CURRENT THOUGHTS
Oct. 4, 1999..Oops! I keep forgetting...just because it means something to me, doesn't necessarily mean it means anything to you...my mistake!..nevermind..."Just Because...".
Oct. 4, 1999...Got my Bruce tickets!...not Springsteen, been there, done that...."Bruce Cockburn & His Band/March 11, 20000 @ the Keswick Theater"---Third Row, Center Seats!..Yippee!!
Oct. 4, 1999....For numerous reasons, I occasionally become disenchanted or disillusioned with something in my life that I thoroughly enjoyed once upon a time---very sad for me---But, every now and then there are those times when someone or something appears that reminds me...and then I feel much better and ready to give it a go again....Thank you, Douglas.
Oct. 2, 1999...Stupid thought:....Why when you have an itch and you scratch it, it gets itchier?...Why?..Is it just me?..Or you can't find it--like it moves---especially when it's on your back and you struggle to reach it--it moves!!! Has that ever happen to anyone besides me???.....and why can't a person tickle themselves?..what gives with that?..I could never figure that out....tickle! tickle!...teehee.
Oct 1, 1999...Gee, already October!...Beautiful Autumn!...Leaves are beginning to show their brilliance, the mass of color, nature's work of art...such beauty everywhere...ooooo...Fall Foliage Rides!
Sept. 30, 1999...Wow!..look at this e-mail clip!: "After selling out the Westmont Theatre last week, we are proud to
announce the return of Bruce Cockburn! In fact, make that the Bruce
Cockburn Band! Catch Bruce and his band on March 11 at the Keswick!"...now, all I need to find out is where The Keswick is......Here it is!..I am so happy!...Some Bruce Lyrics
Sept. 30, 1999...Like I said, "The Sensous Senator" rehearsals are coming along terrific and it's going to be full of laughs!..I can't wait!.two weeks away only, Yikes!...now to remember my lines....DOUBLE YIKES!!!
Sept 29, 1999...Well, we've had a drought for most of the summer in the Northeast and we've recently gotten substantial rainfall lessening the emergency situation, however, this is the Bloomsburg Fair Week, and OF Course, as always the case, it's raining most of the week, never fails!..really!..But doesn't seem to hurt the event--check out the link!
Sept. 27, 1999...Ok it's not soooo bad, sorry for the outburst...
Sept. 26, 1999...AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
Sept. 26, 1999....May our goals be more than wishful thinking....May our intentions, be our actions....Resolve to follow through...GO & WORK IN THE VINEYARD TODAY! (and if the wine is good--savor it!)...not to conflict with Lutheran theology, just a comment, Our works are done out of love--no more, no less, not to earn God's approval, but rather in response to His gracious invitation.
Sept. 25, 1999...another entry for today....at the Puter class earlier, I viewed my page..Yikes!..even worse than I thought....the pictures were all over the place because of the smaller monitor and the captions were scattered as well, soon I hope to straighten all that out..sorry..I am sure I look like a complete doddo!(thats why the class!)...just me...now all I need is some time.
Sept. 25, 1999...I am at my pc class right this moment!!!Yikes!...
Sept. 25, 1999...HUGE Pet Peeve---When you find that just right parrallel parking spot and you signal, pull ahead of it to back in the proper way, and the car behind you pulls right up to your bumper--allowing no room to back in!..Then starts beeping their horn besides! I hate that! Geez!..also people that drive in heavy fog without lights--thats down-right dangerous!..like "I am soo-- selfish!..I can see you! Doesn't matter if you can see me!..only if I can see you! I am the only important one!" Geez! Gimme a break!...and while I am on this soapbox---Dave wants to know the probability & statistics of dropping a water hose with a trigger nozzle and having it not only land on the trigger part, squirting the water, but aimed right at him!...Gets him everytime!...*giggles*...Well it's early morning start of a new day, so.....*smile*
Sept. 24, 1999...Everyone needs that pat on the back to keep 'em going!..whatever form it comes in...without it everything just seems the same..day after day...no need to give that extra effort...
Sept. 22, 1999...Someone dear reminded me that I do have patience---things in my life have shown that,...but what of this constant feeling of frenzy?..Yikes!..So I have decided I have long-term patience but little short-term patience..???!!*%#?!!...subdued patience/subtle patience...hmmm?..thinking..patiently pondering..tee hee.
Sept. 22, 1999...Happy Birthday to Mom....
