Symbolically water represents emotion, so you may experience more extreme highs or lows under this Super Moon phenomenon. With quirky Uranus aligning with this lunar equation, this may be a time of some chaos, but it also brings about the possibility for great change, innovation and invention.
If you’ve thought about making a radical but right-for-you choice this year, or are restless with routine and crave excitement, this Super Moon may help you shake things up in a truly authentic manner in 2014.


To all celebrating the Lunar New Year, Gong Xi Fa Cai.
May the Year of the Horse bring us greater peace, harmony and prosperity. Good luck to us all.

A good life is when you assume nothing, do more, need less, dream big, laugh a lot and realize how blessed you are."

Forty-five years ago on Jan. 30, 1969, the Beatles gave their final live performance – a surprise rooftop appearance that charmed their fans and went down in history. Not long after this concert, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr went their separate ways, pursuing solo careers ......

"We went on the roof in order to resolve the live concert idea, because it was much simpler than going anywhere else; also nobody had ever done that, so it would be interesting to see what happened when we started playing up there. It was a nice little social study.
We set up a camera in the Apple reception area, behind a window so nobody could see it, and we filmed people coming in. The police and everybody came in saying, 'You can't do that! You've got to stop.' "

George Harrison - from Anthology

5 Reasons to Laugh
 

1. Laughter boosts your immune system. According to some studies, laughter helps to boost your immune system and may even increase the number of cancer-killing cells in your body. Doing something that feels good and is good for you? Sounds like a good idea to me!

2. Laughter release endorphins.
 And speaking of feeling good... when you laugh, you trigger a release of endorphins (those feel-good chemicals). These chemicals are the reason that you feel so happy when you laugh. The more you laugh, the better you'll feel so do it as often as you can!

3. Laughter helps us connect with others. Think about how you feel when you're laughing with someone. You feel connected, right? Even if you don't know the person well, you feel bonded with him or her. Forming connections has a positive impact on our lives -- and laughter is a great way to connect! 

4. Laughter protects your heart. Apparently laughing has some healthy heart benefits. Laughing can lead to improved blood flow and cut down on high blood pressure. Heart troubles are unfortunately pretty common -- which is why we should all start laughing more often to ward them off. 

5. Laughter keeps us present. When you're laughing, you're focused on whatever is funny in that moment. You're not worried about the past or the future. You're in the now. Though you might not realize it, laughter really is one of the best ways to stay present.


These are just a few of the many reasons it benefits us to laugh. Laughter offers us a break from the hard parts of life. Laughter offers us a chance to escape, even for a few moments, from the past and the future. Laughter allows us to really be in the moment. No matter how badly you feel, how broken your heart is, how tough things seem, laughter has the ability to pick you up, to bring you a respite from unhappiness. It really is the best medicine. Below are a few of laugh-inducing links.

The most beautiful people are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.

Owl you Need is Love

♥^^ "... Worldwide there are pessimists people... optimists people ... both tend to get hurt when life brings challenges .. But, there is a third type rarer ... persons flowing ... they learned how to walk ... nothing, or no one can hurt them ... because they are integrated ... in the sky are the air, in the rivers and seas... the water". (Chris Nunes - The Traveller Book)

Some good luck foods for the lunar new year



“How happy is the little stone
That rambles in the road alone,
And doesn't care about careers,
And exigencies never fears;
Whose coat of elemental brown
A passing universe put on;
And independent as the sun,
Associates or glows alone,
Fulfilling absolute decree
In casual simplicity.” ~Emily Dickinson



I am hoping all your wishes come true today and everyday


And so our hearts bloom *°✫.¸♥¸.✫With every thought of kindness and of love♥

"The Gayatri Mantra (Prayer) is said to be the oldest and most powerful of mantras, being thousands of years old. It purifies the person chanting it as well as the listener as it creates a tangible sense of well being in whoever comes across it. Translated, it means "May all beings on earth reach enlightenment," but as with all mantras, the meaning of the Sanskrit words isn't as important as the effect the vibrations of the words have on the body and energy centers" ~ Deva Premal

Om bhur bhuvah svah
tat-savitur varenyam
bhargo devasya dhimahi
dhiyo yo nah prachodayat

[tat–that (God)
savitur–of the sun
varenyam–the best
bhargo (bhargas)–light, illumination
devasya–divine
dhimahi–let us meditate (a verb)
dhiyo (dhiyah)–thought(s)
