Doggie Doors & Sticks

I'm sitting out here in the New Dining room set up
Watching the Dogs be Dogs in the back yard

The doors are closed, but they use the doggie door to come in and out.
Of Course

Misty Finds Her Stick
(She Loves to Peel Sticks)
Misty wants to bring her stick Inside
(Of course the stick Is Actually A Tree Branch)
She Uses the doggie door
(Well, Tried)
She puts her stick down, walks to the end of it
Picks up the end and walks through the doggy door Backwards

Watching her figure things out
Never Gets Old

When All The Appliances TALK

~A Quick lesson on How You are Programmed ~

You know you are in world all your own
When all the appliances Yell at you
"I am DONE"
"Deal with Me Now"

Goodness
It has been a long 20 years raising 4 children
A Husband
Several Kittens (that turned into CATS)
Dogs & Birds
Bills & Other daily "Things"
We Must attend to!
On top of all the house work & Maintaining

It's like "Yes Please, I need One more thing to Demand My Attention"
Now we find our stoves, dishwashers, fridges, washers & dryers
Cars, Phones, Coffee pots, microwaves and the endless List of
Computer gears, All Demanding us to get it done NOW.

I say, Let them Yell,,,
Turn off the cell phones for 1 hour
~See what You miss out on~

Perhaps Nothing
I find it interesting though
On how our Brains are being programmed to Respond in Urgency
To a Beep
I mean, This is how Pavlov Conditioned the dog
Think about it

No wonder People are going through Fatique,
Sleep disorders
Waking disorders
Tapping fingers disorders
Video game addictions
~~~~~~~~
Now that is funny!
See you running!
(Restless leg disorder)
Because you know, NOW people do not even know how to shut themselves off
That is what I get paid to do

Where does Feeling Angry Get me?

.......... Feeling Angry Is a very Human response............

Realizing HOW to use that energy to your benefit is beyond Human

......... Let's say Someone has said something, that stirs a feeling of Anger in You.....

Do you direct your anger at that person or direct it at another?

......... Sometimes A Thank You is in order.........

Am I NUTS?

Why Yes, On some levels

But if you think about it, when you get angry, You move faster, think harder and get stuff done.

Sometimes Anger is the energy that Motivates, Unblocks and revives You into Action.

If you could Learn how to get to this level of Action without having to get angry first

Now wouldn't that be Wonderful!

Let's see now.....

Do you anger easily?

Do you let that anger choose your words?

Do you choose Your next action because of the words used or because of the feelings Invoked?

Evaluate Yourself Next time Someone Angers you

And Go Do That THING You have been putting off

DO NOT SIT IN ANGER

Let the anger evolve into a Creative Outlet, Watch how easy everything else BECOMES

Now Change the energy and No longer Have the NEED to encounter angry to feel Alive or Powerful.

The strongest people Know Why, How and When to walk away from a situation that causes anger.

They Know, The energy in the anger will Spark a Renewal of sorts that can be put to better use somewhere else.

Do Not fall for the Joke!

Live above it

 

Just my Thoughts today on what I am "feeling" Angry about.

2013 Have You Learned anything?

*** This post is a bit different than ALL my other posts ***
My Only request,,, CHECK YOUR REALITY,,,

Burrr It's Cold Out there!
Blizzards up the East Coast..
That's not Werid... I do find myself wondering
Snow & Rain in Arizona... That's not strange either...
But if you listen to the News Broadcast along with the doomdayers,, Holy Cow
Anixety will hit all New Levels of Income for the Insurance Companies!
It's a Good thing I'm educated in Brain Processes :)

On Tv.....
OOO Look At that! Flights to Hawaii out of the Gateway airport!
Now there's a Thought!

A Cheese commerical ... apparently One brand of cheese is easier to cut than another brand....
A Big Mac commerical.... I wonder How long a big mac really is good for compared to earth grown foods.... That's right want to preserve yourself? Eat another!

And the Free Chinese Lunar New Years party in Phoenix this weekend! ...

After cancelling cable, I am amazed at how much Half News / Repeat News is really out there in the world.
When I was paying $80 for cable, I was amazed at how much I was paying to watch infommericals & cartoons.

Just the other day, I listened to a Lady talk about how Everything (foodwise) Reported from Previous years are all wrong and here's the new Testing/Survey results.
As she went down her lists of how Milk Chocolate is Now Good for you, Drinking any kind of Liquor is Good for you, How Drinking Coffee is a health benefit, How Organic Grown foods are Not any healthier for you than the Shipped over seas foods.
In My Head.. 1st Question.. Where in the heck is she getting her Info (GMO MUCH?)
2nd... Why has she NOT mentioned the word MODERATION
3rd... We are IN an "UNOFFICAL" economy crunch, yet we can pay for such surveys?
Well Heck Ya! The Insurance Companies are ROLLING in the dough!

I could NOT believe what I was hearing LOL!
of course I was watching the news...

The Gun issue.. Oh Good Lord!
I do keep my words to myself on Most Issues, Those Issues are in my backyard also
BUT boy does the Media really promote Agendas..

I do find it funny how anixety levels change when people (society) gets excited over the newest Iphone
Or video game. After a week or 2 of using the newest product the buyer ends up with a "New" Physical Undiagnosable Condition. LOL
Never Visit WebMD unless You want a New Condition
(Sorry)

~~ LET'S Introject Facebook & Online Media ~~

I swear! There are so many photoshopped images running across my eyeballs!
Do Not believe everything you see either. If you find yourself Believing something Please check to see who paid to have that image made and wrote about.
Another thing I am so Sick of seeing ~ People taking photos of Propped Puppies and Kittens Put in the worst of worst situations and SHARING THE PHOTOS w/Captions!
~~~ Yes that's a cute puppy, What abuse did it have to go through for you to put it in that position?
Whatever ~ Go Make your money off that Cute Puppy picture, Little does anyone stop to think ~ What happens to THE puppy in a few months when It's no longer sellable even for pictures~
Whatever ~ Keep sharing~ I'm sure NO ONE (Puppy Mills/backyard breeders) AREN'T making any profit off of Those Cute Little HARMLESS PICTURES YOU ARE SHARING~

