INTRO TO THIS WEEK >>
Enjoying my time with Beth, and, it looks like we will be enjoying our time together for the rest of our lives.
After Tina left me a few years ago, I thought I would not be able to find anyone to be with; I saw a solo life in my future. I am so happy Beth and I met and fell in love – this adds so much to my life.
This week Beth and I went to see Niels Duinker in Myrtle Beach. A few other great jugglers were there at the time, too. One of which was Albert Lucas, a fantabulous juggler.
After the show, Beth and I started the four-hour drive back home. I found a place where we could sleep in the van between the growth of many trees. It takes some time to set up the van for sleep for two people.
It ended up that we set the small inflatable bed outside the van on the grass. I slept in the van and Beth on the mattress outside the van. This was the first time she had slept in the wilderness and the first time sleeping outside under the stars. We both slept well.
=========================
WORDS TO INSPIRE YOU! >>
Inspirational quotes and motivational sayings have an amazing ability to change the way we feel about life and can change our thinking. This is why I find them so interesting, challenging, and important on our path to joy and happiness and finding ways to inspire ourselves.
Inspirational quotes provide us with a quick and timely burst of wisdom to get our focus back, offering the inspiration needed for the day or occasion.
I hope to inspire you with my words.
Words have power.
At any age, you can (and should) make changes to make your life better.
You see, the way you think and feel about yourself, including your beliefs and expectations about what is possible for you, determine everything that happens in your life. It all derives from your quality of thinking.
When you improve the quality of your thinking, you change the quality of your life—sometimes instantly!
Just as positive words can make someone smile, and/or, a well-timed amusing quote can make someone laugh, your own thoughts react to the world in real-time. You have this control! In fact, you have complete control over only one thing in the universe — your thinking — and that’s where motivational quotes come in!
To keep your motivation, you have to use each day as an opportunity for improvement, to be better, to get a little bit closer to your goals. It might sound like a lot of work—and with your busy schedule—next to impossible. But you can do it!
Self-talk is so important—THINK RIGHT!
Motivational words, yes, they’re just words.
But they’re positive words; they will keep you on track.
I hope the words I pick do help you.
*************************
BE INSPIRED BY THESE WORDS>>
We all go through hard times and setbacks. After you have gone through the change, even if left-over after effects exist, LET GO of these memories.
Letting go will release your freedom. This, “FREEDOM”, is the only condition for your happiness to return and grow. As you let go of bad thoughts and memories, your life is sure to advance.
At any age, you can make the change and aim your life anew.
Now, it’s time to get out there and do
something incredible that you can rejoice in!

MY DAILY JOTTINGS >>
7-10—Still working on Beth’s roof and around the house. She found a sofa, a huge one, that we had to retrieve with the van. So, I took everything out and we made three trips to get the big pieces.
7/11—Albert Lucas was there, as was Niels Duinker, Slim Chance (David Hirschi), and Deena Frooman (helping to run the International Jugglers Association—The IJA). Along with other jugglers from the area. So, some good representatives of the juggling world.
We were all there to witness Niels’ act at the Wonder Theater in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The audience was there only to see Niels’ show; he was the only one in the show. Afterward, I gave him some ideas to improve what he does, he did like my ideas.
Watch and be entertained >>

The show was from 4 in the afternoon until about 5:30, after, all of us went across the way to BarLouie. A classy place, all had a good time there. Then, Beth and I started down the road to home. While driving I was looking for a place to park for the night so we could sleep.
Kit signing books for jugglers.
At the entrance to a big field there was a break in the trees; this was our place for the night. I started to set the van up for us to sleep, Beth told me to just put her inflatable mattress out on the ground. She told me this was the first time she had slept out under the stars.
7/12-16—Not much happening these days. Working on Beth’s home and lands, making things better and better. It surprises me that people often do not make improvements to their living situation. Make even small improvements daily and they will add up to a better life.
I would love to hear from you!
