Every morsel of your entire being alive to the infinite mystery of it all!"

Captain Jack Sparrow:  Pirates of the Caribbean On Stranger Tides

Wow has it been awhile since I have blogged!!  Sooo many changes have taken place it is almost overwhelming to think about.  Drama, drama, drama.  Quick synopsis:  Remarried Jeff, quit my full-time job at Kona Community Hospital, and moved from Hawaii to Cottonwood Heights, Utah to rebuild our family.  That pretty well sums it up.  Nice, boring, uneventful life.  I'm not quite sure what I would do if my life was calm...probably create a new mess just for the fun of sorting it out.  It's a pirate's life for me, savvy?  

Now that I have a bit more free time, I'm going to start writing my blog again a couple of times a week as I have a whole bunch of new material to work with.  Might take me awhile to be interesting again, but hopefully the rusty, writing wheels will start cranking.  I'll use Capt. Jack for some inspiration of course, because nobody says it better in that twisted, warped way that speaks to me.  Be afraid, be very afraid.

I titled this post "Genesis" because in the beginning...wait...,....when was the beginning?  Was it birth?  Graduation?  Marriage?  Oregon?  Arizona?  Idaho?  Hawaii?  Utah?  Kids?  Divorce?  Remarriage?  Will it be Death?  Does the beginning actually ever end?  Thankfully for me no, or during those darkest of moments, I would never have the faith that we could begin again to rebuild, mend, or heal from pain and circumstances that may have to a certain extent, been beyond our control.  Big beginnings or little beginnings.  I have no choice, this is a new "Big" beginning for me and my family and I HAVE to start over in many respects.

One thing is for sure:  In the beginning, something was created good or bad.  How's that been working out for you.  Or have you been working on it at all.  I believe that procrastination contributes to the bad because negative energy is spent in believing something won't work or in settling for status quo.  I'm as guilty of this as anyone.  Life never remains stagnant, it's either moving forwards or backwards.  Creating a positive new beginning moves it forward in a timely manner.

Maybe it's comfortable not to begin again for a minute, a day, a year, a lifetime.  And where will you be at that point.  It's all created starting now, no wait...now, or now.  Every second is precious, how much do we allow ourselves to waste before we begin to create.

My ringtone reminds me all the time,  "So if your tired of the same old story, Oh, turn some pages."  Begin, and start now.  "How do  I start" you may ask?  Here's a quick tip.  Earl Nightingale was once asked how he managed time.  He said, 'Time can't be managed, it can only be filled.  Write a new list of what you want to accomplish every day and work through it.  What you don't get done, do on tomorrows list.  But always work."

Begin, create, laugh, cry, live, reward, care, serve:  don't waste and do it all over again everyday.  Value the good, purge the bad, honor your values and beliefs and always move onward and upward.  I love the Hawaiian word "Aloha".  It means hello, and good bye.  It means love and affection.  To me, it means always evolving, never a firm beginning or ending, only moving forward with the best of emotions and behavior.  
I resolve to do it, do you?  

Now, bring me that Horizon.....
