Don't EXPECT IT because.....

      You can WORK HARD but you CAN'T EXPECT that you have done EVERYTHING so you will always GET EVERYTHING.

      Because you don't always get EVERYTHING that you WORKED HARD for.

      You can DREAM BIG but you won't always get WHAT you DREAMED FOR.

     LEARN to ENJOY WHATEVER you GET because that may be ALL YOU CAN EXPECT.

     The MOMENT that you EXPECT that you won't always get WHAT YOU EXPECTED then you will BEGIN TO ENJOY WHAT YOU DO HAVE.

       START SPENDING TIME with the ELDERS in your life and they will tell you that they are doing GOOD but they don't have EVERYTHING that they EXPECTED.

       When you are YOUNGER you EXPECT THINGS that in ALL ACTUALITY.....ARE IMPOSSIBLE to ACTUALLY HAVE when YOU are OLDER. 

         THE ELDERS will REMIND YOU that in LIFE as long as you have EVERYTHING THAT YOU NEED then YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT what you DIDN'T GET.    

      STOP EXPECTING EVERYTHING to be PERFECT so YOU CAN ENJOY LIFE while YOU ARE LIVING IT.

What YOU GIVE to OTHERS.....

      EVERY ACT OF KINDNESS will bring A SMILE to ANYONE that RECEIVES YOUR KINDNESS.

      BUT that can ONLY HAPPEN if YOU DO SOMETHING KIND to SOMEONE.

      If you KNOW that all YOU HAVE to GIVE is KIND WORDS then SAY SOMETHING KIND.

      Just LISTENING to SOMEONE can HELP THEM....so take TIME to LISTEN so it CAN HELP THEM.

     YOU may ONLY HAVE a LITTLE to GIVE but that SMALL ACT OF KINDNESS will GIVE THEM A LITTLE BIT OF HELP.

     We all have had a BAD DAY THROUGHOUT LIFE and there was ONE THING THAT HAPPENED that HELPED US SEE the UPSIDE AGAIN.

       YOU DON'T HAVE TO FIX EVERYTHING they NEED..... YOU just NEED to ALWAYS be KIND to EVERYONE that YOU MEET.

      YOU WON'T KNOW WHAT exactly BEING KIND to SOMEONE will do to THEM..... but YOU KNOW HOW GOOD it MADE YOU FEEL when YOU HELPED THEM.

    ALWAYS BE KIND to EVERYONE YOU MEET because you have NO IDEA what THEY may be going through.

      ONCE YOU MAKE THEM SMILE then YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO FEEL ANYTHING BUT BE PROUD of WHAT YOU DID.

      A SMILE says PEACE in ANY LANGUAGE. 😁

     

      

DON'T let your DECISION be based on someone else's OPINION

      In a GROUP OF PEOPLE you will ALWAYS have MANY DIFFERENT KINDS OF OPINIONS and they may NOT EVEN be any OPINION like YOUR OPINION.

      In an ART STUDIO you may NOT LIKE every painting but there will be MANY PEOPLE who DO LIKE that type of ARTWORK.

      In a BUSY WORLD you may NOT NOTICE EVERYTHING because you are TOO BUSY to have TIME TO ENJOY ANYTHING.

     BUSY OR NOT always REMIND YOURSELF that the ONLY OPINION that REALLY MATTERS is YOUR OPINION.

      Because ONLY YOU will have to LIVE WITH the CONSEQUENCES for EVERYTHING THAT YOU CHOOSE TO DO.

      If you WANT SOMETHING then it will be UP TO YOU to FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET IT and then FIND A WAY TO GET IT DONE.

       YOUR ROAD might be LONGER than SOMEONE ELSE'S ROAD but....if you WANT TO GET THERE then FOCUS ON GETTING THERE so YOU WILL GET THERE.

       

In the MORNING you START your DAY

      When you WAKE UP each day make sure you START OFF in a POSITIVE WAY.

      If you WAKE UP each day DREADING IT then you will START OFF with a NEGATIVE ATTITUDE.

      The second you BRUSH YOUR HAIR you FEEL ORGANIZED and READY to START OFF with ORGANIZED CONFIDENCE that TODAY is going to be a POSITIVE DAY.

    The MOMENT you BRUSH YOUR TEETH you FEEL FRESH and you are READY to START the DAY OFF WITH A SMILE.

     If you want to FEEL DRESSED for TODAY you GOT to GET UP and GET DRESSED right away so you will be DRESSED and READY for TODAY.

     To be HONEST about what you CAN ACTUALLY GET DONE TODAY will make sure you are NOT OVERWHELMED with MORE THAN you COULD POSSIBLY DO in a DAY.

     Just WAKING UP EACH DAY is a POSITIVE WAY to START ENJOYING TODAY.... REGARDLESS of what STRUGGLES you may have to STRUGGLE with TODAY.

     TOMORROW when you WAKE UP make sure you ENJOY EVERY MOMENT YOU HAVE.

    

    

PEACE will come ONE PIECE....ONE THOUGHT....ONE PERSON AT A TIME

     If you want PEACE OF MIND you will have to learn how to take all the CHAOS in your life and JUST FLUSH IT..... AS IT COMES.

     Because OTHERWISE..... there WOULDN'T BE ROOM for PEACE OF MIND to GET IN!

     WE ALL face some TYPE of CHAOS during our LIFE'S JOURNEY.

    And just like we ALWAYS DO.... we will ADJUST as WE GO.

    Like the plaque on my wall says....

     I asked God for ALL THINGS that I might ENJOY LIFE. He gave me LIFE so that I might ENJOY ALL THINGS.

     WHAT you LOOK for is EXACTLY WHAT you WILL FIND.

    So..... ALWAYS LOOK for the POSITIVE in EVERY SITUATION and you will SEE WHAT is POSITIVE in EVERY SITUATION.

    YOUR THOUGHTS are UP TO YOU.

     

     

STOP trying to please everyone......

     No matter what you do there will be PLENTY of people who won't like what you have CHOSEN to do.

     So QUIT trying to PLEASE EVERYONE because it ISN'T POSSIBLE to actually do.

     Be YOUR TRUE SELF and you will be PROUD of what you CHOOSE to do.

     If you KEEP CHANGING to PLEASE OTHERS before you KNOW it....you will NEVER KNOW WHO YOU TRULY ARE.

      The more times you CHANGE YOUR MIND to FIT IN..... the more you will LOSE YOURSELF.

      Be the BEST YOU that you CAN BE and you will be the BEST THAT YOU CAN BE.

       If YOU ARE PROUD OF YOURSELF then WHO THE HECK CARES WHAT ANYONE ELSE THINKS about YOU.

      You can EITHER BE.... YOUR WORST ENEMY....OR YOUR BEST CHEERLEADER.

       WE ONLY have the TIME WE HAVE so BE YOURSELF and ENJOY EVERY MOMENT YOU HAVE by BEING the BEST YOU THAT YOU CAN BE.

       

Every TIME you KEEP It on YOUR MIND....

      There are MANY REASONS that some things YOU NEED to JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind.

     Because if you want PEACE OF MIND we have to take the NEGATIVITY and JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind so PEACE OF MIND will have ROOM to GET IN.

    WHY would you CHOOSE to KEEP THINKING ABOUT IT over and over again?

     That MEMORY can BE FLUSHED MANY TIMES and then it can still POP UP AGAIN in your mind trying to GRAB YOUR ATTENTION.

     And AGAIN YOU NEED TO IMMEDIATELY JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind AGAIN AND AGAIN so it CAN'T HURT you AGAIN AND AGAIN.

     You WON'T FORGET about it but you CAN JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind EVERY TIME it tries to become FRESH ON YOUR MIND.

     WE All have had PROBLEMS during our LIFE'S JOURNEY but LUCKILY WE CAN ALL JUST FLUSH IT out of our mind and ENJOY EVERY MOMENT WE CAN.

     

     

ASK them so you will ACTUALLY KNOW

      We were STUCK waiting and we started ASKING EACH OTHER some SILLY THINGS just to OCCUPY the TIME. 

      And THEIR ANSWERS were definitely DIFFERENT then I THOUGHT they would SAY.

      First ASK YOURSELF what is THEIR favorite COLOR and then.... SEE if you KNOW THEIR favorite COLOR.

      Then ASK them what WAS their favorite thing they HAD DONE in THEIR LIFETIME.

      I can ALMOST GUARANTEE that you WON'T KNOW THAT ANSWER but it will be FUN TO LEARN.

     And at some POINT ASK them what is THEIR NEXT MEMORY were they FIXING TO DO SOON.

      Before you END YOUR DAY OUT with them you will definitely KNOW A LOT MORE ABOUT EACH OTHER.

       Before EVERYONE STARTED NON-STOP WATCHING THEIR PHONES.....WE USED TO TALK TO EACH OTHER.

      NOWADAYS you can BARELY KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT EACH OTHER no matter how long you are with them because you NEVER TALKED TO FIND OUT ANYTHING ABOUT EACH OTHER.

     PUT DOWN YOUR PHONES and SPEND TIME WITH EACH OTHER.

Did you just ASK me if I was HOT?

     I don't care WHERE YOU LIVE.....it is EXTREMELY HOT TODAY!

     Every SEASON IS FELT but TODAY, ACTUALLY FOR A WEEK, it's BREAKING RECORDS for BEING HOT!

     We were dealing with some MINOR ISSUES with our AIR CONDITIONER that we were LUCKILY AND THANKFULLY ABLE to FIX IT. 

     Could you IMAGINE having your AIR CONDITIONER STOP WORKING in the MIDDLE OF THESE HEAT WARNINGS?

     We have DECIDED to MAKE SURE we ALWAYS GET A YEARLY CLEANING ON OUR AIR CONDITIONER.

     SO that way WE will ALWAYS have an AIR CONDITIONER that is at least READY as it CAN BE for THE SUMMER HEAT WAVES.

     If you DON'T NEED TO GO OUT.... THEN DON'T..... because it TRULY IS TOO HOT TO BE OUT IN.

     And to the person that just ASKED ME if I was HOT.....YES I AM. 

The ONLY DIFFERENCE may just be......

      You have to THINK ABOUT whether it is something you SHOULD DO.... BEFORE YOU DO IT.

     Otherwise you just might REGRET DOING IT because..... ONCE YOU DO IT....then it IS Already DONE.

     Have you ever REMEMBERED SAYING to YOURSELF that you SHOULDN'T DO IT then..... you STUPIDLY DO IT?

     Your BUILT-IN WARNING SYSTEM is trying to WARN YOU NOT TO DO IT....but there are sometimes when you DON'T LISTEN TO THE WARNING.

     If you ONLY NEED A HALF of IT then DON'T FORCE YOURSELF to OVERDUE YOURSELF by WASTING YOUR TIME UNNECESSARILY WORKING HARDER than you ACTUALLY SHOULD.

     BEING HAPPY takes BEING HAPPY HAVING WHAT YOU NEED and having the TIME TO ENJOY IT.

     There WILL ALWAYS BE NEWER AND BRIGHTER THINGS but if YOU HAVE TO SPEND ALL YOUR TIME EARNING THE MONEY TO PAY FOR IT then....

     You ARE TOO TIRED TO ENJOY ANYTHING THAT YOU HAVE because YOU ARE NEVER HOME TO RELAX AND ENJOY IT AT ALL.

     The SIMPLE LIFE is ENJOYING EVERY MOMENT THAT YOU CAN WHILE YOU ARE ALIVE TO ENJOY ALL THE SIMPLE THINGS IN YOUR LIFE.

Would you DO IT AGAIN TODAY?

      When you are YOUNG you JUST DO IT without taking a SECOND to THINK about WHY YOU SHOULDN'T DO IT.

      When you are YOUNG you LOOK for EXCITING THINGS TO DO without even THINKING about the POSSIBLE DANGERS it COULD cause you.

     Now that I am OLDER I CERTAINLY KNOW that there are MANY THINGS that I DID when I was YOUNGER that I DEFINITELY WOULDN'T DO IT TODAY.

      As I was THINKING about some of the SILLY THINGS that I DID BACK THEN I ASK MYSELF..... WOULD you DO THAT TODAY?

     When I SEE the YOUNGER ONES around ME getting ready to DO SOMETHING that I THINK THEY SHOULDN'T....I CAN'T HELP MYSELF from TELLING them WHY THEY SHOULDN'T DO IT.

      I KNOW I SHOULD JUST LET THEM HAVE FUN while they are YOUNG and THEY TOTALLY IGNORE MY ADVICE and DO IT ANYWAY but HONESTLY I JUST HAVE to at least WARN THEM. 

     When my body hurts I remember just WHEN I HURT myself when I was YOUNGER.

     And YES I was TOLD by some ELDERLY RELATIVES NOT TO DO IT ...but I DID IT and well.... that is WHY MY BODY HURTS STILL TODAY because I DIDN'T LISTEN.

      Now I am that ELDERLY PERSON JUST TRYING to SAVE the YOUNGER ONES from DOING STUFF they DEFINITELY WOULDN'T DO IF THEY WERE ASKED THAT QUESTION WHEN THEY ARE OLDER.

      

     

Just DECIDE WHAT is NECESSARY FIRST then....

