Resolution 1: Get in Shape
Every year I make a list of things that I would like to accomplish or improve upon, but as is the case for most people, I am not always successful. This year I needed to try something different.

Changing the Frequencies of Our Thoughts
Is it possible that different types of thoughts have different frequencies, just like a radio station? I believe the answer to that is that to a degree they do, however it’s not the thoughts that emit a frequency it’s the brainwaves, which are directly controlled by thoughts and emotions. That brainwave frequency is then transmitted into the world, so to speak. Others pick up on the frequency, or vibration, and are attracted to it or repelled by it depending on their frequency at a particular time.

There comes a time when each one of us must admit that, no matter how hard we try, we can no longer do it all. That is especially important when it comes to the subject of caring for our elderly parents. Let's consider a hypothetical situation of Carol who is divorced, her children and siblings all live out of state. At the first indication that her mother could no longer live on her own, Carol moved Mom into her home and has been her sole caregiver for six years. Carol recently had a heart attack brought on by stress and the all-too-common failure to care for herself.

I know you’re probably feeling like your heart has been ripped out and stomped on and that your hopes and dreams have been shattered. Do what you have to do (within reason, of course) to grieve this loss—cry, get angry, punch your pillow, throw darts at your ex’s picture.

Boomers Accept Assisted Living Communities? Not Likely . . .
It seems that lately there's another assisted living community being built on just about every empty lot in town. What does this mean to the future? For the immediate future, it's great. We Boomers who have no time, no desire, no call to welcome our elder parents into our own homes have someplace to put Mom and/or Dad as they need more and more assistance. But in the back of our minds, aren't we really thinking, "Gee, Mom and Dad are going to love it here. It has all the amenities they could ask for. But there's no way in h&%# I'm ever going to live here!" Now be honest.

Positive and Negative Language
When I was growing up, a senior was someone in their last year of high school or college. We would never have dreamed of calling our elders "seniors." It just wasn't appropriate. Over the years, however, the word "senior" has become synonymous with "elder" (usually meaning anyone over the age of 55). Well, folks, I'm over 55 and I really resent the negative images that come with the current usage of that word. No, I'm not ready for a retirement home. No, I don't want to move into a gated 55+ community where the only sign of life is the occasional car on the street.

On the other side, some tolerate, wait with patience, keep their moral high and try not to affect others in a negative manner. It all depends on our nature what we do. So what we do in our hard time is our real nature, and we need to preserve our identity in those difficult times too.

Mirrors
Mirrors, mirrors all around Why don’t I hear the joyful soundr Of myself clapping as I stroll by? Is it you or is it I? Aarghhh! My sincere apologies to the real poets of the world! The things I do to amuse myself… Mirrors lie. All those pieces of glass with the reflective coating on the back – lie. You know they do. They never, never give us a true picture of ourselves. First of all of course, everything we see in them is backwards. We don’t see “us”. We see a skewed, backwards “us”. It’s not at all what other people see.

Where’d It Go?
Time. I’m talking about Time! Where’d it go? Not just yesterday, or the week before, but last year – and the one before that – and the one before that… Wow! It seems like not all that long ago I was running through the alfalfa field on our central Nebraska farm chasing grasshoppers and butterflies and whatever other little flyie (yes, this is a brand new word that you may pencil in on the border of your dictionary if you wish) guys that happened to be hanging around that day.

Values
The high intensity and shrewdness of marketing is influencing our society and family life in the wrong way. It is shaping our lives by starting on us at a very early age and continually persuading us to want something new. We need to stop and consider what is important in making our lives happier. Did that latest purchase make us happier? Was it worth the price we paid? Did it last or did we begin craving for a new thing? Programmed to do so, most of us go through life always wanting more and better.

Just Let ‘Em Go!
I remember when I was just a little guy probably about 4 or 5 years old, I was fascinated by snakes. Not any particular type of snake – just snakes in general. I remember being really curious about how they could move around so easily without any legs or feet. I remember liking the colors on the garter snakes that slithered through our Nebraska summer garden. And – I remember one day picking up one of those fascinating garter snakes and holding it right in front of my face so I could get a little better look at the colorful markings on its head.

Sneaky, Sneaky, Sneaky…
I don’t know what else you’d call it. “Sneaky” is the only word I can think of that best describes the actions of the frequently devious little part of our mind that is commonly referred to as our “subconscious”. “Sneaky”. Just plain, out and out sneaky. Oh, that’s not to say that our subconscious always operates in the brat mode. Far from it. With the right kind of conditioning – programming, if you will – it can serve us quite nicely. It can help create a life of happiness and productivity.

Where You Can Find Sympathy
Ask any of my kids and they’ll tell you immediately that you’ll find it in the dictionary between “sh—“ and “syphilis”. Wasn’t that absolutely cruel and unkind of me to instill in them a nearly total distain for the concept of “sympathy”? With so many individuals in the world suffering in so many ways, how could I possibly be so heartless? I am without a doubt, an uncaring, evil SOB! Well, maybe not. Here are a couple of things to think about. First, I’ll give you my definition of sympathy: “A sharing or agreement of feelings with another person”.

Really Scary Stuff…
With the probable exception of some basic instincts – or motivation toward self-preservation – we’ve just flat learned to be afraid of about all the rest of the stuff we’re afraid of. I know, the word “about” is a cop-out but I’m using it because I’m not really sure where this next mega-fear comes from. Maybe it’s an instinct thing, too.

LOOK FOR THE POSITIVES
Our lives are overflowing with negative information from the newspapers, magazines, television and radio. Nations are at war, thousands are dying of starvation and hundreds are killed by natural disasters. There is no avoiding or ignoring the facts.

Non Medicinal Remedy for Migraine Headache Sufferers
First let me explain regular headaches. These are usually caused by stress and/or tension causing the neck muscles to tighten up. This causes pressure on the blood vessels which in turn causes them to swell from the restriction of the blood flow.

Aspirins usually cause the blood to thin which relieves the pressure on the pain nerves and thus a temporary relief from the pain. The aspirin is the relief from the effect, not the cause which is the stress/tension.

I'm almost embarrassed to admit it because nearly everyone seems to be saying "why doesn't this work?" or "why can't I get that to happen?" or even, "Are you seriously suggesting I attracted THAT?" Before I explain, let me tell you what doesn't work. Positive thinking. It feels good - until things crash around you! Then you just feel guilty for "doing it wrong" or "not doing enough." But thinking won't cause things to manifest. Visualisation.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. - Mark Twain, American writer Although I've never really read any of Mark Twain's books, I LOVE his quotes. He was such a brilliant man.
