LOCATION:  The Hangar, Front Street, Juneau, Alaska.

“……I left Granny to do her thing; shopping, of course. We decided to meet at the Last Saloon at 1400 hours to touch base. Rick and Lori took the Tourist Boat to see the big glacier, a real tourist must see!

We all walked to the Mendenhall Glacier, yesterday. It was very impressive! I am thinking that the Cruise Ships don’t give much except dump everyone into the “Tourist Trap” along the wharf. I still wonder why anyone would actually buy a diamond at these places. They must be at least four times the regular prices anywhere else but there are Jewelers every second shop. So they must get enough business to remain open.

I have been thinking about the temptations to feel sorry for oneself. How easy it is to believe that your personal situation is worse than that of anyone else. But that is the challenge…….to rise above self pity. I am thinking more about the idea of our spirits being “recycled” back to Earth. Okay, transgression, to use the terminology associated with that subject.

So we are sent here to learn more about our spiritual well being. I favor the understanding that we are sent here to improve upon what was in place when we arrived. So our objective is to challenge all odds and create and develop a greater Earth to be enjoyed by those who follow us. One may refer to it as a “pioneering mission”.

To complain and find excuses why we cannot achieve is not in the plan. So when I allow myself to be trapped by my hearing challenges and succumb to self-pity, this is definitely not the situation that I should allow myself to enter. The objective is to take control of oneself, and launch ourselves through these mists and smile. Not only smile, but make others feel great. So I need to “kick my ass” more often than I do so that I rarely enter those moods.

It starts with one negative thought and it seems to attract and amass like a snowball rolling down a hill. Until I suffocate by it all and I become a disturbing person to be around and live with.

It is probably no different than the process I used to overcome Agoraphobia attacks that I once had. To find that key moment when you are drifting into that mindset and jump out of it in time. Start positive thoughts and rekindle creative energy again. Well, alright, that is definitely what needs to be the process that I should use whenever those conditions come into play.

This trip with the Woodhouses has been tough on me as I am not used to lying around and sleeping in like everyone else. So when everyone has extra energy, I am already wavering and wilting away, ready to go to sleep.

Also the enthusiasm of Lori to go and see everything is actually stressful and a shock to my system as I am surprised, firstly, that someone else wants to lead. It seems that what I used to do but now I am unable to handle it. This is also strange to me and I need to deal with it better than I am as I have another two full weeks to go before it is all over.

I am writing this all down as it is possible that the future readers of all these “musings” will find strength and conviction to stimulate themselves effectively in a positive manner, rather than wandering aimlessly in the “hinterland” like I have been doing from time to time.

I need to research this magnetism theory, that the Sun’s activity with the related surges of energy, are simultaneously transmitted to Earth’s magnetic actions. That has to affect the way all living and inanimate things act and function.

The entire research into crop circles and the perfect patterns that are created, almost instantaneously, are rumored to be a direct result of magnetism, triggered by forces still not understood by mankind.

Look at the perfection of a bird’s coloring and feather patterns (there is oen walking at my feet waiting for me to drop a morsel). Obviously this is all part of Nature’s “memory card”

And so, I believe that this magnetism has everything to do with our bodily functions. Changes that occur in magnetism, influence the way we act, think and love.

We cannot change the Earth’s revolution going counter clockwise nor its revolving anticlockwise around the Sun and our tendency to race in a counterclockwise direction. It is all part of Nature’s systematic patterns.

Our entire body is basically Oxygen, Carbon and Hydrogen that have associated   as elements into complex molecules. All cells are complete with “memory cards” that guide them to recreate again and again.

So this active sequence is absolutely impossible to comprehend by a human mind which in itself is an even more complex process of cells and molecules. Researchers say that there are only fifty (50) trillion atoms in our body (I wonder who counted them, hee, hee?).

I guess, perhaps, I am a victim of the natural processes that my body has inherited but it is even more important that I allow my spirit to influence me in a more continual basis so that I may control my body better.

Well okay, I will pay my bill for Fish chowder (they did not have Clam chowder) and Salmon ½ sandwich and carry on to the “trysting place” with Marilyn.

Besides, I need to write a few more verses to the “Northern Journey” about the Juneau experiences..………….”
