All you can do is LISTEN even when you REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND

     Just because you have no way to actually take care of the circumstances they are facing you can HELP them by LISTENING.

     They may only need a MOMENT to LISTEN TO THEMSELVES as they TELL you their circumstances to be able to UNDERSTAND HOW THEY CAN FIX IT.

     They were just OVERWHELMED by the circumstances that they were facing and COULDN'T THINK CLEARLY enough to FIGURE IT OUT.

     But as they TOLD you they began to ACCEPT the circumstances and then they could JUST FLUSH IT out of their mind and then THEY FIGURED IT OUT.

     They just needed to SAY IT to be able to JUST FLUSH IT so PEACE OF MIND would have ROOM to GET IN.

    Take the TIME TO LISTEN to them so they can be able to JUST FLUSH IT and THINK CLEARLY and they will FIGURE IT OUT on THEIR OWN.

Of course I excitedly waited to see who would WIN SURVIVORS TONIGHT but....

     Every New Season of Shows I ENJOY WATCHING comes on and I spend ALL WEEK EVERY WEEK of the Season predicting the OUTCOME.

      There was a time when the SURVIVORS Show started that I had no interest in WATCHING..... then.....I GOT HOOKED on WATCHING it EVERY Season.

      At first I  saw a bunch of people WHO LIED ON EVERY SHOW. 

      I DIDN'T see why someone WHO LIED TO EVERYONE would possibly DESERVE A MILLION DOLLARS FOR BEING A GOOD LIAR.

      I DIDN'T see why those that were GOOD AT CHALLENGES would DESERVE A MILLION DOLLARS instead of the ALWAYS HONEST PLAYER.

     It TOOK ME FIVE SEASONS before when SURVIVORS WAS ON everyone knew to LEAVE ME ALONE so I COULD WATCH EVERY MINUTE OF IT.

     And I mean EVERY MINUTE OF IT because OUT OF THE BLUE a SIMPLE CONVERSATION can happen QUIETLY 🤫  And it CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING.

      TONIGHT is the Finale of SURVIVORS 50 which was FULL OF ONLY PAST PLAYERS THROUGHOUT the different seasons.

      They let famous people and fans come up with UNIQUE IDEAS that would AFFECT the ENTIRE RULES and it has been an AWESOME 50TH SHOW to ENJOY WATCHING. 

      There are MANY PLAYERS THAT I LOVED that have already had their TORCH SNUFFED but to ALL OF THEM I want to say THANK YOU FOR PLAYING AGAIN FOR US ALL.

     I DON'T  KNOW THEM but they have BROUGHT ME MANY YEARS of FUN AWAY FROM MY REGULAR LIFE.

      And sometimes they BROUGHT ME PEACE OF MIND at a time when I was SURROUNDED BY CHAOS and when I was WATCHING THEM the CHAOS WENT AWAY.

     You ALL DIDN'T WIN SURVIVORS when YOU PLAYED but YOU ALL BROUGHT MILLIONS OF PEOPLE PEACE OF MIND EVERY TIME YOU SHOWED UP ON OUR TELEVISIONS.

     And although it AINT A MILLION DOLLARS....it is MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF SMILES you BROUGHT TO US ALL. 

     THANK YOU ALL and I will see you TONIGHT AT 8:00 TO SEE WHO WON SURVIVORS 50.🤔

      

     

     

I BELIEVE that eventually we know what we want so....CHOOSE WISELY

      You LEARN AS YOU GO through Life but at some point you get older and REALIZE that you have to DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT so that you can WORK YOUR WAY TO GET THERE.

      When you are a young adult you LOOK FORWARD to being ABLE to TRY MANY THINGS and you don't STRESS ABOUT IT you just ENJOY DOING something different.

      When you get a little older you have LEARNED a few things by now so you CONSIDER the GOOD PARTS and the BAD PARTS before you DECIDE if you should do it.

      Once you become a PARENT you have to really THINK about not only the GOOD and BAD PARTS but is it WORTH THE MONEY on a tighter budget.

      Then when you become a Grandparent you ALWAYS CHOOSE what your GRANDKIDS would ENJOY DOING because making your GRANDKIDS HAPPY makes YOU HAPPY.

      You get to CHOOSE but how OLD you are seems to AFFECT YOUR WAY OF THINKING.

      You get to CHOOSE so THINK BEFORE YOU DECIDE because once YOU DO IT then you will have to pay the CONSEQUENCES for WHAT YOU CHOSE TO DO.

      

     

Did you GET MOVING or CONSTANTLY KEEP SCROLLING?

       When I was young CHILDREN WENT OUTSIDE and PLAYED but today they SIT IN THEIR ROOMS ALONE and SCROLL ON THE INTERNET. 

      When I was young EVERY FAMILY MEMBER waited for the WEEKEND NEWSPAPER because EVERYONE LIKED ONE PART OR ANOTHER PART of it.

