Wishing you a Happy Day!

Namaste Sweetie! 121918

Brad Fitt from Staxus

Namaste Sweetie,

Happy Hump Day!

I hope you are feelin' fine and doing well

Sadly

I am not

I am feeling feverish again today

Not sure why

I felt like I was moving forward

But at the moment I don't feel well

And I don't have enough energy to create today's posts

So

I'm going to try what they did on Frasier

(you know the TV show)

When he couldn't be on the air

They would put in a tape of

"The Best of Crane"

So That's What I'm Gonna Try

Today I am re-posting previously posted posts

As an attempt to bring you

"The Best of AOMMD"

(I figure it is better than nothing)

:  )

I hope you will enjoy it

Hopefully, I will be back tomorrow

I wish you a beautiful feel good day!

Let us continue to promote

Peace and Love

and continue to build

The more Beautiful World

Our Hearts know is Possible

Peace and Love,

AOM

I invite you to join me now in this short Metta Prayer

Radiating the energy of peace and love out to all living beings

Take a few deep breaths to clear your mind

And focus on the here and now

This present moment

Now

Breathe in

Filling your being with peace and love

As you begin each line, breathe out slowly

Breathing these thoughts into the world

Reading, thinking, and feeling the words with peace and love

Sending them from your heart

Giving the energy to yourself and to all living beings

Breathe in and repeat the process for each line

AOM Meditations: 121918

Braids (1977) by Andrew Wyeth

I love the detail, the atmosphere, the mood, the nobility
  
~*~

  

Do not lose time on daily trivialities

Do not dwell on petty detail.

For all of these things melt away

and drift apart within the obscure traffic of time

Live well, and live broadly

You are alive and living now.

Now is the envy of all the dead.

~Emily 

from the film, World of Tomorrow (2015)
You can see this film on NetFlix

“Look at everything always 

as though you were seeing it 

either for the first or last time: 

Thus is your time on earth filled with glory.”

~Betty Smith

(A Tree Grows in Brooklyn)

~*~

“Don’t ask what the world needs. 

Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. 

Because what the world needs 

is people who have come alive.”

~Howard Thurman

LOL

I Love this Gif!

Brings back fond memories of summer camp

I can still feel my giggles

As my buddies and I dropped our towels and

Took off running naked from the pool to our cabin

A wonderful wide smile

Still brightens my face today

As I look back on those moments

Good Times!

Chase Wright from PlayGirl

Namaste, Sweetie!

Happy 2's Day

Yep.

At least Twice!

:  )

Welcome, my Friend

Come on in

Grab yourself a cup of Tea or Coffee

And stroll down AOMMD Lane with me

I'm so glad you are here

I'm feeling a bit better

This junk I have likes to linger

My chest is still congested

So I'm coughing a lot

My energy level goes up and down

Hopefully by the weekend I'll be fine

Thank you for your get well wishes

I really appreciate all the positive energy sent my way

It really does help

BREAKING NEWS!!!

I just went to Tumblr and here's what I found
My dashboard shows the pix posted by NSFW blogs that I follow
Dicks soft and hard and sexual activities
Just like normal
And just like normal
There is the link to that blog just above that image
When I left clicked on the link to the blog
A sidebar opened up on the right
It said "This blog may contain sensitive material"
With the option to View the blog
I clicked "View the blog"
It would not go to the blog
But I could view the posts of that blog
Within that sidebar that opened on the right
Since I could not go directly to the blog
I could not go to the blog's archive page
Which is how I usually search for pix on a blog
But for now
It appears that we can still see the posts of NSFW blogs
Interestingly
If I right clicked on the link to the blog
And chose Open in New Tab
The new tab opened with the message
"This Tumblr may contain sensitive media"
"Go to my Dashboard"
Which took me back to my dashboard
Which didn't let me view the blog at all
Weird

My Safe For Work (SFW) Tumblr blog
Had two posts hidden from view
I could not see what they were anywhere
It says they were hidden from public view
But I could not see them at all
Not Even in my archive
Luckily, 
I knew another way to view my archive
If you are signed into your account
Use this address to see all your posts without the censor
https://www.tumblr.com/mega-editor

There I could see that the two posts that were hidden
Which were two Michelangelo sculptures
The David and The Slave
I could not find how to appeal
  
I was able to visit some blogs
And was able to view their archive page
Here is how one of them looked

The white areas with the little box says this

These cover over the NSFW posts
UNLESS
They screwed up and censored something they allow
Like the work Michelangelo

I'm not sure if this is the
New Standard Operating Procedures
At the time it does appear that any blog you were following
Will show the posts of that blog in your dashboard
We shall see how this develops
But for now - Tumblr is severely F'd up
And could be changing day by day

So that's the news from the Tumblr Debacle

I hope you will enjoy your visit here today

I wish you a very FUN Day!

Thanks to our Friend, David, for sending us this beautiful art

 “To play is to listen to the imperative inner force that wants to take form and be acted out without reason. It is the joyful, spontaneous expression of one’s self. The inner force materializes the feeling and perception without planning or effort. That is what play is.”

~Michelle Cassou and Stewart Cubley 

(in Life, Paint and Passion)

~*~

Live life fully while you’re here. 

Experience everything. 

Take care of yourself and your friends. 

Have fun, be crazy, be weird. 

Go out and screw up! 

You’re going to anyway, 

so you might as well enjoy the process. 

~Anthony Robbins

~*~

“How would your life be different if...

You decided to give freely, 

love fully, and play feverishly?  

Let today be the day...

You free yourself from the conditioned rules 

that limit your happiness 

and dilute the beautiful life experience. 

Have fun. 

Give - Love - Play!” 

~Steve Maraboli

(The Power of One)

~*~

There is a powerful freedom

That comes from allowing yourself to
Just Be

SILLY
