39 Years...

Dear wife,

What can I say,
Thirty nine years is a long time.
I remember when I first saw you.
I was caught up and entangled,
In your dark brown hair and soul when you
Turned around and stared at me for
Those few brief seconds.

You smiled at me and then turned around
And continued your conversation with your friend.
My life was forever changed.
Your eyes sparkled in the morning sun.
You had no idea the power you had over me.

Earth stood still.

When you looked in my eyes and said “I do,”
Or whatever it was that you said I was so happy.
We would love then laugh then love again and again.
So in love. Two silly chirping birds building a nest.

You were the most beautiful pregnant.
Your swollen body was so effervescent of life.
Your belly protruding, announcing, or rather,
Declaring life, declaring expectancy
Apprehension yes, but with promise.

With two children, love, happiness, and stress were all
Jumbled together. Somehow we got through it--I think.
Well the love, happiness, and stress hasn’t stopped.
Our children, whether six or sixty, will always give us
A certain measure of worry. It is what it is.
It continues as with life.

The kids soon found their own journey and left.
It was sad, but then again,
It was just you and me kid.
We stared at each other and fell in love all over again.
The passion exploded. We were kids again.
Silly chirping birds.

Then one day,

The passion eventually and inexplicably gave way to anxiety,
“What’s happening to me,” you pleaded to me with your eyes.
And the anxiety gave way to fear.
I couldn’t solve it. I felt so helpless.
This inability gave way to anger.
I swung with both fists but hit nothing.

Healing eventually came to both of us.
Determination and grace brought back the peace.
And the love.

What can I say.
Thirty nine years is a long time.
Wife, lover, confidant, friend.
No one knows us like us.
I love you wifey. I will always love you.

Previous day High and low:

High: 3487

Low: 3359

Problem areas from previous day trading:

First trade of the day:

Wed 2/22 positioned at 3157. At PL 3167 I set my BE and 20 minutes later was stopped out. The reason for entry was it was coming out of consolidation with the Gold crossing Purple. I believe my stop loss was premature and should have waited for a 15 pip gap before I put in my BE. The next candle went to a high of 3433. An easy 40 pips. However, there was no loss incurred.

Reason for no gain: Premature BE

Second trade of the day:

I did not position any more trades because I misunderstood the rules during a consolidation period. There were a myriad of opportunities. I am now looking forward to consolidation opportunities.

New Format for entering trading

Problem areas from previous day trading:

First trade of the day:

(Describe your trade in detail: Give the entry price and your reason for the entry and the objective for the entry. Give your Take Profit area and the reason for this area. Give your Stop Lose in pip detail and the reason for this stop lose. After the trade is completed give in detail why the trade either worked in your favor or did not work in your favor. And then study that trade to find reason why it went with you or against you and then log it here in this space.)

Second trade of the day:

Give your Stop Lose in pip detail and the reason for this stop lose. After the trade is completed give in detail why the trade either worked in your favor or did not work in your favor.

Place as many daily trades as you need as described above.

It is hoped by March I will be up and running complete with a chart that will follow an account with $250.00 in it. It will give a moment to moment price action on the account as to whether I am making money or not. I will be completely exposed which will subject me to ridicule or glory. I'll take either.

Anyway, I hope this will be enlightening not only for you but me as well. I will be patterning my chart off an excell program I found on the internet that claims "...you too can make one million dollars within a year with $250.00 to start..." What do you think? Pie in the sky? I did and to some degree I still do. But I have experienced the required pip amount to achieve this goal on a few occasions. Anyway, let's see what happens.

By the end of the month, I should have all the links set up to where you can see this amazing feat happen before your very eyes--or not. :)

Blessings,

Taigen

See what my students have to put up with.

Given that our existence on this terrestrial globe is quite finite, let’s determine how many hours you have exhausted presently. If you are male, the average life expectancy is about 75 years or so depending on factors such family heredity, life style choices, and diseases to name a few. If you are a female you could expect about five more years of breathing in and out.

Determine the following:

How many hours can you expect to live on earth? ________________

How many hours have you already consumed? ________________

How many hours have you spent sleeping? ________________

How many hours have you spent eating? ________________

How many hours have you spent studying for school? ________________

How many hours have you spent studying math? :) ________________

What is the percentage of your life that you have already consumed? _______________

Isn’t it interesting that the assemblage of trillions upon trillions of atoms somehow began to amass in such an order so that you became, well you. If we could pick apart ourselves atom by atom, we would soon discover that we would not look much different than the dust that covers our car dashboard. The biblical statement that we were created from dust is not really off base at all.

Of course it is our sincere hope that these atomic structures continue to oblige us by staying in the intricate form that it has from even before our birth, but alas, it is inevitable that there will be a moment in time where these atomic guests will no longer facilitate our existence on earth and begin to, one by one, release themselves from who we came to be and join in on some other cosmic adventure somewhere else in the universe.

Life is short. Enjoy it to its fullest!
