" Where there is an open mind, there will always be a frontier. "

What can I say, it's a rainy day and Hubby had an eye doctor appointment, which meant that his eyes were dilated and of course I had another bad night so I suggested Chinese food for dinner; thus the opening title. Actually, we ordered much less food and we still received three fortune cookies. I am not as fond of them as I was when I was a child; I think they changed the recipe and so Hubby got to eat two and I had the privilege of opening two of them giving them the opportunity to become my fortune or not. I particularly liked the first one I opened that is tonight’s title, but my second one is a little more obscure and here it is: “recognition is the greatest motivator.” It's not like I don't understand it; it's more like it could have many meanings, you know? The third one was Hubby’s and he was slightly perturbed since it wasn't really what we consider a fortune, it was more of a question and it was really weird that he got it instead of me, after you see what it was you will understand… “Q. What is K. M. S.? A. Keep Mouth Shut, the golden rule.” You see what I mean, is that what it means K. M. S., in computer speak? The golden rule, I thought was this: "do unto others that you would have them do unto you?" Could I be so wrong? I really don't think so. Any-who, the rain continues…, And bear with me I seem to be having a slight brain freeze, wouldn't you know it… I had to put my cervical collar on, since my head was hurting, so sorry. Now I am wondering if it would work like a thinking cap, nah, but it is relieving, oddly enough, my headache as it has done miraculously many times before. If I were a doctor than I would know the explanation for how this happens. My theory is that all the nerves in the body are connected and when I'm tired or move in the wrong direction I inadvertently pinch a nerve that causes the problem; but I'm no doctor. Anyway, it appears to be helping and who can argue with that? I know there was something really important that I wanted to tell you, but sadly although the pain from my head is diminishing my memory doesn't seem to be improving. Oh well, don't they say that if it's important it will come back to you? There is that ‘they’ again, as usual ‘they’ appear when you least expect it… Don't 'they'? Oh fiddly dee, what am I thinking, gosh someone tell me quick, I'm no Scarlet! Good, I have taken back my own self control... You know when I get these brain freezes I wonder if it's just my brain trying to find I higher plane for my thoughts to adjust to the next lifetime? Nah, I am not of that persuasion, but many of my thoughts are apparently. Who knows what causes what; if we were smart enough to figure that out than how would I or anyone else have this much fun trying. The ride is nearly over folks, hold on to your seats, I know it's been a bumpy ride, but isn't life itself one i.e. a bumpy-ride, oh you knew that, sorry? I am mini world, a microcosm within itself, but aren't all of us? Transcendental is a form of meditation I thought, I only wish I could be still enough to utilize it, my brain freezes aren't long enough to restrain my busy train of consciousness as most all of you know about me. I suppose in the Western culture that I live in it has served me well especially in business, but now as you all know I am retired. Oddly enough, the brain doesn't do that i.e. retire with you, wait, of course it does! Big smile here! If it didn't that would be horrible I suppose mine is just misbehaving, as so many do at this stage of life. Although, you hear of these people who are compared to a tack i.e. as sharp as a tack; now being a sharp as a tack can have its flaws too for that I more than sure, sharpness that great has to hurt someone, hmm? I know I'm pretty good in the memory department, Hubby keeps reminding me how I remember things he would prefer me to forget, but could you imagine remembering 70 or 80 or 90 decades of everything? I hear tell that there are few people in the world that have that exact recollection of dates and memories, which is amazingly! One is an American actress of quite a bit of fame, Marilu Henner from the show Taxi. I suppose being normal or average in that department is not such a bad thing. So again, I won't be complaining but I might be maintaining the need to know why. Sorry, no additional rhyming, since my timing seems to be slightly off. So as I bid you good night, a very happy one, allow me to be the first and kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages and we will too! And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?
