Throw Out Of Kilter

The internet gave a few definitions – and then I have applied my own…

·         Kilter:  a state of good health or spirits, or good order

FEELING:  Off working order is a pretty good definition of how I can easily get and when It happens it is very difficult and slow to get anything done.  I usually feel in good health and spirit but especially when I haven’t been working out like I should or when I have been eating too much and just laying around I get thrown “out of whack”

Sometimes it is because I fail to make a plan

Sometimes it is because I fail to follow the plan

Sometimes I blame it on the weather

Sometimes it is because I am just plain lazy or unmotivated

Sometimes it is because of circumstances

Sometimes it is because I did not know what to do

·         Kilter:  in good condition; in working order

PHYSICAL:  It is not only a feeling but also how some of the things I operate work, cars, washing machines, bicycles, motorcycles, really off center.  From a mechanical point of view I really do not have any right to use the term since in am not mechanically minded at all.  How about “out of sync”?

·         Kilter:  Nouns denoting stable states of affairs

SPIRIT:  that reminds me of the noble, royal things that I equate to Spiritual, the Holy, God.  I can easily get “not right” because of sins like: laziness, disobedience, and lack of discipline, no devotion time, not making the most

·         Kilter:  or proper arrangement

MENTAL:  I don’t like to follow the plan, like to do it my own way, do not like to do it the same way twice, do not always see things in proper order.  I do not take notes in any order-kinda of all over the place.  And I could not even remember 4 numbers, the numbers of the hospital room of a staff member for 10 minutes.  “out of sorts”

·         “Off Kilter” a Celtic rock band that play at Epcot Center's Canadian Pavilion in Florida. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfntxAIzgk8  great arrangement of Amazing Grace

MUSIC:  As far as music goes or a song set, when the band is not together, or it is bumpy, which is often probably because they have taken on the characteristics of their leader !!!

·         Origin of Kilter: 1630–40;  var. of dial. kelter  

some say that the phrase has been evolved from the word Scottish 'kilt'.   It is said that the person who is wearing the kilt should not wear anything inside. And if the kilt is out of his body, you yourself can imagine that in what kind of embarrassing situation the person is facing;

FAMILY:  I’ve always like many Scottish things and thought my family might have come from their although my brothers research says England.
