Upgraded Planet

 


The rules of nature, perhaps includes itself repair. If people started with the insight of hope in our divine cellular structure then there might be less of an artificial aliveness in many of us. Perhaps less depression,  more hope.

Hope, isn't that what we are looking for,  deep down every day in our lives?
If not, it should be.
To take this to a human every day level.  What if we were encouraged to solve our bodily dilemmas without urgency? Instead, perhaps we should have been working on our health before we needed an urgent remedy.

The old saying, "A stitch in time saves nine."  Indeed that saying does hold true.
As much as we are one experiment of one.  The truth still holds that we must adjust our thinking and our living constantly. As much as humans resist change quite often.We people were meant to evolve past our predecessors,  sometimes in leaps and bounds.

When we don't adjust our thinking and thus our living that is how we condemn not only our future,  but the future of those humans arriving after us. Those and that which we have been given responsibility over, so long as our hearts remain beating.

If we took that thought each one of us to heart. We would  have more peace surrounding us. Less disgruntled humans. And we could positively alter our planet.
Picture your best body you had at ages four or five. Even with certain defects it was generally healthy. Now, recall all the synthetic food stuff you ingested. You were warned. Maybe by your parents, your internist, your dentist or perhaps even a friend.

But the advertisements drew you in. Well, we could blame that. It's easy, most do.
Then we are convinced to blame our genetics. Yet we haven't exactly worked on changing our ancestoral habits.  We then also blame age. 

When we get into a medical predicament, we reason all these aforementioned excuses. Then we decide we are owed a pill or two or three, perhaps a surgery. Yet in the end we've not changed a thing. Conversely, we have barely taken responsibility for our predicament. Too, we've added to our dilemma with the lies we tell ourselves and the willingness for the medical field to keep reinventing for us. Because we want to believe it's their responsibility to let us take up space, because we matter.

Funny thing is, if we truly mattered that much and we considered such, we most likely wouldn't be in this predicament of chronic  unhealth. An unhealthy relationship with living is eventually what most of us have.

I've heard coming from people of varying standards... "People feel entitled..." The same people expressing this, thinking this are spewing this as they've willingly deceived themselves as only they are entitled to a health that they didn't earn. And in turn, those same people and  many others will condemn those who truly are attempting to get to their best health through being responsible with proper nutritional habits and outside exercises daily.

The goal of quality living is not longevity,  it's having health where little medical treatment is necessary. I do not eat healthy, and exercise outside regularly to live longer. I do it so my living is productive till my last breathe.  And so that I remain sharp and caring to not only people in my life, but to all that is beneath my feet and beyond the imagination of the stars. My goal is to upgrade the planet with my existence. ---Jody-Lynn Reicher

2023 Holiday Letter from the Reicher's

Well, I didn't think I'd be doing a Holiday Letter this year, but here goes... The Spirit of Norm is in the air. As the wind whips with minus a true snowstorm.  In hopes the Farmers Almanac was correct, I pray to the snow gods. Rain ensued the month of December thus far. We have nearly tripled the amount of rainfall usual for December in New Jersey. And I've witnessed its treachery. Storms such as these hit us hardest in July. Then remained fairly intense through til about early October.  Our daughters are doing well, Thank God.  Their Dad would be proud of them. Our oldest Sarah, now a Junior at UCLA pursuing her degree in Chemical Engineering. She's digging the whole California scene. Which I thought it was for her. She's had some good traveling on her off times from school. For her March 2023 week off, she drove her and a few friends out to Lake Tahoe and went downhill skiing for a first in nearly 5 years. She had to rent the ski equipment.  Funny enough when ...

"It’s the Hardest Thing..."

My friend since 1996, neighbor and pet care person texted back, "It's the hardest thing...". She texted back the morning just hours prior to my decision to have our last pet euthanized. It's not something I'd ever done. Although I've been told I have a killer instinct. Which I've discovered over the past 20 years that would be true. A promoter said that to my fight coach after my first cage fight. The promoter saw the charged smile on my face after I'd just lost to a decision. I am disciplined, so thank God for that. My feeling is we all have that, but not the amount I've discovered I have, and most certainly most do not have the obsessive level of discipline I have had or have. Fast forward to yesterday afternoon holding our bunny for quite sometime before her sedation in a veterinary treatment room.  About 20 minutes later the vet and vet tech arrived finding a spot to inject a sedative into our pet bunny. They said it would take ten minutes, th...

  Finally getting our oldest on the phone. "Mom! Chill! A man faceplanted on the ground. Blood was everywhere. It was so bloody Mom. We helped him."  She continues her hyper mode annoyed I called/texted 6x in one hour when no response was received from them. You know that parenting Mom thingy.  Oldest: "Didn't she tell you? We're doing pictures near sunset." She remarked, annoyed. Me/Mom: "Oh. Wow. Okay. And Thank you for being kind."  That's what I was reduced to. Hours later... Youngest explains now in my hotel room. Me/Mom: "So, what happened?" Youngest: "Mom, I thought he was like praying. He was laying facedown." Me/Mom: "Oh. Did it just happen?" Youngest: "People were passing by. But we didn't see the faceplant. As I approached, I realized he wasn't praying... you know like some religions do at certain times." Me thinking... I guess that ten years in the morning of teaching the kids religi...