    Making a LIST TOO LONG TO DO is ONLY SETTING YOURSELF UP for FAILURE because NO ONE COULD GET ALL of that amount of things done in a SINGLE DAY.

    START by writing what is MOST IMPORTANT FIRST at the TOP of WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO IMMEDIATELY LIST.

    THEN JUST SCRIBBLE ALL YOU WANT as many things YOU HOPE YOU WILL EVENTUALLY GET DONE ON YOUR.... A MAYBE ONE DAY YOU WILL LIST.

     DOING YOUR MOST IMPORTANT things FIRST IN THE MORNING will give you the OTHER 80% of YOUR DAY TO DO or.... DON'T DO ANY of YOUR MAYBE LIST.

     At the end of the day Whatever you DON'T GET DONE you can EITHER....  JUST FLUSH IT because you REALIZE IT ISN'T IMPORTANT or....

    YOU CAN THEN MAKE IT ONE OF YOUR NEEDS DONE IMMEDIATELY LIST NEXT TIME or....

     YOU can make it a GET IT DONE EVENTUALLY MAYBE LIST.

     But ALL DAY LONG YOU WILL BE THANKFUL that YOU DID EVERYTHING YOU NEEDED DONE FIRST THING THIS MORNING.

     And AT THE END OF THE DAY as long as YOU DID WHAT WAS MOST IMPORTANT..... YOU WILL BE PROUD OF YOURSELF no matter how many things are still on your MAYBE LIST.

     

Their OPINION is DIFFERENT.....and YOUR OPINION is DIFFERENT....then be okay that we THINK DIFFERENTLY

      You can EACH SEE THE SAME THING yet EACH OF YOU CAN SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY.

      That DOESN'T MEAN that THEY DIDN'T SEE IT ...It just MEANS THAT YOU DIDN'T SEE what THEY SAW. 

      YOUR OPINION is based on WHAT YOU SEE and THEIR OPINION is based on WHAT THEY SEE.

     They may LOOK GOOD IN BLUE yet they DON'T LIKE THE COLOR BLUE.

      Now if they were MY FRIEND I would on a HOLIDAY BUY THEM A COOL BLUE SHIRT and HOPE THEY MIGHT TRY WEARING IT....and ACCEPT IT IF THEY WON'T.

     Some of my BEST FRIENDS were TOTALLY DIFFERENT then me but I sure LOVE HANGING OUT WITH THEM. 

     Many COUPLES MEET UP with PEOPLE who are TOTALLY DIFFERENT THAN THEM and they ENJOY LIFE TOGETHER BEAUTIFULLY.

       Many WORKING GROUPS are GROUPS who are DIFFERENT because it TAKES A TEAM to DO IT.

      OUR UNIQUENESS is what MAKES US EACH UNIQUELY COOL.😎

      DON'T FORGET TO BE YOURSELF and LET THEM BE FREE to BE THEMSELVES and LET EVERYONE ENJOY BEING FREE.

     

      

     

It's best if you ACCEPT IT because IT IS WHAT IT IS...

     It's HARD TO FORGIVE someone when you REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT they ACTUALLY COULD HAVE DONE IT.

     Even though you DIDN'T EXPECT IT..... that doesn't change the FACT THAT THEY DID IT.

     When you MEET someone NEW you DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHO they TRULY ARE.... but..... EVENTUALLY they will SHOW YOU WHO they TRULY ARE.

     A GOOD WEATHER FRIEND is only there to ENJOY THAT MOMENT then..... They RUN AWAY to FIND A NEW ADVENTURE with the NEXT FRIEND they MEET.

     An OLD FRIEND is HARD TO FIND but once you HAVE A GOOD FRIEND YOU NEED TO BE THANKFUL that you have a GOOD FRIEND.

     When you are YOUNGER you have TIME to MEET GOOD FRIENDS but when you get OLDER you will DEFINITELY TREASURE YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY MORE THAN EVER.

     DON'T let a FAIR WEATHER FRIEND come between YOU AND YOUR LIFETIME FRIENDS AND FAMILY.... Because it WON'T BE LONG before that FAIR WEATHER FRIEND Gets BORED AND MOVES ON.

     

Your MIND SET will make you WHO YOU ARE

     If you only LOOK for WHAT WENT WRONG then you will probably MISS OUT on WHAT WENT RIGHT TODAY.

     Your OBSERVATIONS will be WHAT YOU BELIEVE IS TRUE..... rather it is EVEN TRUE AT ALL.

    If in YOUR MIND it IS WHAT YOU THINK IT IS then you REALIZE JUST HOW IMPORTANT YOUR WAY OF THINKING really DECIDES YOUR REALITY.

    At the BEGINNING OF EACH DAY you NEED to PLAN on WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO ACCOMLISHING TODAY.

      Because YOU NEED TO THINK POSITIVELY so you can HAVE A POSITIVE ATTITUDE EVERY DAY.

     HOW YOU LOOK at it is WHAT YOU WILL SEE so.....THINK about EVERYTHING THAT IS POSITIVE THAT YOU CAN SEE.

    LIFE is full of LIFE that YOU CAN ENJOY..... It's just UP TO YOU TO SEE EVERYTHING AND ENJOY IT.🍄

     

     

     

     

BIGGER THINGS can bring on BIGGER PROBLEMS

      They might have a BIGGER HOUSE but that means they will also have MORE PROBLEMS throughout time than a SMALL HOUSE will eventually have.

     And they will also have a lot MORE HOUSE they will have TO CLEAN too.

      They might drive a EXPENSIVE CAR but they will also pay HIGHER INSURANCE for that EXPENSIVE CAR.

     They might be USED TO BUYING WHATEVER they want but they know DEEP DOWN that MONEY ALONE will not BUY THEM HAPPINESS.

      Your FRIENDS when you are BROKE are there because you are FRIENDS but a RICH PERSON has to WANDER if their FRIENDS are ONLY THERE because they are RICH.

     When you are RICH and FAMOUS you have PAPARAZZI waiting to TAKE YOUR PICTURE so you CAN'T GO ANYWHERE unless you are DRESSED UP FOR PICTURES on a magazine.

     When you are POOR you can go out COMFORTABLY ANYTIME because NO ONE CARES what you are WEARING.

     So BEING POOR has its ADVANTAGES as well as it's DISADVANTAGES just like BEING RICH also has some DISADVANTAGES as well as it's ADVANTAGES.

      EVERY LIFE whether you are RICH OR POOR has some GOOD DAYS and some BAD DAYS, that's JUST PART OF LIFE.🍄

How many TIMES have you had to say.... I wish I COULD but TODAY I am just NOT ABLE TO?

      When you have to WORK you really DON'T have enough ENERGY nor TIME to be able to do everything but you CAN ENJOY what YOU CAN DO.

      When you are FEELING not so HEALTHY you DO ONLY what you ABSOLUTELY NEED so you can REST and GET BETTER.

      When you are YOUNG and you are BROKE you have to THINK before you SPEND YOUR MONEY because you NEED YOUR MONEY.

      When you LIVE FAR AWAY from your FAMILY and your FRIENDS it makes it HARD TO BE ABLE TO PHYSICALLY SEE them.

     You may NOT ALWAYS be able to DO IT just because AT ANY TIME there can be MANY REASONS WHY YOU JUST CAN'T DO IT.

     If you CAN then WHILE YOU CAN then YOU SHOULD..... because before you know it ONE DAY it  might NOT BE ABLE FOR YOU TO GET IT DONE.

      Which is WHY you CAN'T put EVERYTHING on your BUCKET LIST because CERTAIN THINGS have that just NEEDS TO BE DONE WHEN YOU ARE YOUNG.

      And REMEMBER that what you THINK WILL HAPPEN may NOT EVER HAPPEN so ENJOY YOUR LIFE while you are LIVING IT.

      We NEVER KNOW exactly WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN LIFE but we CAN ALWAYS ENJOY DOING THE BEST WE CAN with WHAT WE DO HAVE.

      We ONLY have the TIME WE HAVE so ENJOY EVERY MINUTE OF THE TIME YOU HAVE.🍄

      

    

     

If it DOESN'T WORK then...

      If it is something that CAN BE FIXED then do whatever you have to do and JUST FIX IT.

      But if it is TOTALLY BROKEN then you should ACCEPT that It is BROKEN and THROW IT AWAY because it is BROKEN.

     Whether it is something PHYSICALLY or something EMOTIONALLY....If it is HURTFUL TO YOU then STOP and IMMEDIATELY GET RID OF IT.

     If it is SOMEONE or SOMETHING CAUSING YOU  CHAOS and STRESS then GET AWAY FROM IT so it CAN'T KEEP STRESSING YOU OUT ANYMORE.

     If you have TRIED MANY TIMES to FIX IT yet it still DOESN'T WORK then you can STOP TRYING and at least YOU CAN SAY that YOU TRIED IT but YOU JUST CAN'T DO IT.

     You may NOT ALWAYS REACH your PLAN in LIFE but as long as YOU DO THE BEST that YOU COULD... YOU WILL ALWAYS BE PROUD OF YOURSELF.

      REMEMBER that even OUR MISTAKES are PART OF OUR PLAN to MAKE US WHO WE ARE... we just  DIDN'T KNOW that IT WAS A PART OF OUR PLAN.

      

     

 

Being OLDER you realize.....

     When you are YOUNG you don't EXPLORE being AWARE of anything NEGATIVE about TRYING NEW THINGS.

     When you get a DESIRE to go BE ADVENTUROUS you don't THINK about how CONDITIONALLY DANGEROUS it could POSSIBLY BE.

     When you are OLDER you REMEMBER a few moments throughout your life that you had HEARD of NEGATIVE INCIDENTS HAPPENING to people.

      Trying to say well out of the MILLIONS of TIMES people TRIED it something BAD did HAPPEN so THEREFORE you SHOULDN'T do it... sounds stupid.

     But when you get OLDER because you are OLDER.....YOU at least take a MOMENT to EXPRESS the POSSIBILITY so at least YOU TOLD them that it COULD POSSIBLY BE DANGEROUS.

     Then QUIETLY YOU REMEMBER some of the CRAZY THINGS YOU DID when YOU WERE YOUNG that YOU LUCKILY SURVIVED.

      EVERY STAGE OF LIFE is LIVED ONE STAGE AT A TIME and WHAT YOU WOULD HAVE DONE if YOU WERE YOUNG is TOTALLY DIFFERENT from WHAT YOU WILL CHOOSE TO DO WHEN YOU ARE OLDER.

      

To KNOW what you have takes LOOKING at what you HAVE

      Just because you THINK it WILL....DOES NOT mean it WILL HAPPEN just because you THOUGHT it WOULD.

      The SOONER you ACCEPT that not everything TURNS OUT like you THOUGHT it WOULD..... the SOONER you will ACCEPT THINGS as they TRULY ARE.

     To GROW where you ARE takes being HONEST about what you ACTUALLY HAVE so YOU CAN GROW WHERE and HOW YOU CAN with WHAT YOU ACTUALLY DO HAVE.

     PRETENDING you have MORE than you ACTUALLY have will NOT GIVE YOU what you WILL NEED to have WHAT YOU NEED.

     BEFORE YOU GET STARTED you have to at first STOP long enough to SEE WHERE YOU ARE and WHAT YOU HAVE TO WORK WITH so YOU CAN MAKE A PLAN OF ACTION.

     If YOU ARE NOT HONEST WITH YOURSELF.... YOU WILL REGRET IT.... eventually so.... STOP and be HONEST WITH YOURSELF.

      To KNOW WHAT YOU NEED.... you just got to LOOK FOR WHAT YOU HAVE so you KNOW WHAT YOU NEED TO GET TO DO IT.

      If you Need to do it then.... figure out HOW to do it and then you can Just do it.

     

     

WHAT will you keep FRESH on your mind?

      If you WANT to FORGET ABOUT IT then.... STOP KEEPING IT FRESH on your mind so you CAN FORGET ABOUT IT.

     If you WANT to ALWAYS REMEMBER IT then.... you MUST ALWAYS REMIND YOURSELF about it so YOU CAN ALWAYS REMEMBER IT.

     Your THOUGHTS that you KEEP FRESH ON YOUR MIND are the REALITY that YOU WILL LIVE IN.

    WHO you CHOOSE to HANG AROUND WITH has a lot to DO WITH WHO YOU BECOME.

     If you WANT to SURROUND YOURSELF with people WHO ARE POSITIVE PEOPLE you will STAY IN A POSITIVE MOOD.

     If you CHOOSE to HANG AROUND with people WHO ARE NEGATIVE you WILL REMAIN IN A NEGATIVE MOOD.

     If you were going through something NEGATIVE WHO SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO HANG OUT WITH?

    WOULD THEY HELP YOU stay in a NEGATIVE ATTITUDE or WOULD THEY HELP YOU find something POSITIVE ATTITUDE ABOUT IT?

     YOUR CHOICE of WHO YOU CHOOSE TO HANG AROUND will DETERMINE whether you will END UP SATISFIED at the end or ANGRY at HOW things TURNED OUT in the end.

     It's NOT just WHAT YOU HAVE TO FACE that DETERMINES YOUR OUTCOME but HOW YOU REACT TO WHAT YOU HAVE TO FACE is what will DETERMINE YOUR OUTCOME.

