At least I aint the only one....

     Buying electronics is FUN for SOME PEOPLE and yet SOME PEOPLE FEEL LOST IN USING IT. 

      Unfortunately I had to get a NEW PHONE because mine broke and although THE PRICE WOULD BE SCARY it was about GETTING ALL MY PHONE to WORK ON all my OLD STUFF.

    Luckily MRS. VALERIE at the PHONE STORE took her time and SHE SUCEEDED and it literally brought tears streaming down my face. 

     I had written down all my addresses and I had my passwords to reopen anything IF NECESSARY. 

    But ALL THE YEARS OF PICTURES that I TREASURED but HAD NEVER COPIED could GET LOST and that would BE UPSETTING. 

     And MY OLD TEXT... WELL....THOSE WERE VERY IMPORTANT TO HOPEFULLY GET SAVED.

      AND I had two friends who had recently passed away and THEIR TEXT WERE VERY IMPORTANT TO ME. 

      I had told Mrs. Valerie how IMPORTANT IT WAS TO RETRIEVE MY OLD TEXT so as the wires were stretched from my OLD PHONE and my NEW PHONE I SAT NERVOUSLY WAITING to FIND OUT.

     And.....THANK YOU MRS. VALERIE ! ALL OF MY PICTURES AND TEXTS WERE SAVED as well as ALMOST EVERTHING. 

     BUT ON MOST OF MY GAMES I had to START BACK AT LEVEL ONE.

     BUT I GOT EVERYTHING ELSE so YEAH FOR ME!

     It made me start singing a line of an old song that said.... YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT but if YOU TRY YOU JUST MIGHT FIND THAT YOU GET WHAT YOU NEED.

     Remember that YOU MIGHT GET WET WHEN IT RAINS TOO but....WE NEED THE RAIN SO BE THANKFUL FOR THE RAIN.

     And STARTING OUT ON LEVEL ONE ON A GAME wasn't fun but I AM LOOKING PRETTY COOL AS I FLY THROUGH THESE GAMES FAST AS LIGHTNING.

    

    

     

     

     

PERHAPS YOU COULD but.... SHOULD YOU?

      Just because YOU CAN may make YOU THINK about DOING it but whether YOU SHOULD DEPENDS ON whether YOU FIGURE OUT IF YOU SHOULD OR SHOULDN'T.

      The SHORTEST WAY TO DO SOMETHING may TAKE LESS TIME but DOES TAKING LESS TIME HELP YOU IN THE LONG RUN?

      A LONG ROAD may TAKE LONGER but the BUMPS ON THE SHORTER ROAD IS FULL OF BUMPS which can cause a LOT OF DAMAGE TO YOUR CAR.

     So a SHORTER ROAD will COST YOU LESS TIME but it WILL ALSO COST YOU MORE IN CAR REPAIRS. So ASK YOURSELF if a SHORTER DRIVE is WORTH IT?

     Have you ever HEARD the phrase.....If it SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE THEN IT PROBABLY ISN'T TRUE?

      Well TRUST ME...... IT PROBABLY ISN'T TRUE.

      But YOU ALONE GET TO CHOOSE WHAT YOU WILL DO so KEEP IN MIND that EVERYTHING YOU DO OR SAY during YOUR LIFETIME YOU WILL PAY THE CONSEQUENCES FOR.

      SO BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING OR SAY ANYTHING REMEMBER that IT IS UP TO YOU so CHOOSE WISELY.

       LIFE is LIFE and YOU GET TO CHOOSE WHO YOU ARE by WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO DO EVERYDAY OF YOUR LIFE.

       THINK BEFORE YOU REACT 🍄

     

DON'T let YOURSELF have TOO MUCH TIME because.....

      When YOU have TOO MUCH TIME on your hands YOU MIGHT SPEND TOO MUCH TIME THINKING about THINGS THAT DON'T MATTER.

      And THINKING TOO MUCH ABOUT NOTHING leads to LOOSING YOUR ENERGY JUST BY DOING NOTHING BUT THINKING.

     Have you ever GOT READY TO GO somewhere then OUT OF THE BLUE YOU spend SO MUCH TIME THINKING then OUT OF THE BLUE YOU NO LONGER WANT TO GO ANYMORE?

