Pursue Life with New Zeal!

Before
After

Rudy got new parts. On his first run with the replacement equipment, it seemed he zipped across the floor faster.  I imagined him smiling and enjoying his daily obligation. A Fresh Start. A positive outlook.  New Zeal for Life.

Life can tarnish our outlook on life. When that happens we need a bit of new interjected into the mundane and challenging.

I knew a man who felt he should move his family to New Zealand.  He didn't know why.  He just heard in his heart  "move to New Zealand."  His friend suggested : perhaps he was to pursue his current life with new zeal. The man and his family did indeed move to New Zealand.

Rudy reminded me of his friend's observation.  When the routine becomes boring or lackluster, change something up.  Try new parts for a new outlook. Pursue Life with New Zeal.

I hear a new outfit in my future.  Or shoes.  Life looks better in new shoes!

Rudy's Retreat Advice

To you  this photo is mysterious and indecipherable.  To me it was horrifying!  I moved the quilt rack to discover a dust bunnys as big as my fist.  My initial thought-  Rudy failed at his only job.  In reality I had obstructed his access to the corner.  Who knew what "evil" lurked in the corners and edges until it is revealed? Three lessons I learned from the over-sized dust bunny seem fitting advice for today's  life challenges.  (I'm already in Day 11 of my "retreat", as I call the stay at home order.) Be thorough. Move the obstacles to reveal the situation. I blocked Rudy's path.  Rudy's not to blame.  Blame really doesn't minister to the current situations.  History will provide the look back fault finding or maybe not. I'm still looking for the unknown child who spread measles to me as a 25 year old on Christmas vacation.over 40 years ago. Be consistent.  Keep the planned schedule for success. I was guilty o...

A Simple Message

In today’s crazy situation Rudy reminds me to return to simple life, to return home. He sings a happy tune as he arrives at his home base for recharging and refreshing (an empty dust bin). I often interrupt his planned schedule. Rudy always returns to the sanctity of his home. Rudy says: Use this time in life to recharge and refresh. I say: Be safe.

This Still Makes Me Smile

Rudy was still new yet was sleeping on the job.  After a couple of months obediently cleaning the floors  Rudy missed work.  I checked his charge.  Zero.Rudy had run out of energy. I don't have the proper education or mechanical skills to understand an instruction manual.  So I rarely know where the manuals are,  in the rare event I even save them. So  I ask myself, "WWMSD" (What would my son do)?  Search the internet! It's amazing you can ask the internet anything and life with Rudy has proved it.  I'll share more in a later installment of Life with Rudy, my partner in grime! I found a great video which explained the importance of keeping the charging/docking/plate thingys clean.  Checked my plate thingys and AHA , there was evidence of grime.  Rudy  was asleep because of a dirty connection. I can only imagine where he collected the evil grime. I started up the video again to learn how to clean the charging docking...
