Time to Recalibrate My Life

©2015 James Dacey, Jr. OFS

Hello My Friends,

What’s this all about? Well life has given me something I really never thought I’d have in my life; at least not at 50 years old. What’s that you ask? Down-time, free-time, no reason to pay attention in general to time at all. I like the concept of it, but in the essence of it every single day -I hate it; I’d much rather be working, driving and continuing my career as a successful driver. It’s not really a desire I have down deep inside of me, at least not now in my life. I am hoping in some reasonable amount of time I can regain my health back to full capacity and get those wheels rolling again.

Reflecting back on my latest career which I just alluded to… I really miss driving an 18-wheeler. That was a really fun career. 9 years, 45 states and Canada. I was never pulled over (no tickets), no accidents, no damage to the equipment. My CDL-A (D.A.C. Report) is literally a blank sheet of paper. That first year 2006, I drove almost 90,000 miles in the US and Canada for TMC, it really was a lot of fun, filled with interesting stories that are fun to ponder in my life now. The following 8+ years were a mix of steel delivers with CRST –Ryerson Steele in Lancaster, NY for 2.5 years and then Landair Express of New England out of Rock Tavern, NY for 6+ years; which had me drop and hook trailers covering the entire New England Region (New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Main, New Hampshire, Vermont and Massachusetts). I use to drive 3-500 miles a night.

And yes, I admit… I had my share of stress I know, but then to be honest in full reflection back; most of those Landair years -Chrissy was very ill and I was driving all night and taking care of her all day, so it was very stressful with minimal sleep. So now I am home day in and day out… It’s taken me a long time to even accept this change; I still haven’t fully committed to it as a lifestyle yet. I want my old life back. So here I am 180 day’s home. See what I mean, even worse its 4,320 hours… Saying that alone is tiresome. LOL

Well today for whatever reason I have come to some realizations. Time to Recalibrate My Life, my goals, my desires, my choices that I want to accomplish while I am dealing with so many medical issues. I can’t go full steam with any plan, I tire easily and my overall physical strength right now has weakened, especially my left side that remains numb. I put on some weight and exercise actually hurts. So I figured time to recalibrate… meaning I want to do several things (obviously not all at once) but by doing several things little by little, maybe I can accomplish some of these minor/major goals with this unexpected, hopefully temporary, down time in my life.

So what I have compiled is a list. A list of My Hopes and Dreams. Maybe these ideas might help you stop procrastinating like I always do. To accomplish even one complete thought here will be fantastic. It’s not going to be easy, I know this; but the challenge and the thought of keeping my mind busy is great. Check out my list below, which by the way took a week to very consciously come up with.

My Hopes and Dreams
(My Passions –My Goals)

1.     Minimize My Life of Ownership… What I am talking about here is possessions (stuff). I do this regularly already (I give away and throw away stuff all the time). But now I want to do this beyond intentionally and basically “clean house” of almost every single one of my personal possessions. At the end of this goal, I physically want to own less than a duffle bag of personal items. Clothes are separate from this objective, but I will also be going through all of mine. Possessions have this tendency to keep us prisoners of them; worrying about them being stolen, damaged, lost or stored some place. Not having them… frees up my mind and my time so I can be more creative. I mostly value family photo's, my rosaries and my spiritual library of books.

2.     Writing without Limits or End… This is obvious. Back to my daily writing habits. There was a time in the not too distant past that I use to write every single day. But now I want to really write endlessly without limit in the kinds of projects and the topics. I have several books partially and some completely written – they need to be completed. I have several ideas for columns and syndications and word games – I’d like to purse them. I have 2 plays (Broadway in style) laid out –Time to buckle down and see how I can complete them. I have 2 complete EWTN (show) ideas fully developed in plan of action –Time to see how I can make them happen. I have countless (Movie) ideas, laid out in synopsis form with details and characters, some even in short story form –It would sure be nice to learn how to turn them into Scripts. And so much more. Writing is my one true passion.

