Do the Lighten Up...

I’m a twin…well…sort of…my Mama only gave birth to one baby girl on May 30th…but there are definitely two of me…AKA…Gemini…the twins…
Now I’m not one of those people who lives my life by my horoscope…although I do admit I enjoy reading them…believing the ones I like…and discounting the ones I don’t…but…for the most part the personality characteristics of the twins fits me to a tee…
However…unlike some Gemini’s…I tend to have a deep side…one that gets very serious…and down to the nitty-gritty of things…it’s just that I can’t stand to be that deep for very long…so I have to make it funny…or at least fun…
I think that’s why I love having Bertha around so much…she allows me to take some really deep philosophical and spiritual truths…truths that I love learning and practicing…and reduce them to frivolities…I get to think and play at the same time…and it just doesn’t get any better than that…
I have often wished that I was one of the serious writers…giving seven principles for this…eight steps for that…
Then again…I have figured out the Four Keys for Getting to Work…one to crank the car…one to get into the building…one to get into the main office…and one to get into my office…hmmm...I may be on to something...
Okay...sometimes…I’d love to sound like a serious expert…but I’m not…I’m the one figuring out how seeing a squirrel planting a nut in the marigold pot will have a profound effect on my life…and maybe yours…
Right now…Bertha says I’m getting a little heavy…it’s time to lighten up…I hope she means my mood…and not my derriere…nope…she says it’s both…maybe I should exercise more than my fingers…okay…I’m going…she’s right…a little exercise makes everything lighter…guess I’m not going to the contemplation chair…the squirrel thing will have to wait...
