No Exit- Real Life

Posted by Bruce - in Blog - No Comments

For those who’ve lived through the “fight life” the fact of G-D is just a fact. For, suddenly out of the blue the one who has put up their fist (figuratively I hope) suddenly brings them down to make peace. Yet just a moment before you feel there is no way this ship can keep sailing without sinking further into the abyss. G-D can find a way to suddenly divert the pain and anger of a fight into a whole new storm or even bouts of pure sunlight. In the end, many a fight ends with the help of a divine referee.  Thank G-D.

Political Move

Posted by Bruce - in Uncategorized - No Comments

I allowed the opponent to make the 1st move in the political game without a counter-offensive and in so doing lost a golden opportunity. The truth is when having a political discussion it is key to attack early with your strongest offensive moves this way your opponent will lose focus on the plans they had set for the game. Yet understanding the moves your opponent can make still allows you to set the trap for a win. Once the opponent throws over the board (anger or name calling) you can be declared the winner.  For political discussions are not only about the facts but how the game is to be played.

Three Dogs, Sleep & Melatonin

Posted by Bruce - in Blog - No Comments

With this new addition to my dog farm, Melatonin is the only thing keeping me sane. In between the whining, barking, and yelping I need a few hours of sleep and Melatonin allows me to not get ugly.  Counting sheep doesn’t work when they’re are real sound effects in between.  The little gummy does though and now I’m productive enough to deal with the world ahead even if it has got a whole lot more crowded.

FOOTNOTE- A dog farm is any household with more than 2 dogs in it especially if one is a puppy.

Precisely Imprecise

Posted by Bruce - in Blog - No Comments

To avoid this (above)  I’m precisely imprecise. For when you believe something I know I must go along with your feelings even if it is the tooth fairy. There is no arguing with your emotions unless I really want to argue. I can’t win and sometimes a draw is just fine with me as long as the yelling and bitter terms end.  It’s not that I’ll say you are right just that I understand how it makes you feel … well sorta. I guess in the end being precisely imprecise saves the peace even if it still confuses one’s mind.

Rosh Hashanah- In 4 Words

Posted by Bruce - in Uncategorized - No Comments

For those that live in the twitter world. Rosh Hashanah is “I’m sorry pass it on”.   Of course, that sorry must come from the heart, mind, and soul. It must be the type of sorry that attempts to lead someone down a different path that is closer to G-D and must be reciprocal to the world.  In other words, if one wants to be forgiven for their mistakes known and unknown they must be willing to forgive others and move forward. Therefore these 4 words take a whole lot more effort than just saying them in the 1st place. L’Shana Tova may you be inscribed in a year of health, happiness, success, peace and love

Rosh Hashanah/ Yom Kippur-Cliff Notes

Posted by Bruce - in Blog - No Comments

Maybe G-D expects more from us but with fewer words so let me summarize the holiday just in case.   “We’re sorry, especially the one in my mirror for all the mistakes we’ve made whether they be open or one with the door partially closed.  We not only ask for you to forgive our mistakes but all your children those just starting out to those who appear closer to the gate . We pledge to try and be a better person and will fast in some way to make amends. So that in the end you can extend our end for the year to come and bring, happiness, health, success and love to the world. AMEN!

FOOTNOTE- In case the synopsis isn’t enough I plan to be in Shul for the longer version.

CUTE & Annoying

Posted by Bruce - in Uncategorized - No Comments

I’m CUTE and maybe a little annoying. Let’s face it you can’t resist this face even if it won’t stop barking. I have the looks that kill for your stress level goes up a bit more wondering whether you’ll catch me on time or I’ll leave you a little surprise. Yet in the end, though I can annoy you hear or there CUTE is the one you’ll keep.

Feet Freedom

Posted by Bruce - in Blog - No Comments

 

I love to feel things from the opposite side of my body usually. Walking barefoot allows me to absorb the world beneath my toes whether it be a soft rug, a nice heated matt, or light raindrops on my deck. I can tell you sometimes that walk isn’t so comforting though as sharp and/or mushy substances I’d rather not touch hit these bottoms.  Yet in the end opening your world to such a touch can be comforting and put you in a whole different realm of existence from the bottom up.

Missed Sunlight

Posted by Bruce - in Blog - No Comments

I just realized I missed the sunlight! My mind was filled with such darkness that I felt the clouds were continually over my head even as the sun pierced through. So many moments I’ve missed by having episodes of rage, hopelessness, and loneliness that have filled my skies in my mind.  Specks of sunlight passed through as therapy and treatment enabled me to see clearly but not enough to know that it was actually working. I wish I had listed to loved ones who had stood in the sunlight my mind covered for years previously but now I have and boy is the light brighter than ever.

FOOTNOTE- Time doesn’t stand still ones treatment should move forward as well.

Confusion

Posted by Bruce - in Uncategorized - No Comments

 
I’m so confused. I don’t know why you take me out for so many walks and then get mad when I do my business on a different source.  I really don’t understand what you’re saying for your language is very different than bark except that you get mad when I speak too much. I’m just lost as I think you are well at least we both have that in common and also we’re both trying to figure each other out yet are so   confused?