3.     Digitize Almost My Entire World… This sort of relates back to #1 … I have many things that can easily be put into digital form. I have done so much already: Movies, music, books, photos, documents, and educational stuff (books, videos, etc.). It is this part of #1 that will make it so easy to dispose of so much stuff. In the end, so much stuff will take up less room than an SD card. I will use our family scanner and my digital camera to build this world. This will be fun and very easy and what an accomplishment it will be once so much has been digitized. Little by little through the years I have been already doing this; I just want to go full steam with this idea and even expand it. Meaning I can attain and own more digital stuff, but in the end it won’t take up virtually any space. Actually it will all be in virtual space. No clutter, no mess, no stuff… See this idea has great potential for all of us.

4.     Organize My Computer Files… I have so much saved on about 2 dozen Flash drives and some on my hard drive. Some are in duplicate and triplicate form. Time to just maybe eventually get a separate large 100 Terabyte plug in; to put ALL my digital items in one central place. It’ll be like one huge room in a tiny little box, holding everything. And I will need to stay more organized as a habit in one place; it’ll be easier than in several places like I do now. My computer runs fast and stays clean and free of viruses; because most of my digital stuff is off my computer. That my friends is a great habit.

5.     Physical Knowledge – Awareness and Nutrition… I have been down this road my whole life. Back in the early 2000’s when we lived in Niagara Falls, I had a Nutrition Blog. But that was in my early days of blogging, so I didn’t and I wasn’t so into it like I am now. I was more into journaling in my notebooks, I enjoyed writing with a pen or pencil, I still do. But I have a huge library of notebooks (I have about 12 crates of notebooks)… Well it’s time to for me to once again focus on my health. What’s my goal? Just like before, to be healthy, filled with tons of energy and to NOT be on any medications, only some vitamins. I will focus on the natural raw food diet I use to be on. My heart doctor already told me, “You have the heart of a 30 year old, strong and very healthy.” Thank God, he said with my 2 strokes had my heart been beat up from alcohol or smoking or both; the results may have been worse. So with starting out with a Strong Healthy Heart, that is where I will begin to get myself back to Optimum Health. I will share it all online as I always have. I would really like to get back on ©Reliv Classic... We use to have 2 smoothies a day with it in it, a truly amazing product that I believe stopped Chrissy's 4 years of suffering. Yes her cancer has returned, but then we haven't had the finances to purchase this since last October..

6.     Expand My Friendship Network… With me already living a virtually worldwide life of travel. I have “friends” and “prayer partners” on every continent now and in most every single country. But I wish to further expand it even more. Through the use of more social networks. But with the intent to take it to the next level of deeper more meaningful friendships. Time on the phone, video chats, etc.

Last Weeks Prayers 9/6-13

©2015 James Dacey, Jr. OFS

9/13/15 SUNDAY -Rosary Man Jim's Reflection/Prayer

Good morning my dear sisters and brothers around the world. Early posting for me. It's been a long week of stress, just sleeping in a little bit. Today's Gospel is Mark 8:27-35 (Peter's Confession About Jesus / 1st Prediction of The Passion) Do you believe that Jesus has power to change and transform your life through the gift of his Holy Spirit?

Dear Jesus, I openly and publicly profess and believe that you are the Christ, the true Son of the living God. Jesus you are my Lord and my Savior. Thank you for making my faith strong and helping me to live in the victory of the cross by rejecting sin and by accepting your will. I have a heavy cross to carry Lord, please bring much needed mercy to our family... AMEN.

9/12/15 SATURDAY -Rosary Man Jim's Reflection/Prayer

The weekend has arrived. Good Morning my dear sisters and brothers. Today I spend the day making my Lasagna. Today's Gospel is Luke 6:43-49 (A Tree is known by its Fruit / The True Foundations) A true person is honest and reliable before God, themselves and their neighbor. What foundation is your life built upon?

Dear Jesus, you are the absolute foundation and source of life and strength for me in my life. Please give me wisdom and strength to live according to your truth only and to reject every other false teaching and way. I wish to be a doer of your word and not a hearer only. My life must continue to always remain with my allegiance fully and completely to you Lord... AMEN.