     LIFE is full of TWISTS AND TURNS as well as UPS AND DOWNS but that's JUST LIFE and..... HOW YOU CHOOSE TO LIVE It is purely UP TO YOU.

      Which is WHY you need to CHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS WISELY.... even if it means in the end that you just DON'T HAVE MANY FRIENDS because a TRUE POSITIVE FRIEND is HARD TO FIND.

      

Be GRATEFUL for WHAT YOU DO HAVE and ENJOY IT

       From a DISTANCE you MAY THINK that LIFE is WAY WORSE than it REALLY IS.

       Which is WHY you have to LOOK VERY CAREFULLY so that you can REALLY SEE IT.

      Through the CLOUDS you can SEE THE SUN yet you CAN'T SEE the SUN AT ALL yet.

      But as SOON as the CLOUDS MOVE you will NEED TO put on your SUNGLASSES.

      Not EVERYTHING will WORK OUT PERFECTLY but as long as IT WORKS you can be GLAD that it WORKED ENOUGH.

       You may be HOPING for ONE THING and yet STILL ENJOY what you GOT and be THANKFUL for what you DO HAVE.

      When you SEE IT then you LEARN how to APPRECIATE what YOU DO HAVE and then you will be FOREVER THANKFUL for WHAT YOU DO HAVE and ENJOY IT.

      When you are GRATEFUL you will REALIZE just HOW GRATEFUL YOU HONESTLY SHOULD BE.

     You will NEVER GET everything that you could ever dream of but..... That's JUST LIFE.... and LIFE is ENJOYING the LIFE you DO HAVE.

      

      

       

If you are OKAY then..... EVERYTHING ELSE is OKAY

      It may be RAINING outside and you could GET UNCOMFORTABLY WET but... luckily you are not like that WICKED WITCH on the movie that gets DROWNED by the WATER.

      You may easily get FRUSTRATED if you get a FLAT TIRE but.... at least you SHOULD BE GLAD that you DIDN'T just WRECK YOUR CAR.

      You WON'T ALWAYS BE THANKFUL for the STRUGGLES that you had to FACE during your LIFE'S JOURNEY.

     But you CAN ALWAYS BE THANKFUL that you LEARNED a lot from the STRUGGLES that you FACED.

     When TIMES GET TOUGH it MAKES SENSE that you will FEEL STRESSED for a MOMENT but then..... you have to LEARN from IT and JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind to KEEP MOVING AHEAD AGAIN.

     It's like that sign that INSPIRED ME said...

It's OKAY to sit on your pity-potty every now and again just be sure and FLUSH when you are done.

      Life is LEARNED AS YOU GROW and you got to GROW WHEREVER YOU ARE PLANTED and when SHIT HAPPENS you got to JUST FLUSH IT to make ROOM for PEACE OF MIND to GET IN.

     PEACE OF MIND is JUST A FLUSH AWAY so.... JUST FLUSH IT and ENJOY YOUR LIFE while you are LIVING IT.

     

     

STAYING BUSY helps you be....

      Our minds have an ENDLESS STREAM of THOUGHTS that sometimes makes it hard to STAY BUSY so you can STAY FOCUSED on what is IMPORTANT.

     When a NEGATIVE THOUGHT tries to "GRAB YOUR ATTENTION" you have to get BUSY with POSITIVE THINGS to FORGET ABOUT IT.

     If you want to CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS then FILL YOUR LIFE with OTHER POSITIVE things TO DO to KEEP YOU BUSY THINKING about OTHER THINGS.

    When you start THINKING about what has happened that UPSETS YOU start THINKING about what has also happened that made you HAPPY TODAY.

    EVERY DAY there are GOOD THINGS as well as THINGS you wish you could have AVOIDED.

    What will you CHOOSE to REMEMBER ABOUT TODAY?

     If you DID something that you REGRET DOING then MAKE SURE that you NEVER DO IT AGAIN.

    If you DID something that you would LOVE TO DO again sometime then REMEMBER that and DO IT AGAIN ONE DAY.

      CHOOSE to REMEMBER that EVERY DAY is ANOTHER DAY and EVERY MOMENT is ANOTHER MOMENT that you CAN CHOOSE TO POSITIVELY ENJOY.

    WE ONLY have the TIME WE HAVE to ENJOY EVERY MOMENT that WE HAVE.

    When you need to CHANGE YOUR WAY OF THINKING you will have to START THINKING DIFFERENTLY by STAYING BUSY DOING things to DISTRACT your way of THINKING.

You CAN'T move PAST IT until you at FIRST ACKNOWLEDGE it so YOU CAN.....

      You CAN'T FORGET IT until you ACCEPT IT so you can FORGET IT.

      You CAN'T FORGIVE IT until you KNOW WHAT you need to FORGIVE.

      PRETENDING that IT DIDN'T HAPPEN will ONLY KEEP IT from ALLOWING you to DEAL WITH IT so you can JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind.

      Once you ACCEPT IT then you will have LEARNED FROM IT so you can JUST FLUSH IT and FORGET IT.

     Once you GROW AS YOU GO throughout your Life's JOURNEY you will LEARN TO GROW WHEREVER YOU ARE PLANTED.

     There will always be GOOD DAYS and BAD DAYS, that's JUST LIFE.

     But the SOONER you LEARN how to ACCEPT IT so you can JUST FLUSH IT the SOONER you will find PEACE OF MIND.

     If you want PEACE OF MIND.....You have to ACKNOWLEDGE IT and ADJUST then.....JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind so PEACE OF MIND will have ROOM to GET IN.

     

MAKING THE MOST out of WHAT YOU DO HAVE

      ALTHOUGH a yacht would be extremely nice to OWN... YOU can still LOVE YOUR SMALL BOAT.

      I would LOVE to eat at a OVERLY EXPENSIVE STEAKHOUSE once a week but.... I am at least glad WE go every couple of months.

      WE would love to OWN A NICE NEW HOME but... WE can at least be THANKFUL for OUR TINY OLD PAID OFF HOME WE do have.

     WE may wish WE had a NEW CAR but....WE should be THANKFUL that WE have a car to drive.

     YOU may not have EVERYTHING YOU COULD EVER WANT but... YOU should be very THANKFUL for WHAT YOU DO HAVE.

     LIFE is full of UPS AND DOWNS but... that's JUST LIFE and if YOU want to ENJOY LIFE you have to ENJOY whatever LIFE YOU HAVE.

     STOP LOOKING FOR EVERYTHING TO BE PERFECT IN YOUR LIFE..... JUST ENJOY YOUR LIFE while YOU ARE LIVING IT. 🍄

YOUR THOUGHTS will DETERMINE YOUR FUTURE MOMENTS

       If you KEEP TELLING YOURSELF then YOU WILL START BELIEVE EVERYTHING that YOU SAY about YOURSELF.

      And if YOU DON'T BELIEVE YOU CAN then YOU KNOW that NO ONE ELSE will BELIEVE that YOU CAN DO IT EITHER.

      You may not ALWAYS be the SMARTEST PERSON in the room but you KNOW that you are SMART ENOUGH TO DO IT CORRECTLY.

      You don't have to be the FIRST ONE THERE to be able to ENJOY EVERY MOMENT of being there DOING IT.

      HOWEVER YOU DO IT... is HOW YOU WILL DO IT regardless of HOW OTHER PEOPLE DO IT.

      There are MANY SONG WRITERS that MAKE MANY GREAT NEW SONGS even though EVERY SONG IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT.

      There are MANY GREAT BOSSES that DO THINGS TOTALLY DIFFERENTLY that still MAKE WORKING for them a GREAT ADVANTAGE for you.

     You will NEVER BE ABLE to PLEASE EVERYONE but YOU can ALWAYS make sure that YOU PLEASE YOURSELF.

     The MINUTE YOU START BELIEVING IN YOURSELF is the MINUTE YOU WILL ENJOY EVERY MOMENT that you have.

     And since WE ALL ONLY HAVE THE TIME WE HAVE then MAKE SURE YOU DO WHAT IS BEST FOR YOURSELF EVERY MOMENT OF THE TIME you DO HAVE.

     THINK POSITIVELY AND ENJOY YOUR POSITIVITY because YOU CAN.

      

      

    

But FIRST you have to KNOW WHERE you are now......

      If you want to GET DIRECTIONS you must FIRST FIGURE OUT where you are NOW.

     You have to START WHERE YOU ARE..... REGARDLESS of HOW you GOT THERE.... And JUST ACCEPT WHERE YOU ARE.

     Which also TAKES REMEMBERING HOW YOU GOT WHERE YOU ARE SO YOU CAN MAKE SURE you NEVER COME BACK THERE AGAIN.

     The ROAD that LOOKS MORE TRAVELED is USUALLY because EVERYONE that went THAT DIRECTION GOT LEAD TO NOWHERE so they had to TURN AROUND and GO BACK the way they came.

     REMEMBER....if you GET TRAPPED IN LIFE just TURN AROUND and GO BACK and CHOOSE A DIFFERENT DIRECTION.

     LIFE IS FULL OF LESSONS and some EXPERIENCES end up as HAPPY LESSONS and some are SAD LESSIONS that YOU NEEDED so YOU COULD GROW.

     

SHOW THEM so THEY will KNOW

     If someone at a red light leaves a spot for you to be able to pull into traffic.... would you WAVE TO THANK THEM? 

     I KNOW I LIKE IT when someone I LET OUT takes a second and WAVES to me to say THANKS.

     So if someone SAVES you room please WAVE TO THANK THEM because that WAVE will MAKE THEM SMILE.

     Has someone ever HELD A DOOR OPEN for you at a STORE or a Post Office?

     I KNOW HOW PROUD I am when I see someone SMILE as my GROWN SON always HOLDS THE DOOR every chance someone is coming.

    He says HOLDING THE DOOR OPEN seems to ALWAYS MAKE OTHER PEOPLE HAPPY and that MADE HIM HAPPY.

     As we talked he said he also took NOTICE when someone WAVES whenever he SAVES THEM ROOM TO GET OUT.

    You can make a POSITIVE DIFFERENCE in SIMPLE WAYS just by MAKING PEOPLE SMILE FROM YOUR KINDNESS.

    Whether you are YOUNG or you are MIDDLE AGED OR EVEN OLD we can always be KIND to EVERYONE WE MEET.

    EVERY random act of KINDNESS will be a POSITIVE DIFFERENCE to ANYONE WHO RECEIVED IT.

    EVERY POSITIVE SEEDS WE PLANT is more POSITIVE SEEDS THAT WILL GROW.

    PEACE ON EARTH is possible by bringing PEACE OF MIND to ONE PERSON at a TIME.

    Time to Wear your JUST FLUSH IT shirts and hats to SPREAD the POSITIVE MESSAGE behind JUST FLUSH IT so PEACE OF MIND can SPREAD.

    A SMILE says PEACE in ANY LANGUAGE.

     

     

     

     

     

What you do when YOU ARE YOUNG V.S. what you DO WHEN YOU ARE OLD

      Do you PRINT OUT your PICTURES and STORE THEM IN PHOTO ALBUMS?

     If you are OLD you probably have lots of OLD PHOTO ALBUMS but..... you RARELY LOOK at them.

      UNFORTUNATELY the YOUNGER you are the PHOTOS ON YOUR PHONE can get LOST FOREVER IN CYBERSPACE.

      When I was recently going through an OLD PHOTO ALBUM I was SHOCKED to see the TYPE OF CLOTHES we were all wearing.

     I DEFINITELY DON'T REMEMBER me ever wearing those WAY TOO SHORT SHORTS....but THERE I AM in SHORTS that are SO SHORT I am EMBARRASSED.

      If I HAD NOT SAW MYSELF in those OLD PHOTOS I would have NEVER BELIEVED I WOULD DRESS LIKE THAT.....but I OBVIOUSLY DID.

     Just because you DON'T REMEMBER EVERYTHING.... REMEMBER....a PICTURE IS DEFINITELY PROOF.

      You might be OLD NOW but there was a TIME WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG TOO.

      KIDS do things that YOUNG KIDS DO then.... THEY GROW UP AND DO GROWN UP THINGS. 

     

BELIEVE in YOURSELF

     There is always MORE than ONE WAY to SEE IT but.... HOW YOU SEE IT will determine WHAT YOU WILL be able to SEE 

     If YOU DON'T BELIEVE IT then.... YOU JUST WON'T EVER SEE IT.

     If YOU CONSTANTLY SAY YOU CAN'T then.... YOU WON'T..... because YOU WILL NEVER TRY TO DO IT.

     When you do make a MISTAKE then.... LEARN FROM IT then YOU CAN DO IT because YOU LEARNED HOW TO DO IT CORRECTLY.

     STOP EXPECTING to ALWAYS KNOW EVERYTHING just EXCEPT that you will be able to LEARN AS YOU GO through your LIFE'S JOURNEY.

    YOU DON'T NEED ANYONE ELSE'S APPROVAL...ALL YOU NEED IS TO BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.

    Your LIFE is based on WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN.... SO THINK POSITIVELY so YOU CAN BE A POSITIVE PERSON.

    WE all ONLY HAVE the TIME WE HAVE to ENJOY EVERY MOMENT WE HAVE.

