LOVE WORKS DAILY 04/23/07 - GOTTA KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON
 

In this month of new beginnings, and blooming
and blossoming, I wish you all the best of Love!
 
 
INSPIRATIONAL MOMENT:
(Great Thoughts By History's Inspired Thinking Men and Women)
 
If you were to choose just one part of your personality to
develop that would virtually guarantee your success, I'd
like to suggest that you place persistence at the top
 of your list.
 
-Bob Proctor

(Random Thoughts and Tim's Daily World):
 
I sure can remember vividly the day I wrote the following
Love Works from 2005.  It did not seem possible to wait another
six months!  Yes,  now we have been here almost a year...and
the time just vanished!
 
Funny how time is that way...when you are expecting something..it takes
forever....but when you are not....time flies....
 
 
 
FOOD FOR THOUGHT:
(Brand New and Classic Love Works Essays 2001-2007)
 
(From 2005)
 
Anybody remember that commercial..."Head for the mountains...
Head for Busch Beer..."?
 
Each version of the commercial had people doing stuff in
the snow and having fun...and there were those GIGANTIC beer
bottles.....
 
Well, I'm long past the draw of the giant BEER BOTTLES...
but I am hearing that "Head for the mountains...thing....over
and over..all day long...."
 
Last month, we essentially finished our mountain cabin just
north of Klamath Falls, Oregon. 
 
Last week, the first new snow fell.
 
This week,  I am really, really wanting to be there.
 
Not just visit.
 
Not just go for the weekend.
 
I wanna be there...with all my stuff...in front of the woodstove...
looking out my windows at the Ponderosa Pine that are sprinkled
on our five acres.
 
In 2006, I turn 40 years old.  And in 2006, my plan is to
comfortably semi-retire in the quiet woods next to the Winema
National Forest...and, knock on wood, spend at least the next
40 living simply and naturally and happily in the home that
I built with my own hands.
 
House and land paid for cash.  Vehicles paid for.  Successful
internet business that can be run part-time and produce plenty of
income.  Self-sufficient and eco-friendly design with Solar Power and more...
A dream come true for me....
 
This may not be your dream....
 
But is sounds pretty darn good to me...
 
And frankly, I am having a really hard time waiting.
 
Why wait, you say?
 
Well...this semi-retirement thing is a big thing....and
it makes the most sense to wait another 6 months or so...or maybe even
longer.
 
The house isn't COMPLETELY done.  As my dad always points out,  there
are lots of insulation and "little things" to do....and it
gets really cold and snowy there in the winter.  And it just doesn't
make sense to try to move during snow season.  If the house
had been done in June,  maybe we would have moved....but
done in September...by the time I get all the things done that
need to be done to move it is November, and the weather makes it a
nightmare.
 
Besides,  my family has never lived in a place that has WINTER.
And it is better to start in SPRING or SUMMER and get prepared.
I have lived in Illinois and the winters there are even worse (cold wise)
so I am prepared for it.
 
But in the Willamette Valley in Oregon it mostly rains...and rains...
and when winter comes, it gets a little colder...and it rains.
 
Plus, if we wait till Spring, we'll be even better prepared
financially.  Our oldest son could possibly finish his school year..
 
You know, lots of practical details.
 
All of them make sense.
 
But I don't wanna.
 
I wanna go.
 
I wanna live in my house on my land.
 
And I want it now.
 
But I won't. I will wait.
 
Because patience is a virtue, and it just makes sense.
 
We've waited two years so far, at this point.  And another
6-8 months won't hurt anything.
 
Can you relate?
 
When you really wanna do something...something RIGHT NOW....
 
But waiting is the right thing to do....
 
It's hard to do.
 
It's Hard to wait.
 
But waiting is what I will do.
 
Oh, guess what...??
 
It's raining.
 
But in a few short months...the sunshine is coming.....
 
And I just can't wait.
 
(Yes, I can!)
 
Nope, can't wait....
 
(waiting....waiting....waiting....)
 
Oh, and I almost forgot....
 
LOVE WORKS!!!
 
Have A Great One and may your wait be a short one!
 

Love In Thought! Love In Word! Love In Action!
 
Love To You Today!
 
 
 
"May we endeavor today to increase our understanding and appreciation of
what others have given and contributed to us. And develop constant,
mindful consideration of how our thoughts and actions will BENEFICIALLY
CONTRIBUTE to others"
 
The best to you today in discovering the answers to life's difficult
questions!
 
 
 
A Final Thought:
 
Love is always the right thing to do. Even if it isn't the easiest
thing to do.
 
May we have compassion for the struggles of others, wisdom to
acknowledge our own, and courage to address them both every day.
 
Respectfully,
Tim
