your current situation /"life snapshot" ?

[joelyle]

Hi,
What is the snapshot of your life situation? What is happening/what are you experiencing today? What are you in the act of?

For me:
I am single, twice divorced; previously: I worked to create another "lifetime" relationship; today: I actively loving all people (moving from duality).
Concentrating on BEING vs. doing; this has been fascinating; thoughts are often non-existent. Actions are bypassing the mind. Previously, I had considered moving towards a vegetarian eating habit. I have followed this today and feel GREAT.
Today I followed my intention of drinking less coffee (25 oz. vs. 40 oz.) Once upon a time I was two pots per day; have cut my milk down to 16 oz. a day. Today, I am following my intention of being genuine. I appear peaceful (not presenting false happiness). I have acted on my intention to have more orderly home environment.

It's interesting to read threads in this forum. Particularly to see all post by a member. To get a snapshot is helpful.

Single. Two years out of a 6 year relationship that lasted from when I was 19-25. I feel divorced, or would more so if gay marriage was legal I suppose.

Born and raised in Central Ohio. Moved to San Rafael, CA, a small town north of San Francisco about eight months ago.

Can't stand the gay scene in San Francisco. Or anywhere else for that matter. Gay men don't act masculine, everyone is on meds, fashionable, stoned, fake.. Gah.

I love the Bay area though. Marin county is 73% protected land. Beautiful.

Vegan, loving it. Probably the best part of my life. It changed everything.

Have an easy job that pays well. Not very inspiring though. Saving a little money. Trying to date.

Hate our society. Can't get over how many people are willing to accept things that are simply unacceptable.

Saw Modest Mouse live. Awesome. Saw The Arcade Fire live. Awesome. Saw Sicko. Saw No End In Sight. Working with Seva. Design freelance websites for fun.

Generally don't feel very passionate about life anymore. Pretty disillusioned. Over the top tired of consumerism, excuses, lies and class warfare. Too many people are out for themselves, its breaking the whole game. Through being cool.


Ice-age heat wave, can't complain.
If the world's at large, why should I remain?

Walked away to another plan.
Gonna find another place, maybe one I can stand.

Yay for Modest Mouse!

Uhh, I'm in Norcal too! And Dan lives close to my buddy.

I moved here about a year ago for a dude. Didn't work out. Met the best boy in the entire world. He's the greatest. I have a good job and good coworkers. I consider them my friends. My health isn't perfect, but I'm changing that and it's really improving. I don't want for anything right now except the student loans being paid.

A beautiful morning with my wife and kids, playing with and training our new dog on our back lawn. And beach, which is also our backyard, as we own to the high water mark. At 9am I met up with a couple from interstate who had flown over last night, to look at some blocks of land I am selling from a subdivision I developed. I have built some awesome contacts with agents around the place. The couple were stoked. Stoked that the blocks were even better than the description, and the views even more deluxe than the photo's and footage. They can easily see the obvious capital gains potential. That's how I like things...no c##p. They're stoked and will benefit awesomely, I'm stoked and ditto. So come 10am, 3 more blocks gone.

Thats me sitting pretty and I'm getting this urge to concentrate on the markets for the next year. I had some amasing surf on Monday, and I ran into a mate that was frothing. This one place is so rare to be good, but when it is, it is mind bending barrels. Full grunt booming out of the deep, into shallow water drain pipes. He was cursing he missed it, and we were having a laugh and sledging session. Just me and two young guys timed it to perfection, it was paradise. Heaps of guys wouldn't go out, because it is power plus. I am so stoked, I'm early fifties and I absolutely revel in it. I love feeling and being, so awesomely fit. We are having a ball stirring the rest of the boys up. Betta watch out, they'll be plotting one back. I did a deluxe shoulder and arm workout last night, and have this Vasa trainer I'm gonna put through its paces this arvo, experimenting with paddling workouts.

Well I'm off, cruising into town with my delicious wife for a bite to eat. Its been another biggie...and only half gone. Who knows what's next? Maybe some ludicrous internet argument about whether God, Spirit, faith, LoA, manifesting is real or not. Or whether I'm working hard enough. Its all entertaining anyway. Nah, it will be good, there will be some deluxe examples.

One dilemma though. Margarets, Carolines, or Ulladulla...where to go? I'd better get on the phone and find out where my new, magic boards are.

Oh yeh, it goes without saying, doesn't it...I had an awesome meditation and visualisation this morning. Oneness. Unlimited, magnificent oneness...thankyou...no need to say how much, but I do, sincerely. You can't fool yourself.

And I'm gonna say it again today, because I love it, it inspires me:

"I thrive. I remind myself sometimes, in a positive way, that I was once a skinny, little, terrified kid, totally alone, trapped under a slobbering animal who had society in his back pocket, and I chose to be a good person, the best I can be."
