Life School




I look around and I see I have so many projects started but really don’t do much with them. I have collected a lot of material for hobbies and I find I do more sitting around drinking coffee/tea, snacking. Watching TV or playing with my phone.

Relaxing but not living.

Days go by. Weeks, sometimes months, before I actually get up and do “hobbies”, you know the fun stuff.

Thinking back to when I was most productive, fun and care free. Dare I say it… School: Grade school, High School. Back when I was young and had no choice.

Get up m-f get dressed go to school, math, science, literature, history, P.E. Lunch. Then there were the electives, typing, home ec, music… Then you go home you have the weekends off but still there were chores to do and homework.

So I decided to arrange my day in “classes”. Seems like it should work, I just need to plan my courses. Here is a list of what I want to take (school terminology, not actual time or actual order yet):

Meditation (home room, preparing for the day). 1st hour

Main courses:

Phys. Ed. (yoga, Tai Chi, Belly dance)

Optics class (my job (studying for ABO) – T/Th-Su This class is filled with classmates (co-workers, Patients)

Home Ec. (Home maintenance (cleaning), Interior design (decorating))

Lunch hour (food prep and dining), will need at least 3 per day.

Recess (Phone, TV, general loafing around)

Electives:

Art Class (Painting, cake decorating) - M/Th

Music class (piano, violin, drum, flute) - T/F (future plans for Erhu and Harp)

Photography class - W/Sa

Reiki Class

Meditation (Home room again, cool down, closure to the day) 8th hour

And “Field Trips” of course, time with friends and family, vacations and holidays.

Taking the time to carefully plan and organize. Open to frequent restructuring, (Optic Class schedule fluctuates can be from 3 to 9.5 hrs. plus travel time).

Main objective is to keep it simple, flowing, Consistent, effortless and most of all: FUN!

There will be no punishments for course work not completed. Well...Optics Class has major requirements... But for everything else:

No make-up exams.

No extra homework.

No detention.

No suspension or expulsion.

Get off track? Simply check course schedule and resume.

If it is not enjoyable it will fail and the hum drum life with seep back in.


*Note: Not all classes need to be considered self/study. Classmates are Welcome!

Remember; Living is what we are here for.

Love Meow!

From Sheepy to right Meow. An Introduction.

I have always loved cats and I have always loved the sounds they make. The word meow meaning everything and sounds different all the time. But then I was sitting here thinking about a name for this blog. My husband kept saying how about My Meow's because I LOVE CATS. And I thought no, people would be thinking it is a cat site and over look it or the cat people would look at it and say YAY a cat site and then be disappointed that it wasn't about cats. So just to clarify, This blog is not about cats but they may creep in now and then. But strangely enough that is what I am calling it, WHY? Because I am obsessed with cats and they make things more interesting to me. So what is My Meow's? Well, It is basically a group of my revelations or thoughts and insights as they happen that I have uncovered for myself that well, my cat could have told me before and I just wasn't listening. Such as live in the “Meow” well, you know that cats don't literally say MEOW it is close tho...

An Adventure

 WOW, Haven't written anything for quite a long time now. So much has happened. At the end of June I acquired a cold. We were changing truck companies and staying in a motel room (supposed to be smoke free) that reeked of cigarettes. OK that did not help any with the cold or my allergies. Spent a week there then moved into our NEW truck. Yes, NEW! Meaning fresh carpet, fresh glue, ya know that deadly new car smell. Then a few weeks later we got a KITTY, yes I know I am allergic to kitties but I wanted one so bad. We had lots of room in the new truck for all the kitty accessories. Now, did I still have a cold or now was it just allergies to the new chemical soup I was living in? Husband bought a air freshener to cover his smoking smells. Yes more of something I KNOW I am allergic to.  I am then taking all kinds of OTC meds for colds, flu, asthma. Wishing I had a health food store to stop at. Oh yes, I also had to learn to dispatch our own lo...

Negative Thoughts and Feelings

If you find a thought or feeling going thru you that you consider "bad" or "inappropirate" Don't repress it, or try to hide it in some corner of your mind and pretend it never happened. Instead, acknowledge it. Shine the light on it and really look at it. Where did it come from?, yes if you really look you will find it. Does it have any value? It really is a valid thought, there is a lesson there. What changes could you make to it that would make it a useful tool for you? Repressing your unwanted thoughts and feelings only builds them up until they try to break thru into your outer world for example as anger or some embarrassing act so you will finally look at them. Shining the light on them will teach you some very valuable lessons about yourself and can actually take away their negative power. Why play the victim and let your thoughts have power over you? After all this is YOUR journey, YOU are in control.
