Once my lease is up in the summer, I'm putting Washington State to the rear bumper and hitting for Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, or even South Carolina (leaning towards Florida). Minimum wage increases resulting in tax increases, as well as lack of payments of apartment rents by many during Covid has raised the cost of living, has made this place unbearable. Combine that with the migration of the homeless straight from either Oregon or California, and now I have to keep my head on a swivel every time I go outside. Heck, I have to do that at my place of work, which is the mall where vagrants have come inside to make trouble!

It would be nice to have someone come along for the ride, or maybe meet me at that final destination away from the Pacific Northwest.

Aside from that, anyone else wanting to leave the Pacific Northwest/California? If so, why? If not, why not?

I really wonder what schools teach these days. Talk to high school graduates and they have so little knowledge of the past now. I know even when I was in school, only bits of history was taught. And grade after grade the same bits. I started out in a one room school. The teacher tried to teach everything she could because she knew some kids would never go beyond 8th grade, particularly farm boys and girls.
I then went to a 4 room which combined the 4 last one rooms. Again they pushed everything they could because that was how they had been programmed to teach.
High school was boring due to knew it from grade school. Plus I had our library at home and parents taught me too. No book was off limits. Learned to be a prolific reader.
This plague is just one of many that humans went through since civilization began. Many plagues occur in countries that lack basic sanitary living conditions in super dense areas. Problem is now with air travel, too much interaction occurs with those countries. Fly to a foreign country and home before you know you are sick.
People today are too complacent. Go to a buffet. How many wash hands before eating? Then those who do use the same serving utensils everyone who didn't paws. Sit down and eat. I have hand sanitizer I use once at table. I open doors by the most awkward place I can, not the common one. Wear gloves in stores all winter. I view everything as contaminated, even aisles someone just breathed in. So I am well prepared for this new plague.
There is a saying that he who does not learn the history of the past is doomed to repeat it. Most of what occurs in the present has teachings in the past. Parents need to get kids to enjoying history. Then they will know we have been there before. And how to deal with things. Like mom used to say..there is nothing new under the sun. And people need to get over the attitude of not me.

How do you respect somebody who does not respect themselves; therefore, making it likely they do not respect others.

....

My first suspicion, ...help them past that harsh self-inner voice would be a good start. As just read about...this voice is most likely developed from childhood and is most likely not even relevant in adulthood...but it is still something that needs to be addressed in adulthood.


It is a vicious cycle...one feeding the other....making things internally darker in the suffering mind.

By the way...this is a real experience I am tending with as I type this. It is emotionally painful....especially when it is a person that is very close. Something tells me...a lot of this is going on given the recent climate of society and Covid.

People always insinuating negativity towards anything or anybody....
But no matter what you may go through...
Never let your situation or experience affect you or those around you negatively...
No matter how bad the circumstances...
Stay Positive...
Toast to Positivity...

Remind Positive No Matter What!
I Know Is Not Easy to Say That!
Even When Something Horrible Is Happen or has Happen to You!
Is Always Something Positive Will Come Out of It!
Life Is Difficult!
We Have to Be Prepare to Cope!
With Anything Life Through as!
It Will Make as Stronger and Stronger!
Because We Are Still Here!
So Pick Up The Pieces!
and Continue Your Path!
We Are Not the Only One !
It Is All Around as !
"So Please Never Never Loose Hope"[
Thank you!

Press Comment

“Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway is the best self-help book I’ve read. There are no right and wrong decisions, just opportunities for growth. Everyone should read this.”

Our lives are made up of many beliefs
We learn most when we are small
Most of us don’t even realize
How much they affect us all

So many beliefs are ingrained in us
We don’t even realize they are there
Maybe hearing things often as a young child
Or sensing our parents despair

Although we don’t need to dwell on the past
Sometimes it’s helpful to find
Those negative beliefs that are holding us back
By being dominant in our sub-conscious mind

A belief is only a thought we keep thinking
So our beliefs are easy to change
We just change it to a positive thought
Which at first will feel a bit strange

By focusing on the positive thought
And repeating it often each day
Soon you will find your new belief is there
In what you do and in what you say

For instance, one of the most common beliefs
That many of us have taken on
Is the ‘I’m not good enough’ syndrome
It is a belief that is so strong

‘I am good enough just as I am right now’
This new belief will affect your life dramatically
By accepting yourself just as you are
The door opens to abundance, you will soon see

We Always Focus on Every One Else!
But We Forget Our Self!
We Are Important!
People Need Us!!

What Is Your Opinion?

If you don't make changes in your life, you will be non-stop in the same place. And that is a bad feeling, trust me.

Be Kind

Yes, it seems obvious, but it’s easy to get frustrated with someone you love, who doesn’t seem to be getting over “it,” whatever “it” may be. It’s natural to feel yourself losing your temper, when this is something you think you could handle so much better.

Everyone goes through those times, and the best way to ride the rough waves is to endure them. It can be done; your loved one will survive, but he also needs to know it’s okay for him to let himself hurt. He can’t be in such a rush to “get over it” that he tamps the hurt down, where it can fester and make the future even worse.

So remember: Be kind when you’re looking for the
right words of encouragement to one you love. You will find the right thing to say. Just put yourself in their place, and imagine how you’d feel if you were on the receiving end of your words... #Jt
