Where You Place your Bed.

Today's topic and OPEN MINDFUL inspiration is the theme of moving. It is also about the wonderful variety of neighborhoods, city, hill country and urban settings the world has!
Are you OPEN MINDFUL to living, and residing in different neighborhoods? Are you willing to CHANGE where you live, sleep, wake up and yes place your bed?
For example, I lived in the same neighborhood, Hell's Kitchen/Clinton NYC for 5 years. I grew accustomed to the location, neighborhood, subways and city proximity. Once, I almost moved to Brooklyn, yet backed out. I simply could not beat the price, and location of the wonderful apt. It just worked, along with the rooftop view & the skyline, Hudson views were amazing. I tried to trade rooms for a week, with a friend who lived in the LES on Rivington, Lower East Side, but he was grumpy and didn't fancy the swap. Yet, I believe we as humans should always remain OPEN MINDFUL to learning, and discovering new areas.
So what do you think? Are you in a living rut? Have you become overly comfortable where you live? Here's an idea. Do you think where you live changes your lifestyle, personality and lifestyle patterns? For example, would one become more of a bohemian and hipster, if they lived in 78704 or in East Austin? Does someone living in the suburbs and hill country instantly become boring and sedentary? Can couples & families happily live downtown? Where do you live? What is it like? Are you OPEN MINDFUL to changing "where you put your bed"
Think about it, life is short, and perhaps a change will surprise and strengthen your life. You could always just try to boomerang back to your ol' hood if it does not work out.

t I am always living, moving, and waking up to new places for work and a lot of times I feel the impact/vibe of each individual area gives me a different feeling. I take note and even get inspired - and tuck it away in my vision for my own exotic dream situation someday... Maybe the beaches of Australia, or Northern Cali. Could be Southern France, or Austin, TX perhaps:).. Whenever, wherever, whatever it is - I'll create it. Thoughtful post. Thanks!
PS - is that Greece in your picture? Where is that? Pretty!

What does being Open Mindful mean to you???

Image
Liberal and Open Minded to me almost seem to be pseudonyms. I would guess it could be possible to be conservative and open minded, just in my eyes those two ideals seem to be juxtaposed. What in my upbringing and brain, elicits this open minded worldly outlook, and positive, friendly mindset??? It could have either been my parental affluent hippie 60's upbringing or perhaps my University Liberal Arts Education, or yet again my 5 full years of daily life in Manhattan and the mecca that is New York City. What does being Liberal and Open Minded mean to you?? Personally I think of it as being accepting of many different lifestyle choices and varieties. For example, I am pro choice and pro abortion for women before the 2nd trimester. I am pro gay marriage, for both male and female sexes. Being a Free Speech & Born here American, I also believe in the freedom of style, culture, home location, choices in dating, restaurants, music, culture, movies, music and all. Anythi

People and their PETS.

Image
In the style of Jerry Seinfeld, " What's the deal with people and their pets? Dogs especially. What is the mass human attraction to dogs as pets? What in the minds and soul attracts humans to caring for, paying, walking and being an owner for these animals? Please help me understand . I mean, in my humble opinion, the negatives for dogs are, they can't talk with humans. A dog will never be able to speak and converse with their owner. Also they must constantly be cared for, bathed, walked, fed, leashed, cleaned up after and more. What joy do these dogs and animals bring? In addition dogs cause destruction to real estate, & are tough to constantly care for. They also smell and are not universally loved or accepted by guests. Am I not being OPEN MINDFUL to dogs and pets? If so please share their positives for me. I am not perfect, and can recognize mistakes and being wrong. Some perhaps better alternatives to dogs, are, ready, friends, girlfriends, significant o

How are we ENTERTAINED?

DO you like to be entertained? IF your human, most people do and enjoy laughter, muses, lights and more. Just like the Kings and Jesters of yesteryear, in the modern age, we love ENTERTAINMENT too! Are you OPEN MINDFUL to different forms on entertainment? Which are your favorites? For example, off of the top of my head, I can think of books, live music, movies, television, broadway shows, bars & nightclubs, restaurants, stores, shopping malls, stand up comics, vacations, social media, friends, and the such. Am I leaving your favorite form out? Personally, I am open minded to various forms of entertainment. I love tv, live music, and nightlife. Yet, as the entertainment field changes and morphs, could be up for anything fresh? What are your favorite forms? Do you abstain from entertainment? Could this even be possible? In so as fas as an industry, would ENTERTAINMENT be fun to work in? Recently a fellow local Austinite, mentioned, I should try out ACTING for a year. It wa
