This and That
Turtle’s Ponderings
November Full Moon:
Mercury has its year’s-best morning showing during the first 24 days of the month. It’s bright in the predawn east, but it can’t approach the dazzle of higher-up Venus. The crescent Moon has a close encounter with Venus on the 5th, then floats below Mercury on the 8th, 40 minutes before sunrise. With its orbit temporarily more oval than usual, the Moon is at its farthest distance of the year—about 252,705 miles—on the 9th. A week later, Saturn makes a comeback and rises by 1:00 a.m. The big story is Mars, now brightening rapidly in Gemini and rising by 8:30 p.m at midmonth. The evening sky finds Jupiter sinking; it’s conspicuous early in the month but very low by Thanksgiving.
Full Moon Names for November: Full Frost Moon
December Full Moon
The Geminid meteors will be best after the Moon sets on the evening of December 13. Venus loses some of its height and dazzle in the predawn sky but remains prominent. The headliner is Mars, retrograding in Gemini, arriving at its closest and brightest of the year on the 18th and at opposition on the 24th. Mars is exceptionally high up at midnight, not far from the zenith. The year’s 13th full Moon rises on the 23rd at sunset, right next to Mars, making a striking sight. Winter begins with the solstice on the 22nd, at 1:08 a.m., although the year’s earliest sunset occurs two weeks earlier.
Full Moon Names for December: Full Long Nights Moon

The 7 Most Important Subjects Never Taught in School
by Kevin Michael Kiley
This article briefly describes the 7 areas of life to which
we should pay constant attention. Having ideals in these 7
areas and learning to move toward those ideals in a regular
and balanced way can provide a powerful sense of meaning
and purpose. This article is meant to help you see this
more simply and clearly. These 7 areas are outlined below.Life is actually very simple. The hard part is allowing it
to be that way.QUIET TIME 101The most basic, essential ingredient in a happy and
successful life is the habit of regular quiet time. Yet
how many people have made the continued development of this
habit a daily priority? People who put this time above
the urgency of more mundane needs inevitably develop more
peace and love and joy within. How important is the
mastery of this subject to you?EXERCISE 101A habit of daily exercise supports physical well-being. Is
your routine designed to nurture a body that is balanced,
flexible, and strong? Is your routine designed to develop
a body with outstanding cardiovascular endurance? Is your
routine something you can enjoy for a lifetime? Establish
the habit of daily exercise because your body truly is your
temple.
EATING 101
Eating habits often reflect the family in which we were
raised. Did we learn to say grace? Were healthy fruits
and vegetables prepared with lots of love? Or did we learn
to gobble cookies in order to ease excessive anxiety? Why
we eat, what we eat, and how we eat are intimately related
to physical, material, and spiritual well-being.
VOCATION 101
Serve others in a way that is deeply fulfilling.
Experiment until discovering work that suits your natural
inclinations. From there, continuously develop to be the
very best that you can be, and never stop growing in your
field of choice. When we marry natural abilities with the
discipline of intelligent effort, we do more than earn a
living – we learn to practice work as a type of sacred play.
RECREATION 101
Spontaneity is a must! Isn’t it rejuvenating to wander in
a new place or to engage in conversation with a new face?
Isn’t it wonderful to allow ourselves to learn something
new for no apparent reason? A game of catch can take us
away from difficult problems and magically make way for
surprise solutions. Have you learned how to make time for
recreation in a balanced way?
RELATIONSHIPS 101
Relationships with others are a reflection of relationship
with Self. Isn’t that an incredibly important subject to
constantly explore? Learn to use the language of
self-responsibility and make a study of your life. Develop
superior communication skills and establish a truly
interdependent personality. In relationships, each
individual’s unique life journey comes alive.
SLEEP 101
Most people sleep 6-8 hours each day. That’s a lot of time
dedicated to something most of us don’t think much about!
Deep, regular, and restful sleep can be learned. For some
it’s natural, but for others it requires practice. Either
way, healthy sleeping habits are extremely beneficial and
unhealthy ones can be a symptom of illness. What are your
sleeping habits saying about you?
The importance of these life “subjects” must be
acknowledged. They are foundational. Do you have an
ultimate ideal in mind in each of these areas? Are you
working toward those ideals in a balanced, consistent, and
determined way? Doing so creates deep meaning and purpose
that last a lifetime. What are you waiting for?!

Aww, most of these cats look like they are going to be plotting revenge…some are even attempting to do damage. Only one looks like he/she might possibly be enjoying their bath. http://www.picdumps.com/picdumps-feuchte-muschis-141.htm If I were their owners I would be keeping an eye on them…

I don’t know…is it just me or do other people get the same impression of President George Bush…doesn’t he look like he missed his calling and should have a late night talk show?
Turtle’s Pond-erings
One of these days I will learn to write down some of the stuff I think about. (An edited version I promise! LOL) Something that occured to me the other day, after the worst of the ‘creeping crud’ that is going around and left; wouldn’t it really be the pits if we could literally catch a physical virus from our computers? Ok…I went out on a limb there, but that is the kind of stuff I think about…Scary huh?
There is a video of an adorable baby hamster named Mocha on the website at http://turtlezen.com/videoindex.html
That’s all for now. Until next time…Keep smilin’ and may the Creator hold you in the palm of His hand, and may you float as a feather upon the breath of the Creator.
