graffiti on a cyber wall

It's hard to find time to blog these days.  The river of life is flowing fast and there is so much going on.  Many changes every day. 
People are looking at my house.  Someone will buy it soon.  Then I'll be homeless. Where will I stay?  Yikes!!!
  
There is still too much stuff in the house and shop building.    There is so much to do to make the house more appealing to buyers! Painting! Weeding! Mowing! Hauling things away!   I have hired some help. Can't hire help much though.  It's costly.   YIKES!

I've rented a storage space for my son's stuff and for the few things I'm taking with me in the RV. I'll be moving some things to storage this weekend.  I have things that belong to other people.  I need to get those where they belong. Yikes!!!!!
 
Speaking of RVs, I need to purchase one.  Yikes!!!! 

I've turned in all the necessary paper work to retire.  One month left and I'll be unemployed.   My office at work still needs more cleaning out.  The last semester at work is coming to an end.   Lots of testing and grading and reporting to do.  Yikes!!!!!!
   
More to do:
Get electronic billing and paying set up and working.
Pay off as many things as I can.
Pack
Deal with Einstein
Go to the doctor and figure out my meds
Call the insurance company and figure out my meds and coverage
Have things turned off and canceled
Forward mail to where?
YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All these Yikes!!!!! require some relief so I'm going to NOLA with Christy and Jesse in May.  I need a break.
 
This is a very busy, exciting, and scary time in my life.  w00t! w00t! It is filled with mixed feelings, beginnings and endings, and goodbyes with no hellos.  Going on adventure and saying goodbye to places and people for what may very well be the last time is a bitter yet sweet experience.

Entertainment

I've watched more TV than I usually do.  I found a few shows I could recommend.
Life has a Zen feel to it.
Touch I can't explain, you just have to watch this.  I give it five stars.
Mr. Nobody is an interesting look at time and multiverses.  I don't believe in time but I do believe in multiverses.

Websites

Lonely Blogs is a site where you can promote your blog if you're into that.  From their site: "We made this website in order to support bloggers from all over the world and the blogger community. It works by reading RSS or Atom feeds that users provide and then links to the newest posts on user's blogs."
 
StoreDot works with biological self-assembling, non-toxic, organic-based materials.The website is definitely worth a visit.
   
Goodpeoplebrewing.com is located in Birmingham, Alabama. That is about an hour from where I stay.  BeerAdvocate, a leading voice in the beer community, says the four highest-rated beers in the South are Good People Brewing beers.

Things I Thought

NOLA

We are heading to New Orleans in May and I maybe going again in June or July.  It's hard to tell about the second trip.  My life is in flux. Anyway, I thought I'd post a few New Orleans pictures to get us in the mood.

One of my favorite books is Be Here Now by Baba Ram Dass.  Yogi Pondurengedas gave me a copy when I visited him in Berkeley a long time ago.  This is one of the gems that will go with me on the road.

Things I thought

The Universe is a masterpiece of love, help, and karma.  It does not strain to do what it does.  We are part of the universe.  Why do we strain?
I choose to live in possibility.
I choose to live in joy.
I choose to live in love.
I choose to live in peace.
I'm not fighting against anything. 
I refuse to focus on what I do not want.

Do you have a complex relationship with your past? I can if I allow myself to over think it.  My  mind is a powerful tool when used correctly. When it is left to run wild it can be a powerful enemy.

Thoughts on Chaos Theory
I can (and should) willingly leave my comfort zone or I can wait for chaos to push me out. Either way, I won't be allowed to stay there.

Some losers "...seek to evade reality by hiding behind a crusade seeking to reinstate "moral values", "noble ideas", and "social justice"." ~ Dr. W. M. Shelton
