What's new in your life?

[Arthur Webster]

This, I suppose, will be a forum to address the great events and life changing happenings that have impinged upon you.

When you woke up this morning, you started a new day. This tends to happen every morning but I wonder how many of us actually appreciate what the new day represents?

Every time you exhale you give your body the opportunity to acquire some new oxygen but I wonder how many of us are grateful that the exhalation is actually followed by an inhalation?

Every time you leave your home you will meet new people. The vast majority of these people will probably be ignored but I wonder how many potential 'best friends' we all fail to acquire because we don't have the time or inclination to develop each new person that crosses our path?

Every time you listen to somebody speak there is a danger that you will learn something new and advantageous but I wonder how many of us really hear what is said to us?

Every time you can sit and do nothing there is the possibility that an idea will flash across your mind but I wonder how many of us are disciplined enough to stop doing nothing, grab the new idea and run with it?

What's new in your life?

More than you could possibly have the time to appreciate.

Great observations Arthur

Most of us miss the new because we live either in the future or the past... Therefore we miss our entire life, because neither exist.
The past does not exist, it is gone.
The Future has not come into being yet, so by mentally living in either the past or the future we miss the only thing that is truly real: This Moment!

Well, since you asked. . .
Several months ago, I woke up to a new day. At the time, I didn't know it was going to be a new day, in fact, it turned out to be an earth shattering new day. Do I listen better, you ask? Yes, I do. I listen to nature, my neighbors, my child, my friends, my family.
I became INVOLVED.

Rae, I had kind of lost touch with you over the past several months...
The LIFE category here might be a good place to tell us how you have been and what you have been doing!

I KNOW you are a great writer!

Hello Arthur,
I definately believe in inhaling after I exhale. I woke this morning at 2:30 A.M., worked on some of my profiles, joined the Ghosts and Goblins group here, played a couple games of spades, listened to part of a podcast, ate some good old french toast and bacon, then took about 2 hours of a nap.
I do appreciate life, I believe in communicating with others. I find a lot of suspicion these days from strangers that I stop to talk to. You always face a possibiity of disappointment when you open up with people you don't personally know and sometimes even with those you do know. When you try to be humorous about life you open yourself up to a lot of criticism from some people, but that's a chance I'm willing to take. Keep a smile on your dial.
I hope you are feeling well today and keep in touch...Roy

OH and what's new in my life today is I joined another social networking group, told a mgr. at United groceries that I loved shopping there and talked to strangers who didn't respond much to my attempt at communication. I also pondered why I hadn't received a box that was mailed to me 7 days ago and gave thought to my plan of selling on ebay, that's some of my day.

Hi, Roy,

That sounds like a pretty good day to me. I wish I could remember as much about what I have done - I tend to remember only the enjoyment from my actions, not necessarily the actions themselves.

Don't worry too much about about criticism - that is just the way many people deal with their own lack of knowledge and/or resistance to novelty/difference.

It is so much easier to criticise than it is to take on a new idea.

Well I guess I am inhaling and exhaling pretty good since I am still around to see another day. Actually I am in pretty good shape considering the medical problems I have. Saw the doc the other day and it went well. So enough with THAT news. Now to my REAL REASON for this post. I have FINALLY completed placing my pics on my profile. I now need to work on a vid project I promised someone else(unrelated to Unfettered stuff). I will still be logging in to Unfettered daily to put in my 2 cents worth. But I will be doing a lot of vid work offline for some time. If I like how these turned out, I will be adding them in my vid section. Oh yeah, I want to thank Garnet for his kind remarks mentioning my name in one of his posts concerning activity here at Unfettered. I forgot what post that was in so I have said my thanks here. I have to run. My video camera is YELLING at me...LOL. Take care.

Hi ALL. I AM STOKED!! I am still working on my vids and I previewed some of them. I have uploaded some BUT I still have that PRIOR committment BEFORE I can place them here. I was NOT expecting much as my video work is still in it's 'baby' stages. Nonetheless, I am PLEASED with the results. I have a disc of 20+ stills from the same adventure but will work on that later. Just a little update on me. take care.

[Karl F. Rose]

Hi ALL! I am done with my video committment. Now I am backed up with other things. I have about 4 or 5 from my recent outing to post. I will post 1 per day in my video section. I will start that in a couple of days. I have some older stuff to add too. Talk to you later.

[Karl F. Rose]

Hi ALL. Just wanted to let you all know I have completed my video agreement and have forwarded all videos I have recently made to someone who made a prior request. I can now begin posting MY own created vids(one at a time in my vid section). I am going to start with my 1st vids. PLEASE don't laugh, my 1st attempts were kind of silly. I WILL edit before I post so you will ONLY see what I feel is worth viewing here. ENJOY.
