intuitive

This "It's Saturday" is some clean dirt!

I read while eating my oatmeal with half a banana on it--When you help others you will help yourself. That is very intuitive, very intuitive. JoeBlow, who reminds me of heat lighting, says—But most folks don’t seem to get it! When a person is intuitive, they seem to see the big picture which is also soooo dynamic. We were at an AT&T  store in Yakima and the store employee was Heather. She said she was three years out of high school (i.e. was running the whole store; she did a vey good job). She called herself a fledgling who has been an adult for two years and it sucks already. She told us that she thinks her generation isn’t into consumerism as much as previous generations. Maybe she is quite intuitive!  Could be, maybe, I don’t know! Maybe what she thinks is falsely true!

The plot of land next to Jeanne's house is a small horse pasture owned by a 92 year old woman. A neighbor, Roger, was out there with his tractor cutting the grass. There are large weeds on the property near the fence line that adjoins Jeanne's property which look really bad. We asked Roger how we could cut those weeds out--just do and don't even tell  her he said. The next day Roger cut all the weeds out and burnt them; he just did it!

One day in 1938, Douglas Corrigan presumably intended to fly his plane from New York to California. Instead of going west, he went east and landed in Dublin, Ireland. For that he earned the nickname ‘Wrong Way Corrigan.’ It appears that some folks are directionally challenged, and some are very intuitive with knowing what direction they are going and seem to always go the right direction. Saturday question—Have we ever gone the wrong way driving your vehicle or in our life? WorldClassLarry says--It has been rightly suggested that major warfare takes place “between the ears.” Our minds are something else at times; don’t kid ourselves! How can our minds think that way sometimes anyway! I have no idea! The wires must get crossed or something! And TomSmart, who is an ace in the hole, says--The control center of our life is our attitude. That could be bittersweet!

“There is a sacredness in tears. They are not a sign of weakness BUT of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief.... and unspeakable love.” ~ Washington Irving  I have to admit that I cry easily and often because of happiness or it might be because I’m just an old guy and am more emotional that I use to be!

The completion of a small project such as cleaning the yard makes me feel oh sooo good. A little goes a long way. Actually, that is in anything in life. It feels oh soooo good. Accomplishing something is a good start I seem to think; it seems to work for me anyway. BUT we gotta start; we gotta get after it. Talk is cheap isn’t it. SusieQ, who is a hot mark, says—I’m more the type of person who talks talks talks but never gets much done but I sound really good. I have noticed that the more bureaucracy (i.e. more talking and committees) the less gets done but when a person or a couple of folks get after it, it gets done while the others are still talking about it. Many times, the whole opportunity is missed because of bureaucracy, my opinion. Sooooo when is the best time to do anything—NOW! The completion feels oh soooo good! Soooo start!

Don’t be a Mount St. Helens’ Harry Truman; you remember what happened to him! A warning is cautionary advice about a danger, trap, or problem. ThePreacherMan, who would risk his life for me, says--And God sometimes brings people into our lives to warn us because we’re not listening to God’s warning. Who what me? Have we ever been warned, or have we ever been warned by someone about something? “Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.” ~ Johann Wolfgang con Goethe – 1749-1832 (i.e. Johann was my best friend in kindergarten—I’m just kidding you, I never went to kindergarten (i.e. Roseland Elementary didn't have such a thing)—how did I ever make it without kindergarten). BUT I was in the top five in my class; of course, there were only five in my class.

I read while eating my oatmeal with half a banana on it—Prosocial spending makes folks happy! Research shows that folks who spend money on others are much happier (i.e. extremely happy) compared to folks who just spend money on themselves. AllAboutMeBetty says—Yikes, I spend all my money and time on me; maybe that is why I’m not happy. AllAboutMeBetty, you don’t have to be intuitive to figure that out. Related to that, sociologists have found that folks who volunteer are extremely happier than those who don’t. The world doesn’t seem to preach that much. There seems to be a big red flag here folks!

I will say sometimes when folks tell me something, “well, that makes sense.” BUT I never say, well, that doesn’t make any sense although I think it doesn’t make sense to me. A friend and I were talking that there are different kinds of intelligence, we think (e.g. book intelligence compared to common sense intelligence). Soooo I checked in for my boarding passes when flying. I told our son that I only got my first boarding pass but my connecting flight boarding pass didn’t show up. He said, it did Dad; it’s an erv error. Sure enough it came but I had to side it over to see it. Da! I must lack intuition in technology or lack this type of intelligence or no intelligence at all! Could be!

