Attitude.




I have a few favorite gifs, and this is one of them.  I have sent it to Kate and Amanda, and I think of my mom, too, when I sent it to my sisters.  I am very choosy in how I use that gif.

Matt recommended I delete my gif keyboard to help.  But I am stubborn, I deleted my gif keyboard.  I know I need to trade my phone in because the battery is dead tired, but out of all the phones I’ve had, I like this one.  I like this one even against my Kyocera phone with the little snake game.  I put a ruby red faceplate on that Kyocera, like Dorothy’s shoes ruby.  My first cell phone as a senior in high school was tight. 

My phone notified me last night my screen time was up 11% for an average of 9 hours of screen time.  I think I know how so it makes sense to me, but to make it make even more “How.”, I don’t have Facebook’s application on my phone, and I don’t own an Instagram or TikTok.  As my mostly accurate friend would say, I think my YouTube subscriptions are “Live!” /lyev/  The content is good.  In a world where everyone is famous just like everyone achieves a participation ribbon, they just have earned talent. 

I miss my gif keyboard.  One of the things I would do when I was looking for something dumb to do is browse the gif keyboard.  There is some fun stuff in there.  Sometimes when I get a gif from someone I think to myself, “Sender, you chose from the first like maybe ten gif choices easily.”  I know when a gif is really good because it will hide sometimes, and that gif up there hides sometimes. 

Beatitudes.  

My mom asked me if I listened to the Beatitudes portion of the series she linked to me, and I am eager.  I primed myself with ten minutes of one episode to prime myself to receive the messages to follow. 

Sacraments and Beatitudes have always been a mystery to me.  Right now beatitude is just a word I know has a great meaning but I don’t know the dictionary meaning yet.  Let’s see what comes to mind when I think about the word beatitude.  A+

Attitude. Attitude is important.  I like the word Beatitude.  How the word is making sense to me in this moment is: 

Beatitudes are attitudes to be.  And if I want to get creative, beatitudes are attitudes to be to become beautiful. 

Attitude is a mindset.  Beatitudes are ideas to consider to frame your mindset for good.

Walk. Wag. Repeat.

Fit check!  My Nitto Nomad Grapplers arrived!  I waited years for these tires to arrive on the market to fit my vision and another year to fit the budget.  I am still creating my very own bumper sticker 🎣 and my vision will be complete.  My bumper sticker inspiration courtesy of “Beau”: I never stuck it on my dogwalking vehicles, though.   Thank you, Guardian Angel, for turning the wheel just right. I wanted to keep Beau’s gift of encouragement to me in a bumper sticker in keepsake condition.  Once upon a time…  But I would walk “500” miles  And I would walk “500” more  Just to be the girl who walked “1000” miles To up- lift her car. Thanks Chris for making my Barbie Jeep dreams come true.  #yourdreamsdontworkunlessyoudo they say. (One day I calculated I dog walked 52 miles/week.  Beau The Dogo Argentina’s mom raised my attention to the reality I had been walking on her watch rain or shine and on rare occasion snow for 2+ years. ...

Completion.

Thank you Matt for taking my picture.  There’s looking at you! I thought some things driving to the grocery store behind a truck and trailer.  First, Yes; that must be some good help in that cab.  Second, that's some well used scaffolding #mindofateacher Third, gratitude for the life of Jesus Christ and Him wanting to share it with me in Him  https ://youtube.com/clip/UgkxzXJyENvvL2pYAws7N3iWv_0Ebl5MCi--?si=mQefTiag4raNoHqP Third, Fourth,  (7/28/24 Thank you Lord God for Your gifts of prayer and promise and wonder of the extraordinary in the ordinary. 🐕‍🦺I am ending my final entry with the beginning of a 54 day Novena for two people I’ve never met, but by powerful mystery beyond my understanding, I feel strangely connected by prayer to pray for. For Elliot and Grace and in Thanksgiving for all holy friendship.  My favorite meditation so far…  I’ll begin the first nine days with a Friendship Novena, too, and try those 54 rosaries for the first time on...

Hashtags

Hashtags are fun. My mom, two sisters, and I can have a conversation, almost, in hashtags. We even punctuate our hashtags with an "exclamation point" emphasized by the thump of our four fingers enumerating the syllables in /hashtag/.  We know it's going to be a good one because the punctuation comes before the actual clips of "phrases".  There's something in a good hashtag, I feel.  Talking in hashtags is saying everything you need to say about something in witty code.   Wit is something special.  In my opinion, wit is mastered by going through an experience and coming out on the good side of it.  Wit is like a language, but there has to be a spark between the sender and receiver so it doesn't get lost in the encoding and decoding process of communication.   So wit is kind of like a love language.  It's the humor in the language between two kindred hearts.  Because, yes, I do believe, laughter is the best medicine.  BEGIN SIDENOTE: When ...