     

ENJOYING LIFE means.... doing what YOU WANT TO DO

      You don't have to do it unless you WANT TO DO IT..... despite what OTHERS around you are thinking about it.

     You can CHOOSE and therefore DECIDE by DOING what you CHOOSE TO DO and let THEM CHOOSE what they WANT TO DO.

     ENJOY Going out to a restaurant together that has both regular food as well as vegetarian foods so EVERYONE can ENJOY EATING together what EACH of you like. 

     Some PEOPLE CHOOSE to wear clothes that are COMFORTABLE to them regardless of whether you WOULD WEAR IT or NOT....you CHOOSE what YOU WILL WEAR.

     STOP JUDGING what OTHER PEOPLE DO and let THEM DO what THEY WANT TO DO and YOU CHOOSE WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.

     TEN PEOPLE could SEE the same thing yet SEE TOTALLY DIFFERENT THINGS... because HOW YOU LOOK AT IT will DETERMINE WHAT YOU WILL SEE.

      Our UNIQUENESS is what makes us ALL UNIQUELY DIFFERENT and what we EACH like is also UNIQUELY DIFFERENT....so....

     YOU DO YOU and let THEM be THEM and then WE ALL can ENJOY BEING OURSELVES.

     Your BEST FRIEND can be TOTALLY DIFFERENT than YOU but still be YOUR BEST FRIEND EVER.

      YOU CAN'T ALWAYS PLEASE EVERYONE but YOU CAN DEFINITELY ALWAYS PLEASE YOURSELF.

     

Sometimes PEACEFUL is just LESS STRESSFUL

      In LIFE YOU have to LEARN to be HAPPY even though everything in your LIFE isn't always TOTALLY HAPPY.

     When you WAKE UP in the morning you can DEFINITELY be PROUD that you WOKE UP.

      Although you are on a HEALTHY DIET you can still ENJOY some TASTEFUL alternatives.

      You may not always get EVERYTHING that you EVER WANTED but you can be very GRATEFUL that you at least have EVERYTHING that you NEED.

     A FLOWER only shows it's BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS for a SHORT TIME so STOP..... and SMELL the FLOWERS while they are BLOOMING.

     A RAINFALL may keep you from getting things done for a few moments but you KNOW we NEED the RAIN.

     Like the plaque on my wall says......

So this isn't HOME SWEET HOME just ADJUST.

     YOU must REALIZE that there will always be GOOD DAYS AND ALSO BAD DAYS.... that's JUST LIFE.

     So LEARN HOW to take all the NEGATIVE EXPERIENCES and JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind so it CAN'T HOLD YOU DOWN.

      Remember that Shit HAPPENS throughout your LIFE so JUST FLUSH IT so PEACE OF MIND will have ROOM to GET IN.

If you WANT to REMEMBER IT then....

      As you are DISCUSSING how your day went..... WHAT PARTS of your DAY will you TELL THEM?

     Are you going to be TALKING about the GOOD PARTS about TODAY or are you going to TALK about the BAD PARTS about your DAY TODAY?

      If you SPEND all of your TIME TODAY LOOKING for ANYTHING that was NEGATIVE TODAY you will DEFINITELY FIND NEGATIVE THOUGHTS about TODAY.

     LIKE the TRAFFIC May have been STRESSFUL TODAY but STRESSFUL or NOT you can ARRIVE LATE and STILL be GLAD YOU ARRIVED safely.

     If you WANT to REMEMBER the GOOD PARTS of TODAY you will HAVE TO JUST STOP and ENJOY the GOOD PARTS OF TODAY.

    And REMEMBER that EVERY DAY has GOOD PARTS as well as BAD PARTS, that's JUST LIFE.

     You have to LEARN HOW to take all the NEGATIVE THINGS that happened and ACCEPT IT then.... JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind.

    Because if you want PEACE OF MIND you will have to take ALL the NEGATIVITY and JUST FLUSH IT so PEACE OF MIND will have ROOM to GET IN.

   If you want to SPREAD the POSITIVE message behind JUST FLUSH IT you can help me bring PEACE OF MIND to ONE PERSON at a TIME.

      

     

     

     

A GIANT THING may NEVER HAPPEN so.....

    Are you really WAITING for something extremely Big to happen?

    We all HOPE for something extremely BIG but.... unfortunately there are NOT MANY BIG THINGS that really happen very often if they even Happen  at all.

     In LIFE it is the IMPORTANT LITTLE THINGS that really happen all throughout your LIFE.

    UNFORTUNATELY if you IGNORE all the LITTLE THINGS you might IGNORE the MOST IMPORTANT THINGS in YOUR LIFE.

     You might not ACTUALLY FLY A PLANE like you had DREAMED but you can sure ENJOY TRAVELING to many places.

    You might not be a FAMOUS ARTIST but you can still ENJOY DOING ARTFUL THINGS.

     You might not be the SMARTEST PERSON but you are SMART enough to KNOW what MAKES YOU HAPPY.

    And if it MAKES YOU HAPPY then DO IT so you can be HAPPY.

     If you SPEND all your time trying to PLEASE OTHERS you will realize that YOU WILL NEVER BE HAPPY.

     Because the TRUTH is that if you KEEP CHANGING to please others.... you will NEVER GET TO BE YOUR HONEST SELF.

      WE all only have the TIME WE HAVE so MAKE SURE YOU ENJOY EVERY MOMENT YOU HAVE.

      At the END OF THE DAY all that matters is that you are PROUD OF EVERYTHING that you have CHOSEN TO DO.

       It's your Life..... so always CHOOSE WISELY what is actually the MOST IMPORTANT thing for YOU TO DO.

       

      

BEGIN by.... LEARNING so you can MAKE A LIST

      If you EXPECT to PAINT IT..... then you must MAKE A LIST of EVERYTHING that you will NEED TO BE ABLE TO PAINT IT.

    If you FORGET to BUY SOME PAINTERS TAPE then you may have to WORK HARDER to keep a STRAIGHT LINE.

   If you don't BUY the RIGHT PAINT BRUSH you might find it HARDER to get the CORNERS done.

    BEFORE you START ANY PROJECT you NEED TO MAKE A LIST of EVERYTHING you WILL NEED to GET IT DONE.

    If you KNOW that YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO IT.....then ASK SOMEONE WHO DOES KNOW.

   How many times have you IGNORED THE INSTRUCTIONS and TRIED to just put it TOGETHER?

    ONLY to later EVENTUALLY REALIZE that YOU WILL have to GET THE INSTRUCTIONS out because YOU DIDN'T DO IT CORRECTLY.

    MAKING A POSITIVE PLAN means that YOU WILL take the TIME to LEARN EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW to MAKE A LIST of EVERYTHING that you will NEED to DO IT.

     Every RECIPE has SPECIFIC INGREDIENTS and if you want to MAKE that RECIPE.... then you will NEED the LIST of INGREDIENTS.

     No one is BORN KNOWING EVERYTHING.....WE ALL have to LEARN AS WE GO.

    

Not EVERYTHING means THE SAME to EVERYONE

      You may NOT LIKE IT but that DOESN'T MEAN that there are NOT MANY PEOPLE WHO DO LIKE IT.

      When you say IT WAS REALLY SPICY tasting it DOESN'T MEAN that people who LOVE SPICY FOOD would EVEN CONSIDER IT TO BE SPICY AT ALL.

     YOUR DECISIONS are based on what YOU LIKE just like THEIR DECISIONS are based on what THEY LIKE.

     If you EXPECT to have a RIGHT TO THINK YOUR OWN WAY it is ONLY POSSIBLE if you RESPECT the way OTHER PEOPLE CHOOSE TO THINK.

     I may NOT AGREE with EVERYTHING that STRANGERS NOR EVEN MY OWN FAMILY AND FRIENDS THINK but...

    ... that DOESN'T MEAN that WE ALL can't JUST ENJOY OUR LIVES TOGETHER..... DESPITE all of OUR DIFFERENCES.

     NEXT TIME you see a CERTAIN SUBJECT that is CAUSING THINGS to become FRUSTRATING.... JUST FLUSH IT.... and CHANGE THE SUBJECT.

     We DON'T HAVE TO AGREE to AGREE....WE JUST  HAVE TO....JUST FLUSH IT and DISAGREE TO DISAGREE PEACEFULLY.

     

     

MAKE A DECISION then ... STICK TO IT

      If you want them to KNOW THAT YOU MEAN IT then.... DON'T SAY IT UNLESS YOU MEAN IT.

     If you KNOW that CERTAIN FOODS UPSET YOUR STOMACH then..... DON'T EAT IT or you will have an UPSET STOMACH.

     If you KNOW that YOU SHOULDN'T then.... Make sure YOU DON'T DO IT.

     REMEMBER that just because OTHER PEOPLE ARE DOING IT definitely DOESN'T MEAN that it is the RIGHT THING FOR YOU TO DO.

      YOUR Life is based on what YOU DO not based on what OTHER PEOPLE ARE DOING.

      If THINGS NEED TO CHANGE then ...DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY so THINGS CAN CHANGE.

     If it is SOMETHING that YOU ARE AGAINST then.... MAKE SURE that NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS YOU WILL NEVER DO IT.

     YOUR LIFE is FULL OF CHOICES and EVERY CHOICE YOU MAKE MATTERS.

ASK YOURSELF and BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF

     You may have a LOT OF LOVE IN YOUR HEART but ASK YOURSELF if anyone else FEELS YOUR LOVE.

     You may KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER but it WON'T HELP ANYONE if you NEVER TELL THEM THE ANSWER AT ALL.

    You may KNOW but....  WILL YOU ADMIT THAT YOU KNOW IT?

    If you KNOW THAT YOU SHOULDN'T then make sure that YOU DON'T or you will DEFINITELY REGRET DOING IT.

    THROUGHOUT LIFE you can LIE TO OTHERS during certain circumstances but if YOU EVER LIE TO YOURSELF then YOU DEFINITELY WILL HAVE MAJOR PROBLEMS.

    If you want to KNOW then ASK YOURSELF and NO MATTER WHAT THE ANSWER IS JUST BE HONEST so EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT.

   HONESTY is the ONLY WAY to ALWAYS STAY HONEST.

Trying to SHARE can be SHAMEFULLY IGNORED

      You may want to SHARE some GOOD ADVICE but UNFORTUNATELY that DOESN'T MEAN it WILL BE HEARD.

     You want to PREVENT them from FUMBLING but UNFORTUNATELY they may still FUMBLE AS THEY FALL.

     You want to SAVE them from FRUSTRATION but they can be TOTALLY FRUSTRATED as they STRUGGLE THROUGH IT.

     Sometimes the STRUGGLES they FACE may be PART OF THEIR GROWING PAINS to be the BEST PERSON they can be.

     UNFORTUNATELY LIFE IS A ROLLERCOASTER of EVENTS and sometimes those EXPERIENCES CAN BE PAINFUL yet TOTALLY NECESSARY to LEARN AS YOU GO.

     

     

You can SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCES but that DOESN'T MEAN anyone will truly hear

      I REMEMBER when I was a YOUNG CHILD I saw them WARNING ME but I was NOT REALLY LISTENING to them.

    When you are YOUNG you have NO FEAR you just have TOTAL EXCITEMENT about everything that LIFE HAS TO OFFER.

    When I would FUMBLE on a RECENT ADVENTURE I would just LOOK FOR A NEW ADVENTURE that I can ENJOY DOING.

    BUT..... when you are OLDER and you want to SAVE SOMEONE YOU LOVE from FUMBLES you SEE THAT JUST LIKE YOURSELF at a YOUNG AGE.... they just DON'T LISTEN.

      You CANT PREVENT them from FUMBLING but you SURE CAN be there to HOLD THEM after they FUMBLE THROUGH THEIR LIVES.

     They DON'T WANT TO HEAR I told you NOT TO DO IT they just want you to HUG THEM and TELL THEM EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY.

You are UNIQUE and everything that YOU Do is because YOU LIKE IT.....

      How things WORK for OTHERS has NOTHING TO DO with HOW IT will WORK for YOU.

      Because what WORKS for SOMEONE ELSE just MAY NOT WORK for YOU because we are ALL UNIQUELY DIFFERENT.

      What is IMPORTANT TO YOU may NOT be what is IMPORTANT TO THEM because we are all UNIQUE.

     Some PEOPLE like SPICY FOOD yet YOU PERSONALLY can HATE SPICY FOOD but still ENJOY going out to dinner together.

    I had been AVOIDING SWEETS but everywhere I went they SOLD SWEETS..... I JUST had to LEARN TO QUIT ORDERING anything SWEET.

     If it is IMPORTANT TO YOU.....THEN..... THAT IS WHAT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO DO.

    

Getting HAPPY means BEING HAPPY with YOURSELF

      You don't have to be a ROCK STAR to ENJOY SINGING....so SING and you will be able to ENJOY SINGING.

     You may not be a FAMOUS ARTIST but you sure are GOOD at MAKING things that are ARTFUL THINGS.

      Even though you may not be the WINNER.... you can still be PROUD of everything that you have done.

      If you SPEND every MOMENT you can ENJOYING every MOMENT that you can then you will be as HAPPY as YOU CAN BE.

