    I write this blog. It does not represent anyone else's opinions or perspectives. Regardless of employers or clients or any other associations, this is my blog and it does not speak for anyone else. I have learned that perception is more powerful than reality. So, we get to experience the joys of claiming and disclaiming. Isn't that super!

Deciding to be happy is vital.

Once again, from some communications this morning, I’m happy to learn of situations in my life, and in the lives of other people, where deciding to be happy is vital. I wrote a little bit about it with my “tethering molasses” post. (Read past the first couple paragraphs to see what that post [...]

Outa this world!

Learning to Change-Changing to Learn

Learning to Change-Changing to Learn

Notice my URL… now.
I found this video via this post.
It’s particularly interesting to me because I just had a discussion with a good friend.  That discussion was directly about this topic and how we have different viewpoints and different aspects of this topic in our lives.
I’m listening.
I’m [...]

tethering molasses

Right now my AT&T Tilt is tethered to my MacBook Air via Bluetooth.  My phone recognizes the 3G network and has full signal strength.  It’s just not fast.  It should be.  Apparently following all of the recommended settings doesn’t work very well.  I’ve tried all sorts of stuff.  It worked better when I tried doing this [...]

write a book
lose 30 pounds
go to hawaii
simplify material possessions
move to midwest

Those are not prioritized.  The list is limited to 5.  More would overwhelm me.  Fewer would not challenge me.  I can do it.  I will do it.  I will do it by August 31, 2008.  ~T. W. Getsch ~Saturday, May 24th, 2008

mini funk

So, I’m in Minnesota.  I surprised my mom for Mother’s Day.  I had my knee surgery.  Physical Therapy is going great.  I’ve spent good time with most friends and family that are around.  But, I’m in this mini funk.  Why?
I think it’s because I’ve been so geared up to GO, GO, GO for so long. [...]

PC plus Mac

I got a new MacBook Air this month.  I find it worthy to note that I did not “switch” to Mac.  I added a Mac, as in PC plus Mac.  There are a number of things that work better on each.  There are a number of things that are worse on each.  As I do [...]

knee surgery update

For anyone interested or following, I had my 5th, left knee arthroscopy today.  It’s been about 7 or so years since the last one.  There was/is a lot of arthritis this time.  It should be a good recovery.  It’s been the best exit from surgery I’ve experienced so far.  Medicine is working fine, and I’m [...]

laugh, think, cry

“To me, there are three things we all should do every day. We should do this every day of our lives. Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. And number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be [...]

Oh, so fitting!
