1. I keep a back scratcher next to me while I type. I have one spot on my back that itches many, many times a day. And never fail, when I crawl into bed at night it goes into over drive. Dearest one knows exactly where that itch is. He's my favourite back scratcher. If I don't eat anything I'm allergic to my back itches much less. In addition to many other foods, I'm allergic to chocolate. Need I say more?
2. I feel much older in my body this morning than I am. I'm glad I have a day of computer work ahead of me instead of housework. I hurt from head to toes, like I need some oil on the joints and some gas in my tank in order to function. Eventually both my brain and my body will wake up. I hope it's soon.
3. I am slow on the uptake (Ya think?!). Some of my favourite bloggers, I've looked at my blog list this week and thought, my God they're posting late today. Duh. I've been up much earlier than normal so really it's me, not them, whose schedule changed. It's embarrassing how many days it took me to figure that out. But then, when you consider I couldn't figure out that my handheld computer doohickey's charge cord was also the power cord, one can't be too surprised, can they?
4. I get random hits on my blog nearly every day for the phrase "thank you for this moment" which is a close reference of a poem by Ted Loder. That post can be found here.
5. This is one of my favourite Craig Ferguson pieces:
6. Today I must find my desk underneath piles of papers and books. There is a hydraulic jack on it that I used last night as a paper weight. I hope I'll find two different sets of notes that were on my desk at one time. I just about convinced myself the other day that I needed a newer, bigger desk. In reality, I just need to clean off the one I have. Which is applicable to so much of life. Take care of what is, instead of wishing for something else.
7. Despite the mess, I can see 4 different objects that have the word "hope" on them from where I'm sitting. I wonder if anything on my desk is secretly wishing my word was "help" instead of hope. The favourite thing I can see from where I sit is an old cover from a missalette that has a picture of Archangel Raphael holding a sign that says "Take courage! God has healing in store for you."

Hope is a great thing. I think of Step Two and it's filled with hope.
My desk looks like a mess also. Yet, I know what's in every pile (sorta!).
My biggest message from your blog is hope... and I really like it.
These are the words that smacked me upside the head: Take care of what is, instead of wishing for something else.
I'll came back and listen to the video...I like this guy.
I have only seen Craig Ferguson a handful of times and this was one of the ones I happened to see. He makes some good points. Strange that people continue to laugh when he's trying to be serious.
My message from your blog is hopeful mess. (I'm HOPING I can find some missing stuff in that MESS!)
Believe me, my desk is messier than yours--yes it is--no, it is not--yes it is--no, it's not, bacause MY desk is messier than yours....
