Open Mind

An innocent, inquiring, open mind is a prerequisite for healthy living. If you are open to new possibilities in your life, then that alone will give you access to those possibilities - readiness is all.
(Deepak Chopra, M.D., in The Color Of Light by Perry Tilleraas, 1 November)

Honesty

Leadership -- of the family, an organization, our society, or even the nation -- erodes and eventually falls apart without honesty and integrity. Honesty is the keystone that holds any organization together.
(Gordon B. Hinckley, Stand A Little Taller, 16 September)

I used the Chrome browser.  On the left side of the bookmark toolbar I have a button labeled Access I use this to store links to applications that I frequently use such as my blogs, Facebook, MS OneDrive, my Wiki and my Google Sites webpages.  I let the list get rather long. When I took a closer look I discovered that some of the folders included links to applications that were also included as standalone links.  Yesterday I created several new folders, moved bookmarks into the appropriate folders and deleted any duplication from each folder. The Access button should work better after the housekeeping.

Present Possibilities

... life has a bitter side, and you have to be prepared to deal with it. (Thomas Moore, Dark Nights Of The Soul, p. 75)

... how do the people who are often undervalued by society find the hope, direction and encouragement they need to fulfill their God-given destinies? (John C. Maxwell, Leadership, 26 January)

The perfectionist, clinging stubbornly to ideas of what life ought to be, often has difficulty grasping the concepts of acceptance and detachment. (after One Day At A Time In Al-Anon, 23 December)

I will examine my own attitudes and activities and face the fact that much of what I do or leave undone - contributes to my distress. (One Day At A Time In Al-Anon, 4 February)

Many people procrastinate making life changes because of fears of disapproval from others. (Doreen Virtue, Ph.D., I'd Change My Life If I Had More Time, p. 77)

Look for fears and limiting beliefs as you'd seek weeds in a garden. Observe them, and then yank them out by the roots! (Doreen Virtue, Ph.D., I'd Change My Life If I Had More Time, p. 80-1)

... honor people and their process even when it looks dysfunctional by your standards. ... Rather than allowing indifference to close your heart and mind to situations and people, learn how to be detached. In this way you will be available to offer what you can, when you can. (Iyanla Vanzant, Until Today! 16 December)

... focus on present possibilities, and be content with today. ( A Gentle Spirit, 19 December)

This morning I inadvertently altered the appearance of my Chrome browser's bookmark bar. At first I was upset. After thinking about what happened for a few minutes I came up with a "fix" that will probably prove better. I created a folder that I labeled, Access which will thus be the left-most (first) folder to appear on the Bookmarks bar. In the Access folder I stored the links to the pages I frequently access like:

• Arrow Prayers
• Mr. Dickie's Blog
• HenthornFamily Wiki
• Facebook
• Gmail
• Wonderpage
• Delicious
• Google Reader

Box.Net

I am not powerless over myself, and the way I act and react. (One Day At A Time in Al-Anon, 25 July)

Yesterday I continued to work on my Box project. I invited more people to use the account. I uploaded at least eight more documents, to add another 134 pages to what was already there. I moved seven individual folders into the Marshall-Wetzel-WV folder. Access can be granted to a single low-level folder or to a parent folder and all the child folders.This will give me more control over how I grant access. I ran into a problem when I wanted to send a invitation to participate. There are several ways to do this and one of them didn't work. After several attempts I was able to find a way that worked. I think I noticed what caused the problem with the way that didn't work.

So far no one, who accepted an invitation, has reported any problems accessing the files. I can see them reviewing and downloading the files. A reviewed document doesn't stay on the reviewer's computer.
