Good morning, that wonderful way.
Now we're established, how about: 'Good morning, The Wonder Fell Way.'?
Yup.
Tagline. \O/
Hi. Hola. Pick a language Hello. O/
Away we go...
On with our show.
...
Songbirds start, sunlight drips up to show up, traffic on 93 South picks up headed toward Boston to start the week.
Monday, meh. It's only a movement in a symphonic piece called A Week.
A slow draw of orchestral strings for a prelude, a yawn headed for a bring it on daytime you-got-this allegro go-go-go.
How you doin'?
Got your chill I-got-this motif on repeat on?
Good.
Theme, theme, whose got the dream?
"We're row row rowing our boats down it. Remember, Wynn?"
-Creatively Astute Reader
Health.
Feeling stronger today.
More Zip-Pa-Dee in my Doo-Da.
The entries are eclectic.
Sometimes fun fantastic, others philosophical flights, others dreamy fantasy, others personal check-ins, others mush mush hush don't mush too much romantic dances.
We never step in the same river twice; we're always changing, rearranging.
One day sad, another glad to be alive, another amped, another self-satisfied, and on and on...
Variety is the spice of life and you're a whole chef's rack of flavors.
What's your soup of the day today?
Zesty Monday Morning Minestrone here.
Hope all's well.
Take care, cook yourself well, and make wonderful your wonderful day.

Courage

Sunday, April 13, 2025
Good morning, that wonderful way.
Hello. O/
Good to have my letters read you again.
Good to have you read them, too.
Sun's up.
Soft drab white porcelain sky, a sometimes soft rain sky, up high and all around this morning.
On with our show.
...
Oftentimes the difference between being brave and being stupid is whether or not you can stand back up after the fall.
Oftentimes the diagnosis for the cause of death is: Dumb.
Courage comes to me in words this morning.
A curious friend, it wants writing about.
Every story starts with hope, every step of every turn, scroll, or swipe of a page is made possible by a hero's courage.
Hope only floats, only wins the day with courage.
Courage carries Hope to a place called Reality: The summary of every story.
What hope do you have to be courageous about in your life?
Is it time for a new adventure?
Do you continue an old one?
Have you finished an adventure and just been too busy multitasking others to recognize it?
Recognize it today.
Chances are very good you've won so much you never gave yourself credit for.
Give yourself credit.
Treat yourself to a thank you.
If there is something good in your life, your choices put it there.
Thank yourself for your choices.
I thank you for reading me, while I humbly thank myself for the opportunity for you to do so.
To be well enough to share words with you as often as possible, was my hope for so very long.
Good work, Ghos+.
Take care, recognize you're a hero for yourself somehow, and make wonderful your wonderful day.

A True Measure of Health
2025.04.12
Saturday, April 12, 2025
Good morning, that wonderful way.
You Again!
Hey. O/
It's Me Again.
Welcome back.
+he Ghos+ sitting on top of the sunrise, waving hello from afar on this star.
Hot pants... for sure.
Hope you're well.
On with our show.
...
As long as I get to a page and set some words down the day is okay.
My life is my own choice and not some thing's unidentifiable thing.
Words written are my true measure of health.
Not quantity or quality of each sentence, the feeling, free clear feeling, I have while writing them.
I build my life around my ability to share words with you.
I hope you find what you love and build each day to best serve having time to do it.
Life wants you to; I truly believe that.
We have some yearning within, some call to create, that should we choose to listen to, gives us our best life.
It's a feeling.
Like everything is okay and that's a good thing.
Like while you do that thing you love, it is the only thing in the world.
Carpentry, sports, painting, researching, reading, singing, cooking, dancing, caring for children, writing, teaching, computer programming, and on and on...
Whether it's planting the seed, caring for its growth, or harvesting the crop to cook with, each task serves us better based on who we feel and dream ourselves to be.
Find what you love to do. Recognize it by knowing it's work but it doesn't feel like work.
It feels like living.
As simple as drawing a breath is drawing a picture if being an Artist is where your love is.
Following this is the way to a good life, to a good day.
Find what you love to make most, build your day around best serving doing it, take care and make a wonderful, your wonderful, day.

