Beth's Ponderings
Have you noticed
the world seems to be getting crazier and crazier? So much so, that it’s getting harder to know
what is really going on, and whom you can trust.
And on that note,
we are on the eve of a federal election, and I sincerely hope you all vote. Whether you agree that we should be having an
election now or not, and whether you agree with the candidates or not, we all
need to do our civic duty and vote. While
we are interested in the party leaders and what they stand for, it is even more
important to vote for the best local representative for your riding - not to
make sure a particular party does or doesn’t get elected (that strategy usually
tends to backfire) - so that local issues can be acknowledged and addressed. Besides, only by voting do you have a
legitimate right to complain afterwards if things don’t go the way you want.
And it’s the same
for the municipal elections which will be held next month. There is still time to submit nomination
papers if you feel called to run for office.
Though, running for office is much more than just running to make sure a
certain-so-in-so doesn’t get elected, or to put your own agenda forward, it’s
about working to make the whole municipality a better place for all citizens. If you don’t feel called to run for office,
than still take part in the process by voting for your next council.
We may grumble and complain about elections, for various reasons, but the alternative of having no elections, and therefore no say, is by far much worse.

It is your mind more than anything else
that determines the quality of your life,
and it is your energy more than anything else
that determines the state of your mind.

Body thrives on motion, doing, and acting.
Your system is meant to be physically dynamic...
When the body is highly active, you find yourself with an abundance of energy...
Mind needs relaxation, stillness, and effortlessness in order to function at its peak...
Mind thrives on less trying and less holding on.

There's no such thing as a "noun" when we get right down to it,
because everything is actually a process.

Beth's Ponderings
Well, life is
certainly changing - almost feels like it racing out of control, to be truthful.
First off, how can
it be September already?! Where is the
year go? Just a reminder to be careful
when driving around schools as the kids are back in class.
Secondly, I did
finish and send in the proposal to the gallery that I mentioned last time, and
I’m still waiting to hear back. On a
lark, because I saw another Call to Artists for another, smaller, gallery, I
send off a second proposal the same day (which was much simpler compared with
the first as I wasn’t required to submit as much information). Two days later I heard back that the second
proposal was accepted!!!! I will know
more after September 14th, after staff return from holidays.
I honestly have no idea where this new direction will take me, but it will be an adventure, no matter what happens.
