WYSIWYG

What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.

Menolistal [men-oh-list-all]; the state of leaning out of the box a bit.

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.

You may be wondering at the acronyms of the last two.  That will be revealed, but a wee 'forecast'; the last one relates to Aitch and YAM's first venture to OZ...

You're already entertained at the thought of that aren't you?!

    Hello 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

  7. Interesting list! And shush don't tell Bertie but I would so love to go sledding with Malamutes...

    Did 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.

    Lovely 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