     I was EXCITED ABOUT GOING with everyone to SHARE THE MOMENT for WEEKS then the DAY BEFORE GOING I HAD THOUGHT OF SO MANY REASONS WHY I SHOULDN'T GO that I JUST NO LONGER WANTED TO GO ANYMORE.

    When RANDOM THOUGHT try to GRAB YOUR ATTENTION you can JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind so YOU DON'T LET IT WASTE YOUR TIME.

    To PROTECT YOURSELF from WASTING YOUR TIME just ALWAYS STAY BUSY THINKING ABOUT ONLY WHAT WILL INSPIRE YOU.

    It's YOUR TIME so REMEMBER that YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE that CHOOSES WHAT THOUGHTS YOU SHOULD HAVE that will INSPIRE YOU and the rest.... SAVE YOUR ENERGY and JUST FLUSH IT out of YOUR MIND.

    

CHANGE happens whether YOU WANT it to CHANGE or not

      Once you FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO IT then YOU WILL KNOW HOW TO DO IT, or YOU THINK YOU will ALWAYS KNOW.

      UNFORTUNATELY throughout YOUR LIFE'S JOURNEY things CHANGE and WHAT USED TO WORK SUDDENLY WILL NOT WORK ANYMORE.

      After YOU GET USED TO DOING WHAT YOU NEED TO DO then OUT OF THE BLUE things CHANGE and YOU HAVE TO ADJUST.

       Now of course YOU DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO CHANGE but IT IS WHAT IT IS and to KEEP UP with the CHANGES YOU WILL HAVE TO ADJUST.

     CHANGE is NOT ALWAYS EASY but YOU CAN'T GET TOO COMFORTABLE IN LIFE because LIFE is FULL of CHANGES.

       Sometimes YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES CHANGE so YOU HAVE TO ADJUST and sometimes YOU JUST WANT THE CHANGE so YOU CHOOSE TO ADJUST.

     We only have ONE LIFE TO LIVE so ADJUST so YOU CAN ENJOY EVERY MOMENT YOU HAVE.

   

     

EVERYONE could be LISTENING so THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK

      When TIMES ARE TOUGH will YOU STOP and THINK BEFORE YOU REACT?

     When TIMES ARE PEACEFUL will YOU SPREAD PEACE wherever you go?

     When YOU WAKE UP EACH Day do YOU THINK ABOUT the PROBLEMS YOU COULD FACE TODAY?

     Or When YOU WAKE UP EACH Day do YOU THINK about HOW LUCKY YOU ARE to WAKE UP TODAY?

     YOU may NOT have EVERYTHING that YOU COULD EVER WANT but as long as YOU HAVE WHAT YOU NEED then YOU ARE LUCKY because YOU HAVE WHAT YOU NEED.

     YOUR MOOD when you walk into a room SPREADS ONTO OTHERS so try to always THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS.

     YOUR THOUGHTS DETERMINE YOUR REALITY which DETERMINES the REALITY YOU BRING INTO ANY ROOM so THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS.

     Have you ever SAW SOMEONE who was ANGRY when they came into the room and INSTANTLY the MOOD IN THE ROOM CHANGED and it was SUDDENLY UNCOMFORTABLE FOR EVERYONE?

      Have YOU ever WALKED INTO A ROOM and the ATMOSPHERE was so UNCOMFORTABLE even though YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHY?

      The other day when I WALKED into the doctor's office I KNEW that there was a BLOCK OF AWKWARDNESS CONSUMED IN THE AIR.

      In just a MOMENT a Lady was called to GO BACK to see the Doctor and the MOMENT SHE LEFT the room EVERYONE RELAXED and I REALIZED that APPARENTLY SHE WAS SPREADING THE UNCOMFORTABLENESS.

      When YOU are HAVING A BAD DAY learn how to take your negativity and JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind so you can have PEACE OF MIND that EVERYONE WILL FEEL when YOU ARE AROUND.

      What DOES EVERYONE FEEL when YOU WALK IN the room?

      The next time YOU FEEL FRUSTRATED make sure YOU DON'T SPREAD YOUR FRUSTRATION ONTO OTHER PEOPLE.

     

     

A FEW MINUTES is better than NO MINUTES

      You may have WISHED that the FUN OF WATCHING a FOOTBALL GAME could KEEP GOING but the FINALITY is FINAL and the GAME IS OVER.

