Momentum of effort

Momentum of effort
When are you most likely to make the effort to get things done? It's when you're already taking action.
If you get the day started by doing a lot of nothing, the whole day is likely to go that way. Yet when you begin the day with a positive action, even if it's just a little one, you set the powerful momentum of effort in motion.
Once you're moving and working and creating and achieving, you'll tend to keep it up. That's why it is so important to get started early in the day.
What happens when you've just experienced how good it feels to get something done? You become eager to do more, so you can create that great feeling again.
There is some little something you can do right now that will give you a taste of accomplishment. Do it, feel the good feeling, and notice how motivated you become to do even more.
There's always a quick way to create the momentum of effort in your life. Get yourself going with positive action, and put that momentum of effort and achievement to work for you.

Sunset Serenade
This is another "slide show" video I did using both iMovie and Photo to Movie editing software. I photographed the stills in Watch Hill Rhode Island. Actually, I made this for Mrs. Trip for a special occasion... that's why you'll see the cover of her recipe binder at the very end. BTW... she photographed the wave breaking over the rock!
Here it is in MPEG4 format.... might take a couple minutes to download...

Hi there
It has been awhile things have been crazy at work and believe it or not my granddaughter turned 2 last weekend so I have been to busy to sew. Boy have I missed it. I had started a Christmas project 3 weeks ago and have not been able to get back to it.
Well a friend at work just had her 1st granddaughter about 3 weeks ago so this was the 1st weekend I had free to make a quilt. Yeah I made an easy pattern so i could get it done,lazy me but I didn't want the baby to be grown up by the time I got to it. I posted the picture below.
I still am having a problem with bunching up a bit in the back but I hope my friend and the baby won't care. It was made with love and as all you ladies have told me the mistakes make it special. Boy is the back of this quilt special!
I miss you all so much and hope things are going well for everyone.

Book title challenge
I am always trying to think of good book titles, in case I ever actually write a book. So how about we make a game of it? I thought of a good one the other night: STARDUST: Revelations of a Hollywood Housekeeper. The title you create can be humorous (like my lame attempt), serious or whatever. Anybody care to try?
Homeless In Paradise?
At our Causeways here there are some homeless that hang around there at night. Last night I ran into someone who asked me for money because he was homeless and needed some things. I didn't give him money but I gave him a bag of donuts that I had been given earlier....What do you do or would you do when these people ask you for money?
The Nerve of AARP
I thought a law was adopted making it a crime to send those automated telephone calls. Yesterday I got one of those calls from AARP. Not only did I not solicit the call but it also frosted me that AARP is playing politics. They said that THEY were supporting the adoption of the current healthcare proposal and asked me to call my representatives to tell them to support it, too. I think as an insurance company they should worry more about selling insurance than lobbying a political cause. It's no wonder thousands have dropped them over the healthcare issue, I'm doing the same!

SEE REPLY FOR THE REST...
1. Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've
forgotten this before.
2. Lots of comedians have people they try to mimic. I mimic my shadow.
3. I was once walking through the forest alone. A tree fell right in front of me
-- and I didn't hear it.
4. He asked me if I knew what time it was. I said, "Yes, but not right now."
5. I put tape on the mirrors in my house so I don't accidentally walk through into
another dimension.
6. I've been doing a lot of abstract painting lately, extremely abstract. No
brush, no paint, no canvas, I just think about it.
7. My watch is three hours fast, and I can't fix it. So I'm going to move to New
York.
8. I like to reminisce with people I don't know.
9. I like to skate on the other side of the ice.
10. I'm so hyper... (Said with a very dull voice.)
