Happy 80th Birthday, Pappy

May you continue to Ask and Recieve.

May you know your Worthiness.

May you fulfil the purpose of your life

which is to live joyously.

May you allow in your well-being with every breath you take.

May you always find things to be happy about and ignore everything else.

May you follow your own guidance.

May you focus only upon what you want.

May you focus only upon things which pleases you and causes you to smile.

May you come to know yourself as God knows you which is pure love.

May you know these things so that you can be amongst the few who is truly living as God intended.

We are all One.

Just saying 'no' to everything may be good short term politics but it's not leadership.

President Barack Obama.

Last night, our President gave the best SOTU address I have ever heard from a President.

He spoke to the people. He spoke to the Congress. He is the only people's President I've seen on my watch.

He understands the simple fact that we are all one. Now he has to try and convince the opposition we are all one.

Once we accept we are all one. We can get on with living the lives we have dreamt about.

For those who choose not to accept this, they will continue to dream about the lives they want to live.

Fortunately for me, I have been living the dream.

What about you?

For today and its blessings.

I love my life today because:

My mate brought me coffee in bed, a ritual I look forward to on weekends.

I have a fridge full of green, red, yellow and orange vegetables at my disposal.

Even though I live in a cold climate just now, my home is warm and comfortable.

I have a wealth of tools  at my disposal  to make myself feel even better than I do right now - and writing this list is one of those tools ☺

Ever since I began following Dr Oz advice on eating less calories, I have been feeling weller than I ever did!

Yesterday I spent the morning walking round Walden Pond and it was pure bliss and today I woke up recalling that blissful time.

It is Sunday, my doodling day, where I do whatever I feel like doing...

I have a dishwasher,  a refrigerator, a gas cooker, a washing machine, my own car, my own gym room, my own woods, a telephone in my own home, I know the neighbors on either side of me and the mail comes to my door on a daily basis.

I live in a quiet, peaceful, fresh air environment.

I have access to any information I want  via the Internet.

For today and its blessings, I owe the world an attitude of gratitude.

Doily

My plan is to spend more time in the vortex of my wellbeing.

This doily in particular brings me right in. My dearest friend Roberta made it for me.

She guessed at the colors and the size.

It turned out to be the most beautiful and appropriate thing for this glass table in my parlor.

I love to sit in this room and admire all the works of art in here. The sofas are soft and cozy for curling up with a good book or for just quiet conversations.

This is my relaxation room, where I go to feel my blessings and bliss out.

It is also a room where I journal my desires, knowing they will come to fruition.

It's a sort of allowing room if you will.

2010 Resolutions

I have and am learning how to live from my own life experience. I pick and choose what I want and how I want to live based on my feelings of joy and satisfaction.

In 2010 I plan on:

1. Keeping only cheerful uplifting people in my life.
2. Learning new things on a daily basis.
3. Discovering and enjoying more of the world.
4. Living simply.
5. Enjoying the things I have.
6. Cherishing my health and wellbeing.
7. Appreciating! Appreciating! Appreciating!

I value only what makes me feel good.

The only way that you can ever know if something is of value to you is by the way it feels as you are receiving it.

Supercook to the rescue!

Sometimes I don't know what to cook. 

I look at the ingredients I have and still I don't know...

This is where supercook comes to my rescue. 

A Woman in Charge

Today I am reading A Woman in Charge which is a fascinating book about Hillary Rodham Clinton.

There are so many things I did not know about this remarkable woman and now this well written book is a very satisfying read. 

Being harmonious with myself and those like me

One of things I gave up in the past five months was to stop persuading people I care about to think better feeling thoughts.

In hindsight, it was really none of my business to try and drag them kicking and screaming to the magnificent vista I was privvy to.

Not only were they unwilling to go, they were very resentful of me and the magnificent vista I have.

Since I have taken my atteniton from these inharmonious vibrations and focused it upon that which I am in harmony with, I am enjoying myself better than ever.

It is a relief to not have to dampen my enthusiasm or pretend to justify my blessings or be embarrassed about my deservedness.

This freedom to openly and unabashedly be who I am with those who are also coming into this understanding  is ineffable.

Well-being abounds!

I make it a point to seek out Well being within each day and do you know, it's always there? Everywhere I look it's there delighting and surprisng me.

This morning I was hoping I had some cocoa powder for some spicy hot chocolate, but I wasn't sure. Then I opened the pantry, scanning the shelves and there it was! A new box of Droste Cocoa powder!

Well being truly abounds!

I make it a point of looking for the well being and looking away from that which is not and you know what?

The more I seek out the well-being, the more I get what I want.

Evidence of my evolving life.

 

I am more relaxed.
I  get all green lights and easy parking spaces easily and effortlessly.
People are nicer than ever before.
I see more deer, fox, groundhogs, rabbits and turkeys in the garden.
The hummingbirds, cardinals and bluebirds perch on the deck railing,  
just a few feet from where I would be standing or sitting.
I am having great success with everything I plant.
We discover one new place to visit every weekend.
We always have a vacation away from home to look forward to.
This summer has been one of the best ones since I've been here in MA.
I am always discovering  really fabulous food  when we go out.
It seems that I barely ask for something and it shows up in a matter  
of days.
I can feel that my life is flowing with more ease and grace than a  
year ago.
The best is yet to be!