      You may have HOPED that everyone WOULD AGREE but THE TRUTH is that NOT everyone will AGREE ALL THE TIME.

      Even though you DON'T GET TOGETHER OFTEN you LUCKILY can TREASURE the MOMENTS you DO SPEND TOGETHER.

       Even though EVERYONE has a BUSY SCHEDULE we can still SQUEEZE IN TOGETHERNESS for A MOMENT HEAR AND THERE. 

       As long as WE ALL TRY to MAKE SPENDING TIME TOGETHER IMPORTANT then WE WILL ALL GET TOGETHER because IT WILL BE IMPORTANT TO ALL OF US.

       What do YOU WANT PEOPLE TO REMEMBER ABOUT the TIME they SPEND WITH YOU?

       MAKE EVERY MOMENT TOGETHER with EVERYONE SPECIAL because it will be SPECIAL MEMORIES that EVERYONE will REMEMBER.

       DON'T THINK ABOUT what COULD'VE, WOULD, SHOULD'VE HAPPENED and ENJOY LIFE while YOU ARE LIVING IT and ENJOY WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW.

       

     

     

     

You can't JUDGE A BOOK by it's COVER

     I worked with someone when I was young but  I THOUGHT was, well let's just say they were CONSTANTLY MISSING WORK.

     I THOUGHT that they seemed to MISS a lot of work and that made things HARDER for the rest of US. 

    But YOU LEARN HOW TO ADJUST to being SHORT HANDED and when you are a waitress that meant you might make about the same amount of tips but EVERYONE WORKED a lot HARDER for it.

     After a couple of MONTHS of WORKING with her I finally LEARNED EXACTLY WHY she was always MISSING WORK. 

     She told me how her CHILD was dealing with some serious HEALTH ISSUES.

      I felt HORRIBLE that I had BEEN ANGRY at her instead of BEING HAPPY TO FILL IN so that she COULD BE THERE when her CHILD NEEDED HER.

      So BEFORE YOU GET ANGRY at anyone at least FIND OUT WHY because they just might have GOOD REASONS WHY it was happening.

     When YOU BELIEVE IT is HAPPENING then YOU will REACT like it is WHETHER IT IS REAL OR NOT.

     STOP BEFORE YOU FORM YOUR OPINION and GET ALL THE FACTS so that YOU can make the RIGHT DECISION. 

      YOU can't JUDGE A BOOK by it's COVER. 

You CAN'T FORGET IT until YOU ADMIT IT so YOU CAN KNOW what to FORGET

       Trying to IGNORE IT DOESN'T MEAN that IT DIDN'T HAPPEN Because IT DID.

      PRETENDING that YOU DON'T SEE IT still means that YOU SAW IT but YOU ARE PRETENDING that YOU DIDN'T but the TRUTH is that YOU DID.

      LOOKING THE OTHER WAY only means YOU SAW IT but YOU LOOKED AWAY TRYING TO FORGET that YOU SAW IT.

      Have YOU ever TRIED TO FORGET SOMETHING  yet YOUR MIND CONSTANTLY REMEMBERS it OVER AND OVER AGAIN?

      YOU CAN KEEP FORGETTING IT TEMPORARILY but deep in YOUR MIND whenever it gets a chance that MEMORY COMES UP because THE TRUTH ALWAYS DOES.

     BEFORE YOU CAN FORGET IT then YOU NEED TO ACCEPT that IT HAPPENED so YOU CAN ACCEPT IT and JUST FLUSH IT out of YOUR MIND.

     LIES will DESTROY YOU but THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE. SO ACCEPT IT so YOU KNOW WHAT YOU SHOULD FLUSH OUT OF YOUR MIND.

     To PROTECT YOURSELF YOU should always BE HONEST with YOURSELF.

LOOK and YOU might be SURPRISED at WHAT YOU FIND

       I started to CLEAN OUT my closet but I ended up APPARENTLY SHOPPING because I had FORGOTTEN about a few things that I FORGOT THAT I HAD BOUGHT.

       I was LOOKING IN BOXES that had BEEN THERE FOR YEARS and FOUND that I HONESTLY had FORGOTTEN about MANY things.

