As
menolooped on Tuesday, Aitch had me pondering the 'what if…?" basket in
this wavery head. I had been mentioning
that written work for the vedanta course was becoming pretty dense and I was
needing to think of ways to ease the writing pressure a wee tad here on MMM.
HAH!
One does
wonder at the timing of things. This is
the week in which the dissertation was finalised and handed in and also the one
in which the end of course - decide your future - interview was due. Thus the process transmuted into a review of
life in general and what's so important about all this stuff after all? What's more, it only works on the premise of
the biggest 'what if…?" of all "...I won the lottery" which we
all know>>>>>>>>>>>
I do know
folk who have had substantial small wins, so never say never. But you do have to be in it to win it… and I
ain't. Never mind. There is much that can be done simply by
virtue of 'creating it' and as am of the philosophical bent anyway, that will
take me to many places. Indeed it
already has. Only when I have stopped
and got stuck in those places did things get a bit messy. It is necessary to keep visualising (this is
NOT daydreaming) and then acting on the necessary steps that will either lead
to the vision becoming fact, or lead one to something not previously thought of
and just as, if not more, wonderful. The
key to this philosophy is keep working and accept everything as a gift.
Sigh. That having been said. I finally came up with 40, slightly iffy,
things to be done or see through to conclusion.
This, then is more by way of an affirmation listing. Like might be done on December 31st in
preparation for January 1st, in anticipation of the affirmations taking hold
before the following December 31st. The
point being that it is a mutational listing.
Something may be achieved, therefore creating space for something else
to arrive.
Anyway, I
couldn't number or prioritise them at all.
Rather they have come out in categories representing feasibility. Today am putting the straight listing. Then from tomorrow, will break it down a bit,
'coz there may be some explaining to do.

ReplyDeleteHello lovely Puddles - are you crossing your paws for mum right now??? I agree this is a steep listing - but gotta have a challenge in life to make getting out of bed worthwhile.
I know you did your bucket tour not so long ago - but wonder what else you would like to do?
Please tell mum, there's nothing wrong with what ifs, as long as we don't rely on them becoming definites!! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty x
Own another telescope? Sigh. And you know why .
ReplyDeleteBollywood, mandalas yes and a few more would be on mine too. Aitch has a lot to answer for. D day tomorrow. I'll keep ya posted. Body aches with a cold and a touch of fever.
Oh guess what got lou's for the boys and I today. Excuse sick!

ReplyDeleteMahal - would that be pizza's then? Mine's a margharita with an avocado salad to side! Remember the brews (back on april 19 "menodicinal").
Magiceye - thank you sir - it was a bit traumatic putting it together, but now I think am onto something. Please do enjoy the day expansions!
Interesting list! And shush don't tell Bertie but I would so love to go sledding with Malamutes...
ReplyDeleteDid see a couple of Shakespeare plays at Stratford when at school in the seventies. King Lear and Twelfth Night - the latter was our 'O' level set text. Orsino was played, very camp. by a young Ian McKellan, and on the bus home the English teacher nervously told us not to write in our exams that Orsino was (her words) 'a queer'.
Cheers! Gail.
Yam, Louie's is your fave Chinese from Asquith. Forgotten already?

ReplyDeleteLovely to see you Gail (& Bertie)! Oh how wonderful to have seen an actor of worth before they became known; I recall at a similar timeframe going to see Macbeth in Ipswich and it had a very young Brian Cant in the lead. Don't recall anything controversial coming out of it though!!! YAM xx
