Pay ATTENTION to YOUR OWN BUSINESS

     What SOMEONE ELSE THINKS is WHAT THEY THINK ..... REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU THINK.

     What SOMEONE ELSE FEELS is WHAT THEY FEEL.... REGARDLESS of HOW YOU FEEL about it.

    What makes SOMEONE ELSE HAPPY is what MAKES THEM HAPPY..... REGARDLESS if it DOESN'T MAKE YOU HAPPY OR NOT.

   Because LIFE is NOT ALL ABOUT YOU all the TIME.... YOU DO YOU..... and LET THEM DO THEM.

    Which is WHY.....IF IT MAKES YOU HAPPY.....then WHO CARES WHAT ANYONE ELSE THINKS....

   ALWAYS REMEMBER that as long as it MAKES YOU HAPPY and IT DOESN'T HURT ANYONE ELSE....THEN...JUST DO IT.

   😃....DON'T WORRY....BE HAPPY.

   

    

     

    

The ENDLESS STREAM OF THOUGHTS is....... ENDLESS

     Have you ever been UNABLE TO SLEEP because you couldn't STOP THINKING about STUPID IRRELEVANT THINGS?

    Have you ever been UNABLE TO MAKE A DECISION because you couldn't THINK CLEARLY because you couldn't STOP THINKING about STUPID IRRELEVANT THINGS?

   Have you ever been UNABLE TO GET MOTIVATED because you couldn't STOP THINKING about..........ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that you NEEDED TO DO...... to the point where you became PHYSICALLY EXHAUSTED by OVERTHINKING ABOUT IT?

    Our minds have an ENDLESS STREAM OF THOUGHTS trying to GRAB OUR ATTENTION.

    ONE THOUGHT AT A TIME you have to take those STUPID IRRELEVANT THOUGHTS and JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind!

    Tomorrow is ALL ABOUT THINKING about what you are THANKFUL FOR and being THANKFUL that you are ALIVE to ENJOY THANKSGIVING with EVERYONE.

     Happy THANKSGIVING 🦃 

    

    

Don't let being STRESSED....STRESS you out

    When throughout the year I find myself starting to get FRUSTRATED over LITTLE THINGS I have to STOP and RELAX for a SECOND.

    I have to REMIND myself NOT TO SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF.

    Because if you DON'T JUST FLUSH IT quickly it can really BECOME VERY STRESSFUL.

    As I was putting up my Christmas tree ornaments I suddenly LOST MY GRIP and the ORNAMENT I was holding fell to the ground and BROKE.

     I had to STOP and take a DEEP BREATH and remember that to stay in a HOLLY JOLLY MOOD I had to just CLEAN IT UP and JUST FLUSH IT out of my mind.

     I had to be THANKFUL that ONLY ONE BROKE and I DIDN'T BREAK the ENTIRE BOX OF ORNAMENTS.

    I had to KEEP GOING UP AND DOWN the LADDER because I had to KEEP our CHRISTMAS TREE on TOP of the TABLE to prevent OUR PUPPY from destroying all the ORNAMENTS. 

    So LOSING ONLY ONE was a whole lot better than LOSING MY TREASURED ORNAMENTS I have been COLLECTING FOR DECADES.

    But BREAKING that ONE ORNAMENT made me DECIDE that there were a FEW SPECIAL BREAKABLE ORNAMENTS that I would JUST KEEP SAFE by DISPLAYING them on my SHELF instead.

    Because like they say.... If you SEE TROUBLE COMING.... GET OUT OF IT'S WAY to AVOID THE TROUBLE.

   Wishing HAPPY HOLIDAYS to EVERYONE from my family to your family.

    

No we won't be coming for THANKSGIVING may not be what you want to hear but....

    It looks like HALF of MY family will be going out of town to CELEBRATE Thanksgiving.

    At first WE DEBATED on whether we should STILL have a big Thanksgiving Feast but....

    In the end We have DECIDED that we STILL WANTED to have all the TRADITIONAL FAVORITES.

    We just had to remember that we didn't NEED to make ENOUGH to feed an ARMY, we just NEEDED ENOUGH to Feed a HANDFUL OF PEOPLE.

     It WON'T be the same without all the GRANDKIDS but we can still have a THANKSGIVING FEAST to ENJOY EATING.

    As the FAMILIES grow older they start their OWN TRADITIONS for the HOLIDAYS SO.... 

    We will just have to START PLANNING on CELEBRATING a FEW DAYS BEFORE the ACTUAL HOLIDAY for now on.

    It doesn't matter WHAT ACTUAL DAY you CELEBRATE THE HOLIDAYS TOGETHER as long as you are able to CELEBRATE THEM TOGETHER.

   LIFE is always CHANGING and you have to ADJUST to the CHANGES to ENJOY LIFE WHILE YOU ARE LIVING IT.