      I REMEMBERED when I was at a CREATIVE WRITING CLASS a couple DECADES AGO and one day OUR ASSIGNMENT was to WRITE about WHAT YOU FIND in a BOX IN YOUR CLOSET that YOU FORGOT about.

       So then as I SAW A BOX I would TRY TO GUESS WHAT was INSIDE IT.

       And I FOUND MANY FUN THINGS that I was EXCITED to FIND and it DIDN'T COST ME A PENNY.

      I was TELLING my friend about how much FUN it actually was CLEANING OUT MY CLOSET. 

      I SENT HER A PICTURE of a STACK of things that I FOUND that I knew I DIDN'T WANT to KEEP ANYMORE.

      And believe it or NOT my friend SAW SOMETHING that she NEEDED in MY PILE so she was able to SHOP FOR FREE TOO.

      One day ASK yourself what is in that BOX IN YOUR CLOSET? Then one day when you have time YOU can LOOK INSIDE of it and HAVE FUN 😊 

     

      

Your DIFFICULTIES can turn out to be......

      I will NEVER FORGET the day we had the COOKING STRUGGLE WE had because it turned out to be an AWESOME MEMORY WE HAD TOGETHER.

      I will NEVER FORGET the BUMPY ROAD WE HAD that LEAD US to OUR EXCITING ADVENTURE.

    I will NEVER FORGET the day we had GETTING WET FROM ALL THE RAIN because WE COULDN'T FIND MY CAR.

     Of course GETTING WET was NOT OUR PLAN but WE will ALWAYS REMEMBER the FUN WE HAD THAT DAY even though WE WERE COLD AND WET.

     NOT EVERY MEMORY YOU TREASURE is PLANNED but EVERY MEMORY YOU MAKE is SPECIAL MEMORIES that YOU SHARED TOGETHER.

     Of course if WE COULD HAVE PREVENTED IT WE WOULD HAVE but the TRUTH IS that it was ONE OF OUR FAVORITE MEMORIES WE SHARED TOGETHER.

       YOU MAY NOT THINK YOU NEED IT but sometimes YOU NEED TO FACE YOUR STRUGGLES in order to GROW UP to be HAPPY AND HEALTHY.

      What YOU LEARN WHILE YOU ARE LEARNING IT is FULL OF HAPPY MEMORIES YOU MADE to LEARN WHAT YOU NEEDED TO LEARN.

       LIFE is FULL OF MANY THINGS that can ONLY BE LEARNED BY LEARNING IT.

      WE EACH ONLY HAVE ONE LIFE TO LIVE so ENJOY YOUR LIFE WHILE YOU ARE LIVING IT.

     

Making NO DECISION YET means you have TIME TO FIGURE OUT HOW to REACT

      The MOMENT that something HAPPENS that is NEGATIVE TOWARDS YOU then YOU KNOW that it will MAKE YOU ANGRY.

      That is a NATURAL REACTION when ANYTHING NEGATIVELY HAPPENS TO ANYONE.

      But HOW YOU REACT to WHAT HAS HAPPENED to YOU is UP TO YOU.

     If YOU REACT NEGATIVELY TO IT then YOU KNOW that YOUR NEGATIVE REACTION is DEFINITELY MAKING THINGS MORE NEGATIVE for EVERYONE. 

      If YOU STOP for a MOMENT AND THINK BEFORE YOU REACT then YOU WILL REALIZE that if YOU WANT the BEST POSSIBLE OUTCOME to ANYTHING then DON'T DO ANYTHING ANGRILY.

      Sometimes it is BEST TO SAY NOTHING AT ALL and then sometimes YOUR POSITIVE REACTION could bring a POSITIVE OUTCOME despite everything that is happening.

       EVERY THOUGHT IN YOUR MIND can DECIDE HOW YOU SEE THINGS which DETERMINES HOW YOU WILL REACT.

       If YOU WANT A POSITIVE OUTCOME then THINK POSITIVELY or...... 

       It's YOUR CHOICE so CHOOSE WISELY and if a NEGATIVE THOUGHT POPS UP IN YOUR MIND then JUST FLUSH IT.

      

ONE MINUTE YOU LIKE It the NEXT MINUTE YOU DON'T

      Just because YOU LOVED the TASTE OF IT then OUT OF THE BLUE YOU NO LONGER ENJOY THE TASTE OF IT is MORE COMMON than YOU THINK.