I think cosplay is very interesting!  The psychologists say—"It’s a psychological transformation of dressing like a character you've adored since childhood is a motivating form of self-acceptance and self-actualization. Cosplayers say it is one reason playing with costume is fulfilling, the exploration of the identity of a fictional character.”  I find it soooo interesting to see how we dress in our normal lives; I think it tells a lot about us. CrazyMarvin, who is titled thunder, says—I can’t tell when folks are pretending, living their dream, actually showing some emotions they have, or there is something going on in their heads! We all express ourselves differently now don’t we. It’s really crazy, my opinion. Look around folks, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out! Seriously funny!

DancingMatilda at times can think differently than what she says.  Many of us are like DancingMatilda and would have to confess that we aren’t anxious about nuttin except our worries. Or as Oscar Wilde quipped, “I can resist anything except temptation.” I wonder as I wander if I have many miracles in my life but I miss them sometimes; I think I do! Maybe I’m not always intuitive!  Could be, maybe, I don’t know. Same difference.

Many of you are very intuitive in certain areas. It could be mechanically, or seeing the future, or with technology or with some form of art or with business or writing, or understanding feelings etc. It’s quite amazing that folks are all talented differently. And it appears that we can’t make ourselves intuitive; we either got it or we don’t; we can’t read how to get it in a self-help book. We are just blessed with it. It appears to me, if we can find where our special talent is, that is what we should pursue and use it and not waste it. I wonder as I wander if we do waste it sometimes. What do you think? That is what I wonder! “The best portion of a good man's life is his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.” ~ William Wordsworth

According to MyUncleGeorge, the statement that he would say to me almost every time he saw me when I was a lad and then as a teenager was almost intuitive to him (i.e. he really believed his statement). His chief, important statement was—erv, it’s not what you make but what you save.   The King George Trumpeter says—There are three types of folks, savers, spenders and the somewheres in the middle. King George Trumpeter says, I spend my money as fast as I can make it as I’m only going to live once; if things go bad for me the government will bail me out; just tax the folks who were savers; they got the means. It seems to work. I learned who the King George Trumpeters are while sitting on the patio the other late afternoon sipping wine. Jeanne, who is award winning, described her daffodils as not being the King George Trumpeters. Now you gardeners know what I’m talking about and the rest of you still don’t know. GeorgeTheCrook says--Success isn't about how your life looks to others. It's about how it feels to you. Such is life.

I was communicating with an acquaintance recently about a controversial issue, I reminded myself  too keep my mouth shut and change the subject. That way I will not hurt our relationship. I learned that from an intuitive friend years ago (i.e. he won’t discuss an issue if we disagree with it because, as he says—Our relationship is toooo important to have it dissipate or lessen because sharing my opinion over something that isn’t very important or has no sure answer. Makes sense to me. ItchieBitchie says—Besides being intuitive it's wisdom!

Many of you have read about when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor that the contingencies of Japanese folks in the U.S. were told that in 10 days they would be taken to holding areas in certain states. They were taken away from their communities, had to leave all their possessions and leave their businesses. That happened to a group in an area near Yakima who were part of the community. Many of the locals kept their possessions, both personal and real assets, and even kept their business operating until they would get back, but not knowing if they ever would or what the future held. I think that was very admirable of these folks. Well, many did come back after the war and the locals got them started again with some of their past possessions and support. Very kind. The Japanese contingencies and their friends each year have a sukiyaki dinner to raise money for their temple and also as a reminder. It is well supported by a wide range of folks. We were invited by friends to go and felt a unique spirit within the crowd and the group putting the dinner on. It was touching (i.e. very hard to explain). It was a great experience for us, and I think for many. We sensed a.k.a.an intuition, an unspoken and unwritten feeling that was an undercurrent. Ya couldn’t experience this in Butler County IA let me tell ya! FYI I didn’t use the chopsticks!

While hiking alone together in Waterworks Canyon of Mt Clemons, I found an nonindigenous gold nugget amongst the indigenous basalt rocks up 're in 'em mountains!

Have a FUN day my friends unless you have other plans. (-:
