The point is to fill up your happy tank

A friend asked, “What’s the point of it all? If we’re going to just live and die, what’s the point of trying to achieve anything if it all turns to dust?

The point is not achieving. The point is the emotional journey you take as you go this way and that, as you make this decision or that. The point is to follow emotional happiness. That is also how you serve yourself and your fellow man.  When you are filled with happiness, you exude a nonphysical ‘good’ into the environment and anyone around you has access to thoughts and feelings of happiness, not unlike accessing good thoughts from a collective thought bank.

Why bother to feel good ever if we’re going to eventually die?

Because those thoughts and emotions build up and follow you from lifetime to lifetime, making easier and happier future lives. I cope with life by training myself to have an interest in things around me, looking for the fun to be had, looking for the helpers, looking for the silver lining, looking for someone to give a kind word to, by training my self talk to keep me motivated and uplifted. That is my contribution to emotional well being on planet Earth. Your being here matters, your being happy matters, the happiness of others matter. Never think it’s pointless. Become an emotional missionary in this lifetime and follow happiness, feel happiness, collect happy thoughts and feelings so you can remember happiness when things are not so happy. Fill up your happy tank to overflowing, that’s how you silently help your self and your community. In this lifetime and the next.

The morning of the white van stalking

945am a long white van with very dark windows drove driving slowly past my house then came back around twice, driving faster and blowing his horn. He’s got a luggage rack on top and the front seat windows have less tint. He went past me twice more heading east, once more heading west, horn blowing and looking toward my house, front window open. He must have turned south to go around the block. I wondered if maybe he was the one who called out my name at 4:44am on May 27th. I wasn’t going to report anything because it’s not against the law but the next day someone rang my neighbor’s doorbell at 5:30am. No one was there. From my office, I saw the neighbor’s front lights go on. I had not heard a car. When his lights went on, I’d been talking to my cat, who was sitting on the perch outside the office window, trying to come in. Whoever it was parked elsewhere and in the dark behind my hedge I saw nothing.  My neighbor told me about it the next day and I told him my incident. He is going to make a police report. He thinks he knows who it might be in both our cases. Knowing the story about a former friend of his, I do not disagree. He’d been helping a friend who he later cut off for being dishonest. The guy began stalking, calling and hanging up repeatedly, calling neighbors, me, his minister and other associates and slandering him.  He’s begun the calls again and now this. it might be related. We’ll see. or not. I’m not worried, I don’t attract people who want to do me physical harm. May it ever be so.

It was not unlike the Kia Sedona here

A friend asked how do I cope

A friend asked me, “with all that’s going on, how do you cope?” I cope with life by training myself to have an interest in things around me, and by always looking for the helpers, looking for the silver lining, looking for someone to give a kind word to, and by training my self talk to keep me motivated and uplifted. Not always easy to do but, like anything else, it works when I work it.

A friend asked if it hurts my business when I make controversial posts on Facebook. I have not found it to. I consider consequences before I speak my mind. The few political posts I make, I feel my FBF understand where I am coming from. I feel strongly that those in office should be qualified and act with integrity. When damage is being done, I don’t mind shedding light so my FBF can make more informed decisions and step in to help where possible. When I feel info is important enough to be passed on, I pass it on.

Kids get over traumas unless we keep reminding them

Barron is NOT having a hard time with what Griffin did. IF he’s having a hard time with anything it’s with what his dad KEEPS TELLING HIM about what she did. I worked in criminal law for 22 years. I was witness to many cases of kids being victims of all kinds of abuse. The conclusion I came to after seeing it first hand in depositions and testimony is that for the most part, kids get over things. Unless there is someone around reminding them every day what a horror they’ve been through, kids living in a healthy environment seldom hold on to traumas of the past, they’re moving on to new info every day. A loving Now goes a long way in eclipsing an abusive past. But he’ll certainly be traumatized if he has to hear angry people every night for the rest of his life.

It’s helpful to remember

Many Facebook friends are disgruntled over the treason du jour but at times like this it’s helpful to remember (1) No matter what he’s putting into place, there are powers at work to remove him from office, after which his many decisions will be re-evaluated. And (2) We experience much suffering when we think we only get one life and one body and this is it and it seems hopeless. That’s simply an inaccurate scenario someone made you believe because someone made them believe it. When we leave elementary school, we look forward to middle school. When we leave middle school, we look forward to high school, then we look forward to college or getting a job.  God would not stop an acorn from growing into an oak, nor a tadpole from becoming a frog. He would not prevent hot water from becoming steam, nor cold water from freezing. These are just natural changes from one stage of “life” to the next. So don’t worry about what he’s doing, spend your time enjoying this life while knowing that when your time comes, you’ll move on to the next life — in the twinkling of an eye. You’ll go to sleep here and wake up there. Like magic.

Expanding someone’s perception of their world

A friend thanked me today for introducing her to metaphysical thought, to the idea of continuation of life in consciousness after the death of the physical body, to the idea of different levels of existence, intermingled and parallel worlds and the reasons for that, and that we are all connected to each other. To the idea of the body’s energy system and the power we have for self-healing. To the idea that we create the world around us by virtue of the thoughts we choose to think repeatedly. She said she was beginning to lose hope because she felt her life was meaningless. As usual, all that needed to change was her perception.

Words have consequences

Watch your words — some people troll pages waiting to pick a fight. A friend of mine got herself in a pickle. She made some tipsy, rude comments on FB one midnight last week and a handful of FBF took it the wrong way. They began a witchhunt, getting her banned from several location entertainment venues and contacting her employer asking that she be fired. She said a stupid thing and she apologized hours later but now she’s receiving threats of bodily harm as Facebook friends continue to share the offending post with directives to “find this person and teach her a lesson, give her something to cry about, put her out of her misery,” etc. WORDS MATTER. Choose them carefully and know there are always consequences.

Transferred my phone from Verizon to Straight Talk

My Verizon contract was up last week, so I transferred my phone from Verizon ($81/month) to Straight Talk ($47/month.) I made sure to call from the land line and do the process with a real person so I did not lose my number.  Of course they  dropped my number! Mark, the original guy I spoke to, after I stressed I specifically needed to take my phone number with me, failed to ask me any of the Verizon account info in order to port the number over. I’d gotten a little flustered while on the line with him because calls and texts kept coming in and it as very hard to hear him. It was only AFTER we got off the phone I realized he didn’t ask me any of that info. I called back and Brian did the necessary to fix it.  I attracted it because I was nervous about losing the number. I thought it might happen, I knew there was a chance and I was resigned to it if it happened. I also know that things usually work out for me and when there’s a goof, I can usually find someone right away to fix it. And I did.
