You might be BROKE but you can FIND FREE FUN and HAVE FUN

      We all are facing overwhelming prices on everything that we need.

       But unfortunately throughout your LIFE'S JOURNEY there will be times when for a short time prices get higher and times are CHAOTIC.

      Doing what IS RIGHT means even when it is a time of STRUGGLES we DIG DEEP to GET THROUGHT IT with HONESTY. 

      DON'T do ANYTHING when TIMES ARE TOUGH to get through it that YOU SHOULDN'T DO or YOU WILL REGRET IT after the TROUBLES GO AWAY.

      Because eventually the STRUGGLES WILL END and YOU WANT TO BE PROUD about HOW YOU HANDLED IT.

      The other day it was a CHALLENGING DAY but at the END OF THE DAY I was PROUD of HOW I DEALT with the CHALLENGES I FACED.

      People get FRUSTRATED when they ARE BROKE so they can't SPEND MONEY but there are MANY WAYS to HAVE FUN FOR FREE.

     Even just going to a store you can have FUN LOOKING at things FOR FREE.

     You can go to a PARK or go to a FOREST FOR FREE and ENJOY NATURE and BREATHE IN FRESH AIR FOR FREE.

     You can SPEND TIME with your family or friends and ENJOY IT TOTALLY FOR FREE.

     When TIMES ARE TOUGH just STAY STRONG and DO WHAT IS RIGHT because when THINGS GET BETTER YOU WILL BE PROUD of HOW YOU HANDLED IT....and ENJOY the CONSEQUENCES  because of HOW YOU HANDLED IT.

It's UP TO YOU if you can JUST FLUSH IT or NOT... CAN YOU?

      Your brain KNOWS WHAT YOUR MIND TELLS IT.

      You DON'T have a FEELING without A THOUGHT that MAKES YOU FEEL IT in YOUR BRAIN.

       Until you HEAR IT your BRAIN will NEVER KNOW ABOUT IT  but the MINUTE YOUR THOUGHTS TELL THE BRAIN then YOU KNOW.

      You can be having a GREAT TIME then later YOU HEAR about something NEGATIVE that happened and INSTANTLY IT IS a HORRIBLE DAY. 

       But it is UP TO YOU to THINK OF A POSITIVE THOUGHT so you can take the NEGATIVITY and JUST FLUSH IT so the POSITIVE THOUGHT can MAKE YOU SMILE.

     YOUR THOUGHTS are UP TO YOU so when you are FEELING STRESSED ask yourself WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?

      AFTER I COMPLAIN about WHAT NEGATIVE THING happened TODAY I TELL MYSELF about TWO POSITIVE THINGS that happened TODAY.

      Because I WANT to take the NEGATIVITY AWAY so I can HAVE A POSITIVELY HAPPY THOUGHT about MY DAY.

     IT'S UP TO YOU so can you JUST FLUSH IT so PEACE OF MIND has ROOM to GET IN?

     

    

     

     

PAYING ATTENTION means THINKING BEFORE YOU DECIDE

       Of course wherever you go you should ALWAYS RESPECT their RULES so things will remain RESPECTFUL to everyone there.

      But YOU MUST ALSO ALWAYS RESPECT YOUR BOUNDARIES so you will ALWAYS FEEL RESPECTED.

       When you are MAKING PLANS you have to PAY ATTENTION to WHAT IS EXPECTED of you and if YOU DON'T LIKE what is EXPECTED then DON'T GO.

      The only way to BE COMFORTABLE in YOUR OWN SKIN is to BE COMFORTABLE with WHAT YOU DO in the SKIN YOU ARE IN.

      YOUR CHOICES are YOUR CHOICES so BEFORE YOU DECIDE just STOP and THINK about WHAT YOUR ACTIONS will bring.

       Having FUN is FUN as long as what YOU DO FOR FUN won't CAUSE YOUR MIND to SCREAM to REMIND YOU that YOU WILL REGRET IT if YOU DO IT.

