Bmindful Version of Twitter * ~ *

‘Bmindful version of twitter(:How are you? What are you doing and/or thinking today? ‘
This has been edited since I first began this thread. I originally stated:

I am thinking I am going to like this thread(: I really don’t know much about Twitter and at first couldn’t understand the novelty. I opened a link to someones at Twitter, and saw how it could be something creative to do.

For myself, it would keep it simple to begin a thread that might offer something similar. Just a thought(:

Since the conception of this thread I did begin Twitter..and I never really made it a very regular thing. Bmindful won out. So what are you doing/feeling? ..and you don’t have to worry about the number of characters here (smiles)

Great idea for a thread!

I’m thinking that I really should have made an effort to go climbing over the holidays, because I’d be lucky to be half as strong as I was a month ago. Climbing today was HARD! Good fun though :)

Hey Freygan, we’re not far from Alexandria!

I haven’t had spirulina in years!

meditatingmama, I prefer the cold :P You can usually warm up, but unless you have air con (and we don’t!) there’s no way out of this heat!

How interesting …. what are you doing or thinking today? Well I’m working with people; live in a spiritual chat room of which I am the Chief Admin …. so I’m surrounded with love! Collective conciousness is such a wonderful and powerful tool … when we all come together and think the same thought at the same time …. this can change the world! ONE GIANT THOUGHT! I’m thinking that it’s wonderful how we can give each other so much love without having never met!

With so much love, light and protection,:)

P.S. I haven’t seen spirulina in years either Lee … however saw an interesting documentary on how they make it just the other day! lol :)

I’m doing a uni assignment and wondering what to have for tea tonight. Dinner last night was so good – Balsamic steak on cannelini bean garlic mash with tomato salsa & brocollini – I rarely cook steak and it made my husband happy, the man likes his meat.
I suggested lentil burgers tonight and he looked a little let down…

Ive just been for long walk with my daughter through various roads and lanes in and around the town we live in and the nearby village. We are going to feed ducks this afternoon in an area called the basins, which looks much nicer than it sounds.

enjoy life!

The family & I spent the day sledding. Don’t know who had more fun…the kids or the dog. The temperature is warming up, so I bet the snow will be gone tomorrow. Glad we did it today. Hubby & I are trying to spend lots of quality time with the kids that doesn’t cost money. We’re trying to instill the love of nature and keeping commercialism out of their little worlds.

Today is a great day for me! I have made more bracelets today so I’ve really accomplished something and am very proud of myself! And we’re having a heatwave here, it’s going to be 20 degrees, Much better than the high of 4 degrees last week!

I am thinking that today went extremely well and I am so happy with myself, the food I prepared for my family turned out a treat, they all ate it up and are all fill to the brim. Now I pray the youngings all go to bed without any trouble.

Sending much love and light to my family. I bless you with love xxxooxxx

Ive been to work today for 1 and a half hours. It took me twice as long as usual because its snowing here in the uk. All the schools are off, roads virtually impassable so home now with hubby and daughter. We`ve not had snow like this for years

enjoy life!

I am thinking of what a beautiful day it is today here in New Zealand, sun is out, the wind is breezy, nice day to be potting around in the garden.

I’ve been wondering how my bmindful friends in Australia are doing. I have been taking a “News Fast” and only briefly heard on the radio that there are killer fires there. Since I do not have the entire story, I am hoping all are well. I know it has been frightfully hot there this season. I’m sending positive thoughts to all those affected.

I am so saddened and tears well up in my eyes every time I hear the news of updates. I have been praying for heavy rains.

I am totally in shock and angry that people could be so callous to have done this, set fires, knowing the fall extent of damage their actions would inflict, they are really sick. So many peoples lives have changed all cause of murderous arsonists.

