Signing out for April

It is time to take a look at my life and see if there is a way to make a better me. Thus, I am signing out for the month of April.
My plan is to avoid television and as much unpleasantness as possible. This includes family members, friends and just plain folks who are negative or who cause me to be negative. If I could go away and hide for a month I would do so. If I could simply not speak to anyone for a month I would do so.
My brain is over stimulated. I am not getting any younger, slimmer, prettier, smarter, or any further ahead in the game of life. Therefore, I will read a lot and I will try to become inspired to start finishing the many books I have started. Some of those books just have titles.
I also will stop eating salt, which is a long time habit that has probably already done irreversible damage to my heart, blood vessels and brain.
Without salt I should become slimmer. If I read and write, I should become smarter. If I become slimmer I will probably look younger. If I look younger and become smarter, I will probably feel prettier. And I may find a new exciting course for my life.
The above is a clear possibility and some foolishness. But I believe it to be necessary for my sanity. Although I can not totally avoid life, because this is FairTax month and I will have to compel myself to attend a TEA party and maybe a meeting or two. And then I have to interact with people in my work. But I can limit my conversations to dialog that is necessary.
And finally, I will commit to speak to my Lord every day this month. For although he has been very good to me, I have avoided him for a long time now. Only speaking with him as my spirit moves me not as his spirit moves me. What a wasteland we create for ourselves; what opportunities we allow to pass us by. If only we would call and wait upon the Lord. If only we would embrace the Peace that Passes Understanding.
I Was Lost, But Jesus Found Me, Found The Sheep That Went Astray. Put His Loving Arms Around Me, Drew Me Back Unto His Way.
The Lord willing and the creek don't rise and Obama hasn't given America away, I will see you here in May with a full report on my little side journey in life.
Keep smiling and don't forget: for comic relief listen to Joe Biden.

  1. Look Up! for tomorrow will be a better day. I put the milk in the pantry and the cereal box in the refrigerator. You've got to admit when our lives get this busy stop and laugh, take two and go find the roses and smell them