      Your NEW DINNER may not LOOK like it does on the picture but you can be THANKFUL for COOKING an awesome TASTING DINNER BY YOURSELF.

      You may NOT DO IT EXACTLY as you had HOPED.... but you can sure BE PROUD of EVERYTHING that it took for you to DO IT.

      SELF ESTEEM is made by BEING PROUD OF YOURSELF.

Don't just Wait for it just ENJOY IT whenever you can ENJOY IT

     WE must be HONEST that Not EVERYTHING that WE WISH for ACTUALLY HAPPENS.

     But WE can STILL ENJOY EVERYTHING that DOES HAPPEN TO US.

     Not EVERYTHING that WE EARNED will WE GET TO ENJOY EVEN AFTER EARNING IT.

     But WE can STILL ENJOY the HARD WORK that WE PERSONALLY EARNED no matter WHAT HAPPENS.

     Not EVERYTHING that WE DO WILL ALWAYS BE NOTICED but that DOESN'T CHANGE WHAT WE HAVE DONE.

     As long as WE DO YOUR BEST then WE can HONESTLY SAY that WE DID THE BEST that WE COULD DO.

    And that is an AWESOME FEELING REGARDLESS of HOW THINGS ACTUALLY TURN OUT at the end of the day.

CHOOSE which THOUGHT will BRING YOU the BEST POSSIBLE OUTCOME

      How YOU LOOK AT SOMETHING will DETERMINE WHAT YOU WILL THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU WILL SEE.

     If you LOOK for the NEGATIVE SIDE then you will SEE the NEGATIVE SIDE.

     If you LOOK for the POSITIVE SIDE then you will SEE the POSITIVE SIDES.

     Things may not always be EXACTLY like YOU HAD PLANNED but as long as you SEE the POSITIVE SIDES then you will be POSITIVE.

     If a NEGATIVE THOUGHT tries to GRAB YOUR ATTENTION.... make sure you JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind.... so you can wait for the NEXT POSITIVE THOUGHT that comes along to THINK ABOUT.

     OUR MINDS have an ENDLESS STREAM of THOUGHTS that try to GRAB OUR ATTENTION but it is UP TO US TO CHOOSE THE POSITIVE ONES to THINK ABOUT.

    YOUR THOUGHTS are the REALITY that YOU WILL LIVE IN.... So CHOOSE WISELY.

JUST ACCEPT IT so you can MOVE FORWARD

      If you SPEND YEARS WORRYING then you will have WASTED YEARS of your time WORRYING ABOUT NOTHING at all.

     But IF IT DOES HAPPEN then you have to ACCEPT IT so you can FORGET ABOUT IT and GET MOVING AGAIN.

     What happened YESTERDAY has ALREADY HAPPENED and what is DONE IS DONE.

     And SINCE TOMORROW may NEVER COME TODAY is YOUR DAY to ENJOY WHILE YOU ARE LIVING IT.

     UNTIL you LEARN TO MOVE PAST YOUR PAST IT then it can HOLD ON LIKE SANDBAGS making EVERY MOVE YOU MAKE HARDER to do.

     As YOU GET OLDER you BEGIN TO REALIZE that YOU WASTED a lot of TIME WORRYING about many things that in the END you ACTUALLY REALIZED it was a WASTE OF YOUR TIME.

      SO...... THROUGHOUT YOUR LIFE remember to ACCEPT WHAT HAS HAPPENED and JUST FLUSH IT out of YOUR MIND so you will have ROOM FOR PEACE OF MIND to GET IN.

    

     

     

What YOU Say is important to YOUR OPINIONS

      You have to be CAREFUL to be POSITIVE in your WAY OF THINKING because WHAT YOU THINK has a lot to do with WHO YOU TURN INTO.

      If you KEEP REMINDING yourself that IT'S TOO HARD then you MAY NEVER TRY IT because it is IN YOUR OPINION is TOO HARD.

      You may NOT LIKE HEIGHTS but if WHAT YOU NEED takes GOING UP HIGH then REMIND YOURSELF that you can CLIMB UP to get it.

     You may have to CONVINCE YOURSELF that YOU CAN DO IT so YOU WILL BE ABLE to DO WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO DO in order to GET 'R DONE.

     WHO YOU CHOOSE TO SURROUND YOURSELF with will be the PEOPLE that INSPIRES YOU to EITHER DO WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO DO or they will INSPIRE YOU to DO NOTHING.

     If you WANT TO BE INSPIRED then make sure YOU HANG OUT with people WHO YOU ARE INSPIRED BY.

     If you want to SUCCEED then YOU WILL HAVE TO STAY INSPIRATIONAL no matter what CIRCUMSTANCES THAT YOU MUST FACE IN YOUR LIFE.

    

Will YOU RECOMMEND IT?

     If it something that you HATED DOING then DON'T TELL ANYONE that YOU LOVED DOING IT.

     After you LEARNED IT from YOUR MISTAKES then just don't ever FORGET TO DO IT correctly.

     If YOU FIGURE IT OUT then at least be THANKFUL that YOU FIGURED IT OUT.

     If YOU DON'T KNOW the ANSWERS then DON'T PRETEND that YOU DO because YOU DON'T KNOW.

     Don't TELL THEM anything but the TRUTH then YOU WILL always be glad that YOU TOLD THEM YOUR HONEST OPINION.

     LEARNING WHAT YOU NEED TO is the only way to LEARN WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW so YOU CAN DECIDE TO DO IT CORRECTLY.

     If YOU DON'T KNOW then tell them that YOU JUST DON'T KNOW so they can ASK SOMEONE ELSE.

     An HONEST NO does far less DAMAGE then a DISHONEST LIE that WASN'T TRUE AT ALL.

Following.... I will do it because I SAID I WOULD

     If you SAY YOU WILL then.... YOU SHOULD DO EVERYTHING that YOU CAN to DO IT.

     If you SAY I WILL BE THERE then make sure YOU GET THERE ON TIME.

    If you PROMISE to DO IT then ..... JUST DO IT because you SAID YOU WOULD DO IT.

    I knew that even if I COULDN'T DO IT..... AS LONG AS I TRIED then I WOULD ALWAYS BE GLAD that I AT LEAST TRIED.

    I FELT TIRED but as soon as I GOT UP and DID IT..... I FELT PROUD that I GOT UP AND DID IT so..... NOW I KNOW THAT IT IS DONE.

    As LONG as YOU REMIND YOURSELF THAT IT NEEDS DONE.... THE EASIER IT IS for you to JUST DO IT so you can JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind as soon as YOU GET IT DONE.

    If you want PEACE OF MIND.... you will have to JUST FLUSH IT to make ROOM for IT to GET IN.

    

Looking FORWARD to it MAKES it something YOU ARE LOOKING FORWARD to

        It may be SILLY but if it MAKES YOU HAPPY then.... JUST DO IT and ENJOY BEING SILLY.

        CRAFTS may SOUND BORING but when you are doing it..... IT MAKES YOU HAPPY...so KEEP DOING IT.

        It was A LOT of WORK to CREATE a NEW RECIPE but it was FUN CREATING IT and it tastes great so IT WAS WORTH THE WORK.

       After MAKING A DECISION you may REALIZE that you MADE THE WRONG DECISION but...... you DID IT and YOU KNOW YOU NEVER want to DO IT EVER AGAIN.

        As I was LOOKING at some of the STRANGE THINGS that I have done over my LIFETIME I REALIZED that more than HALF THE TIME I DID SOME STRANGE THINGS.

       LIFE is full of CHALLENGES AND TASK we all MUST MAKE and there will be MANY THINGS WE REALIZE that ONCE WAS CERTAINLY ENOUGH.

       LIFE is LIFE and we ALL DO WHAT FEELS RIGHT but we ALSO REALIZE that MISTAKES ARE ALSO JUST A PART OF LIFE.

      DO WHAT FEELS RIGHT and DEAL with the POSITIVE AND THE NEGATIVE parts of EVERYTHING WE CHOOSE TO DO.

      

If THEY DON'T KNOW YOU by NOW.....then THEY NEVER WILL EVER KNOW YOU

      Have you ever WANDERED if you COULD CHANGE someone's PERSONAL OPINION OF YOU that YOU HAD KNOWN FOR YEARS?

     If THEY DON'T RESPECT YOU by NOW then you have to EXPECT that THEY WILL NEVER RESPECT YOU no matter what you do at anytime.

     You may THINK THAT YOU HAD EARNED IT yet in THEIR OPINION you SUDDENLY REALIZE YOU HADN'T EARNED ANYTHING AT ALL FROM THEM.

     If you were HONEST and RESPECTFUL TO THEM then and IN THE END you REALIZED that THEY HAD NO RESPECT FOR YOU then..... ACCEPT that THEY WILL NEVER RESPECT YOU.

     That DOESN'T MEAN that YOU DIDN'T EARN IT....It just means that YOU DID IT but.... IT WASN'T NOTICED BY THEM. 

      It's always NICE to BE ACKNOWLEDGED BY OTHERS but..... SOMETIMES YOU MAY BE THE ONLY ONE TO ACKNOWLEDGE YOURSELF for WHAT YOU HAVE DONE.

       YOU KNOW that YOU CAN'T PLEASE EVERYONE but YOU DO  KNOW what YOU DID and THAT IS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW.

       As long as YOU DID YOUR BEST then BE PROUD OF WHAT YOU HAVE DONE.

      

     

Will you REGRET IT?

      If you ACT TOO QUICKLY you may MAKE A QUICK DECISION that you may REGRET MAKING.

      If you GUESS WITHOUT LEARNING what you NEED TO KNOW.....you may find that you might REGRET what you CHOSE to do.

     Because If you DO IT when you KNOW that you SHOULDN'T DO IT you just might REGRET that you CHOSE TO DO IT when you KNEW that you SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE IT.

     There are MANY ANSWERS IN LIFE but REMEMBER that what WORKS for OTHERS may be something that you will REGRET DOING FOR YOURSELF.

     There are USUALLY NO EASY ANSWERS or sometimes even ANSWERS that are even FAIR but.....if it is IMPORTANT then LEARN EVERYTHING so you can MAKE THE BEST DECISION for yourself.

      Everything is DIFFERENT in LIFE and sometimes It is EVEN UNFAIR but... Your LIFE IS YOUR LIFE.

      And since we each only have ONE LIFE TO LIVE.....DO WHAT WORKS BEST FOR YOU.

      DON'T DO ANYTHING that you will REGRET DOING... just do WHAT YOU CAN TO ENJOY EVERY MOMENT THAT YOU CAN..... REGARDLESS of HOW HARD LIFE can be at times.

     LIFE IS LIFE And YOU WON'T REGRET DOING the BEST THAT YOU CAN DO to ENJOY every moment that YOU HAVE TO ENJOY.

    ENJOY LIFE WHILE YOU ARE LIVING IT.

You SHOULD ALWAYS PROTECT YOUR INNER CIRCLE

      You want to DO WHAT FEELS RIGHT but the TRUTH is.....If it is TOO GOOD to be TRUE then it PROBABLY ISN'T TRUE.

     You want to BELIEVE that you CAN BELIEVE THEM......yet the TRUTH is NOT EVERYONE CAN BE BELIEVED.

     You want to HAVE HOPE but...... sometimes that HOPEFULNESS just doesn't feel HOPEFUL ANYMORE.

     You THINK that your NEW ENCOUNTER will ALWAYS BE HONEST but the TRUTH is NOT MANY PEOPLE ARE TRULY HONEST at the END OF THE DAY.

     ALTHOUGH Your FAMILY AND LIFETIME FRIENDS are NOT ALWAYS PERFECT at least when YOU NEED THEM you KNOW YOU CAN COUNT ON THEIR LOYALTY.

     A NEW ENCOUNTER may SEEM FUN but DON'T GIVE UP on YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS just to HANG OUT WITH THEM.

    HAVING FUN when you are OLDER means YOU ALWAYS STICK TO YOUR FAMILY AND LONG TIME FRIENDS because they will always be YOUR FAMILY AND LIFELONG FRIENDS...... TODAY AND TOMORROW.

    ENJOY YOUR NEW ENCOUNTERS...... while YOU PROTECT YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS FOREVER.

    

You have to STOP AND TALK if you want to LEARN MORE about it.

      When I was younger I was TOTALLY BORED by the WEIRD CONVERSATIONS that went on between DIFFERENT ADULTS.

     You would come in to ASK an adult SOMETHING and the RANDOM TYPE of SUBJECTS would be UTTERLY BORING.

     I didn't really CARE ABOUT what they were TALKING ABOUT but I must say there were many WEIRD CONVERSATIONS at times.

    Nowadays FAMILIES seem to SPEND LESS TIME TOGETHER so those RANDOM THOUGHTS don't get TALKED ABOUT ANYMORE.

     In the GROCERY STORE I see MORE CONVERSATIONS between STRANGERS because it's a CHANCE TO JUST TALK.

     I have LEARNED MANY IMPORTANT RECIPES from PEOPLE I will probably NEVER SEE AGAIN but I Am TOTALLY ENJOYING A NEW RECIPE to try.