      Having FUN is great MEMORIES YOU WILL REMEMBER but there are many things that SOUND FUN but YOU KNOW that YOU WILL REGRET IT IF YOU DO IT.

       So if YOU KNOW THEN DON'T so YOU can at least AVOID WHATEVER TERRIBLE MEMORIES it WOULD HAVE CAUSED YOU.

       Life is FULL OF CHOICES and as long as YOU THINK BEFORE YOU CHOOSE then YOU WILL DO THE BEST YOU COULD POSSIBLY DO. 

       UNFORTUNATELY sometimes we make the WRONG DECISION but OUR MISTAKES are HONEST MISTAKES that WE LEARN FROM with NO REGRETS because we did what WE THOUGHT was BEST FOR US.

      

When you need a reason to find a MOMENT OF PEACE then.....

      We are surrounded by so many NOISES that we get DISTRACTED from OUR THOUGHTS because with all the NOISES we GET DISTRACTED.

      WE all need to FIND A WAY to BLOCK OUT all the NOISES so we can THINK CLEARLY about what is IMPORTANT in OUR LIFE. 

      I have been watching a lot of old informational shows like my Dad used to watch. 

     It made me wander if just like me he was tired of all THE NOISES in life and on the television and just wanted to RELAX for a MOMENT AND have PEACE.

     He didn't have all the SOCIAL MEDIA NOISES but if he did I think that too would be WHY watching informative entertainment was RELAXING as you LEARN because YOU WANT TO TIME.

     When you get OVERWHELMED with TOO MUCH NOISE in your life you NEED to STOP and FIND a QUIET PLACE IN YOUR MIND by BLOCKING THE NOISE.

     Even if your still STUCK in the SAME PLACE as that VERY NOISE you are trying to escape from just remember the LOUDEST VOICE GETS HEARD so TALK to YOURSELF LOUDLY. 

     There isn't ANYONE BUT YOU that CAN IGNORE EVERYONE and DO WHATEVER IS BEST FOR YOU no matter HOW NOISE it is you CAN FIND A QUIET MOMENT TO BREATHE. 

      JUST RELAX AND BREATHE as you take THE NOISE and JUST FLUSH IT and enjoy YOUR PEACE. ✌️

     

      

It is up to you so CHOOSE what is BEST FOR YOU

      Have you ever WANTED TO yet you kept walking away WITHOUT TRYING TO?

     Have you been THINKING about DOING IT yet you CHOOSE to NOT DO IT?

     Have you ever THOUGHT about singing but you NEVER SANG so you have no idea if you are a GOOD SINGER?

     Have you WANTED to HANG OUT with your friends but you NEVER CHOSE to spend time to HANG OUT with them?

      We are all BUSY but we also always have a few moments we COULD DO IT if WE CHOSE TO.

      YOUR CHOICES are YOUR CHOICES and if YOU WANT IT then it is UP TO YOU to FIND TIME TO DO IT.

     I KNEW I had a lot to do but anytime I could SPEND TIME with any of my GRANDKIDS it was more important so everything else could get DONE LATER.

     OUR CHOICES are sometimes LIMITED but WE STILL have CHOICES we CAN MAKE.

     YOU CAN'T have everything but YOU DO HAVE enough to ENJOY WHAT IS IMPORTANT to you so if it is IMPORTANT than make it IMPORTANT TO DO.

Not ONE TOOL can FIX EVERYTHING

      If you want to hang up a painting what TOOL do you need?

      Well I would LOOK for a HAMMER but if I CAN'T FIND ONE I will LOOK for something that is STRONG enough to BANG a nail in the wall.

     You could get SO MAD if you CAN'T FIND the HAMMER that you GET ANGRY and let it CAUSE you to FORGET about hanging the painting. 

     On your LIFE'S JOURNEY there will be many times when you CAN'T FIND the RIGHT TOOL but DON'T GIVE UP.

