I'm happy today...

...because I feel good, I finally found a little girl who I adore (on Facebook) and I've been given a chance to find something that I lost years ago. Add that to the fact that I don't smoke, don't do drugs and cannot abide liquor...and I feel wonderful!

Also, today I FINALLY got my Florida driver's license! There was a slight hitch, they wouldn't put it in my married name because I didn't have my marriage license or my divorce papers but since I had my birth certificate, they put it in my maiden name which is perfectly OK with me. So then I went to the Social Security office to change my name there but they weren't as cooperative so I'm going to have to get my divorce papers anyway. I wanted to get that stuff for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is the fact that I need it to get my passport renewed. Oh well, I can't afford to leave the condo complex, leaving the country is on the list but I'll have to figure that one out later.

I think I'll surprise a man with dinner so I best start cooking. See ya soon...ciao!

Let there be hope

“Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.”

Keep this in mind...

...when you hear people speak ill of others, it is very smart to question their motives. Unfortunately, some people can only make themselves look good by making others look bad. Sadly, family members are not immune to this phenomenon so do not assume that a person who says dreadful things about their own mother is telling the truth.

Why would anyone feel the need to denigrate others? People do not do things for no reason whatsoever. Ask yourself, "What are they trying to accomplish by telling me this?"

If you are one of those troubled people who likes to build yourself up by putting others down, remember that karma is a bitch. I love karma...it takes the onus off of me...I simply wait for life to take it's inevitable turns.

Life is what you make it. If you look at a situation as a miserable one, it obviously is a miserable situation. That is your reality. If you see it as a challenge, an honest mistake or a situation that you can better, then that is exactly what it is.

Find a way to be happy even if that means making another person happy. Imagine what others will say about you if you take life as it comes with class, aplomb and decency. It is ever so much more wonderful than anger, bitterness and holding grudges.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

HI y'all!

Hi. I'm back. I had some work to do on myself and I'm finally coming around. Certain health issues, family issues and bad habits had to be dealt with and I needed to do it alone...for a few reasons, not the least of which was that for a while, I was doing all I could to hold on to reality. It was really freaky. It was also interesting, thought provoking and enlightening. I would find myself thinking that either one of two things had to be true. Either I was losing touch or I was simply the only person on the planet who could see what was actually happening. I've always enjoyed experiencing new things, even a night in the county lock-up was educational in it's own way and I'm glad I got to visit that part of the world, especially because I did my time in hours...not years. So, seeing as I like new things (after all, that's sort of what we're here for, isn't it?), a trip down delusional lane was OK, especially again, since my visit was of such short duration. All told, it was less that 48 hours and it was absolutely fascinating.

But alas, my decision to stay with life as we know it was a matter of necessity because, whether or not my world DOES exist, I can't communicate with it. I wouldn't know how to get to all of the other dimensions although it IS possible that they have tapped into our internet and they are reading this now. In which case, I'd appreciate it if you guys would send me a message...this place, time and dimension sucks. If you refuse me, you simply are NOT the intelligent beings I've imagined that you ust be. I say that because a form of life that totally disregarded the pain of another life form has not yet developed very well. So, it necessarily follows, if you exist at all...YOU SUCK!

We have beings that don't care about the suffering of others but we also have souls like me who don't really know why I should play by the rules out of love for others who are such low life forms that they can't even salve their own pain by forgiving another's human mistakes. A soul that finds solace in causing another person pain is, in my time, place and dimension, a soul headed for a flood of negative energy. Forgiveness truly is for the one doing the forgiving. The forgivee benefits incidentally, but only one who forgives can rise to a higher level of awareness...and that has benefits that far outweigh any risk in one who thinks much of him or herself. We have a name for those who ail to grasp that concept...its' "immature". And don't for a minute think that maturity ends at 30.

 Of course, according to Jaspers, the freest people of all are the insane. That is innately true at so many, if not all, levels.