Longer Story Short...
I have to say, I'm so glad I quit paying for Cable, This Tv bit is just so NOT LIFE.........
Get out meet your neighbors,
Take that walk without fear in your head and see what interesting person You will meet.
Look at others with New eyes w/o the influence of the Media.
Allow Yourself Not to expect the worse

Good Lord! I've got to get back to Treasure Travelling!
Even if by foot, I wonder if there are going to be some fun 0.25 Yard sales in my area today.
I'll get back to you on that!

End of the Trail ~ Laughing horse ~ Tired Man

The BASICS
Frame is 14" x 12"
 print
Retouched Rustic Wooden frame

No glass front

Native American Indian & His horse at the End of the Trail
This is a reprint picture on paper marked 1991 Advanced Graphics
Stock #47B

What we Started Out with....

 End of the Trail

What we Ended Up With

 End of the Trail

MY DAUGHTER Helped w/ This Print

 End of the Trail

In our 3d Kick, My daughter and I have taken this print and added some texture touches to it...
We used some arizona Stones, sand, dried plant life for the scenery
And then We Gussied up the horse using some Santa Fe fabrics & wig hair to give him a 3d' Mane & tail
The Frame Needed SOMETHING!
It May Not have been The Style of Choice
My son said, "You should have stuck w/ Native Indian Designs"
Like Kokopelli, Pottery or Sun God designs

But You know,

Frankie the Cat

For Arizona!
The Whole Piece turned out PUUURFECT
I Think Frankie agrees!

What to do What to DO! R.Knudson Israel Reproduction Print

So I've Had this Wall Print Hanging for quite a while now

Waiting to be Sold in the booth for about 6months I'd say

I just could NOT figure out How to make it WORK..

The Picture is a Painting reproduction of Robert Knudson's

"Israel's Eastern Gates"

On board

but it's a reproduction so To Me

That means PLAY TIME!

I started out with this

(Below)

Kundson's Israels Eastern Gates Picture

The Lighting differences Makes the Colors Look different

Don't let the faded Look fool you

This is a gorgeously Detailed & Colored Print

Spiritual Location Wall hanging w/sand & stone

I've added some white sand & Stones gathered from my little Outtings in Arizona

R. Knudson Israel's Eastern Gates 3d 

This is what I ended up with!

I think it's fun, interesting and No Longer just a reprint

What I love about finding just the right stones

Look at the top of the building

Those 2 stones are NOT Painted Or Touched

I Pulled them directly off the ground looking like that

I work with A Lot of stones in my World

But Literally Know Very Little about them.

I'm a Visual/Kinetic

I See Possiblities/ Outcomes before I even realize What I am Doing

Finding these Stones, Picking them Up

That's what It's all about

Being at the right place at the right time

Just Being...

Let's Play & Just Be