     When my Uncle and I try COOKING some OLD FOODS FROM OUR CHILDHOOD we are surprised that they DON'T TASTE as GOOD as WE THOUGHT THEY WOULD..

     When things we HAD DONE MANY TIMES BEFORE GO WRONG IN LIFE we REALIZE that WE DID WHAT WORKED BEFORE yet for SOME REASON it DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE.

     The FUN I had DOING CERTAIN EVENTS when I was in MY TWENTIES NOW gives ME a HEADACHE IF I TRIED TO DO IT TODAY. 

      And it TURNS OUT that the OLDER I GET the MORE IMPORTANT THINGS I USED TO DO is NOW in the I DON'T WANT TO DO ANYMORE LIST.

      When YOU ARE YOUNG YOU are FULL OF ENERGY and YOU END UP USING YOUR ENERGY TO DO FUN EXPERIENCES AND ADVENTURES.

    But THE OLDER YOU GET the MORE YOU REALIZE that the MORE REST YOU NEED TO GET TO STAY HEALTHY.

     LIFE is FULL OF EXPERIENCES but SOME THINGS YOU GOT TO DO THEM at THE RIGHT TIME OF YOUR LIFE to BE ABLE TO DO THEM AT ALL.

      REMEMBER.....YOU CAN DO IT IF YOU WANT TO DO IT BUT YOU HAVE TO DO IT WHILE YOU ARE ABLE TO but if YOU NO LONGER WANT TO DO IT THEN DON'T DO IT.

      WE EACH ONLY HAVE ONE LIFE TO LIVE so ENJOY EVERY MOMENT THAT YOU HAVE DOING WHAT YOU CAN DO WHILE YOU ARE LIVING IT.

      

     

      

     

      

Some people ONLY TALK but NEVER MOVE

      I have a friend who has been DESCRIBING for YEARS about DOING SOMETHING ABOUT GETTING IT DONE.

     UNFORTUNATELY my friend DIDN'T DO ANYTHING so..... NOTHING AT ALL GOT DONE.

     I was trying to DECIDE if I should TELL Her that she has TALKED ABOUT IT for YEARS.

     Or should I just be quiet and just let her TELL ME again about WHAT SHE PLANNED TO DO.

     Have you known someone who ONLY TALKED but NEVER MOVED?

     Just because you are a GOOD SPEAKER it has nothing to do with YOU BEING GOOD AT GETTING STUFF DONE.

     In THE END I DECIDED to just BE A GOOD FRIEND and take my time with her and JUST LISTEN AND ENCOURAGE her.

      I REALIZED that she had been TELLING HERSELF TO DO IT FOR YEARS but UNFORTUNATELY it DIDN'T GET THEM UP TO GET UP AND DO IT.

      So CERTAIN TIMES IN LIFE when YOU KNOW that YOU WISH YOU COULD MOTIVATE THEM the TRUTH IS SOMETIMES YOU JUST CAN'T. 

      If THEY WON'T LISTEN then STOP SAYING IT AND BREATH 🌬️ As YOU LISTEN it will HELP THEM to JUST FLUSH IT out of their mind. 

    

     

     

     

Everyone DESERVES THE TRUTH even though the TRUTH CAN HURT

     You always want to BE TRUTHFUL with everyone even though THE TRUTH can BE PAINFUL.

     You CAN'T TELL THEM that IT SHOULDN'T HURT THEM if WHAT IS HAPPENING is HURTING THEM.

     You CAN TELL THEM that by BEING POSITIVE MEANS that NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS they CAN HAVE a POSITIVE OUTLOOK through their STRUGGLES.

     You CAN'T TELL THEM that someone WILL ALWAYS HELP THEM because THE TRUTH is there is NO GUARANTEE that ANYONE WILL HELP THEM.

      If YOU KNOW that YOU SHOULD WARN THEM then BE HONEST WITH THEM and WARN THEM even though YOUR WARNING may NOT BE what THEY WANT TO HEAR.

     Even though YOU KNOW that THEY WILL DO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO, YOU HAVE AN OBLIGATION to at least BE HONEST WITH THEM.

     If YOU DON'T SAY WHAT YOU THINK YOU SHOULD SAY and one day YOU DON'T GET ANOTHER CHANCE TO SAY IT...... YOU WILL REGRET IT.

