Wednesday Morning Musing
Well, I can barely keep my eyes open right now, but that's what happens when the cat wakes you up at 4am. Actually, she woke me up at 2, 3 and then finally at 4 I simply got up. According to the information below, I should have beat her, but not in the face....read on, please. So, Grant Bratrud, an old grade school chum, had a very interesting YouTube video on his FB page this morning and I must admit to rarely going to YouTube unless directed to do so, but off I went utilizing the information Grant posted on FB.
The video is titled::
www.youtube.com and it was very, very scary. I found it to be especially disconcerting that a culture of people would rank their women along side their animals. In other words, animals and women are given equal status in the beating up department. So, tip number one is; never beat your animals or your woman in the face. Now, that is a great bit of useful information, don't cha think? Yikes. Is it me, or is that way of thinking just simply out of control for any culture? And yes, if this sounds judgmental it probably is. I have a very difficult time rapping my arms around a culture of people who believe that beating anything is a good idea and one that will produce useful results. Jeez. I can't even begin to fathom this type of scenario. Husband comes home, decides something isn't "right" in the house, beats his wife (but not in her face) as a way of disciplining her, and then moves right along with life. Just think of the dysfunction that leaves in its wake. And I so hate the word dysfunction because it's way too psycho-bably but that's what it is. Latent dysfunction generation after generation. Now that is truly depressing and completely upsetting. I will pray for this culture of people and that they be given a serious attitude adjustment or something that changes perspective. Yikes.
Okay, so that's was a depressing bit of information, no? Let's head in a more positive direction shall we? Yesterday I had my weekly appointment with the wonderful Dr. Wilkens, my pain specialist and my primary care doc all rolled into one. She is a marvelous doctor and part of being a good doctor is giving a patient a stern going over. So, I did get the business from Jane and am learning the difference between pain and anxiety. And I am learning how pain and anxiety feed off each other and how to better control my emotions so they don't control me. The more I am able to manage my emotions and keep them under control the more helpful I can be in controlling my pain, which is exactly what I hope to accomplish. Apparently, physical pain and emotional anxiety roll around together feeding off each other until they produce negative results. I have said before how determined I am to implement as much holistic medicine as possible into my daily host of medicines I must take. It's like a little Celebrex and a little Black Cohosh! Works for me...However, the more I am able to calm myself down without taking something, the better the holistic pain management.
I am dying to talk to my BFF, Judy, http://www.judithmccannvoiceworks.com about being my TM coach. She has been doing Transcendental Meditation for well over 20 years and I would love to learn the seven steps from her. It would be a fabulous gift to me. But, more about that later. We shall see how things shake out, but what I do know is that I will not put anything in my system that makes my emotions settle down. That's an inside job and one that I have the power to do myself in a healthy, positive way with a little extra good orderly direction (GOD) thrown in for good measure.
Life is grand.
Life is sacred. Your loved ones are sacred and they don't EVER deserve to be beaten. Period.
Life is better spent thinking positive thoughts and praying all the time for those we love and for those we don't even understand.
Have a great day!