     Not EVERY FAMILY CAN get TIME TO GATHER AND TALK about SILLY STUFF that we CAN TRY but we ALL HAVE TO GO TO THE GROCERY STORE so..... LEARN what YOU CAN.... WHEREVER YOU CAN.

      When you are at a HARDWARE STORE you just might LEARN HOW TO FIX IT just by ASKING HOW TO FIX IT....NOT QUIETLY WANDERING and NEVER KNOW.

     

Just like KARATE KID you WILL LEARN from WORKING

     Have you NOTICED exactly HOW LONG a PERSON STARES at their phone?

     As I was LISTENING to a podcast they were talking about the NUMBER OF HOURS each PERSON was STARING at their PHONES JUST SCROLLING.

    Many times there are many things that LOOKING ON LINE will HELP YOU.

    The NUMBER OF YOUTUBE videos you had if YOU NEEDED one was PERFECT.

    But then the SOCIAL MEDIA accounts STARTED TAKING OVER most of OUR WAKENING HOURS of EACH DAY.

     It was NO LONGER a PART TIME HOBBY it became OUR ONLY FAIR MOMENT we each had EACH DAY.

    You DIDN'T WANT TO TALK to others IN PERSON ANYMORE.

    Suddenly you just wanted to SPEND every second SCROLLING STRANGERS and you COULD NO LONGER SEE THOSE around you ANYMORE.

     If you want HUMANITY TO CONTINUE then you MUST PHYSICALLY TALK TO OTHER HUMANS.

     START SPENDING time together JUST TALKING about NOTHING yet just like KARATE KID they will LEARN HOW TO REMAIN HUMAN AGAIN.

    WAX ON.... WAX OFF... PUSH UP....PUSH DOWN Is what it takes to SPREAD HUMANITY INTO SOCIETY AGAIN.

    

     

How YOU DRESS is PURELY UP TO YOU

      We were waiting on something so we started WATCHING PEOPLE while we waited.

     We NOTICED that mostly everyone was dressed CONSERVATIVELY.

      That was KINDA BORING because we were trying to AMUSE OURSELVES.

     It didn't take long for us to finally start seeing some very INTERESTING OUTFITS.

    We saw YOUNG people with COLORED HAIR and we saw OLDER people with COLORED HAIR.

    We decided to ENTERTAIN ourselves we would look for the most UNUSUAL COLORS of HAIR and UNUSUAL CLOTHING.

    The most COLORFUL HAIR was the DIFFERENT COLORS OF PURPLE in the CROWD.

     The most EXCITING OUTFITS were not only STRANGE COLORS but they were STRANGELY MADE OUTFITS TOO.

    No matter WHERE YOU GO or WHAT YOU DO there will be MANY INTERESTING PEOPLE to ENTERTAIN YOURSELF.

    WHEN I WAS YOUNG everyone DRESSED THE SAME but NOWADAYS there is MORE than ENOUGH DIFFERENCES for EACH OF US to ENJOY WEARING.

     The COLOR OF THEIR HAIR has NOTHING TO DO with WHO THEY ARE it is JUST FUN TO WEAR whatever YOU WANT TO  WEAR because you WANT TO.

Take what is RIGHT.... and IGNORE what is WRONG

     If you have a GOOD TIME then..... MAKE SURE you PLAN TO DO IT AGAIN one day.

     If it caused you PAIN then..... MAKE SURE you NEVER EVER DO IT AGAIN any time at all.

     If you KNOW it MAKES THEM HAPPY then..... you KNOW what you can do to MAKE THEM HAPPY.

    If you KNOW that it MAKES you NERVOUS then..... MAKE SURE that you NEVER EVER DO IT AGAIN.

    If you KNOW that it's ALL RIGHT then DO WHAT IS RIGHT because HAPPINESS is BETTER when you MAKE the RIGHT DECISION. 

     What WORKS FOR YOU just WORKS FOR YOU....no matter if it HELPS ANYONE ELSE OR NOT.

      Just because a ROAD LOOKS WORN OUT may just be A WORN OUT ROAD because it ONLY LEAD TO KNOW WHERE and everyone had to go BACK OVER IT to GET MOVING AGAIN.

     If you WANT TO BE PROUD.... be PROUD OF YOURSELF and DO WHAT IS BEST FOR YOURSELF FIRST to be the BEST YOU THAT YOU CAN BE.

Is there ANYTHING that you could only WISH you could APOLOGIZE FOR?

      There are many LITTLE THINGS that YOU DID THROUGHOUT YOUR LIFE that YOU WOULDN'T HAVE SAID if YOU COULD CHANGE IT but YOU CAN'T.

     You can FEEL the EXTREME INTENSITY when your DECISION that will then MAKE..... WILL AFFECT MORE PEOPLE THAN JUST YOURSELF.

     If YOU SAID YOU WOULD then ... YOU SHOULD ONLY IF YOU CAN because YOU SAID YOU WOULD...but STOP DOING MORE THAN YOU SHOULD just because THEY ASK YOU.

     Sometimes YOU WANT TO..... but the TRUTH IS that YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF FIRST.

      When I was YOUNGER I thought that I HAD TO HELP EVERY CHANCE I HAD but the TRUTH IS that if I WANT TO DO MY BEST then I have to TAKE CARE OF MYSELF FIRST.

      You KNOW LIKE THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT SAYS OUT LOUD in the AIRPLANE that YOU HAVE TO PUT YOUR OWN MASK ON FIRST to be ABLE TO HELP ANYONE ELSE.

     BE KIND TO YOURSELF so YOU CAN BE THE BEST YOU THAT YOU CAN BE.

What is worst ...a PRETEND INCIDENT or a REAL INCIDENT?

      When you WORRY about WHAT COULD HAPPEN you cause yourself TREMENDOUS PROBLEMS whether it REALLY HAPPENS TO YOU OR NOT.

      The STRESS you PUT YOURSELF THROUGH even if it ISN'T REAL or NOT...  CAUSES SEVERAL PHYSICAL as well as EMOTIONAL problems.

      When you FEEL YOURSELF start FEELING AGGRAVATED you FEEL the EXTREME INTENSITY on EVERY INCH of YOUR BODY.

     You FEEL your ANGER STRESSING EVERY INCH OF YOUR BODY.

     You FEEL SO ANGRY that you can SEE the PAIN START SWELLING DOWN YOUR NECK causing you to LOSE OXYGEN to YOUR BRAIN.

     If you FEEL YOURSELF getting ANGRY over THINGS that MAY NOT EVEN HAPPEN..... YOU NEED TO STOP and WAIT UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS before you get SICK.

     If you don't NEED TO WORRY......THEN DON'T.

     

      

      

 

     

You CAN because it HAPPENED to CAUSE IT

      Every Day is a NEW DAY as long as YOU ENJOY THE MOMENT you are in NOT WASTE IT thinking about ANOTHER DAY.

      There MAY BE many ways TO DO IT but the only thing that WORKS for you is what you WILL HAVE TO DO.

     It may SOUND GOOD but that DOESN'T MEAN that it IS SOMETHING for you to do.

     What works for SOMEONE ELSE may NOT WORK for you because IT JUST DOESN'T work for you.

     You may have WANTED IT but..... you GET WHAT YOU GET IN LIFE, that's JUST LIFE.

     What HAPPENS is what is MEANT TO HAPPEN to GET YOU Wear you were MEANT TO BE REGARDLESS of where YOU THOUGHT you COULD BE.

     WHEREVER YOU ARE PLANTED TODAY is WHERE YOU WILL BUILD YOUR FEET DEEP in the GROUND to GROW STRONGLY TO WEATHER OUT the LIFE STORMS.

    LIFE is LIFE and YESTERDAY is already gone and TOMORROW may never come but TODAY IS YOUR'S TO ENJOY while you are LIVING IT.

  

     

What can you FIND when you have PLENTY OF TIME to FIND IT?

      I WOKE UP super early this morning so I DECIDED to get DRESSED and GO DRIVING and SEE what I could FIND.

     It was a BEAUTIFUL SUNNY MORNING and EVEN DRIVING was BEAUTIFUL TODAY even with a little bit of TRAFFIC.

     I DECIDED to stop by our local Dunkin DONUTS and grab a quick SWEETENED DOUGHNUT to get EXCITEDLY MOVING.

    I REMEMBERED that the local Joann fabrics store was closing so I DECIDED to head that way and SEE what else I might FIND within my 35 minute ride to GET THERE. 

     I DECIDED to stop by EACH OF the WALGREENS stores along the way..... two on the WAY THERE and two on the WAY BACK HOME.

     When I got to the store I JUST COULDN'T believe HOW EMPTY the CRAFT STORE would be in JUST TWO WEEKS of CLOSING.

    I was HOPING to pick up a few CHRISTMAS ITEMS but there WASN'T ANYTHING but EMPTY SHELVES.

    I THOUGHT okay I will pick up a few CHRISTMAS PRESENTS of CRAFTS for my GRANDKIDS for CHRISTMAS.... but those SHELVES were EMPTY TWO.

    Then I THOUGHT I could get a great deal on a few SEWING MACHINES for my older GRANDKIDS but although they HAD PLENTY they had not GONE DOWN in price but by 15 Percent.

    I DECIDED to just GRAB A FEW little things and get the SEWING MACHINE only when they got EVEN CHEAPER.

     I REALIZED that Just because a STORE IS CLOSING doesn't mean that you are GOING TO GET a GOOD PRICE on anything.

    I then at least GOT EXCITED that HOPEFULLY I could FIND some GOOD PRICES on something at the WALGREENS for someone's CHRISTMAS on the way home.

    I DIDN'T FIND anything TODAY but it was such a BEAUTIFUL DAY REGARDLESS of NOT FINDING ANYTHING special AT ALL.

    When the SUN COMES SHINING you can ENJOY A SUNNY DAY. 🌻

The FLOWERING GARDEN can't GROW unless you WATER IT

     If you LOVE FLOWERS then DECIDE if you are GOING TO WATER THEM or LEAVE THEM AT THE STORE for everyone to ENJOY THEM because if you don't WATER THEM then they CAN'T GROW.

     The NUMBER OF NEW FLOWERS my husband bought at Home Depot was so AMAZING TO SEE AT OUR HOUSE TODAY.

     My husband has BECAME an instant GARDENER just by all the MISTAKES he made from HIS FIRST GARDEN that he made LAST YEAR.

    We got to TOTALLY ENJOY every MOMENT we had with the FLOWERS he bought but..... they DIDN'T SURVIVE through the winter.

     This Year he BOUGHT specifically by KNOWING exactly what he KNEW he would NEED this year.

    The FIRST thing he did was by at least ONE OF EVERY COLOR of FLOWER that they OWNED so HE COULD ENJOY them all.

    I always KNEW I didn't GROW A GOOD GARDEN because it REQUIRES YOU to CONSTANTLY WATER THEM EVERY SINGLE DAY.... and UNFORTUNATELY I didn't so they didn't GROW.

     My Husband though..... ACTUALLY LOVES WATERING them every day so HE CAN ENJOY every NEW FLOWER that GROWS ON HIS FLOWERS.

    NEXT WEEK it will be back in the EIGHTY DEGREE WEATHER here and those FLOWERS are going to be MIGHTY THIRSTY 😍.

    If you aren't going to WATER THEM then YOU KNOW that THEY WON'T GROW.

     

    

   

Have you noticed it?

      Have you EVER SEEN the TIME when PEOPLE ARE JUST EXTREMELY RUDE?

     Have you EVER HEARD someone just be EXTREMELY ridiculous to someone?

     Have you EVER SAW someone be EXTREMELY SELFISH for themselves?

     Have you EVER THOUGHT about being TOTALLY RIDICULOUS for how YOU HAVE ACTED?

     IF YOU don't just RELAX and THINK LONG and HARD..... BEFORE you REACT.... YOU might REALIZE that....YOU SHOULD HAVE STOPPED BEFORE YOU REACTED.

     There are MANY THINGS that HAPPEN that SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED.... BUT.....IF IT DID then you SHOULD THINK NEXT TIME BEFORE YOU REACT AT ALL. 

      YOU KNOW we all MAKE MISTAKES but.....it doesn't mean that YOU SHOULD EVER, EVER, EVER REDO IT EVER AGAIN.

    ONCE YOU LEARN....THEN LEARN IT..... AND DON'T EVER DO IT AGAIN....EVER.

     Even if YOUR PARENTS forgot to tell you......then FROM THIS DAY FORWARD... IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING NICE TO SAY....THEN DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL.

     YOUR CHOICES are YOUR CHOICES and EVERY CHOICE YOU MAKE MATTERS.

      YOUR GOOD FORTUNE IS....that YOU ARE AN AWESOME PERSON AND YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF YOURSELF.

    BE KIND TO EVERYONE YOU MEET......BECAUSE YOU SHOULD.

     

Never before NOW have we NEEDED TO.... JUST LISTEN

      I was LISTENING to different people TALKING about all the DIFFERENT FRUSTRATIONS that they were DEALING with just at that VERY TIME of their LIVES TODAY.

     Because when you are at a DOCTOR'S OFFICE you get PLENTY of EXTRA TIME to just sit and PATIENTLY WAIT AND LISTEN while WAITING for your turn to go see the doctor.