Sept. 21, 1999...Drowning in my tears...boo hoo...(just kidding)...tried down to the wire to get Bruce Cockburn sold-out tickets---Had my hopes up, not to be...Que Sera Sera~~(Did I spell that correctly?)...Best CD of his (I think)...Live "Waiting for a Miracle-singles 1970-1987"..favorite song: "They call it Democracy", favorite love song: "One of the Best Ones" on "Nothing But a Burning Light" CD--not crazy 'bout the new one too much, but will have to be patient for another show...he's heading back to Canada...*sigh*...Well, I'm wearin' my Bruce t-shirt the rest of the night...Can't believe few have heard of him, even though he has released 25 albums!...Check him out on CDNOW.com..and don't forget my links on Music & Concerts...BYE!
Sept. 21, 1999...Reality must be seen for what it is, to best be prepared for the unexpected---No burying your head in the sand, setting yourself up for an ambush!..just my opinion...Instead of "What you don't know can't hurt you,"..."What you don't know CAN and WILL hurt you!" So smarten up!!..just my opinion....tee hee.
Sept. 19, 1999.."A chain is only as strong as it's weakess link."...How come I just heard that?..everyone else heard it before!..not I!.. I like it!
Sept. 19, 1999...I've said it before and I'll say it again---Life just isn't fair....so just make the best of who you are and what you are...."The first shall be last--and the last shall be first."
Sept. 18, 1999...Ah Gee!..Ever feel like a rubber band pulled tight as could be, and everybody keeps plucking?!..Ouch!...Can't take that plucking!!...
Sept. 18, 1999...heard somewhere subtle patience--hmmm!? What is that?..I sure wouldn't know....don't have patience, and nothin subtle about me...
Sept. 17, 1999..I don't have too much time on my hands!..AHEM!..just like to use it for things that are interesting and fun!..Oh and like my kids say--I never run out of energy!..(Yes, I do!)
Sept. 17, 1999...Sadly, Hurricane Floyd left much heartache for many---I heard reports of 19--possibly 22 dead, including two little girls in Delaware...In all this hardship, I am reminded of a question..."In acts of nature---natural disasters, Where is God?"..Nature just is/has to be in the scheme of things..."God" is in the relief workers, the outreach of people helping to bring care & comfort....the Love, where else?...a prayer for strength to those families affected....
Sept. 16, 1999...Yikes!..just viewed my page on MS Explorer which I never do- I use Netscape...It was all jumbled up!...If this appears all screwed up, it's because I am a complete amatuer!..different screen sizes--browsers/software views differently....So be kind, please!...I'm learning!
Sept. 16, 1999...It's something how your place of employment/the people you work with, have so much influence on your moods!..You just work there---Geez!... maybe because you spend so many hours there..."Fortunately or unfortunately" depending on where you work & what you do.....TODAY, a brief conversation with a self-admitted cynical co-worker almost got me sucked into his miserable, negative hell-hole world! Yikes!..but then ran into another co-worker that smiled & said a genuine happy "Hello!" which made me smile again and kept me from hangin' out in that dark dreary hole (mood) the rest of the day!..Thanks Rich!..."Smile & Say Hello!"..you just never know who's day you might turn around!
Sept. 16, 1999...Ok..Flash flood watch/warnings....rain, rain, and more rain....I think the drought emergency just MIGHT be over after tomorrow!..Thanks Floyd!
Sept. 15, 1999..."Explanation for a wrong" doesn't make it hurt any less, but it may help to put a wrong to rest....
Sept. 14, 1999...It seems fitting that the hurricane they name "Floyd" would really pack a punch!...makes sense to me!...

Sept. 7, 1999...Thinking...is one's level of happiness limited to the scope of one's expectations?...unfair, but true---having high hopes we are so easily let-down; having none we are pleasantly surprised....yet as humans we are destined to dream, so what to do???.. or as Dave puts it; "Life Sucks!"...
Sept. 7, 1999...I love paid holidays alot, BUT this is one of those weeks now, where Tuesday feels like Monday, Wednesday will feel like Tuesday and Friday will never come!--- even though it's supposed to be a short work week it will seem extra long!...go figure!?!...
Sept. 6, 1999...Schuylkill County, Pa makes the national news again---after 65 years of Hegin's Labor Day Live Pigeon Shoot they call this year off...Wish we'd make the national news for something truly positive all the way around..hmpf!

August 31, 1999...Everyday's an opportunity to make a smile---everyone you meet, every life you touch is never the same; so make it great!---all you do, all you say, you never look at in the same way, when you touch someone's life and they touch yours if only for a moment in a day.

August 3, 1999...gave this advice out a couple of times lately so guess I'll post it here for all to see...When you have been hurt sometime in the past or if you are just afraid, you build a thick protective wall to keep you from getting hurt again, BUT that same protective wall keeps you from ever really getting close...you have to take a leap of fate to really fly!
