The prettiest part of our beautiful mind is its ability to change course midstream.
So after being bombarded by emails that basically say, "WTF does your blog have to do with coping with economic issues,I am am finally changing. Despite explaining myself more than once, I give! UNCLE!
As of next Monday, the name of my blog will be the name of a column I wrote years ago for a local newspapaer--MINDLY MATTERS.
You can still reach here via copewiththeeconomy.com but the new title is more relevant. Thanks to those of you who kept pushing me in this direction.
Bye For Now,

TO START AGAIN
It's never to late to:
START AGAIN
Look at nature.
Nothing stays the same.
Why should you?
Use change wisely.
Like a sporting champion,change a losing game.
Keep the things that matter.
Lose the things that don't.
Set some goals.
Start afresh.

THE EVOLUTION OF PERSEVERANCE
That which we pursue changes over time. I clearly remember persevering with my spelling lists in elementary school as well as my multiplication tables. Truth be known I never persevered when it came to geography or geometry. As for penmanship- faggetaboutit! Sometimes perseverance can be selective. As we get older the less we can afford those degrees of freedom.
Clearly, that which we pursue with vigor and persistence changes as we go along. It is amazing how fast we go from our spelling lists to our kids to our grand kids. School, which can feel so daunting as we go, can feel like life-lite as we look over our shoulder and compare it to our adult responsibilities.
Yet, I believe there is a common theme. The origins are laid down early in our lives, but keep coming at us in one form or another. Our goals are to survive in a prideful way, trying to accomplish enough to sustain ourselves. Survival of the fittest applies as much to spelling tests as to work demands as to family/relationship demands. Life hurls obstacles at us and the old game of dodge ball keeps us on our toes. The balls keep changing, but avoiding getting hit remains the goal.
Even as older people we need to persevere or we won't become even older.Just ask my Mom. She is 98+ and has been persevering all her life. Her claim to fame is that she bounces back. That's perseverance in action. Take a lesson from her playbook. NEVER, NEVER NEVER GIVE UP--No Matter what! She would say, "Go slow,but go slowly forward."

TIME OUT FOR TRANQUILITY
Friday night or maybe it was Thursday, the Yahoo system was down and I couldn't check my email. I said, "YAHOO!"
Every once in a while we need a break from the routine. Recently, I have been on a kick to not be a ROBOT and unlike Sarah P, just go with the flow. Perhaps I'd rather be a dead fish( her words) than a ROBOT! Actually, I'd rather be an alive fish who is just trying to swim a different, more sensible route. Wish I could say the same about her.
More about that Thursday in The Governor's Balls, Part II.
