The Ride's Getting Less Bumpy

This week started off as a real disaster. I felt like I was in crisis in every aspect of my life. That's not a quality feeling, nor one that helps your growth as a person. Today was a great example of how when I apply my best efforts in all my endeavors, the spectre of doom is lifted and I can start to actually see solutions.

Fall into Spring

I had a really amazing day today. It was one of those Sundays where nothing seemed rushed, yet I got a lot accomplished and was able to enjoy myself all at the same time. The first of two highlight events for the day was bringing the dogs to Petropolis, where they had their picture taken with Santa. This might sound insane to those people who don’t have dogs, but when your dogs are your kids, it makes perfect sense. The second highlight was walking through Battery Park and photographing the changing leaves and catching an exquisite sunset. All of this was made only better by a 65 degree sunny day in November!

The Secret

So I battle with this concept of the Law of Attraction. It tells you to Believe and most importantly "Act as if", so that you put out the signals to the Universe to attract what it is you want. I can see how Smiles beget smiles and courtesy begets courtesy etc, but it also begs you to behave this way with money, material desires and stature. In these areas it almost seems a little dangerous. Behaving like you have a lot of money when you don't just because you expect it, can get one into a lot of trouble. On the other hand, if you never try, you'll never know.

Fall Back

Well, today was the first work day post having to turn our clocks back. It's no surprise to me that of all the watches and clocks etc that I reset, the one I missed was my alarm clock. Isn't that just my crummy luck. Way to start off the week Mark!

Halloween 2009 

Never made my way to the Village Parade this year, but caught most of it on tv. The Weather was kind of crummy and I was on day two of celebrating the venerable All Hallows Eve, so a nice dinner and catching the end of the Yanks game was more then enough for me. 
