Whap A Cat!
We have two cats. The first and older cat is a treasure. Always purrs, no matter what. Sweetheat loves this cat and plays with him by hitting him playfully off the top of the sofa again and again. The cat loves it.
The younger cat sees Daniel being hit off the couch and gets up to have Sweetheart hit him off too. He does and he likes it kinda...Daniel loves it. So my husband and this cat do this everyday often.
My husband ordered some foam tubing for a project and tape it together. Now when Daniel is on the couch Sweetheart whaps him with the foam tubing, he loves this even more. So for the next trick he taps the foam on different surfaces such as a desk, a table, the couch first and Daniel jumps over there to be whapped again and gets up to do it again and again.
The other cat Moke Moke doesn't like the whapping sound and runs to hide. Daniel we think doesn't mind because he is deaf. Anyway whapping is reserved for Daniel now. Moke Moke is too scared.
Sweetheart nas his cat, he loves that cat and Daniel loves him. Daniel is old but he acts like a young cat when he gets whapped. Go figure...
Thankful for my cats and my honey. Life is good.

We Purchase Equipment According to Our Age
Exercise equipment is so subjective to your age. When you are young you think, "Oh Yeah, treadmills, weights, elliptical, Nordic track, yes let's do this." Or you may even a join a gym that cost you a year membership only to find out 4 months later, you don't go enough and now you can't get out of your membership easily. Life gets in the way.
Work, meetings, clients, overtime, social life, obligations to work, time with significant other, family, children and their activities, last thing on the list is exercise for yourself, that can wait. The thing is exercise can be put on the back burner for....ever and then age creeps up on you, children are gone on their own and you have time for you. But now, the equipment you bought when you were young, you can no longer climb on or use. Now what?
We have a full gym for the younger crowd but I had to start over. I bought another machine to help me with squats. That's right, I can't do squats without losing my balance and falling over, at my age that will ever do, I could break something! This machine feels great! At first I could hardly do 10 but after a month of daily tries I did 50 at once! The goal is to do 100 every day for 6 weeks to see greater abdominal strength and to build arm muscle. In time I will be able to use the entire gym equipment in the basement.
What I have learned about life, body, and exercise. Find time to do it everyday. If you work 20 hours in a day, don't go to bed till you do 30 minutes of high energy cardio. If you can't get a babysitter, if you are a parent, get equipment for the home and never stop daily exercise. You will feel better, have more energy and your body will not have to go through what I am going through, starting out so slow you may wonder what is the use? The use is I'm getting older and the body ain't getting younger, if I want to keep moving till I die, I need to keep moving with exercise. So on I go to 100 squats and beyond.
My knees are thanking me now, you're welcome body! 😅

The Fourth of July and The Constitution Remind Me Of Individual Opportunity
Civics is no longer taught in US schools. This one topic would be helpful for all living in this country and those coming to this country. Too many younger people are not aware of the great minds that studied the world governments at the time it was written with a focus on a guarantee for individual freedom to create this US Constitution. Logic, reason, love for individual freedom for all legal citizens designed this Constitution. It is meant to keep individuals free and give individuals opportunities like no other found in the world at the time or before. Younger generations take this Constitution and their individual freedom for granted. They certainly don't study it to see the greatness of it, if anything they are taught in college now to deconstruct it for flaws by angry professors. These professors are there to further their own agenda more than teach.
College is not necessary for every individual success anymore. Many are figuring a way to be successful without it, thanks to the internet. You can take college courses online now from the comfort of your home. Many courses are free, for those that cannot afford college. Let's face it we need the knowledge and confidence, not the diploma to put knowledge in action, unless we are going into the medical field.
Let's keep the Constitution in tact, study it and see why it is the greatest document for a basic foundation of a government and anyone's individual freedom that comes here legally. Amendments can be added as needed but I wonder now...
Would the founding fathers even recognize what the career politicians have made law for them and their personal family greed today? This government since 1776 has made many mistakes in dealing with people indigenous here and other places. We, the people us, were not in charge to make some heinous decisions that has caused damage to other countries but we must remember... when other countries are in trouble because of a dictator or tyrant, they call on the US to rescue them. Why? Because we have more of everything, why? Because the Constitution made it available to us!
We need elected officials that are awake and conscious! Elected officials need to study Eckhart Tolle and Byron Katie Mitchell's www.thework.com to get back to human truth. When they begin to awake, then and only then will they begin to make governing decisions from an awakened state of mind that leads to world peace. In time the rest of the world's governing rulers will begin to awake. Then we can really know world peace is coming. Until then, "If peace is to be, it begins with me."
Intellectuals with college and law degrees, making deals to get money to sell their seat in the government to these donors, is not what the founding fathers had in mind when they made the Constitution. These politicians are clever but not wise, their education is simply not enough, Personal behaviors of politicians home life is proof they are insane, civilians see this and wonder how did they get elected? And how are they staying in office? Politicians know how to campaign to get elected, it is a game to them. Once elected the majority of career politicians help themselves to taxpayers' money and their luxurious lifestyle, private personal investments, their personal family profits first, it is their unenlightened human behavior, greed.
Read A Common Struggle by Ted Kennedy's son, Patrick Kennedy. He reveals the insides of campaigning to get elected to have a paycheck coming in while each "finds" what else they really want to do. Really to have a paycheck coming in?
These career politicians need to go, serving the people might have got them there first term but they no longer focus on the people, their focus now is their personal family and luxurious lifestyle, in other words, personal greed with taxpayers money. They will lie to the American people to get reelected. Look and listen to campaigning politicians, see what is promised and see what they deliver once elected. Everyone of them, after elected, say they could not get their campaign promises into laws because of the red tape they had to go through to do it. I thank God for the red tape, all the campaign promises are not good for all the people but you can bet them being elected to office will serve them financially personally and their family the rest of their lives.
Founding fathers meant for politicians to serve the elected term and go home. Back to civilian life and serve in their own communities as civilized examples of conduct. This government is meant to have new representatives every decade or so to keep ideas of the "Royal American Citizens" the people moving forward.
Most government officials today are stale and greedy. Our Constitution is still a governing document like no other in the world and is the reason so many want to come here to this free country of individual opportunity. The USA Constitution insures this including legal citizens owning guns to keep government in line. The laws are to first protect individual legal citizens that live here and then extend to people that want to become American citizens. Without law and order this nation will not survive.
To control a people you must control the mind of the people. To do this you must be controlled through getting you to focus on their narrative. How to get you to believe the lie? Social media. If you have not gone to the actual area, if you do not meet the actual people, and you do not understand law, you will swallow whatever social media tells you to believe. If you do not understand that every successful outcome has to have laws to abide by, you will run on emotions as if this is all that matters. It is not, emotions alone, will create chaos. If laws need to be amended it needs to be done peacefully through legal means. Any other way is destructive and hurtful to people. The thermometer to measure a to call to action should never include any action that causes you to break the law in this peaceful country. Our laws today are for orderly conduct and then take a grievance to court. That is the way in this country, civil disobedience.
Thankful to be here now, thankful we have a chance to maintain this freedom, hopefully younger minds will wake up, become enlightened by their own study of Eckhart Tolle, Byron Katie Mitchell, and others like them before serving in the government. I actually think they will, this next generation are more socially and economically aware of the world and the needs of the same, than generations before They are pretty amazing, they will make really good politicians, I hope they serve and go home, let others keep us moving forward.
Happy Fourth of July to us all.