     And wherever and whenever you have plenty of EXTRA TIME...... it gives you plenty of TIME TO THINK about many things that you NORMALLY WOULDN'T have thought about at all.

     When I was YOUNGER we ROUTINELY went to have DINNER at least ONCE A MONTH at many PEOPLE'S HOUSES WHO WE TREASURED to STAY CONNECTED.

     We got to SPEND many MOMENTS LEARNING to CREATE NEW MEMORIES together as well as LEARNING from ALL OF OUR LIVES together OVER AND OVER again.

     The MORE TIME you SPEND with OTHERS then the MORE YOU SEE just how IMPORTANT THOSE SPECIAL MEMORIES would be to you when you are OLDER.

     We ALL THINK just LISTENING can be a WASTE OF TIME but the LITTLE THINGS I LEARNED by JUST LISTENING can one day be EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED TO HEAR LATER in my Life.

     When you get TIME TO LISTEN then..... JUST LISTEN.

     

     

They THINK they KNOW but they DON'T KNOW

     You can THINK YOU KNOW but the TRUTH is YOU ONLY KNOW what they CHOOSE to tell you.

     You may THINK YOU KNOW.... yet WHAT YOU KNOW is.... Only WHAT YOU PRETEND THAT YOU KNOW even though YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW MUCH AT ALL... REALLY.

     When SOMEONE ASK....ALL YOU KNOW is you have to GUESS.... because YOU REALLY HAVE NO IDEA what is REALLY HAPPENING AT ALL.

     JUST ENJOY the precious time you get to SPEND WITH THEM because....we only HAVE THE TIME WE HAVE.

     SO ENJOY EVERY MOMENT that you have even though YOU WILL NEVER KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM.

    I REALIZED that I DON'T NEED TO KNOW but I do NEED TO ENJOY hanging out with THEM EVERY MOMENT that I can.

    Just because YOU KNOW THEM doesn't mean that YOU KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM.

As I listened I had to ASK.....

       As a good friend was talking about how a worker was talking to her.....I wandered if when I was working would I have been angry about FRUSTRATION like that?

      As I was listening to my Doctor I was wondering if I was ASKING MYSELF if I was doing everything that she was ASKING me to do.

      I don't always ASK MYSELF WHY but ...the TRUTH IS..... If you needed to Would you if you could do anything that you needed to?

      WE ALL MUST HELP PEOPLE LEARN how LITTLE THINGS can GET YOU CLOGGED UP and cause you to SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY.

     Until WE LEARN HOW then WE CAN'T LEARN..... what DOES WORK and what DOESN'T WORK....so WE KNOW WHAT IS BEST FOR US TO DO.

       Only If you ASK YOURSELF will YOU KNOW the ANSWERS.....OR NEVER ASK and never have NO ANSWER AT ALL to MAKE YOUR DECISION ON TODAY.

       ASK YOURSELF so YOU WILL KNOW what YOU SHOULD DO to ENJOY LIFE while you are LIVING IT.

       

      

     

      

I seem to really ENJOY a few.......

      Hearing about SOMETHING is SOMETIMES a REAL READING into THING'S you never thought about.

      Eating GRILLED CHICKEN is DIFFERENT from PLACE TO PLACE so the DRESSING has a lot to do with WITCH ONE YOU will REALLY LIKE. 

      Which one you CHOOSE is the one in which you CHOOSE TO LIKE to be.... WHICH IS WHY YOU CHOOSE TO BE TOTALLY HONEST FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED.

      YOU CAN PEACEFULLY CHOOSE which one we REALLY CHOOSE to PEACEFULLY LIVE WITHIN YOURSELF TO DO FOR.... THE BEST YOU THAT YOU CAN BE.

     You can CHOOSE TO LOVE SOMEONE WHO IS OPPOSITE OF YOURSELF......as long as TOGETHER..... YOU ARE ABLE TO BE YOURSELF IN FRONT OF..... HONESTLY.

      TOGETHER WE CAN HONESTLY BE OURSELVES and HONESTLY HAVE A BLAST TOGETHER FOREVER.

      LOVE IS..... HONESTLY BEING HONEST WHEN WE ARE TOGETHER.

    

     

We were thinking about it then......

     It's EASY to THINK about it but that doesn't MEAN it will be an EASY DECISION.

     It's EASY to DECIDE even though it is HARD to CONSIDER everything that we ALL have to THINK extremely HARD ABOUT.

     I wish that EVERY DECISION would HELP EVERY ONE but the TRUTH is that there will be many PEOPLE who WILL HATE EVERYTHING that happens.

    We CAN'T ALL GET everything that we NEED but we can MAKE SURE that EVERYONE can get ENOUGH to GET BY ON.

     You don't have to have EVERYTHING that you NEED but as long as you have EVERYTHING that you NEED then you can be HAPPY ENOUGH.

     I DON'T THINK that EVERYONE THINKS THE SAME but I DO KNOW that EVERYONE OF US hope EVERYONE is HAPPY because a HAPPY PERSON MAKES THE WORLD GO BETTER.

     There will be MANY TIMES that you WON'T GET EVERYTHING but.... as LONG AS YOU HAVE EVERYTHING that you NEED then you will have EVERYTHING that you will NEED.

     As SOON AS YOU UNDERSTAND then YOU WILL UNDERSTAND that EVERY THING that you NEED is ALL THAT YOU NEED.

     I DIDN'T get EVERYTHING but...... I got EVERYTHING that I HAD TO HAVE.

      As soon as you ACCEPT IT then you will ACCEPT IT and GET BACK ON TRACK.

As we shared our past we realized.....

     It's hard to IMAGINE what time was like when you were young.

     If you are YOUNG it's hard to remember what had happened just months ago.

     When you are OLDER it's easy to remember some of the things that you had done but.....most of it gets LOST IN SPACE.

      I wish I would have WRITTEN A NOTE about times gone by. 

      I have many decades of books I paid BILLS with but I don't have that many things that I personally did from decades ago.

     Unfortunately when you get WAY OLD you really don't remember much about the past but.... There are many things you do remember about your spouse.

     There are MANY THINGS you do remember about your CHILDREN when they were young.

     And if you have GRANDCHILDREN there are many things that you will ALWAYS REMEMBER them for..... mostly to Love. 😘

     If you want to REMEMBER what is MOST IMPORTANT then..... write it down so you WILL NEVER FORGET IT again.

Boy it has rained over and over again

      There isn't time to forget that the rain is coming over and over again no matter how much rain we wanted to have.

     You have to move all the things under your garage size so it doesn't get everything wet.

     I brought in the plants inside to keep them off the things outside that hold these plants.

     I drove by the other day and saw that once you move everything than there are many things that you just have to do well regardless of how many lanes.

     I was watching the neighbors and no matter what I think I am afraid they will lose this together no matter how much it rains.

      Well as I have to go just wait for the willing to go I see that without a doubt I see the neighbors shares and their table is now all the way back by their house.

     Well I thought that everything that we moved was find but unfortunately our table and chairs and the tables outside are also thrown all over the place. 

     Well I know that no matter how many times we move everything that no matter how many things we move then something else will happen eventually.

     Luckily the rain should be over shortly and tomorrow we will put things back when we are grown.

    And THANK GOD..... none of us last a tree this time.

      The rain will come when it comes...... and we all must just stay inside and be safe.

      

Just because YOU CAN doesn't mean that YOU SHOULD

       Just because you can qualify for a BIGGER HOUSE doesn't mean that you SHOULD take on BIGGER PAYMENTS for a BIGGER HOUSE that is WAY BIGGER than you KNOW that you even need.

    You can EITHER get in the HABIT of BUYING yourself something special every month that you KNOW that you don't really need or..... 

     You can get in the HABIT of putting that EXTRA little bit of money in YOUR SAVINGS each month.

    Which one do you think that you will BENEFIT from?....an OBJECT that COLLECTS DUST or one that COLLECTS INTEREST?

    LIFE is full of CHOICES that YOU WILL have to MAKE throughout YOUR LIFE'S JOURNEY.

     So remember that if you CAN'T AFFORD IT then DON'T BUY IT because you SHOULD CHOOSE to PEACEFULLY LIVE WITHIN YOUR MEANS..... 

   ....not EXHAUST YOURSELF WORKING to make MONTHLY PAYMENTS on the things you bought just because you were TRYING to KEEP UP WITH THE JONES'S.

     To Be THANKFUL for WHAT YOU DO HAVE..... TAKES APPRECIATING WHAT YOU DO HAVE as well as.... SHOWING that you are THANKFUL FOR IT by TAKING CARE OF WHAT YOU DO HAVE.

     NOWADAYS people BUY NEW STUFF just because they want a DIFFERENT COLOR but.... in the GOOD OLD DAYS if it WASN'T BROKEN you definitely WOULDN'T THINK ABOUT BUYING a NEW ONE.

      

     

   

You are not DEFINED by what has happened TO YOU but.......

      You aren't WHO you are simply because of what has happened TO YOU but.... you are WHO you are by HOW YOU REACT to what has happened TO YOU.

     You may have had NO CHOICE to be able to PREVENT it from HAPPENING to you but.... you DO GET TO CHOOSE how YOU WILL REACT to what has happened to you.

     You can either be YOUR BIGGEST CHEERLEADER....OR YOUR WORST ENEMY... which one will YOU CHOOSE TO BE?

     You may have gained weight when you were YOUNG because you didn't have a HEALTHY DIET when you were growing up but......

     When you are an ADULT it is YOUR CHOICE whether you EAT HEALTHIER and lose the extra weight.... you can't BLAME ANYONE but YOURSELF if you are an ADULT who is OVERWEIGHT.

      YOU CHOOSE whether you are an HONEST PERSON or not regardless if anyone around you CHOOSES TO BE DISHONEST..... it's HONESTLY up to you TO CHOOSE to be an HONEST PERSON.

     YOU ARE WHO YOU CHOOSE TO BE SO..... CHOOSE TO BE A KIND, CARING, HONEST HUMAN BEING..... IT'S UP TO YOU to CHOOSE to be the BEST YOU that YOU CAN BE.

     You can BLAME IT ON THE MOON but.....the TRUTH IS.....YOU have NO ONE but YOURSELF TO BLAME for everything you CHOOSE TO DO.

     

     

It's time for SPRING EVENTUALLY EVERYWHERE so....

      DEPENDING on WHERE you LIVE will DETERMINE when personally EACH of OUR SPRING SEASON WILL ARRIVE. 

     BUT..... NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE LIVING .....SPRING is just around the corner BEHIND your WINTER SEASON you are EXPERIENCING NOW.

      There are some GARDEN VEGETABLES that NEED to be PLANTED at the END OF WINTER.... REGARDLESS when YOUR WINTER SEASON ENDS.

     There are LOTS of SPRING CLEANING JOBS that we can get done AHEAD OF SPRINGS ARRIVAL.

     It's TIME to CLEAN your CEILING FANS at THE END OF EVERY SEASON.

    It's TIME to WASH YOUR CURTAINS AND WINDOWS so you are EXCITEDLY WAITING to OPEN YOUR Windows and ENJOY SOME FRESH AIR EVERY SEASON.

     It's TIME to DECLUTTER your HOUSE and either PLAN A YARD SALE or PLAN a TRIP TO DROP THEM OFF to DONATE so you have a CLUTTER FREE HOUSE TO ENJOY SPENDING TIME IN.... EVERY SEASON.

      BUT WHATEVER YOU DO.....GET RID OF THEM........ DON'T JUST MOVE YOUR CLUTTER AROUND because..... it's CLUTTERING UP YOUR HOUSE and YOUR MIND.

    IF YOU WANT a PEACEFUL HOUSE AND PEACE OF MIND you have to take ALL THE CLUTTER INSIDE AND OUT AND.... JUST FLUSH IT out of YOUR HOUSE so YOU MAKE ROOM for PEACE OF MIND to GET IN.

     

     

    

    

      

    

    

Do you AGREE?

     You wouldn't HIRE an ELECTRICIAN to fix your PLUMBING PROBLEMS..... WOULD YOU?

     You wouldn't IGNORE IT if it was really IMPORTANT.... WOULD YOU?

     You can't PEACEFULLY DISCUSS EVERY SUBJECT with EVERYONE because NOT EVERYONE AGREES with YOUR WAY OF THINKING.

     And UNFORTUNATELY it can CAUSE TENSION between SOMEONE because NOT EVERYONE CAN AGREE TO DISAGREE to keep the RELATIONSHIP between EVERYONE PEACEFUL.

    SO...  LEARN WHO likes FOOTBALL SO.... you know WHO you CAN PEACEFULLY TALK TO about FOOTBALL.

    If you KNOW that the person you are with has a DIFFERENT RELIGIOUS OR POLITICAL OPINION than YOU DO then.... DON'T TALK ABOUT ANYTHING RELIGIOUS OR POLITICAL WITH THEM.

    If you KNOW someone is a DIABETIC then DON'T BAKE THEM A CAKE and then GET MAD that THEY DIDN'T EAT IT.

    You can ENJOY going out to DINNER with your FRIEND that is a VEGETARIAN..... as long as you DON'T EXPECT them to EAT MEAT.

   We are all DIFFERENT so of course we WON'T AGREE ON EVERYTHING.

