Find someone

you admire, and be like them.  I tend to get upset by people who are behaving in a manner which is disgusting to me.  It has been happening a lot lately, especially in politics.  What would happen if I found someone who was living their life in a positive, loving, open, spiritual manner, and modeled my life and thoughts after them.  I know my blood pressure would go down, my anger would dissipate, and I would feel calm.  If this happens to me, what would happen if we all tried this.......

Let's hear it for Wells Fargo

These fine people realize that a child needs loving parents.  There are all kinds of loving parents, mom and mom, dad and dad, mom and dad.  How dare anyone  who says they are a good christian, suggest boycotting W. F.  And we wonder why we question so many actions of the people who are so intolerant.  EVERY CHILD DESERVES LOVING PARENTS and if you have a soul at all, you would know that.  

A novel idea

Morning after morning, I awake at the first dawn.  It is getting light pretty early, and I haven't gotten all the darkening shades up yet.  I just resist it!  The problem is, I wake up at 4:30!!!! Morning after morning, I tell myself it is just to early to get up, but not today.  It has been so hot, it is even hot after dark and my plants who need attention have been moaning and groaning.  So, today, I sprung out of bed, made coffee, finished reading a book I started 3 weeks ago, and went out to see if I could get them to sing!  Lo and behold, all it took was some water, dirt, and new pots to get a symphony going.  I have dirt all over me, there is a mess on the back porch, and I am on my second cup of coffee, but I feel like a million!  So do they!!!  YEAH! It is 9 A.M.! Now I will schedule my 1 P.M. nap. Zzzzz U!

Thank you for all your support!

We must have some cat lovers out there.  We could feel the loving energy sent to us when C@boy was so sick.  I am pleased to announce that he seems to be back to his "old!" self today, doing all the things he normally does in this oppressive  heat.  So, once again, we could feel the love, and the fact that it heals is sitting on my lap and purring as this posts.

If we

live well and love well, our lives will have been a success.  Sounds sort of simplistic, doesn't it.  Living well takes some work.  I am not necessarily talking about being wealthy (although that might be fun,)  I am talking about wealth of spirit.  If we honor our fellow humans by treating them as we want to be treated, and treat our Mother Earth the way she deserves to be treated, then we are well on the way to loving well as well. (say that 5 times fast!)  Things are just things.  Happiness starts within us. So, for today, and continuing, let's live and love to the best of our ability.  Then we can watch the world change in all the right ways. 

Everything isn't always

always as it appears!  My plant that wouldn't bloom, took 4 months to bloom.  All I had to do was love and care for it.  My C@boy was very sick and I thought he was leaving.  Today, he seems much better.  All I had to do was let him be and love him.  ( I am not deluded, I know he is getting really old)  I thought I had lost a book I really needed to find.  All I had to do was quit worrying and just find it.  I did. It showed up in an unlikely place.  I finally got off level 85 of "Two Dots!"  I thought I would never get past those awful fires!  The point is, I need to not do so much pre-determining!  I don't know about you, but it works out better, when I don't.  

At the end of the day...

and after being grateful for all you have, empty your mind.  This is another thing that takes some practice, but, you will sleep like a baby.  Actually, it is good to empty your mind more than once a day.  I am getting better at this. There is so much chaos and busy-ness, we need to honor ourselves in this way.  Try it, you'll like it.
