Don't lag behind

Yeah sometimes we get overwhelmed with stuff to do and we can't finish it all in one day, so we continue tomorrow.  I talked about it the other day.  It's not procrastinating, it's being busy.  You might as well give your heart a break.  There are times when you have to run or perish.  Like running from a tornado.  Like when Lot (peace be on him) and his family ran from Sodom and Gomorrah, but his wife looked back.  That, I'm sure you would agree with me, would be a spiritual moment.  If that were the case, I would not be the one leaving you behind, but God.

So please do the best you can with the situation that God has given you.  Let's work together, and quit the jealousy.  If you expect me to do all the work and come and get you without your even trying to connect with me, then I will try to do so because I made the decision and the promise.  But my efforts will be futile if you lag behind.

Good job

Good job, Natty!  Congratulations.  I'm happy to see you express yourself, and in a most fabulous way.  Yes, March 15 2019 was a powerful day.  I must have pushed hard without realizing yesterday, because my voice was tired today.  Maybe I should have eaten more than I did.  I guess NYC is now your town, Natty.  Just don't behave as if everyone should know who you are.  I have a video for you.  I've been watching a lot of tornado videos lately.  This one was recorded by Clem Schultz in Fairdale IL:

Hi Erin!  How are you feeling today?  I hope you're not still feeling like a wet cat sleeping in a box outside the house, because I already brought you inside.  Since you left NYC, I guess the rest of America is yours.  I suggest you focus on the heartland, but if you want to get artsy then LA is the place for you.  Or Chicago.  Have faith and be confident, OK Scrapper?

I'm actually wearing a bra in these snapshots, but Second Life has different physics than real life.

Undivided attention

Hello, my Ladies.  How are you today?  I hope you are feeling and doing great.  Try to relax, and keep your cool.  If you want to be scared, then put your fear in Allah.  Allah is the only One Who can adequately protect us.  From Allah is our origin, and to Allah is our return.

My glasses recently disintegrated, and I have been adapting to life using my natural vision which is short sighted.  Don't worry, I have an extra pair of glasses which I use only for driving.  I can't work in them, so I just set my monitor up on a small round table with an old computer shell to elevate the monitor up to eye level, so my face is 6 inches away from the screen and I can work just fine at that distance.  However at night when I lay down my bed, it's more convenient to put the monitor down on a plastic tub because I like to sleep on the floor.  This apparently annoys Luka, because when she's in the bedroom with me, she wants me to concentrate on rubbing her tummy, kissing her, snuggling her, petting her and all that, instead of staring at the monitor and half-assedly using one hand to pet her.  Last night she jumped on top of my monitor, and sent it clattering on the floor.  She obviously didn't intend to balance herself on my flat screen monitor, she meant to knock it onto the ground.  The plastic frame cracked, but thank God the screen still works just fine, so I duct taped it back together.  For which I am thankful, because this is my only monitor.  Yeah Luka, you got my attention.  Now get out of my bedroom.

It so happened that Too Many Zooz was playing when Luka jumped onto my monitor.  This is a NYC band.  Hey Natty my beautiful darling, since NYC is now your jurisdiction, you should go and check out this band.  I'm curious to see if they know who you are.  These guys sound best in a subway, but when they are on a concert stage they seem to lose power.  Perhaps they should bring a wall with them onstage, and play with their backs against the wall.

Time

Hello, my Ladies.  How are you feeling today?  I hope you are taking your time, and not being in a big hurry to do anything.  When we are young, time moves so slowly, we want to hurry up and grow up.  Today I looked at the yard and thought to myself, "I used to cut the grass more often than this!"  So I decided to cut the grass again today (I did so yesterday), but instead I had to go out and do some shopping.  I slept in this morning, because I got very little sleep the night before, it was so hot I couldn't fall asleep.  Now that it's sunset, I have to try cut the grass tomorrow instead, time permitting.  Really my love, there's no point in hurrying.  Take care of your heart and slow down.  Things either get done or not...

All humans are in a state of loss.  Except those who believe in God, and are truthful and patient.

EEK!!!  I grew up to this music!  😱
