SUNRISE - January 10, 2011


January 10, 2011 Sunrise 7:23 am
“For disappearing acts, it's hard to beat what happens to the eight hours supposedly left after eight of sleep and eight of work”.  ~ Doug Larson

The minutes and hours fly by.  Our weekly tasks, like water the plants every Saturday, do the laundry on Sunday, etc. seem to fall one upon another until it seems there is no time in between.

I take a lot of meds for a variety of reasons and have them in a weekly pill box to keep myself on track to not miss any days.  I fill it on the same day each week…the Sunrise of my week.  With a blink of the eye is that day again, but a week later. The Sunset of my week has arrived at breakneck speed.

There seem to be too many tasks and desires and great projects to accomplish in only 24 hours.  I feel I need another 12 per day – bump it up to 36 and I might have a fighting chance, with a bit more organization.   

If the magician can work his magic by making TIME disappear, would there not be a counterpoint magical formula to embellish the given hour?  Thin hair is resolved and given extra volume and semblance of body, with a dash of mousse.   

Where on the shelf can one find the same for TIME?

SUNRISE - December 29, 2010

December 29, 2010 Dawn 7:08 am
Watching the dawn glow and the Sunrise every morning,  even with just the last scant four days I have newly "focused" on this daily phenomenon.  The experience is beginning to illicit a noticeable change in my attitude and my gratitude.

We have all witnessed a multitude of Sunrises in our life.  When we were younger and more foolish, we tried to get home "before" Sunrise and we often didn't always quite make it.  Many more times, as we became more "Mature" (God help us) we saw them through our windshield, as we tried to get to work on time.  In both instances, the Sunrise was an icon marker proclaiming how foolish, time challenged, late, overworked, under organized, etc. (none of which seems to hold a positive connotation) we were.


How often have we actually "intentionally" watched the Sunrise for the sheer benefit of being cognizant of the miracle and opportunity it represents (the 60's don't count; if you were there you know why)?  

Why do we refer to an epiphany (a sudden realization of great truth) as having an idea "dawn" on us?  Does our great idea begin to emerge as "dawn" and then is more fully realized at "Sunrise"?


December 29, 2010 Sunrise 7:23 am
We have daily planners and iPhone calendars, appointment  secretaries, but none is greater than the silent, non-electric, "TIME", that is provided to us in the early moments of a daily Sunrise.  How can we more effectively control our use of time with daily intent?

“So often we allow life to dictate to us how we live and what we do. We become a victim of our own circumstances with no purpose, design or intent. Living a life of intent means we take charge of our lives and direct ourselves to whom and where we want to be. Intent won't just happen it takes effort and commitment.” TerriR

Light following darkness, knowledge following questions, enlightenment following confusion.  Carpe Diem.

SUNRISE - December 28, 2010

December 28, 2010 Sunrise 7:23 am
Time is that illusive element that seems to drag by when it is least desired and speeds downhill like a fire engine out of control when we most want it to slow down.

It is a common complaint that we don't get enough time to do all that we wanted to do  today, this week, this month, this year, and this life.  Every being receives 24 hours every day, to accomplish, enjoy, fritter, ignore, waste, ignore, prepare, or appreciate the time we receive.


The daily challenge is to live like there is no tomorrow, plan for a thousand more tomorrows, take responsibility for the requirements of life (family, work, school, eating, sleeping, and money) and produce a fulfilled day with no regrets.
