Last week I managed to get myself to the movies to see Dead Pool. It's a Marvel comic hero's story that I had never even heard of till the movie. The one liners, the overly obvious plot, and the unusual love connection were hilarious to watch and definitely make the movie a must see (maybe a 2nd time). Yes!! It was pretty much right on up at the top of my movie list with the original Iron Man movie for action and character development, and honestly, I was entertained the whole time. I think I will be seeing the Zoolander 2 Show this weekend or Being Single depending on which of the friends ends up going with me to see it. I'll let ya know which show and what my reaction, or lack thereof, is next week.
If you're wondering what the white haze is in the picture above, it's not snow!! By the way people were driving in it, it might as well have been snow. It's the fog/mist that forms in the mountains or creeps up from the ocean in the early AMs, and last night was cold making the mist a bit more thick after the rain the day before. It was beautiful. The picture to the left is what it looks like as you're making the approach. Breath taking scenery going through the pass only to be greeted by the sun on the other end of it and the very blue water off of the PCH. Hahahaha.
Not as much as when I first started the Malibu gig, the Mama and the Papas' California Dreamin starts to play in my head if I'm not playing it on my stereo. Today it just played in my head till my stereo got reception when Fleetwood Mac's Everywhere was playing on one of the beach music stations. I laugh because it's the song that also plays on the POWERBALL commercial of a guy talking about how his day was the same, but then it wasn't! He had won the Lotto. Well, working at the place that I do, with the schedule that I have, and the compensation that I'm generating from taking in all the personal injury people that the office used to turn away is like me winning the Lotto (Relatively speaking). How did it happen? How did I end up in one of the most prestigious places in the world to work as a chiropractic lead at the number one office in the area?! I ask myself this everyday I make the drive over the mountain. I listened. I waited. I perfected more of my craft. I found the peace in things, and I decided to show up in California for a completely different but related reason. Somehow, in the mist of utter failure and personal loss, I believed in me and what the Creator was saying to me through the Universe (Something like that.) and all the events (signs) in my life. Hahahaha.
It's almost unbelievable when I think and talk about it with people. Then again, when I think about my life, my unbelievable life, it was gonna happen to me as long as I did my part as I reluctantly had all along. My part was to show up to see what might happen so that 'life' could happen. Sometimes you just have to show up for life, the people in it, and make it to places with, and in some cases, without them for you to fulfill your part of the plan. You never know what may happen. You don't know if someone else, knowingly or not, needs you to show up so that they are moved in the right direction in their life. You may never know that smiling at someone who maybe on the verge of checking out of life might actually keep them around a little longer so that they can find their own reason to continue on. That's why it's important you show up!!! It's not only is about you, it's also about the people that are connected to you. Enough of that gibber/jabber talk.
Till next week, "Be well. Do good work, and come on back." G. Kieller.