      Most of the OLDER PEOPLE you will  meet will TELL YOU that what THEY REGRET MOST is THE THINGS THEY DIDN'T DO OR DIDN'T SAY.

      If it is IMPORTANT TO YOU then YOU KNOW that it's IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO DO even though it WOULD BE EASIER if someone else was HELPING YOU.

     The TRUTH CAN HURT but the ONLY WAY for YOU to BE HONEST is by BEING HONEST even WHEN IT HURTS.

       

     

I know I SHOULDN'T have LAUGHED but......

       Have you ever watched someone you know FALL and you AUTOMATICALLY started LAUGHING?

       You KNOW that YOU WEREN'T LAUGHING because they FELL and COULD HAVE been HURT.

        You WERE NOT just LAUGHING UNCONTROLLABLY because you are just MEAN, you are JUST HUMAN and as a HUMAN you NATURALLY AUTOMATICALLY LAUGHED.

        I still REMEMBER the DAY 30 YEARS AGO when I was OUTSIDE visiting with my sister when she came to my town to VISIT me.

       It was a dark evening when WE HEARD a NOISE of what WE THOUGHT was SOMEONE HEADING TOWARDS OUR DIRECTION.

      Then OUT OF FEAR I RAN as FAST as I COULD INSIDE MY HOME and SLAMMED THE DOOR TO BE SAFE.

       BUT as I WAS LOCKING MY FRONT DOOR I was SHOCKED when MY SISTER was BANGING SAYING LET ME IN.

       As I AM WRITING this blog about it I CAN'T HELP BUT START LAUGH OUT LOUD.

       Now DON'T GET ME WRONG I CERTAINLY WOULD have DONE ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to SAVE MY SISTER.

        But OUT OF PURE FEAR I RAN AUTOMATICALLY TO SAVE MYSELF.

      There is NO DOUBT that MY SISTER KNEW I WOULD ALWAYS SAVE HER.

       But she ALSO KNEW that MY FEAR WAS REAL at THAT MOMENT so SHE FORGAVE ME.

       

YOU get to ADJUST AS YOU GO

       If YOU like the color BLUE then YOU will OWN MANY BLUE THINGS. 

      If YOU DON'T like SEAFOOD then YOU WON'T BE EATING ANY SEAFOOD when YOU go out.

      If YOU LOOK for the POSITIVE in EVERY SITUATION then YOU will always SEE THE POSITIVE in EVERY SITUATION.

      If YOU LOOK for TROUBLE..... then YOU KNOW that YOU SCREW YOURSELF as YOU SET YOURSELF UP FOR TROUBLING TIMES.

      If YOU want to BE SUCCESSFUL then LEARN WHAT YOU NEED TO LEARN throughout your LIFE'S JOURNEY so YOU WILL KNOW WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW to SUCCEED.

     If YOU FIGURE OUT ONE DAY that in the END YOU NEED TO ADJUST to WHAT YOU HAD PLANNED then.... ADJUST.

       If YOU have to WALK AWAY from PEOPLE WHO ARE TOXIC TO YOU then .....GET AWAY FROM THEM NO MATTER WHO THEY ARE 

      If EVERYTHING that YOU had PLANNED turns out to BE NO LONGER WHAT YOU WANT then ..... ADJUST.

        Because WE ALL ONLY HAVE ONE LIFE TO LIVE and if YOU WANT TO ENJOY LIFE YOU HAVE TO ENJOY IT by ADJUSTING AS YOU GO through LIFE.

       It would BE NICE if EVERYTHING WAS ALWAYS PERFECT but NOTHING IS PERFECT.

     So YOU JUST HAVE TO ADJUST AS YOU GO so YOU CAN ALWAYS FIND A WAY TO ENJOY EVERY MOMENT that YOU DO HAVE.

      

Make YOUR CHOICE then BE SAFE if YOU DO IT

      You have YOUR OPINIONS and also OTHER PEOPLE have THEIR OPINIONS.

      You may be a lot like EACH OTHER yet WHAT YOU SEE can be TOTALLY DIFFERENT than WHAT THEY SEE.

      What WORKS FOR YOU may NOT WORK FOR ANYONE ELSE.

      And what WORKS FOR THEM has NOTHING TO DO with WHAT ACTUALLY WORKS FOR YOU.

