I see the timeline of where my former mate and I\u2019d had discord and gotten past it as friends, understanding each other. \u00a0That is, until a set of new friends convinced him of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=23036\">a lesser understanding<\/a>, in which case he stopped speaking to me. \u00a0I can dig it. \u00a0If we\u2019re to be happy, we must go where we feel loved and appreciated. \u00a0Their interest is in an area of his life I had no interest in. We are always gravitating to those we are most in harmony with. To avoid being lured with the illusive carrot that never appears, you clean up your past so it doesn\u2019t keep that carrot out of your reach. \u00a0In retrospect, everyone will see who everyone is.\u00a0 This is why I love keeping a blog. \u00a0Things I\u2019d completely forgotten about come back to mind and I see situations with an entirely new understanding. \u00a0I see my unconsciousness in some writing, I see my mindfulness in others. \u00a0I see my journey. \u00a0I see what I went through as I was going through it, and where I ended up on the other side of it. \u00a0My own journey inspires me since it always clearly reflects my state of mind. \u00a0And I can make it good and I can make it bad, depending on my choice of thoughts in the moment. \u00a0Depending on where I choose to pivot my thoughts to, to keep me focused in a happy and upbeat frame of mind. \u00a0Because only then am I of any good to anyone. And since this life is a journey, I want it to be a fun one and my experience is that it can be.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"s-share-buttons\" class=\"horizontal-w-c-circular s-share-w-c\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/backing-up-my-blog-posts-into-a-word-document-i-get-to-revisit-my-journey-of-the-last-five-months-what-fun\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to Facebook\" class=\"s3-facebook hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Backing up my blog posts into a Word document, I get to revisit my journey of the last five months \u2013 what fun \u2013 !&url=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/backing-up-my-blog-posts-into-a-word-document-i-get-to-revisit-my-journey-of-the-last-five-months-what-fun\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Twitter\" class=\"s3-twitter hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/backing-up-my-blog-posts-into-a-word-document-i-get-to-revisit-my-journey-of-the-last-five-months-what-fun\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Google Plus\" class=\"s3-google-plus hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&url=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/backing-up-my-blog-posts-into-a-word-document-i-get-to-revisit-my-journey-of-the-last-five-months-what-fun\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to LinkedIn\" class=\"s3-linkedin hint--top\"><\/a><div class=\"pinit-btn-div\"><a href=\"\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/\" data-pin-do=\"buttonBookmark\"  data-pin-color=\"red\" title=\"Share to Pinterest\" class=\"s3-pinterest hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\" async defer src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/js\/pinit.js\"><\/script><a href=\"mailto:?Subject=Backing%20up%20my%20blog%20posts%20into%20a%20Word%20document,%20I%20get%20to%20revisit%20my%20journey%20of%20the%20last%20five%20months%20\u2013%20what%20fun%20\u2013%20!&Body=Here%20is%20the%20link%20to%20the%20article:%20http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/backing-up-my-blog-posts-into-a-word-document-i-get-to-revisit-my-journey-of-the-last-five-months-what-fun\/\" title=\"Email this article\" class=\"s3-email hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I keep my writing all in one Microsoft Word document, because it\u2019s easy to search when I need to find something in particular I\u2019ve written. \u00a0I usually hand copy from the blog into the Word doc every few days, unless it gets really busy. \u00a0Today I\u2019m updating all the entries from November 2012 and boy, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-40938","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40938","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40938"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40938\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40941,"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40938\/revisions\/40941"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40938"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40938"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40938"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
