Fine, Thnaks. Yourself?

I make my share of typos. Always have. Can't see that changing.
Oh, sure, it might, but for today I'm sticking with what I just said.
Of all the finger-ups I make I'd have to say reversing the 'n' and 'a' in thanks is my top typo.
It's so common to me I don't even see it until later.
Spell Czech?
I rarely pay attention or even see it on Blogger and as for my private emails, well, the spell cheque there is set to French for hog-knows-what reason. I've tried to change it. It gives me choices of traditional or modern French.
Word has it in English. Why the emailer won't respect that I'll never know, but it doesn't. Unless my eyes actually catch the flip it goes out.
Later, I notice.

My point is I know I do it. I have tried to retrain my recalcitrant fingers. They're having none of it.

What about you? Got a finger-up that bugs you?
Comments? Concerns? Confessions?

Thnaks for reading.

Time To Wake Up

Spiritual awakening is great.
I'm all for it, but the manifestations of it can leave a lot to be desired.
Specifically No.11 on the above-linked list, the limited desire to do anything, is the one I'm struggling with right now.
Writing is how I define myself. It has been since I was five years old and put together what I knew in my heart I wanted with the word that described it.
I wrote on Monday and some yesterday, too. In fact I wrote a page before breakfast. I'm currently doing a massive rewrite of a manuscript duller than watching a TV channel with no signal.
I plug away, but the fun, the joy, the intense desire to bound out of bed and pound the keyboard is missing in action. If my desire to write were hot wax, then currently it would be long cooled into blocks.

Meditation and self-hypnosis (I am a certified transpersonal hypnotherapist. I know what to do.) helps, when I get around to doing it. This important part of my life is being held in abeyance. I choose to believe it's because I need a break.
As the link noted, one has to shut down to reboot.
A recent spirit message reminded me to go with the universal flow. That is, whatever's going on I should simply accept it for what it is and enjoy it as much as I can.
I try.  It is frustrating to know what I should do and what I want to do, and yet have no compelling desire to do it.

Certain of the ascension symptoms are happening concurrently. Again, this is great because I know it's going to end well.

Eleven years ago I quit my paid employment to write books.
I have done that.
I should have noted when I put it out to the Universe that I was quitting to write books to be commercially published and physically available on bookstore shelves.
Sign No. 9 of the second link talks about quicker manifestations.
Good.
How about it Universe?
I'm waking up. I'll be done with all these frustrating symptoms soon.
I put it out to You about commercial publication of my manuscripts, and thanks for all you do.

So tell me readers, what about you? Got the symptoms? How's it going?
Or is this the first you've heard of it?

The Other September 11

September 11 was a day of infamy long before the towers fell.

Read about it here,  and here where the US is thrilled with the work done by Augusto Pinochet.

That said, my sympathies to all who lost family and friends on this day.

Gratitude Monday -- Mountain Man Edition

The mountains offer many stunning sights and I am grateful for all of them.
Today I am grateful to have seen The Old Man of the Mountain.
We were out camping on the September long weekend and came upon him during a hike.
We'd camped virtually underneath him during the August long weekend, but I didn't notice due to the angle, and to not knowing he was there. A friend pointed it out after I posted a photo on Facebook that featured the fellow.
I confess I have no idea if I used to know he was there and forgot or simply never knew.
Now I've seen him. Now I know he is there, waiting patiently for who knows what? and I am grateful.

Photo-Finish Friday -- Athabasca Glacier

Athabasca Glacier, Columbia Icefields

Walking up the hill toward the it last Saturday. The glacier is at the bottom of the other side of this hill.

The glacier started here 30 years ago. Photos two and three by Mike Mayrl.

This photo I took in June shows the hill I climbed and the glacier behind it. The snow on the hill is seasonal as opposed to glacial.

The hill was part of the glacier in 1976.

Please note the vehicles and lake at the bottom of the hill in the second photo. Compare with the lake and vehicles at the toe of the glacier in the bottom photo I took 36 years ago.
When you enlarge the top photo you'll see the chalet and the Jasper -Banff Highway. In 1908 the glacier was nearly at the highway.
It's going fast.
I hope all who want to see it get to see it.

Photo-Finish Friday --Remembrance of Springs Past

Crabapple blossoms to brighten up the end of summer.

Gratitude Monday --Still Here to Enjoy It

Still here casting my reflection on the world.

It's good to bring things down to their most basic level at times.
This week I note  as the summer winds down  I am here to enjoy it.
I have good health, good people in my life, and a good life.
For that I am grateful.