9/11/15 FRIDAY -Rosary Man Jim's Reflection/Prayer

Good morning my sisters and brothers. Another week has come to a close and our daily prayers continue. 24/7/365 Today's Gospel is Luke 6:39-42 (Judging Others) Let us ask Jesus to flood our hearts with his loving-kindness and mercy that we may only have room for charity, forbearance, and kindness towards others.

"O Father, give us the humility which realizes its ignorance, admits its mistakes, recognizes its need, welcomes advice, accepts rebuke. Help us always to praise rather than to criticize, to sympathize rather than to discourage, to build rather than to destroy, and to think of people at their best rather than at their worst. This we ask for thy name's sake." (Prayer of William Barclay, 20th century)

9/10/15 THURSDAY -Rosary Man Jim's Reflection/Prayer

Good morning my dear precious sisters and brothers. Rain early morning here, it's so beautiful. Today's Gospel is Luke 6:27-38 (Love of Enemies) How can we possibly love those who cause us harm or ill-will? Only the cross of Jesus Christ can free us from the tyranny of hatred, revenge and resentment and gives us the courage to return evil with good.

Dear Jesus, it is your love that brings us freedom and pardon. Please fill me with your Holy Spirit and set my heart free from anger; with your merciful love that nothing makes me lose my temper, rattle my peace, taint my joy or make me bitter towards anyone. This won't be easy Lord towards certain individuals. I pray for your guidance through this in my life... AMEN.

9/09/15 WEDNESDAY -Rosary Man Jim's Reflection/Prayer

Good morning my sisters and brothers. Half way through the week and continuously moving forward in -Our Prayers United. Today's Gospel is Luke 6:20-26 (Sermon On The Mount) Thomas Aquinas said: "No person can live without joy. That is why someone deprived of spiritual joy goes after carnal pleasures."

Dear Jesus, I desire my hunger to be increased for you and I ask that you show me the way that leads to everlasting happiness, peace and joy. Above everything else all I desire is you Lord in the hopes to find perfect joy in doing your will. I wake up each day excited beyond measure, that I will spend my day with you... AMEN.

9/08/15 TUESDAY -Rosary Man Jim's Reflection/Prayer

Good morning my dear sisters and brothers. All of today's prayer postings all have NEW PICTURES. Today we celebrate the birth of Mary. Today's Gospel is Matthew 1:1-16, 18-23 (Mary's Call to Be The Mother of Jesus) Are you willing to trust and obey the Lord as Mary and Joseph did?

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death... Amen. Today let us celebrate the birth of Mary.

9/07/15 MONDAY -Rosary Man Jim's Reflection/Prayers

Good morning my dear precious sisters and brothers. I pray that you had a fantastic weekend. Nothing special happening here. Today's Gospel is Luke 6:6-11 (Debates About The Sabbath) Do you know the joy of the Lord and do you find rest and refreshment in celebrating the Lord's Day?

Dear Jesus, it is in your victory over sin and death on the cross and in your resurrection that gives us the assurance of sharing our eternal rest in heaven with you. I desire my heart to be transformed by your love, so that I may freely serve my neighbor for his good and find joy and refreshment in the celebration of every Sunday as the Lord's Day... AMEN.

We are a Group of …289

Ambassadors of the Rosary

My Friends,

UPDATED LIST for Friday, September 11, 2015.
Every single Friday at Midnight (Eastern Standard Time) I will POST an updated blog, with new names of those joining us and the new mystery each of us will pray on that Friday… Thank you all for joining us. Let us begin this Rosary -as you would begin any Rosary -with The Apostles Creed… then Your Mystery...and end together with the Hail Holy Queen…

THE APOSTLE'S CREED
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified; died, and was buried. He descended into Hell; the third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, seated at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

After you prayed your ONE mystery -finish your Rosary like you normally would any other Rosary…

HAIL HOLY QUEEN
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve: to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!
Leader: Pray for us O Holy Mother of God,
All: That we may be worthy of the promises of Christ. -AMEN

(Optional)
Leader: Let us pray.
All: O God whose only begotten Son by his life, death, and Resurrection has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life; grant we beseech thee, that meditating on these mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!