    But we can AGREE TO DISAGREE PEACEFULLY and STILL REMAIN KIND to EACH OTHER..... DON'T YOU AGREE?

Don't LET a TEN MINUTE TASK keep you BUSY STRESSING ABOUT IT for TEN DAYS

      If it takes FIVE MINUTES TO DO then..... SPEND the FIVE MINUTES to get it DONE so you don't WASTE FIVE DAYS STRESSING about HAVING TO DO IT.

      If it NEEDS to get DONE and it is UP TO YOU TO DO IT then..... JUST DO IT so it will GET DONE.

    Have you ever saw something on the ground and for days you just KEPT WALKING AROUND IT?

     ASK YOURSELF WHY you KEPT WALKING AROUND IT.

    Have you ever PUT OFF an ERRAND for so LONG that you were LATE BY THE TIME you GOT IT DONE?

      ASK YOURSELF WHY you KEPT PUTTING IT OFF and make sure next time you NEED TO DO IT....then JUST DO IT.....AS SOON AS YOU CAN.

      If YOU want PEACE OF MIND then.....GET 'R DONE so you can JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind after it's DONE so you can have ROOM for PEACE OF MIND to GET IN.

     The SOONER YOU GET IT DONE.....the SOONER you can STOP STRESSING about HAVING TO DO IT.

     The next time you start making EXCUSES about WHY YOU CAN'T DO IT.... STOP AND....REMIND YOURSELF WHY  YOU SHOULD JUST GET 'R DONE.

     

     

Be careful not to RAMBLE because....

      You have to be CAREFUL to not RAMBLE when you are talking to someone.

      Unfortunately your WORDS said OUT LOUD are PERMANENTLY HEARD. 

    What you say while RAMBLING usually you WOULDN'T SAY if you really THOUGHT about what you wanted to say.

    What you say when you are ANGRY you WOULDN'T SAY if you WAITED until you WEREN'T ANGRY ANYMORE.

    What you say when you are TIRED may come out in a GROUCHY WAY because you are TIRED so give yourself time to WAKE UP first.

    STOP AND THINK BEFORE you SAY IT OUT LOUD.

     Just like BEFORE you SEND a TEXT into CYBERSPACE because you know that once you  SEND IT then it will now be in PERMANENT INK. 

    It's also true that once you SAY IT OUT LOUD...... it is PERMANENTLY HEARD.

    And REMEMBER what your Mom said.....If you don't have anything NICE TO SAY.....then DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL.

    

Did you FIND IT?

     What you FIND will be DETERMINED by.... what you CHOOSE to LOOK FOR.

    If you EXPECT to have ANY CHANCE that you will FIND IT..... you have to SEARCH FOR IT to have ANY CHANCE of FINDING IT.

    WHATEVER you GET in LIFE will REQUIRE you to DO WHATEVER IT TAKES to GET IT.

     You won't ALWAYS GET what you WANT NO MATTER what YOU DO but if YOU ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST....

     Then you will ALWAYS KNOW that YOU DID EVERYTHING that YOU COULD DO NO MATTER how things turn out.

     And at the END OF THE DAY.....ALL THAT MATTERS is that you are PROUD OF EVERYTHING that YOU DO EACH DAY.

    On your LIFE'S JOURNEY remember also that IF YOU SEE TROUBLE COMING.... GET OUT OF THE WAY!

     LIFE IS ALL IN HOW YOU LOOK AT IT 🤩 

     If you don't like WHAT you SEE.... LOOK AT IT DIFFERENTLY.

    

   

     

Every DECADE is DIFFERENT

     When you are YOUNG you THINK everything YOU DREAM will COME TRUE.... GUARANTEED.

     When you are a TEENAGER you THINK you are INVINCIBLE and you are GUARANTEED to SUCCEED.

    When you are in your TWENTIES you BEGIN TO SEE that LIFE is full of OBSTACLES that you must FACE.

    When you are in your THIRTIES you have LEARNED that just because it is something that YOU DREAMED about it doesn't mean all YOUR DREAMS will ACTUALLY COME TRUE.

    BY the time you hit your FORTIES you.... well you REALIZE that YOUR LIFE....YOU BUILT through HARD WORK AND SACRIFICES to GET WHERE YOU ARE NOW.

    THEN......comes your FIFTIES.... and YOU NO LONGER CARE what ANYONE ELSE THINKS....IT MEANS FREEDOM....YOU ARE FREE TO BE YOURSELF.

     But ONE THING is for sure......DON'T EXPECT WISDOM to come with AGE because WISDOM ISN'T GUARANTEED 😜 

     ENJOY LIFE while you are LIVING IT...... EVERYDAY AT EVERY AGE.

When you LOOK FORWARD to your DAILY WALK so you get what you need while you are getting HEALTHY

       Have you ever PASSED UP the ROAD you were LOOKING for because you were UNABLE TO SEE It because.... you can't TALK ON YOUR PHONE and SEE AT THE SAME TIME?

     Have you ever WALKED ALL THE WAY INTO a ROOM and then SUDDENLY..... YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU even WALKED in there for?

   TRUST ME it HAPPENS TO ALL OF US from TIME TO TIME, but NOT EVERYBODY WILL ADMIT IT.

     Have you ever finally stopped by your local Walmart and NO MATTER HOW Hard you THOUGHT ABOUT IT you just couldn't remember what you had said MANY TIMES that you NEEDED THE NEXT TIME YOU GET TO WALMART?

      YOU NEVER KNOW if you will GET DISTRACTED one way or another..... no matter how old you are..... and YOU JUST FORGET IT.... ESPECIALLY when you TRY TOO HARD TO REMEMBER IT.

      If YOU DO WRITE A LIST OF WHAT YOU NEED,  have you ever gotten to the store and REALIZED THAT YOU FORGOT THE LIST AT HOME?

     I NOW UNDERSTAND WHY my father-in-law and his friends WALKED TO get their EXERCISE in the SUPER WALMART STORE.

       He said it was VERY HELPFUL because they were ALWAYS ALREADY AT A STORE when..... WHAT THEY NEEDED POPPED BACK UP IN THEIR MINDS AND THEY picked it up on their MORNING WALK.

      

        

      

      

    

     

      

JUST ENJOY IT

      Not EVERY MOMENT is going to be ENJOYABLE....but EVERY MOMENT is a MOMENT YOU have a CHANCE to ENJOY.

     ALTHOUGH NOT ANYONE is PERFECT..... there are MANY PEOPLE who make PERFECTLY GOOD FRIENDS.

    NOT EVERYTHING will happen like YOU WANT IT TO but it CAN HAPPEN...... just it may HAPPEN A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY.

     DON'T GIVE UP when things get TOUGH because you are TOUGH ENOUGH to ACHIEVE IT as long as you DON'T GIVE UP.

     You may be DISAPPOINTED that YOUR PLANS won't work out like you had PLANNED but....

     Sometimes that is because that is the way it is  SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN.... AND THAT IS THE WAY IT HAD TO HAPPEN.

     EVERYTHING HAPPENS for a REASON..... even though you MAY NOT SEE THE REASON AT THAT MOMENT.

    SOMETIMES it takes a TORNADO in your PERSONAL LIFE to get you WHERE you were SUPPOSED TO BE.

     ENJOY LIFE WHILE YOU ARE LIVING IT...BOTH ON on the GOOD DAYS and the BAD DAYS.

    LIFE is like a ROLLERCOASTER AND ROLLERCOASTERS are full of UPS AND DOWNS as well as TWISTS AND TURNS.

     ENJOY THE RIDE 🎢

If it happened in THE PAST....

    WORRYING about what happened in THE PAST is MAKING YOU SICK TODAY.

    STRESSING out about something that happened in THE PAST is STRESSING you out TODAY.

    WISHING you would have done things differently in THE PAST is a WASTE OF YOUR TIME TODAY.

    Don't KEEP IT FRESH on your mind or you will STINK UP ALL YOUR TODAY'S.

     If you are able to APOLOGIZE to anyone you had hurt in THE PAST then APOLOGIZE and JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind so you can ENJOY THE PRESENT.

    If you can't APOLOGIZE then FORGIVE YOURSELF and JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind so you can ENJOY TODAY.

    WE ONLY have THE TIME WE HAVE SO..... ENJOY THE TIME YOU HAVE TODAY by LEAVING THE PAST IN THE PAST so YOU CAN ENJOY YOUR TODAY'S.

    Sometimes there just is NO ANSWER to WHY IT HAPPENED, not even on Google.

    YOU may have not have had a CHANCE to PREVENT it from happening TO YOU....but YOU DO have a CHOICE whether you KEEP IT FRESH on your mind and KEEP RELIVING IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

     Take the PAINFUL EXPERIENCES from THE PAST and..... JUST FLUSH IT....OUT OF YOUR MIND.

    If YOU want PEACE OF MIND you have to JUST FLUSH IT so PEACE OF MIND will have ROOM to GET IN.

    MAKE ROOM for PEACE OF MIND. 

    PEACE OF MIND really is JUST A FLUSH AWAY...... YOU GOT TO GET IN THE HABIT and JUST FLUSH IT as it comes.

     

Many BATTLES are fought IN OUR MINDS

     YOU CAN'T have a FEELING without FIRST having a THOUGHT.

     If YOU BELIEVE that it is TRUE then to YOU it is the TRUTH.

    YOUR THOUGHTS make up the REALITY that YOU WILL LIVE whether it is REALLY TRUE OR NOT.... because to YOU IT IS the TRUTH.

    If YOU CHANGE HOW YOU LOOK AT IT then..... WHAT YOU WILL SEE ....WILL CHANGE.

    ONLY IF YOU KEEP YOUR EYES WIDE OPEN will you then....SEE what the TRUTH REALLY IS.

    If YOU THINK IT IS REAL then to YOU IT IS REAL.... whether it is REAL OR NOT.

    If YOU WANT to KNOW the TRUTH......THEN YOU will have to GET THE FACTS so YOU will KNOW THE TRUTH.

    If YOU want to make an INFORMED DECISION..... then GET INFORMED....

     OTHERWISE YOU are making an UNEDUCATED GUESS that have CONSEQUENCES that YOU ALONE will have to LIVE WITH for YOUR LIFETIME.

    SOMEONE ELSE'S OPINION is just THEIR OPINION..... that DOESN'T make it a FACT.

    DON'T let ANYONE'S OPINION.... AFFECT YOUR OPINION......LET THE FACTS FORM YOUR OPINION..... because YOUR OPINION determines YOUR REALITY.

    MANY BATTLES are FOUGHT IN YOUR MIND .....SO.... CHOOSE YOUR THOUGHTS WISELY and YOU WILL WIN THE WAR AGAINST NEGATIVE THOUGHTS which DETERMINES YOUR REALITY.

    Remember PETER PAN could ONLY FLY if HE THOUGHT HAPPY THOUGHTS.

     When a NEGATIVE THOUGHT tries to GRAB YOUR ATTENTION.... JUST FLUSH IT... out of YOUR MIND and CHOOSE HAPPY THOUGHTS LIKE PETER PAN.

    

    

A BORING DAY BEING SICK WITH THE FLU AT HOME is a DAY YOU SHOULD BE THANKFUL YOU DIDN'T SPREAD IT TO ANYONE ELSE

    The FLU SEASON this year is TOTALLY DISRUPTING what you FEEL LIKE DOING or WHAT YOU CAN EVEN DO.

    YOU CAN'T go out not only because YOU ARE TOO SICK but also because it is HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS and YOU SHOULDN'T SPREAD the FLU.

     Why? Because it can have a DEVASTATINGLY IMPACT on those YOU SPREAD YOUR FLU to.

    There are SOME PEOPLE BOTH YOUNG AND OLD who's HEALTH CAN NOT HANDLE the FLU.

    I KNOW that YOU HAVE THINGS TO DO and if YOU DON'T DO IT THEN NO ONE WILL do IT and  it WON'T GET DONE but..... YOU SHOULDN'T SPREAD THE FLU.... PERIOD.

    If YOU have gotten the FLU then YOU KNOW that YOU JUST GOT TO STAY HOME and GET PLENTY OF REST and DRINK PLENTY OF WATER and before YOU KNOW IT IN A FEW DAYS YOU WILL RECOVER FROM THE FLU.

    YOU NEVER KNOW WHO WILL BE AT THE GROCERY STORE that is just TOO WEAK TO CATCH THE FLU.

    YOU NEVER KNOW WHO IS AT THE ELECTRIC COMPANY when you go to pay your bill...WHO HAS A COMPROMISED IMMUNE SYSTEM and they are just TOO WEAK TO CATCH THE FLU.

    YOU NEVER KNOW WHO AT THE RETAIL STORE that you VISIT has CANCER AND THEY are just TOO WEAK to HANDLE CATCHING THE FLU.

    Having the FLU MEANS YOU SHOULD STAY HOME so YOU DON'T SPREAD THE FLU TO OTHERS ....... PERIOD.... It's that SIMPLE...DON'T SPREAD THE FLU.

    REMEMBER....WHATEVER NEEDS DONE CAN WAIT A FEW DAYS WHILE YOU RECOVER FROM THE FLU....SO WAIT UNTIL YOU RECOVER FROM THE FLU.
