Over It @ MindSay

Yesterday was a crappy day.  I apologize for the previous post.  Was going to post about it ..... but I'm over it.

So .... hope everyone has a good day .....

Peace.  J.

Sometimes, other people's emotions affect me a lot.

It's kind of like I take them upon myself.

Or maybe it's that their emotions help me realize something within myself?

Listen and tell me what you think. :D

Howdy, Howdy all....

 

you know sometimes I get the urge to act as ugly as I see others acting and then I remember why I seem to be so lucky so much of the time. Spiritually I got the hook-up.

I don't fight dirty, I don't name call, and I do not behave deceptively...no need, and I do not hit below the belt. I try to choose relationships that are reciprocal and beneficial to all parties. I believe we are more than our worst Mis-DEED. Not everyone shares this sentiment and you know what?

I have found that those who condemn have the same demons as those they condemn and guess what?

I believe they too are more than their worse deeds as well... So keep on keeping on, whether you uplift others or sling mud (some of us do this without recognizing it in our zeal to point it out in others)

I support you on your path to wherever and while you may not support me on mine you WILL respect me or sever contact with me. 

That being said, remember a little something I learned in vacation bible school a million years ago (there but for the grace of *insert deity here* go I). To be simpler

 

I DARE YOU TO GET OVER YOURSELF (the collective-me included) 

 

The universe fights for me. Give it up for a spiritual base ya'll!

We have to believe in something bigger than ourselves.

Otherwise I wouldn't bounce back as quickly and as completely as I do.

 

How's life ya'll? For me it's looking better and better...Smiles! (goes In the mail on Monday doll, until then, a gift, gift, gift)

 

She Was A Phantom Of Delight

 

She was a phantom of delight
When first she gleamed upon my sight;
A lovely Apparition, sent
To be a moment's ornament;
Her eyes as stars of Twilight fair;
Like Twilight's, too, her dusky hair;
But all things else about her drawn
From May-time and the cheerful Dawn;
A dancing Shape, an Image gay,
To haunt, to startle, and way-lay.

I saw her upon a nearer view,
A Spirit, yet a Woman too!
Her household motions light and free,
And steps of virgin liberty;
A countenance in which did meet
Sweet records, promises as sweet;
A Creature not too bright or good
For human nature's daily food;
For transient sorrows, simple wiles,
Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears and smiles.

And now I see with eye serene
The very pulse of the machine;
A Being breathing thoughtful breath,
A Traveler between life and death;
The reason firm, the temperate will,
Endurance, foresight, strength, and skill;
A perfect Woman, nobly planned,
To warm, to comfort, and command;
And yet a Spirit still, and bright,
With something of angelic light. William Wordsworth

Howdy Howdy all, I want to thank the soaptesters who have commented thus far on the soap that I sent them. If you have tested soap and have not yet offered feedback, please see the previous blog to leave your comments and Thanks for your participation.  I went for yet another short walk today with 25 pounds of weigth and it is actually starting to feel kinda natural if that makes any sense at all. Still no pictures but I went to a place that was not so scenic and would have gotten little more than street lights and gas stations at the most or at the least shall I say/write.  I am looking forward to getting better footwear this weekend not to mention a decent back pack (I carried my Pink Floyd/ Dark Side Of The Moon pack). Although fashionable and worthy it was not condusive to hiking with that much weight and started to dig into my shoulders a smidge. I did have enough water this time and that made a heck of a difference! As always ANY and ALL hiking suggestions are encouraged and appreciated.

And now, It is time for our next inventor:

 

Lewis Howard Latimer (September 4, 1848-December 11, 1928) was an African-American engineer and inventor who was a member of Edison's research team, which was called "Edison's Pioneers." Latimer improved the newly-invented incandescent light bulb by inventing a carbon filament (which he patented in 1881). In 1882, Latimer developed and patented a method of manufacturing his carbon filaments (patent #252,386). Later, the stronger tungsten filament replaced the carbon filament (invented by W. D. Coolidge). Latimer also invented a a threaded wooden socket for light bulbs.

 

Latimer developed many other inventions, including the first toilet that could be used in trains (1874, patent #147,363 - called "Water closet for railroad cars"), and a forerunner of the air conditioner (we in the south certainly appreciate this) (1886, patent # 334,078 - called "Apparatus for cooling and disinfecting"). In 1890, Latimer published the book Incandescent Electric Lighting, a technical guide for electrical engineers.

 

And now for the poetry....here goes....

Dedication Poem 9

To stay the floods of sin and shame
   That sweep from shore to shore;
And furl the banners stained with blood,
   ’Till war shall be no more.

 

Blame not the age, nor think it full
   Of evil and unrest;
But say of every other age,
   “This one shall be the best.”

 

The age to brighten every path
   By sin and sorrow trod;
For loving hearts to usher in
   The commonwealth of God.--Frances Ellen Watkins Harper
