Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can
disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you
meet. To make all your friends feel that there is
something in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

Not in loud words but great deeds. To live in faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you.

Just throw up your arms and scream!! My comment on another blog gave me an idea for this one.
Do you let life take you hither and dither? Or do you grab the "bull by the horns and decide your own destiny?
Tell us your success or failure stories.

.................. The quality of our life is a result of the decisions we've made

It's official! I have moved out from my old place into my new room, in a very small apartment. The move took around 40 minutes, all included. That's 40 minutes from pickup to delivery, because we could fit everything in a trailer. My sister's boyfriend helped, and he borrowed his fathers SUV, which meant we could bring everything on the first go, and not do multiple trips.

So now I am unpacking. I am almost finished. All I need to unpack is my clothes, and then I need to find a suitable place for the moving boxes. I am thinking under my bed, since it's tall enough to make them all fit.

I am looking forward to exploring this new city I have moved to. So many places to find, plus I look forward to my mental health being just a little bit better, now that I don't have to walk on eggshells all the time! It's gonna be awesome!

Next up is to schedule a weekly dinner appointment with K. I asked her if she was game for that, which she was. So now we just need to find a day of the week, and when the first dinner appointment (not a dinner date) will be. I am thinking Wednesday, since it's in the middle of the week. It could also be Saturday, which could no doubt involve a movie afterwards.

All I know is this: It's gonna be the BEST. THING. EVER!!!

I'm grateful. Thankful and feel blessed for every breath I take.

Being over the hill is only a state of mind. Our body might be beat, our minds tired, our strength diminish but the reality is, we are capable of steering our mind set against all these negativity and live our lives full of joy and happiness. You're with someone or alone, doesn't matter. Only you, (me) and no one else is in control.

At 71, I feel like I'm still in my 30s. Very strong and very healthy. This is not about bragging, just to share my experience and way of life with the hope that some people can say: "I can do that". That is, if we choose to live on the positive side of life.

Life is short. We have to make the best of whatever life throws at us. I have done this and that. I've been through every imaginable challenge there is. With vigor and hope, I've weathered it all. And here, I'm still breathing, free and healthy.

I can only thank God and all those people that have always been there for me.

Thanks all for your warm wishes and Bill, thank you again.

Remember, the key to a good life isn't ALL about money. This doesn't mean we limit our ethical and moral way of producing goods to afford us the comforts it offers because of money.

Remember, too, its ou content and happy disposition at what we have and be happy.

Simplicity is the key. God Bless all.::heartwings:

Love is all there is. Even our enemies deserve to be loved. Having said that, avoid those that want to harm you. Thank you all again.





Yesterday at Captain's Crab

Two weeks ago after church.

And my breakfast everyday. I mostly eat organic food. Fruits and vegetables and exercise everyday.


Two weeks ago at the gym. Remember to burn all the toxic in our body.

The ancients saw clairvoyant predictive value, Freud saw wish fulfillment, modern neuroscience---processing, storing and consolidation of memories. Look at Spanish cave art, and earlier woman saw hunted animals, and hubbies with those sexy large hands. But I digress. As I continue to evolve away from the chains of childhood traumata, thanks to my hot and brilliant Dr. M, and the art is long, believe me folks, my own dreams seem to be changing. Actually it sort of fits with the four theories as above. Fewer recalled episodes, yet what remain are much more intense. And there's more. As with the one a few weeks ago, where I actually FELT most sensations of being high, VERY high. Only wet dreams, VERY wet, seemed more experienced in the life. This morning, as I dreamed of an old GF, a lovely, decent lady, to whom I was a total crumb, whose new BF and I were inspecting water craft, I was impressed with how decent a (mid Eastern) fellow he was. When Ms. C. returned to the docks, with (real) tears in my eyes, I told her how happy I was for her new life, with such a nice man. But in the really striking part of the reverie, while looking at sails with this fine older man, we got to chatting about the political situation in Iran/Iraq. What wasn't striking was how lucid were his thoughts here. But that it all exactly dovetailed with a morning radio program on short wave, for a short guy, VERY short, which was all COMPLETELTY news to me, until the dream a few hours earlier. And his analysis was spot on, as HE, CC and Red would say. Sure, lots of alternative explanations, similar to those for deja and jamais vue phenomena. Starting to doubt such, though.. Bravo agrees. Grasping for the sacred I Ching. Ever onward, through the fog.

Intelligence is a good thing to have, but IMO,
relying on your instincts and experience will work far better for you in most situations in
...
life.
Of course, being intelligent on any level, wouldn't hurt, either.
...
Train your mind to calm in every storm. Calmness will show your confidence , resilience & experience with dealing in the worst of times ,
Stop getting offended by words .The worse thing you can do is lose control of your own thoughts .

People tend to pay attention to what they already believe. Then they filter out information that doesn’t fit with their opinions & dismiss it .
Tell them what they want to hear
Most of our problems are just minor obstacles that we’ve mentally overblown .
Focus only on the solutions & the issues will vanish.

A small change that can make a major impact on your life : Stop verbalizing negativity ,
Knowing but acting like you do not is self-care .
Acting dumb to avoid argument is wisdom,
In today’s world, everyone’s trying to get a hold of your focus.
Value your focus like you should & do what you need to protect it .
Attention is the new currency so be careful who you give yours to ,
Have faith over fear ! Fear can only control you if you let it in . Have faith & let the good things be your guide.

Let them rage . Win in silence . This has stood the test of time

Just Chill.!!

Womens Day, 5 years ago was when I decided to call it quits with my then husband. A day I'll probably never forget. As years have gone by I've learnt to accept my decision and today still have no regrets. This process was never seen as a problem in my life but a challenge. A challenge I overcame.
As an individual I've grown emotionally, mentally and most of all more stronger spiritually. Today I'm proud to say I've learnt to be a father as well.

To all the singles out there from me to you - don't be afraid to start over it gives you a chance to rebuild something better

The words ''Being Human''.Its something rather interesting isn't it?How in a mater of seconds you go about living your life one way then it changes.How is it that each day we go about the world we are given choices with the thoughts of what makes you happy,is this the right thing to do,what am i to gain or lose from it.The matter of just being you inside a world of other peoples dreams creates a nightmare all by itself.We do not ask to be born but we are and are given choices to what we are to become.How does one single human life live in such a place knowing their told they have control but really they do not.So as you read this ask yourself who are you really and what are you doing with your life.Then clear your mind forgetting everything you ever do with your life and ask yourself who are you really if you were given a blank space to really be who you are.Time is so unforgiving but what creates the single most worst thing to being human is the fear to ''Be You''.I say all this because your living your whole life within a very circle that you yourself never created but were made to think so.What if you were to go outside that circle would you be ready or be so scared you whouldnt want to even thou you could be the real you.

That is something for you my friend to think about...
