I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it.

~ Groucho Marx ~

Me being absolutely happy in the moment.

Manifest plainness, Embrace simplicity, Reduce selfishness, Have few desires.

 ~ Lao Tzu ~
 .... "The Way of Lao Tzu"



This has always been my way.  Make do with what you have and recycle and re-use.  Buy second hand where possible.  I do not like consumerism.  This has done so much harm to the environment. People are addicted to shopping for things they don't need.

May we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion. ~ Dwight D. Eisenhower ~

The need for me to try to control my circumstances when I fear that my life is threatened is more than just a whim, it is par for the course of being who I am.   I simply cannot be quiet about it because being quiet has hurt me so desperately.

Always speak out when things are not as you think they should be.   Your intuition is always right.   If you think you should act then you are probably correct to do so.

The two most important days in your life are the day you are born, and the day you find out why!

The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple and yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves.

Life doesn't always give you second chances, So take the first.

Live life to the fullest each and every day, because tomorrow is promised to no man and no woman.  We are born in time and in time we live and we then die in time.  Time is a not as we think it is... Old Chronus.

If someone sticks by your side through your worst times, then they definitely deserve to be with you through your good times.

~ Unknown ~

 

One can look at the word deserve here.  How does one deserve?  Where is the scale and is there even such a thing? 

Many wives live through excessively heavy duty times with young children and lack of funds for do-able projects that make life a little easier for the family. 

I noticed this with Paul Hogan.
His first wife Noelene was married to him for years and lived in housing commision and had very little but she said she was happy.  Hoges cracks it big after a Winfield advertisement and leaves Noelene behind.

Noelene said after the divorce:

"I had him when he was young, virile and handsome. He's still got a good butt and good legs but she's got him in older times when all he wants to do is sit around the house and not go out. I was the one who had the best years of his life".

I tend to agree with this and can vouch for her feelings being left in the same position myself after 28 years of marriage.  Watching all your hard work wasted.  That bit is hard to take. It reminds me of watching your house burn down in front of you.

Learn to love the fool in you

~ Theodore Isaac Rubin ~

My cloths line is under the Chemtrails in Urunga.  Chemtrails are different to con trails which disappear immediately

 Learn to love the fool in you, the one in you who feels too much, who talks too much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries.
It alone protects you against that utterly self controlled, masterful tyrant whom you also harbour and who would rob you of human aliveness, humility, and dignity but for your fool.

Each day means a new twenty-four hours. Each day means everything's possible again. You live in the moment, you die in the moment. You live in the light, you die in the light. You take it all one day at a time.

Nothing would be more tiresome than eating and drinking if God had not made them a pleasure as well as a necessity.

 I love making scones as much as eating them, I made some today and they are just divine and fresh and they smell delicious as well as taste that way.   I hope my children make scones sometimes.

The Longest Journey begins with a Single Step. ~ Buddha ~

This is the case with everything in life.   Everything begins with the first step.  With out contemplation of a thing nothing occurs.  The amount of contemplation can make all the difference at times. 

Think before you leap.  See it in the spirit.  See it play out in all of the ways you could possibly come up  with and then see it the way you would like it to be and keep the highest thoughts in mind when making this ask of the universe and as I always hear...
                 Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it.

"We are shaped by what we do, not by who we are."

 ~ A.D. Williams ~

 

I am a government kid still and that keeps dogging me all of the time.  I get discriminated against  because of this.  I have felt this many times.  When in a group and talking about childhood experiences I want to tell others it was freaking hell.  Now I want help!  I could not ask for help then,  I let it all happen to me.

These days I shape it a little better.  Proof of this is the kinds of things I do.  The things I love.  The study that I do each day to stay ahead of myself.  Believe me is that hard too.  My mind has so much it wants to know.  Is it my mind or is my heart leading me on a the journey.  Each time I learn a new skill I feel as though  I just climbed a mountain.  That is not a bad feeling for anyone to experience.

“The longer I live the more beautiful life becomes”

Frank Lloyd Wright

   

Not everyone can see the beauty that I see in these rocks,  they are beautiful to me.  They are beautiful to Brice now as well.  That is nice he loves my rocks as much as I do.  These are my heart rocks at the front door.  There are more but these are at the front door.
