What does a good neighborhood mean to you?

Posted on Jan 19th, 2008 by Keith G : Changling Keith G
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 19, 2008:

Is it okay to brag?  My neighborhood is really great. It's full of friends like a mini community inside a bigger one.  We all get together for dinners and parties and send offs and "help-outs" we trade and barter give rides and swap stuff.  I guess  the people in the neighborhood that don't join in are just tooo self-centered.  Their loss?  or is it everyone's loss?

The New Frontier? or The Big Sellout?

Delete is a nice thing.

     NO REALLY I don't really think it's all about cars,  Sorry for that energy.

On the other hand.. there's this war thing going on all over the world.... at least it seem's
 that way.

People all over the planet celebrating.... something... some ritual....
some right of passage... moment in time...

FOCUS.   INTENTION.  DESIRED OUTCOME.

FOOD. WATER. SHELTER. LOVE.

Keep things simple, Celebrate the simple yet deeply meaningful moments during this.........
moment and this moment and this moment and this moment and this moooooommmen.....
ugh..what?
Ever try that  "Self-hypnosis" stuff.....kind'a works.

Got a chance to spend some time with my family during thanksgiving it was really nice to have them at my home.  BEFORE TOO MANY MORE SUBDIVISIONS AND........Land Values rise to the point where... My property taxes.. open space..  Good ole' Moab  WOOSH!!! Gone.               I can't blame people for wanting to live here that would make me some-kind of completely self-centered, selfish  ***expletive-deleted***  Republican? Media-Addict? Land Developer? Consumer.  YEA.... thats it... consumer????

   I KEITH G. AM AN AMERICAN CONSERVER AND AND...... I'M MAD AS HELL....   AND AND AND..... I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANY MORE SO.. THERE. !!!!  PUT THAT IN YOUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Short Story.

About some of my experiences,
     In 1990  I decided to move to Moab Utah and chase after my DREAM at the time "to become a Famous Artist or at least a Photographer.  At any given time in the previous decades of my life I would have laughed my ass off at the mention of such a move. 

Now Moab of 1990 and Moab of 2008... Two completely different  towns...  Two completely different "Quality of Life" experiences. You know what?   this story goes down hill from here and i don't feel like telling it right now because it's bringing me down...

The lesson?  We are told be Grateful for what you have...  Boy am i glad i live in Moab!!             it's all about Attitude.....
Time changes everything....   Nothing is static.
   
                                        I Wonder what Dr. Phill would say right now?


"I'm Voting for RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT!!!"  Well... Dr. Phill probably wouldn't say that  but  I would!!

Well I didn't get any of the things done I intended to do on line tonight......  Now what was that saying.... "Good Intentions are a poor substitute for........

KG.  Sending my intentions your way.

Well I made it thru Thanksgiving and Bracing for the "Christmas" to come,  We all need to refocus on the real meanings and embrace the real "Spirit" of the season.

Hi,


Last night the snow fell and I awoke to the wonderland that surround us all.
i'll try to post some pictures in the next day,  so you can enjoy too!!!


Today is my favorite day "Black Friday"  or  "Buy Nothing Day"

Make the move to buy nothing,  maybe cut up your credit card.
Americans are the bigest coumsumers in the world.  A world that may be dying because of the way we consume.


Think about it!!!!!!!!

Peace.

Thanks for all the fish.

Here it is another holiday, Thanksgiving.
Why do we as a people wait for the one day to give thanks? Maybe we feel guilty for all the good stuff we have.  Maybe we take this american life for granted?  Maybe we just don't take the time to look for the things to be thankfull for?  I don't know...  Here's a list of things i'm thankfull for.

My parents for all the love they continually give, not to mention all the times they helped me out of a bind.

My friends, I'm lucky to have some really loving friends.

My home

My health

My very big heart

My bike.

You.

Take the time to look  around you
you might find there's more than ever to be thankfull for.