The Answer to Almost Every Academic Test
2025.04.11
Friday, April 11, 2025
Good morning, that wonderful way.
April showers bring superpowers, things that grow…
Like dreams.
Hola. O/
Pick a language Hello. O/
Hope all’s well.
From my ghost to yours, on with our show...
...
Mist almost rain a few hours before sunrise.
There’s a lot to say; there always is.
Everything, anything, never nothing at all, always options to talk about, to write about.
Sometimes we start with a focused idea.
Others just to make sentences, is reason enough.
Here for you, are words for each sunrise, a poet’s thoughts in the time of AI.
A reminder what software is for, to further develop our relationship with Life itself, not to be impressed by our cleverness.
AI is only a record of human memory set to act.
Ideas of yesterdays matched with other ideas of yesterdays to shine light, to offer assistance, to aid us in making our dreams into realities.
Our educational systems must change to adapt to the evolutionary advancement called AI.
What so many classrooms thought they were for, measuring, remembering names, dates and times, formulas for mathematics, and theories for Science; is now obsolete thinking.
A simple search or question to an AI program gives the answer to almost every academic test.
This is a good thing and not an apprehension.
We can now focus on what to use our knowledge for, on how best to apply imagination to our shared understanding of the world, to help make Life more like our dream of Life.
...
Slow light rain continues, the dial on the hose sprayer set to mist/shower.
April rain preps the Earth for Spring sprouts.
Hope your day is worth calling a good one.
Hope more it’s worth great.
Take care and make wonderful your wonderful day.

Some Wind with Moonlight
2025.04.10
Thursday, April 10, 2025
Good morning, that wonderful way.
Welcome back. O/
Another: If-you’re-in-the-Western-Hemisphere-you’re-probably-asleep mornings.
Or: Still awake.
A night owl sings your good morning song.
Hoot or tweet… glad you’re here.
On with our show...
...
Bright moonlight tonight. Abe’s out under it. He finally wooed the squeaky heart out of Princess Pata.
He’s chewing on it in the moonlit Spring grass, lovers in the starlight.
How’s your day?
Moon dreams at noon?
Transition day.
Punto-Period.
Even this early, it’s apparent.
Something in the air, some wind with moonlight in it, a miracle spice in the meal to make it magic.
Do you know it too?
Did you know magic is real?
Now you do.
No more excuses for you.
Weave a spell, say it well, call it a prayer if that helps, let it be there, walk through your day the best you can while all around you your spell, your dream, weaves its make-believe to real and seen.
...
Oh for a morning! Oh for this morning!
Do you ever find yourself singing for no reason?
No.
There’s always a reason for singing.
Even and especially if you don’t know it.
Maybe the world thinks you should be happy.
Maybe she knows you deserve to be.
Maybe every unmeant song sung is a Thank You card from The Earth.
Maybe every unintentional dance step stepped is a postcard invitation to celebrate Life.
Take care, wear some flair, know you’re rare, and make a wonderful day.

