Life In Chaos!

July 16, 2013 By

I know Mercury is in Retrograde.  I would love to blame everything on Mercury.  I need to find out when Mercury is out of Retrograde so my life will calm down. I hope.   As I am getting older I find that I don’t handle things as well as I used to.  One of my business partners deserted me leaving things a mess. Now I have to find a replacement. I am looking into moving someplace new but finding the right place for me is not an easy task.  I could move just for Pickleball competition, move where it’s cooler, move where dating possibilities are better.  How can I make a decision and who can help me make this decision?  No one can really counsel me but I can resort to the old Ben Franklin technique (the comparison T on a blank page).  Recently, I lost a very good friend to Alzheimer’s disease showing me how fragile life is and making me think about enjoying every moment. How do I enjoy chaos?  It’s hard to think when it’s 122 degrees.  I don’t do much on those days. Getting up at 5am every morning to workout before the heat and now humidity permeates everything, makes me tired by 3pm.  Outside, I feel as if I am wrapped in a blanket.  In the evenings a few times a week I take salsa dance classes just so my brain cells are challenged and so are my feet.
Now that I think of it, I’m really having a great time and a wonderful life.  Mercury, you’re not going to get the best of me!

A friend said today that I would look 10 years younger if I dyed my hair instead of having it gray.  Is that true?  Isn’t age an attitude and posture?  I need to mull this over….

Tip of the day:  Pull your shoulders back to open your chest and breathe deeply.  GOOD POSTURE BECOMES YOU.
