Happiness

Posted on by
Standard

Happiness means different things to different people. Happiness to me means peace of mind and doing my life’s work. I have the peace and am working on my life’s work of being and artist and writer. Sometimes I can’t trust certain people with my happiness and dreams. They will cut me down and make fun of me. I have experienced this many times and have decided that I really feel sorry for those that try to cut me down. (Emphasis on TRY). And I realize if someone is trying to cut me down I am already above them.  Now that’s happiness.Rock On.

The Human Heart

Posted on by

The human heart is so easily broken. All it takes is one unjustified surprise to break it. Hearts can destroy just as easy as build. It’s wonder how one heart can even exist in a world of pain.

Sometimes our own fear takes over and it seems nothing is working.

The remedy: Stop the thinking. Detach and be very objective. Get a good nights sleep, get quiet, be very good to yourself and your knowing will kick in. Knowing the next step and the restoration of your peace of mind

High Speed

Posted on by

When you really know in your gut, DNA, heart and mind what your path is, your life will kick into high speed. So will your challenges. How do you know you are moving forward in the right direction? By the intensity of your focus.

There will be distractions but they will be momentary and brief allowing you to refocus quickly.

How magnificent is that!

Happy Creating.

Thoughtful Thursdays # 13

Posted on by

Hey Gang.

Yes it’s been a while since Thoughtful Thursdays was posted. Today’s post is about the Queensborough Public Library

I have loved the library since I was little. Every week since forever ( since I was little) I have taken out library books. Even today I took out books. This is my own public plug for all libraries.  Where can you get books Like Seth Godin’s enormous collection of business books? Or Christine Perillo’s cookbook series. And classics like Shakespeare, Dante, Madeline, Curious George, Dr. Seuss. 

Any book I have an interest in I check with the library first. 99% of the time they have it. Right now I am reading Margaret Atwoods “Negotiating with the Dead” suggested reading from Stephen King’s book “On Writing”. Both books I got from the library.

With the onset of e books, Nooks, IPads and such the library is not going anywhere. They will keep up to date with technology for sure. There’s nothing like the comfort of knowing the library will continue to be around for a long time.

So go there, get a library card, meet the great people who work there, cool off or warm up. It’s a place to learn or just socialize.

Happy Reading.

I Love Cats

Posted on by
Standard

Mountains of Colorful Cats.
Tiny Itty Bitty Cats.
Cats that run and Jiggle.
Stand on their heads and Wiggle.
Upside down Tricks and Dancing Brown Kittens.
There’s happy Cats.
There’s snoozy Cats.
Cats that chase butterfly’s.
Cats that flip upside down.
Cats that like toys.
Cats with long fur and short fur.
Cats are quiet.
You can’t hear them walking.
Talking Cats.
Running up a tree Cat.
Spying on birds Cats.
I love Cats that nap in the sun.
I love Cats that play with bunnies.
I love Cats with cold noses.
I love Cats and they love me.

Blame

Posted on by
Standard

There are occasions that all of us played a part in the blame for something. Our part in the blaming event has become hidden in forgetting what we did with whom. We cannot recall the events or actions of the time. Or maybe we have gone into denial of what was actually done.

It is helpful to be aware that an error in judgment or misunderstanding is more about choosing the wrong option at the time. As soon as you realize this it is your opportunity to change direction. Perhaps you are partly to blame. If so, admit it. At that moment you make the choice not to repeat the same mistake again.

 If you make the choice not to repeat the same mistake and slip up, take heart and keep trying. You will succeed.

 Happy trying.

Henry the Little Bear

Posted on by

Once upon a time there was a little brown bear. His name was Henry. Henry loved to spend his days in the Spring flower beds. He would pick pink, green, yellow and blue flowers for his Mom. His Mom loved every flower Henry brought home. Henry found honeycomb with sweet honey. The honey spilled on his chin. Mom brought the honeycomb home for a sweet treat. Henry counts butterfly’s. One, Two, Three. Oh, one landed on his nose. Gentle butterfly. A ladybug sits on a green leaf and wavers hello to Henry. “Hello” says Henry. It’s time for bed. Mom has made a soft bed of pillows and toys. “Good nite Henry, I love you.” said Mom. “Good nite Mom, I love you too Mom.” said Henry. He fell fast asleep.