     

   

Sometimes you have to ADJUST as you go

     When LIFE drops a BOULDER on your LIFE'S JOURNEY that BLOCKS YOUR PATH.... just WALK AROUND IT and STAY ON TRACK.

     When things CHANGE.... You will just have to MAKE the NECESSARY CHANGES in order to STAY ON TRACK.

     The ROLLERCOASTER OF LIFE is full of CHALLENGES that you will have to FIND a way to CONQUER in order to STAY ON TRACK.

    Sometimes you will have to BEND LIKE A PRETZEL to MANEUVER your way through the OBSTACLES just to STAY ON TRACK.

    LIFE is a JOURNEY and YOUR JOURNEY will take MAKING ADJUSTMENTS as you go on your JOURNEY to STAY ON TRACK, THAT'S JUST LIFE.

     Your ABILITY to TWIST AND TURN to STAY ON TRACK will give you the ABILITY to ENJOY EVERYDAY on your LIFE'S JOURNEY while you are LIVING IT.

     When the GOING GETS TOUGH you will just have to DIG DOWN DEEP INSIDE YOURSELF to get through the TOUGH TIMES.

     I WISH I could tell you that LIFE WAS EASY but the TRUTH IS that IT ISN'T.

     There will be MOMENTS when you will have to face TOUGH TIMES, THAT'S JUST LIFE.

      But I can tell you that to ENJOY LIFE you have to ENJOY IT while you are LIVING IT because WE ONLY HAVE THE TIME WE HAVE to ENJOY EVERY MOMENT WE DO HAVE.

    

Do you honestly THINK they even REMEMBER?

     Do you really THINK that they even REMEMBER the NEGATIVE words that they said to you?

     I have seen people REMAIN IMMOBILIZED for  YEARS because someone said something HURTFUL to them YEARS AGO.

     They need to take those NEGATIVE THOUGHTS and JUST FLUSH IT out of their MIND and get moving forward.

     I GUARANTEE you that those who have HURT you DON'T EVEN REMEMBER saying it and YOU DEFINITELY SHOULDN'T keep it FRESH ON YOUR MIND.

    Don't let NEGATIVE EXPERIENCES from your past STINK UP your TODAYS..... JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind.

     If you want PEACE OF MIND you have to take all the NEGATIVE CRAP that HAPPENS while you are on your LIFE'S JOURNEY and.....JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind so PEACE OF MIND has ROOM to GET IN. 

    EVERYONE of us ONLY have the TIME we have which is WHY we ALL need to ENJOY EVERY MOMENT of the TIME we have.

    

     

Not everyone likes the COLOR Blue but you can still like the COLOR BLUE

     You can still ENJOY going OUT TO EAT with your friend that is a VEGETARIAN.... just DON'T try to make them eat any MEAT.

     You might not have CHOSEN to BUY a BLUE CAR....but you can still ENJOY RIDING around with your FRIEND in THEIR new BLUE CAR.

    You may CHOOSE to CELEBRATE things that other people CHOOSE NOT to CELEBRATE, it's YOUR CHOICE.

    INSTEAD of getting ANGRY because someone THINKS DIFFERENTLY than YOU DO.... BE THANKFUL that EVERYONE has the RIGHT to THINK DIFFERENTLY.

    If you want to have the FREEDOM to BE YOU.....THEN.....You have to RESPECT that everyone has the FREEDOM to BE THEMSELVES.

    In the GOOD OLD DAYS we didn't FIGHT with EACH OTHER just because we had a DIFFERENCE IN OPINIONS....we just ENJOYED spending time with EACH OTHER.

   Nowadays we have SO MANY SUBJECTS that we CAN'T TALK ABOUT because of OUR DIFFERENCES IN OPINIONS that there are a lot of MOMENTS OF AWKWARD SILENCE.

     If we were ALL THE SAME..... LIFE would be pretty BORING. 

     

    

    

BELIEVING it is TRUE makes it TRUE TO YOU

    If you BELIEVE it is TRUE.... then you will REACT to it AS IF it is TRUE.

    Your THOUGHTS are the REALITY that you will LIVE IN whether it is TRUE REALITY OR NOT.

    If you can CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS......then you can CHANGE YOUR REALITY.

    Which is WHY you need to get ALL the TRUE FACTS because if you BELIEVE it is TRUE......then to you it is TRUE 

     LIFE for you is determined by HOW YOU LOOK AT IT.

    If you see the GLASS HALF FULL......then you can QUENCH YOUR THIRST with YOUR HALF FULL GLASS.

   JUST remind yourself that PETER PAN could only FLY if he THOUGHT HAPPY THOUGHTS.

   CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS and you will CHANGE YOUR REALITY.

Thank a Veteran every time you get to make a CHOICE

    Today we are FREE TO CHOOSE because our VETERANS MADE A CHOICE to FIGHT FOR OUR FREEDOM.

    EVERY DAY that you get to CHOOSE what is best for you and your family is a day  that you should thank a Veteran for giving you that RIGHT TO CHOOSE.