      But NOWADAYS we are EACH LOST ON OUR PHONES ALONE CLICKING from one thing to another and WHO KNOWS WHAT POPS UP trying to GRAB ANYONE'S ATTENTION.

      I BELIEVE that people KNOW THEY NEED HUMAN TIMES because the INTERNET can KEEP US LOST and WE FORGET TO GROW AS A HUMAN.

     INSTEAD of SCROLLING THROUGH CYBERSPACE I THINK that EVERYONE will eventually MAKE PLANS to MEET UP with a real HUMAN BEING to ENJOY BEING HUMAN with them.

     I THINK SOON.... GOOD OLD BOARD GAMES with OTHER HUMANS will BE COMMON AGAIN.

      INSTEAD of GETTING A TEXT to SAY HELLO SOON.... they will MEET UP IN PERSON to SAY HELLO.

     What do YOU MISS MOST about the GOOD OLD DAYS BEFORE THE INTERNET CAME?

     What BOARD GAME WOULD YOU WANT TO PLAY if someone WOULD PLAY WITH YOU?

     

     

       

The DISTRACTION from the WIND can DISTRACT YOU

      As we were heading outside to leave to do errands I was GREETED BY THE WIND and it GAVE me an INSTANT WAKE UP FEELING.

     And that was definitely a nice start to getting MOTIVATED to get my errands done today.

     I always make a LIST starting from everything that MUST GET DONE being DONE FIRST.

     Too many times if you DONT DO IT FIRST then something always happens that CHANGES WHAT YOU CAN DO at any moment.

    And if you DO WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT FIRST then no matter what happens you at least GOT DONE what was MOST IMPORTANT.

     What YOU DO is UP TO YOU so if YOU CHOOSE TO NOT DO IT then ADMIT that YOU CHOSE NOT TO DO IT FIRST so that is WHY IT ISNT DONE. 

     Your FIRST CHOICE should be WHAT YOU MAKE SURE YOU DO FIRST.

     What do you need DONE FIRST?

     

Usually I get MORE EMAILS just WASTING SPACE then.....

     As I was going through a couple of days of emails that I had ignored I found a FREE COUPLE OF MINUTES of FUN.

     Years ago I had signed up for an ESTATE SALE website that sends you MOSTLY LOCAL ESTATE SALES and a few OUT OF STATE ONES every week.

      I used to LOOK at a FEW but I had not been going to buy more stuff anymore because my house was full.

     But OUT OF THE BLUE I decided to hit the button to SEE pictures of things that were going to be on sale. 

     I used to always go to FLEA MARKETS and it would FEEL like a FAMILY REUNION as I saw objects that REMINDED ME about CHILDHOOD MEMORIES. 

    And as I sat COMFORTABLY in my home I could ENJOY so MANY MEMORIES as the pictures brought up many OLD DAYS. 

     NOW when a email from an ESTATE SALE that I am NOT GOING to POPS UP I don't SEE IT AS ANYTHING but FUN I CAN ENJOY whenever I want to read it. 

     I even get to ENJOY the OUT OF STATE ONES too because I LEARNED that just LOOKING IS FUN.

    WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT that even SOME UNWANTED EMAILS can BE FUN.

    LIFE truly is based on HOW YOU LOOK AT IT.

What are YOU LOOKING FOR?

       You might THINK that everyone KNOWS but the TRUTH is EVERYONE DOESN'T KNOW EVERYTHING.

      If you AREN'T TAUGHT about it then HOW WILL YOU KNOW anything about it?

     If you GET YOUR OPINION based purely on ONE PERSON'S OPINION then do you THINK you KNOW enough about it to HAVE AN OPINION about it?

     Just at least UNDERSTAND that SEEING ONLY ONE SIDE of ANYTHING means that there is a WHOLE OTHER SIDE that you HAVEN'T SEEN. 

     My friend and I were at the SAME PLACE and later when she was DESCRIBING to another friend of ours about what we saw I was SHOCKED.

     Because I SAW IT with her and what I saw was TOTALLY DIFFERENT.

     TEN people can SEE the SAME THING and they EACH CAN SEE SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

     NO ONE was LYING they EACH SAW WHAT THEY SAW because that is WHAT THEY LOOKED AT.

     Did YOU KNOW that WHAT YOU LOOK FOR IS WHAT YOU WILL FIND? 

     If YOU LOOK for something NEGATIVE about today then YOU WILL FIND IT and FEEL NEGATIVE about today.

     If YOU LOOK for something POSITIVE about today then YOU WILL FIND IT and FEEL POSITIVELY about what HAPPENED TODAY.

     I FELT WONDERFUL when my son and I had both been together and WE HAD A REALLY BAD DAY but then HE REMINDED ME that at least we got your phone fixed. 

     HE KNEW that even on a BAD DAY there can be something POSITIVE THAT ALSO HAPPENED TODAY.

     So EVERYTIME YOU FEEL like you had a BAD DAY just STOP.... and JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind then LOOK and FIND SOMETHING POSITIVE that HAPPENED today and SMILE. 😀
