Steve Jobs – A Dreamer, A Genius, An Inspiration

Posted on

I just spent an hour dealing with a dilemma with the cable company.  An hour, I could have been planting flowers, or talking to a  friend or working on a project to help others.  It was my choice, but sometimes one needs to make better choices than haggling over a broken  electronic device.   Take for example Steve Jobs – a genius who is gone from this planet much too soon.   He led us into the universe of personal laptops, Iphones, Ipads and possibilities.  Jobs was a dreamer who knew how to close the gap between visions seen and visions realized. He will be missed but never forgotten.  He changed the world.

How many of us have dreams we have yet to realize or fulfill?  Dreams – that put into action  may not change the entire world but  that could deeply impact our communities??

Maybe, for awhile at least ,  it’s just best to  tell the cable company , the missing contractor, the arrogant customer service representative  on the phone to STUFF IT!   We’ve all got more important things to do.  Perhaps it is wise we take Steve Jobs ” no excuses” mantra  and get started on realizing our dreams.

Friends

I returned from a visit to my home town to find a poopy Roxie. She gets like that sometimes, unfortunately it is still a lot of work to clean up. She’s better now as I write this but Jean Claude was seemingly concerned. He is a good friend to his fellow feline. In fact the two regularly express gestures and licks of fondness(when Roxie is NOT kicking JC’s behind – ok it is funny to watch as she, a Japanese bobtail is half his size).

Morning Constitutional

When at my house, Roxie and Jean Claude have a morning routine. If I am not up by a certain time Roxie jumps on the bed and gets in my face to wake me up.   After I go through a couple of my own morning rituals, I go downstairs quickly followed by Jean Claude and Roxie who usually stop to take in a little breakfast and then wait for me to open the back porch door so they can go outside.   JC generally likes to go and hang for awhile. When the neighbors let their dogs out and the dogs bark,  he sits in the grass unphased, ocassionally dialouginng with birds.   Roxie of course is well sheself. Of late she’s taken to plopping on  my easy chair in my outdoor sitting room underneath the back porch. Just chillin.

Jean Claude is clearly an environmentalist.   He enjoys going outdoors and he has an affinity for the reuse of paper products, newspapers crumbled in pieces, paper bags  and boxes.  Those products tend to stay around my house probably longer than they should as well CCL’s house for Jean Claude’s use and evaluation.  Roxie will occassionally crawl into a paper bag but usually by mistake.

Cuch in Her World - Paul and Isaiah's House

There is no doubt Jean Claude and Roxie enjoy the fabu life…electronic liter boxes, filtered water and Fancy Feast…travel…multiple residences with great  views, liberal work hours and luxury play items.  They also are very much loved.  My neighbors Paul and Isaiah have a cat too…Cush, always fun and lively who looks very young for her age.  In addition she also takes glucosamine for her joints and  get’s the best grooming possible as she is a very hairy cat  – cats are love – they deserve our best.