Benefits of Praying The Rosary

(Given to St. Dominic and Blessed Alan de la Roche)

1. Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall receive powerful graces.

2. I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those who shall recite the Rosary.

3. The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against hell, it will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies

4. It will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God; it will withdraw the hearts of people from the love of the world and its vanities, and will lift them to the desire of eternal things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means.

5. The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall not perish.

6. Whoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying himself to the consideration of its Sacred Mysteries shall never be conquered by misfortune.

7. Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary shall not die without the Sacraments of the Church.

8. Those who are faithful to recite the Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plentitude of His graces; at the moment of death they shall participate in the merits of the Saints in Paradise.

9. I shall deliver from purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary.

10. The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in Heaven.

11. You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the Rosary.

12. All those who propagate the Holy Rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities.

13. I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have for intercessors the entire celestial court during their life and at the hour of death

14. All who recite the Rosary are my children, and brothers and sisters of my only Son, Jesus Christ.

15. Devotion of my Rosary is a great sign of predestination.

Indulgences

from Enchiridion indulgentiarum Recitation of the Marian Rosary (Rosarii marialis recitatio)

An indulgence is the remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sins whose guilt has already been forgiven, a remission, which one of the faithful, properly disposed and under certain definite conditions, can acquire through the Church, which authoritatively dispenses, applying the treasure of the satisfactions of Christ and the Saints.
An indulgence is either PLENARY or PARTIAL, depending upon whether it frees one from the whole or from a part of the temporal punishment due to sin.
This means that one of the faithful who, with at least a contrite heart, performs a work enriched with a partial indulgence, is granted by the power of the Church that same amount of remission of temporal punishment as he has already obtained by the work itself. In other words, the remission is doubled, and that as often as the work prescribed is performed.  A plenary indulgence means a full remission of temporal punishment, provided that several other conditions apply, in addition  to the work performed or prayer said.

A plenary indulgence is granted, if the Rosary is recited in a church or public oratory or in a family group, a religious Community or pious Association; a partial indulgence is granted in other circumstances.

• "Now the Rosary is a certain formula of prayer, which is made up of fifteen decades of "Hail Marys" with an "Our Father" before each decade, and in which the recitation of each decade is accompanied by pious meditation on a particular mystery of our Redemption."(Roman Breviary) The name "Rosary," however, is commonly used in reference to only a third part of the fifteen decades.

The gaining of the plenary indulgence is regulated by the following norms:

• 1) The recitation of a third part only of the Rosary suffices; but the five decades must be recited continuously.
• 2) The vocal recitation must be accompanied by pious meditation on the mysteries.
• 3) In public recitation the mysteries must be announced in the manner customary in the place; for private recitation, however, it suffices if the vocal recitation is accompanied by meditation on the mysteries.

9/03/15 THURSDAY -Rosary Man Jim's Reflection/Prayer

Good Morning my dear sisters and brothers. Stress is a killer to many. Somehow someway we must all reach out to those suffering. Today's Gospel is Luke 5:1-11 (The Call of Simon the Fisherman) Consider this: Do you witness to those around you of the joy of the Gospel? Do you read your bible every single day? Do you hold your bible every single day?

Dear Jesus, please fill my heart with your love and your compassion for those who do not know you or follow you Lord.

Dear Jesus, my heart aches for you, for you have the words of everlasting life that I desire. May I never doubt your saving love and mercy and the power of your word to bring healing, restoration, and freedom from every sin and oppression in my life. We all have challenges Lord. Please help me and everyone in need of more solitude through your love... AMEN.

Dear Jesus, you alone are the fulfillment of all my hopes and my desires. I have noticed on my Spiritual Journey that the Holy Spirit brings me grace, truth, life, and freedom. I feel so incredible with you in my life Lord. Please continue to fill me with the joy of the Gospel and inflame my heart with love and zeal for you and for your will in my life. My life I dedicate to you Lord... AMEN.
