A Little Logical Unemotional Thinking Is Required

Thinking.  Something that seems to have become antiquated.

In today’s world thinking, Logical Unemotional Thinking has given way to intellectual laziness.  Rude, I know.  But, in the world we live in we’re really told what to think!  What to do, to eat!  What to say!  When to do something, when not to do something!  (That’s the abbreviated version.)

And either way, you’re wrong.  Or, either way, you’re right.  No thinking required.  The decisions are already made up for us!  Isn’t that just dandy!!

Live life, let someone else make your decisions!  No thinking required.

What is it that has made me write such a ‘unusual’ blog?  Not one thing in particular.  I can point to a number of things.  And I’ll do a few…..





Come along for a brief tour with me.

We’re surrounded by experts…..food, lifestyle, finances, politics, etc.  We no longer have to put out any effort to determine most anything in life.  That includes finding our significant other.  There’s websites that will lead us to that wonderful life long soul mate.  That, and there are dating specialist that will groom us to capture the heart of the perfect match (and in some cases ‘monetary vitality’, if you catch my drift).  We don’t have to put out the effort of making a new acquaintance at the local grocery, town meeting, mixer, or even ‘speed dating’.  (That’s a winner!)

No, we can hire a person that will help us tweak our personality to catch the fish of our choice.  Hehehehe…

What about lifestyle?  That is a very broad subject, could be a touchy one too so I won’t enter any controversial aspect…..(thank goodness, right!).

Evidently I need a ‘Life Coach’ to tell me how to live!

We can now have our very own ‘life coach’.

I remember getting a message from this ‘life coach’ on Twitter asking me what’s my ‘biggest struggles’.  I had a quick and simple reply, “Did you know that struggles are good….wading through them is an adventure……this is living life….struggles come small and large. They are the test of the individual..,,,,This is the thrill of life!! Be adventurous!”

There’s was another, a young ‘whippersnapper’, still wet behind the years that wanted to guide me into a successful and fulfilling life.  That response, I’ll keep private.

Here’s one fresh on my mind this morning.  First a sip of water though.



When is the ‘best’ time to drink water?  Just think, someone has come up with the brilliant idea of tell us when to drink water.  Nevermind about thirst (although by the time we are thirsty we’re probably a bit or more dehydrated). I don’t know if you know this or not but supposedly the best time to guzzle your first glass of water is shortly after you’ve awakened.  Seems to be that (as the story goes) it kicks up your metabolism.   I don’t know this to be a truth, I can’t seem to find out how to measure my metabolism.

I guess I’m at the mercy of the metabolism gods and whoever put together the research for the morning guzzle.

A while back wanting to put my 2 cents in, I wrote a blog on “When Is The Best Time To Poop”.  You can find this fabulous and informative article here: http://peaceloveandbeaches.com/index.php/2016/07/15/best-time-poop/  I’m sure it’ll be quite helpful. Just thinking, but maybe I could become a ‘Life Coach’!

When did this all start?

Personally, I like self-help books.  They tend to get me thinking….  So, is that the starting point of where we’re at today?

We can get all sorts of help for most anything we’re interested in.  Hell!  Go to YouTube.com and find a short film on how to change a tire or even a baby’s diaper.  We can use Skype for that Life Guru to have personal contact and discuss the woo is me of our lives.

I like the parenting ones.  One size fits all…  Now, that’s a bit unfair, I’ve never ventured.  Too many variables. And now two decisions are alike.  Should I wipe the baby’s bottom towards me or away from me?  Decisions!!

Here’s One of My FAVORITES!

You’re trying to be an informed citizen so you’ve taken your time to watch some speech that a local or national politician is making on TV tonight.  So, you sit through for the duration and following that is a news program to provide coverage of the speech.  It’s been done since the stone age.  Nowadays they include a select panel and through their interpretations and analysis (these people get paid good money to do this…..your neighbor can provide you with just as good analysis) and at some point the magic moment arrives.  The main commentator says, “This is what the official said.”

At that point, that all encompassing statement.  I turn off the TV.  I know what was said, I just sat thru the broadcast.  And, I’m really not interested in someone’s opinion.  If the official said that normally on a sunny day we may see some clouds and the skies will be blue.  I don’t need an interpretation of that!  I and you too can think on your own!



Sometimes I think I could use a simple ‘Grammar and Spelling Coach’.

Peace, love, and beaches,