So many lives have been lost and still more to be accounted which we dont know of until the fires are out. It is said that the fires could last a month. My sister, brother-in-law and their children are all ready packed if they need to leave their home. We have 100 of our firefighters arriving to Australia in the next couple of days to help. Im lost for words now.

n response to news about fires. The devastation is terrible, lives and homes lost. I was concerned that on Saturday my tomatoes boiled on the vine and my clothes had to be rewashed because of the smoke, then I found out about everyone else and my problems seemed quite small by comparison. I had a fire about half a kilometer away from me one way and about two kilometers the other and there was smoke everywhere. I can still smell it when I go outside. It seemed from the map shown on the news, that all of Vic was burning. I have volunteered to help and am waiting for instructions as to where they want me. I just feel a need to be actively involved in doing something, anything. It will take years for people to recover from this and there are some things that can’t be replaced. So sad.

I just did two massages, with a colleague, two couples. That is a big deal in celebration of St. Valentine’s Day. Two very nice couples. Now I am getting ready for bed. Tomorrow is a big day, it’s my 40th Wedding Anniversary. I was actually married twice, once on the 14th and then again on the 15th, both in 1969 so it’s 40 years now. I think it’ll be Sunday when we actually celebrate! Any ideas on how to spend your 40th anniversary?

I just got home from the gym. I was there for more than 2 hours! Yay me!
I also handled today’s financial frog and assisted a young man with a big career-dream-frog. That made the rest of what I did for myself feel complete (smiles).

The tv was on in the gym, I saw a show on the recession and today’s homelessness. I felt more grateful for everything I am, have and do. It motivated me to pay attention to detail, in my quest to continously move forward.

I’m gagging on a gigantic frog… my 2008 taxes due in fifteen days… I haven’t started yet. I don’t want to work on them at all (truthfully). Need motivation!! Mas mas motivation!!

I am living in many dimensions at once; the appearance of being trapped in time and space is only an illusion.

In response to meditatingmama’s post:
Suggestion: When I have a frog I cannot or don’t want to get started on, I make what I call a Dummy List. Not calling either of us dummies(:

I call it that because even though I don’t begin right away, I can start in my minds eye, and feel great at the same time.

I get comfortable, and make a list that (almost) even a child can follow;therefore no part of the goal-tasks can be left out, no matter how obvious.

When you’re done with the list, you will be relaxed andd motivated . By doing the list you feel like you’re actively doing the task, so less peturbed at your self. Then take the dummy list and do 1 teeny aspect of it at a time, until your “skating with it”.

Go for it!

My eyes are so tired, I’ve been doing assignments for days and I feel wretched. Success – handed one in today – that felt good (but so does many many othe things that aren’t quite so painful). I want to read MCM’s recent LONG post but can’t keep my eyes open. I’m going to yoga now, first time in a while, and hope they wake me up at the end of the class if I fall asleep.

I am so grateful for our glorous fire blazing that is keeping me and my family warm and cosy. We have been lapping every minute of it! I love my nights to myself when my family are in bed, for its my time for snuggling up close next to the fire with a book and listening to relaxing music.

Everything is truly good in my world and I have been sharing lots on bmindful….. but over the past two weeks I have had little connection with anyone – no replies, no thankyou’s etc Feeling as if I must be sharing total rubbish or that my good wishes are not being noticed. New people coming in are perhaps more interesting….? I dunno. Well I know I didnt affirm to become resentful – whats going on I wonder? I am sorry if I have offended anyone. Need to go work on my self esteem I think..

In response to anoushka_f’s post:

First off, glad everything is truly good in your world! That’s important and wonderful (smiles).

While, it’s often very enjoyable to hang out on Bmindful, I came to bmindful to be able to focus on areas of importance to move forward at this stage in life. And it has done just that. The con to that, is I spend less time with the friends I’ve made here (like yourself) on the this forum, keeping up with everyones posts (ideas, happenings and feelings).

For myself, life is good but also hectic. Weird combo, huh? I have some huge areas that need my focus in a detailed way. If I don’t, I won’t have such wonderful things to report(: To keep my energy at a good place, and avoid burnt-out, I have areas I need to handle 1st. When I find myself here hanging out longer, because of so many threads, so little time type-feeling, I am then out of sorts for my day.

Know that your posts are being read, maybe not right after you write them, and maybe w/o written recognition, though you always offer valuable info. I don’t think it is a self-esteem thing as much as change. We all like to hear great upbeat responses.