      As a FRIEND or a RELATIVE YOU want to SHARE YOUR OPINION but DON'T EXPECT them TO DO WHATEVER YOU TELL THEM TO DO.

     Just SHARE YOUR OPINION so that YOU will ALWAYS KNOW that YOU TOLD THEM.

      AND ALWAYS BE THERE to SUPPORT them if THEY GET HURT DOING IT.....NOT BE THERE to tell them SEE I TOLD YOU NOT TO DO IT.

     BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF that there was MANY TIMES when SOMEONE TOLD YOU NOT TO DO IT yet.....  YOU DID IT ANYWAY.

      BUT...... If SOMEONE WARNS YOU ABOUT DOING IT......AT LEAST TAKE A MOMENT to CONSIDER WHY THEY SAID IT TO YOU.

       Most of the time THEY ONLY TELL YOU because THEY LOVE YOU and THEY WANT TO PROTECT YOU.

      I an a GRANDMA and I KNOW my GRANDKIDS think I JUST SIMPLY WORRY ABOUT EVERYTHING.

     WHEN YOU ARE OLD there have been DECADES OF TIME that YOU EVENTUALLY SEE LOTS OF PEOPLE GET HURT DOING THINGS that a YOUNGER PERSON HASN'T SEEN YET.

     BUT YOU HAVE TO ADMIT that when YOU WERE YOUNGER YOU DID PLENTY OF THINGS that YOU WERE TOLD that YOU SHOULDN'T DO.

      JUST TAKE A MOMENT OF YOUR TIME and DECIDE if YOU REALLY WILL BE SAFE DOING IT..... BEFORE YOU EVER DO ANYTHING. 

    What YOU DO is UP TO YOU and YOU WILL ALWAYS PAY THE CONSEQUENCES FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU CHOOSE TO SAY OR DO.

      

How can we get anyone to learn from.....

   There will be many WORDS OF WISDOM we will want to SHARE throughout our LIFE'S JOURNEY but will ANYONE REALLY LISTEN?

    If you TRY TO SHARE your experience people look at you as if they are LISTENING but you are NOT SURE if they are really LISTENING.

     Whether you KNOW they will LISTEN you AUTOMATICALLY feel like you should at least SAY IT just in case they MIGHT HEAR IT.

     Truth is if YOU DON'T SAY IT to them then YOU WILL REGRET IT if THEY DID IT and YOU DIDN'T TELL THEM that THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE IT.

     So even though they PROBABLY WON'T LISTEN just SAY IT so you will at least KNOW that YOU TOLD THEM.

     You may NOT KNOW but if YOUR WORDS make a POSITIVE DIFFERENCE to ANYONE they can ONLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE if YOU SAY THEM OUT LOUD.

     

  

GETTING IT means DOING what you GOT TO DO to GET IT

        If you want to BUILD IT then you must first STOP..... and figure out what you will NEED TO BUILD IT.

       If you want to COOK IT then you must STOP..... and figure out what you will NEED TO COOK IT.

      If you want to CHANGE IT then you must STOP..... and figure out what you NEED TO DO DIFFERENTLY so THINGS CAN CHANGE.

     If you want to DO SOMETHING to GET IT DONE then STOP..... and DO WHAT YOU GOT TO DO to GET IT DONE.

      If YOU DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO then YOU CAN STOP STRESSING about it because IT WILL BE DONE ALREADY so you can JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind.

      LIFE is a JOURNEY and YOU LEARN AS YOU GO.

WEATHER is WHAT IT IS so ENJOY THE WEATHER or AVOID IT

      You can MAKE PLANS for a VACATION for NEXT YEAR but by NEXT YEAR you MAY THINK DIFFERENTLY.

     You can MAKE PLANS while YOU THINK the TEMPERATURE WILL BE PERFECT yet we all know that MOST WEATHER WATCHERS are USUALLY WRONG.

     If you MAKE PLANS TO GRILL OUT you ALSO need to MAKE PLANS for what you will do if it is raining outside that day.

     If you BUY TICKETS to FLY SOMEWHERE make sure you SAVE YOUR PATIENCE because sometimes RESERVATIONS GET DELAYED.

     If you SCHEDULE PLANS WITH OTHERS make sure EVERYONE WORKS TOGETHER so that YOUR PLANS WORK FOR EVERYONE.

