I’m coming to the end of final layout on the June Horizons.<\/em> I’ve never cut it this close before, and I got slammed with last minute ads.\u00a0 About 10pm last night I got to a place where I know I can finish on time.\u00a0 It means working 10-14 hours today, but it will be an easy and fun part of the job. All day, I go back and forth between my desktop and laptop computers, and some of my programs show up differently on each one.\u00a0 Whether it’s the difference between Windows XP and Windows Vista, the capacity of the computer itself, or some internal settings I am unaware of, I view different screens with different options.<\/p>\n

I’m getting familiar with using AOLMail in Mozilla Firefox.\u00a0 Firefox is my favorite web browser, and I am off and on it all day every day.\u00a0 I like AOL for email since I do so much of it.\u00a0 It has a system of organizing my mail that makes it fast and easy.\u00a0 But sometimes for a quick email check when I’m not<\/em> working, I go into AOLMail through Firefox. Firefox behaves differently on my desktop computer than it does my laptop.\u00a0 On my desktop, I can open my AOL mail and see in an email that a document is attached.\u00a0 But it will not automatically display the attachment in view form.\u00a0 On my laptop, I see the image in view form without downloading it.\u00a0 I also get a “reminder” notice flashed in front of me if I attempt to Send Mail<\/em> that contains the word “attached” yet have not attached a document.<\/p>\n

How cool is that?\u00a0 This is such a supportive Universe!\u00a0 I can see it now, several tiny angels the size of butterflies hovering around my head, proof-reading over my shoulders at all times.\u00a0 I love that new technology. LOL Now, my conspiracy-theorist-type friends will be reeeeal suspicious why particular words in their personal emails are being targeted and triggering action.\u00a0 I say, “who cares?<\/em>” In my lifestyle, I don’t have anything to hide.\u00a0 I take responsibility for whatever I put in writing, and I’m never doing or talking about anything that the federal government would care about.<\/p>\n

One of these friends told me that the reason for the big cable digital switchover is to get the tvs with newer technology into as many houses as possible.\u00a0 That they contain small cameras which, if you Google it, you will come across the techno geeks who found them and theorize about them. If you knew someone behind your tv was watching you every time you were in front of it, would you feel threatened? I would consider it an invasion of privacy, sure, but I wouldn’t be up in arms over it.\u00a0 The government manages to do what they want, and I’m not interested in fighting the small battles.\u00a0 I’ve got better things to do and elsewhere to place my attention.<\/em> That is a really neat idea, though.\u00a0 Having some setting inside your tv that could be activated by remote and turn it on and be a window into your living room.\u00a0 For everyone in the civilized world? \u00a0 I’m sure the explanation would be that it’s for emergency national alerts, not subliminal programming.\u00a0 LOL\u00a0 I wonder how many people I know would be freaked out by the idea, and how many would just be thankful there was a witness to their life?<\/p>\n

You gotta laugh.\u00a0 I mean, sure, lobby and legislate about it, those whose path it is to be an activist and make those important changes.\u00a0 But you gotta laugh.\u00a0 Especially when you remember that we’re more powerful than all that.\u00a0 And if it’s true?\u00a0 “Oh, well.\u00a0 Next.<\/em>”\u00a0 Otherwise you spend the rest of your life stuck on that topic.\u00a0 (Like we all do now on the topic of “manifesting your abundance.”)\u00a0 Get on with everything else in your life, and that part will take care of itself.\u00a0 That part will be a by-product of you getting on with your life and doing what you choose to do.<\/p>\n

I have learned to not give importance to those things I have no control over.\u00a0 To me, I call those the small battles.<\/em> For me, the big battle is keeping my attention focused on what I’m doing and where I’m going and what I want to achieve, while going about daily life.\u00a0 A big battle is exercising my will power when its called for.\u00a0 A big battle is continually releasing resistance and keeping myself in a state of allowing.<\/p>\n

Wow, that sounds like lots of struggle, doesn’t it?\u00a0 To tell the truth, at this point, there really are no battles going on. <\/em>It took time for a couple of decades’ worth of momentum to get caught up and this is what it has shaken out to be.\u00a0 So far.\u00a0 And it’s not bad at all.\u00a0 So I don’t have time to wonder about what the government is or isn’t doing.\u00a0 I have dreams I am going after, and meaningful work I am accomplishing. \u00a0 You may see me in the yard sometime, I may be just watering in a mulberry sapling, wearing overalls but my mind is busy creating worlds.<\/p>\n
