Change
is in the air everywhere, not just in our chaotic climate. From politics on
every level, to attitudes, social mores, and personal introspection … For the times, they are a-changin’.*
Having
a difficult time trying to come to terms with who you are today? Join the crowd. Or rather, don’t … rearrange yourself, along
with your kitchen shelves; or re-color your fashion style and your hair! It’s
time to march to your own drumbeat.
UN-Birthdays are
the perfect time for the 39ers’ Creed:
Reflect ~ Rejoice ~ Rejuvenate!
In
truth, all we have is today … right now … this second. Yesterday is past. We
can’t change it but we can Reflect on
its merits and moments.
Today
is your opportunity to Rejoice in
your existence to this point and for this day.
With
what you learned from Yesterday and your gratefulness for Today, you can look
forward to Tomorrow and Rejuvenate
your spirit with hope for all your Tomorrows to be. Happy UN-Birthday!
39 Years Ago
this Month ~ February 1979
Since
January ended and February began with a planetary phenomenon, we’ll keep it
going with:
February 7th: Beleaguered planet Pluto
normally flies around in the sky a tad further from the sun than Neptune. But a
little wobbly on its axis, from this day in 1979 through February 11, 1999, ol’ Pluto scooched its orbit closer to the sun than
Neptune. Weird, huh?
February 10th: Fun music fact—“Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” (Rod Stewart)
topped radio charts from WLS/Chicago
to KFRC/San
Francisco, for the rest of the Valentine month. Hubba, Hubba.
February 11th: More entertainment titillation—randy Kurt Russell wowed television audiences in forty-three million homes (mostly women), with his dynamic portrayal of Elvis! on ABC. Apparently, he figured that was his crowning TV achievement and made it his last small screen role. Speaking of stars …
February 18: Speaking above of changes—how
‘bout that Climate Change? Does it exist? It did back on this day 39 Years Ago! It SNOWED in the Sahara Desert for half
an hour! And … the white stuff showed up again in December 2016. Not
surprisingly, the Sahara is considered a “hot” potential for solar energy
production. Question: what are “they” waiting for?!
For 39ers who Follow the Stars …
If
you’re a February 39er, the color
gods paint you (and your hair) in a kaleidoscope of hues—early Feb Aquarian Water-bearers (Jan 20-Feb 18), can re-style the palette of
your moods, with turquoise green, bright blue, or purple. Or not so radically,
a “normal” color to freshen your wardrobe and/or hair style for the New Year.
Walking
through the sands of time with Pisces
Fish (Feb 19-Mar 20), all shades of green keep you cool. Which goes
spectacularly with blondes and redheads.
Aging with ATT-i-tude Platitude
Aging is letting go of who you were
yesterday, and coming to terms with who you are today.

Seems we haven’t learned much since Bob Dylan’s 1964 enduring, “The Times They Are A-Changin’.”