Let me tell you my take on what you might be experiencing. Bmindful is growing, and since it is and this site is actually a tool for growth, people might be getting busier. And with so many threads, and new people asking questions, and having a possible need-> maybe the energy and time spent speaking to regulars is less.

My suggestion, when you feel that happening, is use the email feature to communicate with those you feel a connection with, or email those you’d like to hear from (regular or new).I try to take a few extra moments after responding and starting threads, to email. I even email when I’ve started a new thread to let people know it exists and I’d like them to join me there.

I am totally astonished at my new love for life and everything in it. Yeah, sure I’m still in the same job, not earning huge amounts of money or anything, but you know whats changed – my attitude….which is totally one of gratitude. As I know I keep harping on about. I am so grateful not to be imprisoned by the illness of ‘lack’ and stagnation. I feel great in the present and I am no longer stagnant….‘I just keep on keeping on’! and its manifested great rewards. I am contemplating a new thread too – but dont want to bore others with my belief and enthusiasm for gratitude again. Got any ideas? Love and blessings to you.
A ;o)

A full and thankful heart..

Have you ever seen this thread?

New threads are great, though I’ve been trying to use older threads that never got too much use. It sometimes seems a shame to have not filled them up, when they say what we want. And even when they aren’t exact, many times they can still be used if it isn’t really off the subject.
Though if you’re looking for new, and your asking me, I like:
“Lowering Your Expectations and Loving Life”,that would be an eye catcher.

Often it is believed we have to keep raising the bar of what we want from ourselves, others, and our life. And it’s true, we need to keep growing, and believing in the best->though there is a danger here when things are not done in a healthy order.

Once you love life 1st, and expect less from it, you then tend to receive the gifts. When it starts from expectations and lack of understanding and/or gratitude from what preceeded all the expectations in self, other people, places and things->then the flow seems disturbed.

So how does one love life 1st and others in it? By understanding it’s all as good as it is by some wonderful powerful beautiful answered prayer that we didn’t even ask for, that we often take for granted.

Think about any moment in your life that you your health was not up to par. And then remember the moment you recovered. Think about a moment you felt alone. Think about the moment, you realized you never really were.
Think about the moment you thought you’d never get over a particular loss, and time and other factors got you through that too.

So when we have that powerful appreciation, all else is a piece of cake. Sometimes that cake needs a little (or big) something LOL. That’s where to do lists and affirmations come in.

That’s my take on what you’re saying; when you’re grateful for all of what’s really important all else is a piece of cake.

In response to laurie’s post:
HMMMM! Now thats got me thinking. I’m not sure if ‘lowering expectations’ is good though – or do I….? I have some pondering to do.
I believe that you must always have great expectations but not to the extent that you would become resentful or negative if you didnt achieve them. I think its important to appreciate and be happy in the moment, whilst affirming and believing that there are greater miracles to come. Like attracting like, the law of attraction, letting the universe know you love this moment and you are open to recieve more….Does that make sense? Always believing in greater dreams – but not because you are unhappy with your present situation.

I used the words lowering expectations for a thread suggestion, to draw attention, because most on this site would never want to lower their expectations in the literal sense. We know we can usually get what we think about. Though, I included an order of things, to first be grateful for the miraculous life you have this very moment, and then life just gets better. I started a thread about perspective (Good things to ask or say to yourself). In that thread
, I say I ask myself -“what’s great about it?” whatever I am experiencing and working on, and the good becomes so clear, that I find my original expectation, of what I thought I wanted is lessened;hence, lowered my expectations.

Happiness is a product of accepting that life isn’t just giving us lemons to make lemon-aid; it’s giving us all the ingredients we need, if we just open the cupboard, and after appreciating our vast inventory, we then know what we need, and when the opportunity arises we will know what to do.
At least that’s my take(:

I’ve been away a bit from BMindful, and a quick look through the interesting threads before I switch off again. I have my last exam in 3 days and have to learn alot. Noticing my jeans are getting smaller so going to make an effort to do something exercise related every day from now on, even if it’s a 1/2 hr brisk walk. Must look after myself better once the exams are done. I am healthy which I am grateful for, which makes everything else attainable.

