By Mindset Mondays
https://www.facebook.com/david.taylorklaus/videos/10157261031972687/ Episode #135 — The choice is yours. So CHOOSE!

https://www.facebook.com/david.taylorklaus/videos/10157233394432687/ Episode #133 — But I'm a ... The first time I remember my dad, "Dr Poppy," becoming a patient himself, I learned that the old adage "doctors make terrible patients" was uncomfortably true.

By Mindset Mondays
https://www.facebook.com/david.taylorklaus/videos/10157200639787687/ Episode #131 — Daylight is where creation lives. Back-to-back-to-back. That's what my Mondays have looked like for the last many weeks. On a couple of Mondays, that extended into the late evening.

AND ... just because things are serious doesn't mean we must be serious. In fact, should we be only serious we'll likely find our predicaments extended, deepened ... or both. "Necessity…

By Mindset Mondays
https://www.facebook.com/david.taylorklaus/videos/10157153919222687/ Episode #128 — Choose Consciously NO! This is not another rant on "making lemonade out of lemons."
