MOVING BEYOND CAPE BOJADOR

The early Portuguese explorers believed that the oceans were impassable below Cape Bojador, a point on the West African coast. When sailors set aside their fears and moved past Cape Bojador, they found that their fears were groundless, that their limitations were imaginary. We all have our own Cape Bojador. We fear things that we need not fear. We draw boundaries around areas of our lives and decide that we can't go past them.

Since we believe these false paradigms, we will stay within their artificial boundaries and lose whatever experiences we might have found outside them. What limits do we set upon ourselves? Have you thought about working on your college degree, but fear getting started? Does a certain rating appeal to you, but others have told you it was unattainable, so you have remained where you are? Advancement or promotion seems so far away that we resign ourselves to our present position and fail to expand our skills and knowledge.

More than 300 years before the time of Christ, Alexander the Great was marching across Asia Minor. He led the greatest army ever put together up to that time. They had conquered every foe. No one could stand up against them. They reached the Himalaya Mountains, and the advance leaders came back to Alexander full of concern and dismay. "We have marched off the map," they said. "We should go back to where we know." And they had literally marched off the known map of that time. Alexander listened to them and then said this: "Mediocre armies always stay within the known areas. The great armies always march off the map."

Making decisions, initiating new relationships, starting projects, taking a leap of faith, all require that we go beyond our Cape Bojador. Are we willing to press on and take the chance of "marching off the map?" Let's go for it! Full speed ahead!

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...a Blessed Lord’s Day to the MacNessa family.

Any dirt time today?

I got all but one errand done today.

[Kathy in Alaska]

God Bless our military men and women who have given their all.

Thanks, unique.

[ConorMacNessa]

A Blessed Lord's Day to you and yours, Kathy!

I did get a little dirt time in this afternoon - supervising the boys in some much needed cleanup. The devastation of last Winter is now fully manifested: I have only two roses left in the Back Garden, Mme. Grégoire Staechelin and Général Jacqueminot.

I started walking at work last week and I'm totally wiped out. Must push on, though - I'm not willing to remain confined to the walker for the rest of my life.

Good evening, Connie, and thank you for LeAnn’s Amazing Grace. *HUGS*

A Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

One day off this weekend?

[Kathy in Alaska]

That’s great about walking...just watch the balance.

Onward!!

Sorry about the winter devastation. Time for a couple new “young” roses?

[AZamericonnie]

A blessed Lord’s day to you & yours as well! *Hugs*

Yes...one day off. Better make the most of it!:-}

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Military Families, for your service to our country.

Thank you, Kathy, for always honoring our troops and their families! It means a lot! (((hugs)))

[ConorMacNessa]

Even with the walker, I almost fell - a rough spot in the pavement on 14th Street. If I had been using the old walker I would certainly have hit the pavement.

I will certainly get replacements for the roses - will probably get only two or three per year, and will probably change placement.

My Hostas have gotten huge - they're carrying the load back there this year.

Thanks, Sand...((HUGS))...and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Looks like some rain every day. Nice!

What does Zeus think about the thunderstorms?

[Arrowhead1952]

Have a Blessed Lord’s Day tomorrow Kathy. (((HUGS))).

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Getting some rest this weekend? Still dry? Seems like thunderstorms are all across the nation.

[SandRat]

Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours Kathy,...((HUGS))

Zeus isn't overjoyed by it, but the thunder and lightning doesn't upset him, he just sits close by I or MrsSr for scratches.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh my goodness!! That is quite a ZOT!!

It IS a landlord issue, right? More apartments than just yours?

Hope you have some place you can go for a shower. Can you cook? Microwave?

How’s Lynn-Dah holding up? Is she confused? Or is just having Mom there make it all ok?

Sending a prayer of peace for your 4th as he visits.