    TODAY we set aside to THANK OUR VETERANS but every day we owe OUR VETERANS THANKS for protecting our RIGHTS TO BE FREE TO CHOOSE.

    WE all KNOW that our FREEDOM WAS NOT FREE, it IS only possible because OUR VETERANS DEDICATED their lives to FIGHTING FOR OUR FREEDOM.

    NOW it is with all my heart that I am saying THANK YOU TO EVERY VETERAN for making FREEDOM POSSIBLE! 

     If you can please donate to TUNNEL TO TOWERS which helps OUR VETERANS have what they need to THANK THEM for their sacrifices to give us OUR FREEDOM.

I have decided it will be a TABLETOP MINI CHRISTMAS TREE this year

     After much debate we have decided to put a MINI CHRISTMAS TREE on top of the desk.

    Our NEW PUPPY made that an OBVIOUS DECISION today when he ate several movie cases and he shredded an entire magazine all within the 30 minutes we were gone.

    I had recently bought some plastic containers with lids on clearance to keep the WRAPPED CHRISTMAS PRESENTS SAFE.

    I am excited about the entire family playing CHRISTMAS GAMES geared so anyone from age 2 to OLD can ENJOY.

    I can not wait to HEAR the LAUGHTER and to FEEL the FUN COMPETITIVE VIBES that will fill the room.

    CHRISTMAS isn't about SPENDING MONEY BUYING GIFTS it's about SPENDING TIME ENJOYING EACH OTHERS COMPANY.

    OUR FAMILY TRADITIONS may be different but they are all the same because they are SIMPLY anything that you do TOGETHER AS A FAMILY.

    

Cooking a THANKSGIVING FEAST takes a lot of PLANNING

     Now that Halloween is behind us it's TIME to START PLANNING what you are going to have for your THANKSGIVING FEAST.

    The COST OF GROCERIES may be the BIGGEST FACTOR on what you can AFFORD to have not what you WOULD HAVE if you COULD AFFORD IT.

    So I will make a LIST and LET the SALES at the STORES DICTATE just what will STAY ON THAT LIST.

    Obviously I will have to buy a TURKEY because it WOULDN'T be THANKSGIVING WITHOUT A TURKEY.

     I have a FEW STAPLE ITEMS in my PANTRY ALREADY and TOMORROW I will START LOOKING for the SALES at the GROCERY STORES.

     LUCKILY the HURRICANE SEASON is ending and the HURRICANE SUPPLIES can now be EATEN and that will SAVE on my GROCERY BILLS from now until THANKSGIVING.

     DON'T HESITATE when your Guest ask if they can BRING ANYTHING you SAY YES THIS YEAR.

     TOGETHER our THANKSGIVING FEAST will be AWESOME LIKE ALWAYS and LIKE ALWAYS I will need a NAP after eating.

     Instead of five DESSERTS I have ALREADY DECIDED that THREE DESSERTS is PERFECTLY GOOD after I FEAST ON THANKSGIVING DINNER.

    IT DOESN'T MEAN that we WON'T have a GIANT THANKSGIVING FEAST it just means LESS LEFTOVERS.

    

WHEN YOU GET 'R DONE then you can RELAX

      Have you heard the phrase.... WHISTLE while you WORK?

      If it is something that you HAVE TO GET DONE then JUST DO IT and GET 'R DONE instead of WASTING YOUR ENERGY and giving yourself a HEADACHE from complaining so much about IT!

     When you start LISTING all the REASONS WHY you DREAD DOING IT you become EXHAUSTED and get so IMMOBILIZED that you DON'T GET ANYTHING DONE.

     You can spend an ENTIRE WEEK complaining EVERYDAY that you EVEN HAVE TO DO IT instead of JUST TAKING FIVE MINUTES on Monday so you can RELAX the rest of the WEEK after you DO IT.

     When you start WORRYING or COMPLAINING..... just STOP ALL the NOISE and JUST DO IT so you can GET 'R DONE!

     That is the ONLY WAY that you can finally JUST FLUSH IT out of your MIND so PEACE OF MIND will have ROOM to GET IN.

    JUST DO IT AND GET 'R DONE 👍 

How are you doing today?

    How often does someone ask you how are you doing today?

   How often do you ask someone how they are doing today?

    How often has someone told you how THANKFUL they were for something that you had done?

    When was the last time you were THANKFUL for something that someone had done for you? 

    Did you tell them THANK YOU for what they did for you?

    You SET the TONE of the CONVERSATION before you ever SAY ONE WORD.

    How often have you walked into a room and you could feel the ENERGY in the room instantly?

    When you walk into a room what KIND of ENERGY do you bring with you?

     When you FEEL IT INSIDE YOUR MIND then your ENERGY is FELT the moment you arrive.

      REMEMBER.......DON'T WORRY BE HAPPY and PASS IT ON.
