The 23rd Wellness

Imaginative Wellness, stylized symbol: Tinker Bell. I am free thinking.

I am more than creative, I am open to possibilities. This is a human-only quality, the flipside of routine or standardized behavior and programming. I imagine my ideal lifestyle, my ideal workspace. Now, in an exercise in reflection, I walk into it, shrug my shoulders, see how it fits. I invite my mind to flow freely in any direction, to improvise, to associate freely.

The person I admire is Rudyard Kipling

 On Universal Causation

Not everything in the universe necessarily has a cause, I understand. Apparently quantum physics and radioactivity and the creation of the universe may be exceptions.

And we can't seem to bend our heads around infinity. In fact, it may exist only in the abstract, like numbers, or the infinitely divided space between points, never in reality

 The 22nd Wellness

Functional Wellness, stylized symbol: Captain's Hat. I am efficient.

I am Control Central --responsible, engaged, involved, workwise, determined. As daily exercises of strength I delay gratifications such as food and other enjoyable routines.

The person I admire is Albert Schweitzer

 The 21st Wellness

Preparatory Wellness, stylized symbol: Cutting Board. I am forward thinking.

 I am caught up with short-term planning and execution. I do not procrastinate, but I anticipate, think ahead to what will be needed, such as planning upcoming meals, keeping at least a half tank of gas in the car, writing down dwindling supplies as I notice them, being prepared for emergencies as fire, loss of electricity, natural gas, or water, walking myself through unfamiliar contingencies, and so forth. I have a short-term (asap to three-month) plan and a long-term (five-year) plan.

The person I admire is Elmer Fudd, ever on the watch for potential problems

 On the U.S. Budget Deficit

I could end the deficit in five minutes. You just pass a law that says that any time there's a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election. --Warren Buffet, 2011

 The 20th Wellness

Reflective Wellness, stylized symbol: Gold Crown. I am enlightened.

I understand. The most complex question or problem can be placed on a back burner to be pondered unconsciously. Take it to bed with you and reflect upon it on awakening. In its own good time your answer or decision will come. Quiet reflection brings clarity.

The person I admire is Alfred North Whitehead

 Movies

THE NIGHT CLERK, R, 2020, Crime/Thriller, John Leguizamo
This poorly plotted movie held my attention as a character study of a young man with autism/Asperger syndrome. I thought he did a great job. Available on ROKU. Three Stars

** DIE HARD is not a Christmas movie, it's a Bruce Willis movie. --Bruce WIllis **