Remember when?

 

Remember  when some well meaning, well intentioned but extremely misguided adult would say the following:

 “It’s for your own good that I am spanking you.”

“I worry about you because I love you.”

“ I know it tastes bad but it’s good for you.”

“I know you hate to eat_____ but it is good for you.”

“Even though you dislike being with your grouchy ______, nevertheless you have to go and visit.”

“I know you don’t want to _____ but I say you must.”

‘You cannot do only what you think is good for you, you have to do as I say and forget about your feelings.”

My question is:

Just how disconnected were these people, to actually believe these statements?

Allowing Others.

 

I have the audacity to want others to have a more joyful life experience, and so I can sometimes bully them into it, because I cannot stand to see them having a limiting, mediocre life experience.

Of course it NEVER works! They have to WANT to be more joyful and I can want it for them, but I cannot make them do it, or be it or even want it.

I now accept  the fact that my only business on this planet is to personally seek my own upliftment and to allow others.

Allowing others is the most important change I have made to date.

Allowing others to be as happy, joyous and fulfilled as they wish to be.

Allowing others to be as sad, miserable, depressed, sick and angry as they wish to be.

Allowing others period.

Of course it also means that I now allow myself to be only with those who are like-minded :)

Heaven!

 

I imagine heaven to be feelings of joyousness, since it is not actually a place but a feeling.

It has got to be a feeling because we are vibrational beings having a physical experience.

My life then, is mostly heavenly!

I love life.

I love the life I live.

I love being me.

Sometimes I experience hell too, this is when I am making myself do something or think something that is not joyful.

Fortunately, I am doing less of that these days.

Heaven is where I plan on residing!

 

I am sitting here sipping my coffee and enjoying the smell of freshly cut grass. I like the textured look and feel my lawn has. It contains about three different grasses as well as clover. I love clover! I am mesmerized by my lawn. It reminds me of how I live my life. I abhor sameness. I love that every patch of grass is different. I love the uneven growth, the different shades of green, the different shapes of every blade of grass and the white flowers which dots the lawn right before they get mowed over. I shudder to think of how dull life would be if  we all thought the same.. ugh!

 

This morning I woke up and just felt ok.
I thought that was kinda blah and I ought to reach for something  
better...
I checked the emoscale and found I was in boredom.
I thought that was really awful until I saw what was beneath boredom:

Pessimism

Frustration/Irritation/Impatience

Overhwhelment etc.
I felt immediately better that I was only in Boredom :)
I proceeded to do some of the processes to move myself into a better feeling place.

I did The Prosperity Game, VR, Meditation, BOPA and Focus Wheel.

Half an hour later I felt eager to get on with things I was now  
inspired to do.
It's amazing to have access to so much power and control over my own life.

It's all about me, done to me, by me!

Isn't life full of wonder?

Laughter

 

I spent this week compiling a list of things that generates laughter for me.

Some of them are copyrighted, so I cannot share them here and a lot of them are downright silly!

It is the silly generators that gets me in the vortex every single time.

I believe that laughter is better than meditation  at bringing myself into alignment. I know this because of the way I feel and because of how easily I get things done or things I want.

I source laughter from  the funny jokes my mate tells me, YouTube, email jokes, sitcoms, movies, books, the antics of the wildlife in my garden,

socializing with our friends and looking for things to laugh about in general.

Worrying

 

Since I've quit worrying which is really an ongoing mind  re training project with me, I've had time to read all the books you see on the left.
I've also had time to watch countless movies old and new, as well as attend to numerous projects, participate in social events and be in active communications with my few trusted friends around the globe.
I've also found that I have no tolerance for people who participate in worry and who wants to share their worries with me.
It just does not feel good to me.

Finding harmony with my own desires

 

My ongoing work is to find harmony with my own desires.

This usually comes to the forefront when I am experiencing situations that are uncomfortable.

The more I look at or participate in the uncomfortable experience, the more discordant I become.

What to do about it?

Firstly, from looking at this this thing that I do not want, I know instinctively what it is I do want and that is what I have to find vibrational harmony with -

What I desire.

Desire is what causes the universe to expand.

It is wonderful to know that we are all free to choose the things we like and that we do not have to choose the same things.

Everyone can choose differently and live harmoniously, but that requires a very broad perspective.

Those who are not willing to share this broader view will have a very different experience.

I firmly believe I came here because I knew it was the most amazing place to be and that  I did not want to miss it!

My only work is to choose thoughts, words and actions that feel as good as this amazing planet!

Born to be selfish

 

I am proud to say that I am a very selfish being!

It took a while to arrive here too!

What a place to be!

The freedom here is indescribable!

There is no limit to the use of exclaimation marks for one thing!

It is enlightening to know that I do not have to do what they want, 

or think like they want me to, 

or say what they think I should say,

or do what they think I should do, 

or feel as they feel.

I am selfish enough to know that good feels good and therefore IS good.

Anything that feels less than good is totally unacceptable to me.
