76 Part I: More parts work than don't...Meditations on humor & philosophy

4:00 PM


...Just finished my first round of self care…

  • Morning centering prayer meditation

  • Kundalini yoga

  • Water miracle (shower)

  • Breakfast with and courtesy of Eileen

  • Feeding our backyard feathered friends

  • Daily walk around town

  • Daily visit to my friendly neighborhood baristas at Witches Brew Coffee House


…and sitting down now - 5:15 PM - to receive all of my virtual birthday well-wishers. Some of the following musings and those in the other "76" series birthday posts have - like the delicious coffee & tea at Witches Brew - "bean" percolating for such a day as this...I'll "leave" it to you to take or leave what interests you.


Oh! I see now how this post has way too many paths to fit into one sitting...or, even, one lifetime...So, I'll be creating several servings (i.e., posts)...See below...



Today’s ”T” leaves messages with Yogi


I always take some tea with Yogi during my Kundalini yoga practices...



The "Yogi" brand was started by the guy that introduced Kundalini yoga to America: Yogi Bhajan.


Speaking of tea...



Goldie's mention of "appliances" surfaced this classic from the Neo-Laughphic period:

  • As I love myself...I love you (Leviticus...Mark...Galatians...)

  • Listening to my life’s partner/helpmate companion guide

  • Friendships are essential nutrients

  • Keeping the gratitude in my attitude




These are a few of my favorite things:

  • Waking up next to Eileen

  • Current favorite instrument: Handpan (I'll be posting about it)

  • That first sip of coffee....Ahhh...

  • Gelato

  • Our evening times enjoying movies together

  • Spending time with old and new friends

  • Walks in nature

  • Enjoying the unwavering gaze of an infant