Water, Water, Water, Water, Water!
Drink lots of it everyday. Your body is made up of a lot of water. The body needs another supply everyday. Wake up with a minor stiff neck? Try drinking 16 oz. of water and see if your neck feels better in a few minutes.
According to H.H. Mitchell, Journal of Biological Chemistry 158, the brain and heart are composed of 73% water, and the lungs are about 83% water.Dec 2, 2016
***This means water, not tea, not soda, not energy drinks, pure filtered water. Basic but needed.

Dodging the Bullet
Another young woman I met today was visiting Lake George with her Aunt, who just happens to be from my home state of North Carolina. And the Aunt just happens to be writing a book like Moi. What a great group of women to meet tonight as we ate dinner at the same restaurant. Sweetheart waited patiently as we chatted after dinner, he is use to me striking up conversations with complete strangers lo these many 40+ years. I love people and their stories and in particular I have been promoting education and women my entire adult life especially when I see a young woman. So many young women do not know the dangers of this world and some of the men in it.
Men are absolutely wonderful once you know what you are dealing with and how to spot the predators, something none of us are taught unless we have a very modern and experienced woman in our life, something I did not have. My father taught me the most about men but I fear a little too late. So now I warn young women to hopefully help them become independent and brave through education and listening to the wiser elder women of her tribe. Formal education is a must for most of us but not always available to us all.
One key element I advise any young person is to NOT be in a hurry to find a mate. Learn to be alone with yourself and be happy, be brave, be wise. Then after establishing your direction and finances, around 30 years old, now you may consider someone your equal in kindness and independence that respects you until then steer clear of a partner. If you don't know what you don't want in a partner, you surely will not know what you do want. Wait, slow down, plenty of time to spend the rest of your life with a compatible partner that you will "know" when the time is right. Until then stay out of all "love" relationships, you don't want to end up barefoot and pregnant or heart broken with no partner to help you raise the child if you don't have to. This has made many a woman and man bitter. That is a road that is not easily remedied.
The young woman was in tenth grade and just broke up with a boyfriend, thank God, she just dodged that bullet! Now on to the most fun days of every woman's life, having clean fun, getting focus and educated. Like I advise her, tell the men to get a number and go to the back of the line, she will be considering each after she has earned her Master's and established herself in lucrative employment or even more desirable a lucrative business of her own. (Freedom)
Believe me, the line will be long and the men will be there waiting no matter how long she makes them wait. Thankful to have a wonderful man in my life, thankful he is patient and kind with me, I know I can be a firecracker to live with at times, but he loves fireworks, and I love him.😉

Cake Decorating with TanNhatHuong
My newest craze is watching cakes being decorating by master decorators and artist from where else? The Eastern countries. These orientals can decorate anything and the intricacies, the patience, the fabulous artistic ability, must be genetics. Masters of their craft I never tire of watching each create colorful cotton candy to any type of dessert, focusing on cakes at present.
Thankful to see these cakes being decorated on YouTube although I have reduced my sugar intake to almost nil, it is pretty to watch. Love technology, where else would I be able to see such art created?