     Whether you PHYSICALLY or MENTALLY CAN'T FIND the RIGHT TOOL take TIME to FIND ANOTHER TOOL that COULD HELP.

      If it is UP TO YOU to FIND A TOOL so that you WILL GET IT DONE then LOOK in YOUR TOOLBOX.

     Sometimes you need more than a TOOLBOX FULL OF TOOLS to fix stuff PHYSICALLY you will need a TOOLBOX for your MENTAL HEALTH as well.

     When I was ANGRY I got out the new book I had bought to let it HELP ME FORGET about what ANGERED ME.

      But I was SHOCKED that I was so ANGRY that I COULDN'T use that as the RIGHT TOOL because I COULDN'T HEAR the WORDS because I KEPT THINKING about what had ANGERED ME.

      So I put the new book away and DECIDED to go FIND ANOTHER TOOL to TAKE AWAY MY ANGER.

      STOP EXPECTING every TOOL to WORK just DIG IN YOUR TOOLBOX and before you KNOW IT you will FIND a TOOL that WILL WORK.

     JUST KEEP DIGGING in YOUR TOOLBOX that YOU HAVE CONSTANTLY FILLED over your LIFETIME.

     Sometimes GARDENING can be a GOOD TOOL for your MENTAL STRESS and your PHYSICAL FITNESS.

     Because as you WATER IT DAILY you will ENJOY WATCHING IT GROW DAILY and EXERCISE TOO.

     And I also made sure I FILLED MYSELF A TOOLBOX with MANY TYPES OF TOOLS I might need especially a HAMMER.

     If you MENTALLY NEED DISTRACTED you have to ENJOY doing DIFFERENT THINGS until YOU FIND SOMETHING THAT WORKS.

     When reading the new book DIDN'T WORK I then DECIDED to NEXT TRY LOOKING AT AMAZON for CHRISTMAS PRESENTS for my grandkids.

      And that MADE ME SMILE then before I knew it I FORGOT ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE but HOW HAPPY my grandkids would be when they opened it.

    As LONG AS YOU KEEP LOOKING before YOU KNOW IT then YOU WILL FIND the TOOL in your TOOLBOX that YOU NEED.

     

     

LETTING GO takes you to JUST FLUSH IT so you can LET IT GO

      If you keep it FRESH ON YOUR MIND then there is NO ROOM to THINK of anything else. 

      If SOMETHING or SOMEONE HURTS YOU then WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?

      You should always PREVENT ANYTHING or ANYONE from hurting you ever again by KEEPING IT AWAY FROM YOU.

      If YOU KNOW then it DOESN'T MATTER what ANYONE ELSE SAYS it is UP TO YOU to PROTECT YOURSELF. 

      Even if YOU WANT TO if it HURTS YOU then GET AWAY FROM IT so it CAN'T HURT YOU ever again.

     I really enjoyed hanging out with someone who i enjoyed a lot of things about them and had a few happy memories with them.

     But when I REALIZED that they were NOT AN HONEST PERSON then I DECIDED that it was BEST FOR ME if I STOPPED hanging out with them.

      I DIDN'T have to WAIT UNTIL they HURT ME BY THEIR DISHONESTY because I HAD TO PROTECT MYSELF from ever GETTING HURT.

      That ONE MINUTE OF FUN with ANYTHING or ANYONE is NOT WORTH the LIFETIME OF NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES you will have to PAY for that ONE MINUTE.

      You will just have to FIND another way to CREATE MEMORIES with PEOPLE YOU CAN TRUST or enjoy DOING IT ALONE if necessary. 

      STOP SAYING I HAD TO because YOU DON'T HAVE TO.

      There are times when YOU KNOW but YOU IGNORE WHAT YOU KNEW but HOPEFULLY YOU LEARNED along the way to NOT DO IT AGAIN.

     When you want to LET IT GO then decide and JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind to be able to LET IT GO so you can ENJOY your life while you are living it.

    LETTING GO means YOU have to JUST FLUSH IT so you can LET IT GO.