     LIFE is like a ROLLERCOASTER and ROLLERCOASTERS are FULL of CHAOTIC MOMENTS but it is WORTH THE RIDE. 😀

STOP ...LOOK BEFORE YOU REACT

      Your FIRST THOUGHT may NOT SHOW YOU exactly what YOU SHOULD DO.

      Your FIRST THOUGHT may be TOTALLY DIFFERENT if YOU KNEW EVERYTHING.

     Your FIRST THOUGHT may make YOU THINK that YOU SHOULD but if YOU REALLY KNEW THE FACTS then YOU MIGHT REALIZE that YOU ACTUALLY SHOULDN'T.

     TEN PEOPLE could SEE the SAME THING yet they COULD SEE DIFFERENT THINGS.

     That DOESN'T mean that SOME OF THEM WERE WRONG.....It just means that THEY EACH LOOKED AT IT and THEY EACH JUST SAW DIFFERENT THINGS.

      If YOU LOOK for TROUBLE then YOU KNOW THAT YOU WILL FIND IT.

      If YOU LOOK FOR a POSITIVE PART then YOU KNOW THAT YOU WILL FIND POSITIVE THINGS.

      LIFE is HOW YOU LOOK AT IT so KEEP LOOKING UNTIL YOU FIND the POSITIVE PARTS DURING YOUR LIFE'S JOURNEY and YOU WILL FIND IT.

     AND..... when YOU SEE TROUBLE COMING then MOVE OUT OF THE WAY so YOU WON'T HIT THE TROUBLE HEAD ON.

      

If YOU DON'T LIKE IT then......

      Just because YOU DON'T LIKE IT has NOTHING to do with whether SOMEONE ELSE WILL LIKE IT.

      Just because YOU DON'T LIKE the TASTE of the FOOD has NOTHING to do whether it is a SPECIAL FOOD that OTHERS LOVE TO EAT.

      Just because YOU ARE NOT OUTGOING has NOTHING to do with PEOPLE WHO LOVE GOING OUT.

      LUCKILY.....WE ALL are FREE to DO WHATEVER WE CAN DO.....If WE CHOOSE TO.

      NOW..... that DOESN'T MEAN that YOU CAN ALWAYS DO WHAT YOU WANT but it DOES MEAN that YOU CAN DO IT if YOU CAN.

      And if it is SOMETHING YOU LOOK FORWARD TO DOING then JUST DO IT while YOU ARE STILL YOUNG ENOUGH TO DO IT.

       Because YOU WILL REGRET what YOU NEVER TRIED TO DO WHILE YOU CAN DO IT even though YOU REALLY WANTED TO DO IT.

       EVERYTHING YOU WILL REGRET DOING is EVERYTHING that YOU HAD PLANNED ON DOING so..... JUST DO IT.

      It's YOUR LIFE and WE ONLY HAVE ONE LIFE so ENJOY EVERY MOMENT THAT WE HAVE.

LOOKING IT UP keeps it in a WHAT HAVE I EVER LOOKED FOR FILE

      HAVE YOU EVER LOOKED something UP then you get ASKED TO SEE something LIKE IT on your GAMES, AI, GOOGLE and RELATED TYPE SUBJECTS over and over on the INTERNET?

      BEFORE YOU LOOK IT UP..... MAKE SURE that YOU WANT TO ALWAYS FOREVER KNOW THAT YOU LOOKED IT UP?

       YOUR ALGORITHM FOLLOWS YOU FOR EVER and it will always SUGGEST IT so that YOU KNOW IT REMEMBERS THAT YOU LOOKED AT something LIKE IT.

     I LOOKED UP different WAYS to make a TURKEY for WEEKS BEFORE THANKSGIVING and I STILL SEE RECIPES EVERYWHERE I go on the INTERNET.

     NOW I am CURIOUS if they will SHOW ME RECIPES ALL THE WAY THRU THANKSGIVING NEXT YEAR so I will have the receipt?

     EVERYTHING YOU DO THROUGHOUT CYBERSPACE INK IS PERMANENT INK. SO BEFORE YOU hit SEND remember that it's in PERMANENT INK.

    BUT..... ASKING HOW TO BECOME A MILLIONAIRE DOESN'T MAKE YOU A MILLIONAIRE. HAHAHA 🍀