Just Come back from a buffet lunch at my in-laws for fathers day. My Husbands younger brother and future sister-in-law were there too with talk of their wedding next june. my daughter is going to be bridesmaid and her cousin will be pageboy. Going out for a walk soon to stretch my legs, need to work of the eclair, custard doughnut and strawberries and cream I had after lunch.

enjoy life!

This morning, paid bills, and worked on bmindful index that madcookieman and I collaborated on last evening. I know Lee has some great ideas in the works for an index, though MCM came to my rescue with the like threads I had been trying to group together for the present. I love how he formed links to the index I was struggling with. I simply had to cut and paste from the thread I began, and put it on his beautiful index pages. He has 1 master page, and it loks like it works great! Our community has wonderful threads and lots of them!

I’m now getting ready for work, but 1st a quick trip to fresh eyes thread.

Eating brunch->missed breakfast, except for a grapefruit.

I focused on a little overall planning. I wasn’t feeling very motivated today, and have a work day to go to today. I listened to a bit of Brian Tracy (Breaking Success Barriers).

I’m printing out a 70 pg info packet for an exam I need to take this year for current job certification and transferrable skills I want to note on my resume, and info I’d like to have. Just need those infamous blocks of time(:

Well, time to prepare for work. Thinking of going to fresh eyes thread. Maybe..

I am doing well. And so appreciate support I’ve been receiving for some new-goal places I’ve been finding myself in.

Because of my new planning technique, my tasks for the day are more easily laid out. I’m grateful for the recent discomfort, or I wouldn’t have felt the need to dig deeper, and do something a bit different.

Much to do. And that’s ok, as long as my perspective stays open to my ‘bigger picture’. I can do it.

I am cooking lunch for work today. I’ve chatted on bmindful and now preparing for my work day. Before I leave I will go to a couple of threads like fresh eyes-thread and maybe my 3 things I’ll focus on today-thread.

Doing well->just need to watch the time in all I do, so I pace myself well.

I just finished a thread, and Please join me there, if you like

I’m preparing for my day, and handling finances before I lv.

Made a wonderful protein drink.

I had sworn off protein drinks for some time. I had made foods that gave me much of what I needed. I have continued to eat healthy, but slacking off on consistency of 5 small meals a day. So the drink is helpful, until I get my “full routine” in order(: For me, the 5 sm. meals regulate my blood sugar and give a booster to my metabolism.

For work, I make a prot. drink (and divide it up) for my snacks. It works and tastes great!

Well off I go(:
My bes to you all. And miss YOUR posts(:

I’m sitting here in my office. My husband is taking a morning class so it is very quiet here. I’m almost not sure what to do with myself (other than the very long list he left for me to accomplish while he is gone). I think it is time to take Sonia’s advice and relish the SILENCE. :)

I am living in many dimensions at once; the appearance of being trapped in time and space is only an illusion.

Worked all day..studied for an exam..going to sleep(:

Had a decent day at work. Some other areas I’ve been working on …seeing the light there(:
After work played about 8 games of foosball w/my hubby. We tied for games won. Though most importantly we had lots of fun and will do this as part of our regular routine.

Foosball is how we met way back when in Ca. Fun!!!!!!!!!!!!

After our fun, continued on at “our” health food store before they closed,buying our favorite foods.

I love living in the moment with my hubby(:

Hi to everyone online!
Have a wonderful day :O)

A full and thankful heart..

I’m feeling grateful towards the wonderful Laurie who was the first person to comment on my profile page and has given me so much encouragement. I’m not around as much but I still think of you all.

Get coffee, stop Bmindfuling, start assignment is the plan for the next few hours.

I am trying to feel at ease with navigating my way around bmindful. Only joined a couple of days ago so I feel a little out of place…but I suppose starting anything new feels like this first before it feels totally comfortable. Bmindful has a simple layout that I am sure will be easy to feel completely at home within over the next few weeks. I am looking forward to engaging in discussions, using affirmations and writing my own. I’ve been looking for an online community that I can feel at home in and I believe I have now found it here…I am sooooooo happy about this. Love and light to all bmindful members. :)