Mornings Like These Moments
2025.04.09
Wednesday, April 09, 2025
Good morning, that wonderful way.
Hi. O/
How’s the world around you?
Something new?
Something tried and true?
A little of both, I’m sure.
Thanks for reading.
On with our show.
...
Long sleep, vivid dreams; how about you?
Get up early? Go back to bed?
The Sun comes up on sleepers and go-getters; either way there’s a day everyday, every time, you open your eyes.
Sounds like stating the obvious, but we do at times forget Life is given to us, not as a burden, as a gift.
Make your world worth the recognition that you received a present when that spark so many birthdays ago set you alight to see the light of a new day.
That’s a good way to live: Always in thankful wonder, steps of gratitude to the next task at hand.
It’s only idealistic if you refuse to live it, only a dream if you keep it hidden from your hands.
Been a long time living this writing life kind of dream for me. It’s the only one worthwhile to me.
Through fighting ill most days, through the everyday tasks we share, it’s always here.
Every checklist I ever wrote since my teens had the same task on it: Write.
Finally healthy enough, I set out, not to catch-up, but to spend my days doing what I love most, what was so neglected from having to fight to stay alive just for the chance do so.
It’s important I take moments like this morning to remind myself mornings like these moments spent writing like this were not possible.
Important I congratulate myself for the win.
Thank you again for reading. I hope you found something you love enough to want to have in your life everyday. Hope you’re brave enough to build your life around doing it everyday. Hope the loud of the world doesn’t keep your joys from bringing you joy.
There’s a place for your dreams to be real, but only if you make one, protect it, and like a garden care for it by returning to it and giving it the great care it deserves every chance you allow yourself.
If your worldly success keeps you from your best dreams of yourself, it is not a success; it is someone else’s idea of what a successful life looks like for you.
I do hope you take time out, decide what is truly important to you and build your world a safe, comfortable, encouraging place to see those dreams made real.
That’s my hope for you.
Find your best dream of your life and work to make it something beautiful everyday.
Wake up each day and keep it going.
Take care, feed your dreams (and your dog... Abe wanted me to remind you), work your dreams, congratulate yourself once and awhile while you watch them grow, while you make a wonderful day. O/
+he Ghos+
You!

Good morning, that wonderful way.
Tomorrow!
You made it.
Let’s call it a day.
Which day?
Today, of course.
Welcome Tomorrow to Today. O/
Glad you finally made it to the party.
On with the show...
...
Sun’s up soft happy dreary gardener’s hands for rays of light.
Sometimes the best thing to do is to stay in the bathtub and stew.
Mother Nature’s stew is the sky view this morning.
What’s the nearest window like a cellphone screen say about the world outside?
...
It’s a new video game, a First Person Point of View Epic called: You!
Grab the controller. You! isn’t going to play itself.
An RPG, a MMORPG to be precise.
What job will you choose?
What skills will you go on quests to unlock?
Will you level up with friends or do solo missions?
A little of both is always best.
Saving the world is always done best with others.
What good is a saved world if there’s no one to share it with?
Plunge in hero! Learn as you go.
Everyday is another life, a restart.
Attempt the quest again, or if you finished it start a new one.
You got this.
Research hints and tips from history and press play then press forward.
The map is open world, the quests are yours to choose.
Choose ‘em.
Stack up wins.
Call the cache your life.
Your triumph of the best selling video game of all time called: You!
Take care, level up, and make a wonderful day (after you unlock the quest from the NPC, of course).

Definitely Not an NPC

Good morning, that wonderful way.
Songbirds start, Sun shows over Sleepytown, USA.
Good day. O/
Stretch for the sky, get your coffee or tea on, time for another episode of: Your Life, staring you.
Make it new. There are enough reruns in the world.
Be the main character in your life not a side quest, definitely not an NPC, choose your destiny and go for it.
Steady on hero: You got this.
Queue introduction music… press play… On with our show...
...
How to save The World?
Make your life look and feel like the best dream of your life.
The feeling is the focus; images are details, products of our sentiments.
When the things, the nouns of your day, lift your spirit, bring you comfort and joy; that’s called right living.
Bring that world to you.
It’s always the best you can do,
To always see around you the best you can do.
...
More morning inspiration from +he Ghos+.
Snow in slow countable comfortable flakes falls.
Hold up your umbrella and catch ’em one at a time.
Slow drab weather makes healthy soil.
It’s Spring remember.
I hope this journal brings some peace to your day, raises your own ghostly spirit enough to remind you that you are first and foremost a spirit.
When you move your hand something, that which you are, moves that hand, sparks those electrons in your brain to make that moment happen.
What lights the fire that makes the electricity that makes you move is what you are.
That unseeable, unsensible, so easily recognized thing you call you.
That is your ghost, your gift called ‘a Life.’
Take care, make something beautiful with it, and make a wonderful day.
