4/03/2926. Tesla

            Another 2 deaths in a Tesla in Florida. Dec 30 2024. The self driving feature was engaged, it drove off the highway suddently and hit a tree bursting into flames. A passerby tried to help but the doors could not open. I've read other instances concerning Teslas as well, resulting in deaths. In my estimation I do not recommend these cars to ride in. Death traps. A battery fire is way way hotter than a gasoline fire. I'd be wary of all self driving cars. So that there is my 2 cents.

3/31)2026 Another Anniversary

     Today is the sixth anniversary of  this blog. Begun with the start of covid. That March in a hospital near me every person brought into this hospital died, over 35 of them. Scary times back then. And this day it is still scary times. I believe that when we are close to God we can have his protection. This relationship is like an anchor that will keep us from drifting to the tides of man's folly. By using DS on a daily basis we gain more trust and equanimity. So that when trouble comes we are prepared and that we will check in with DS forthwith. We can get this message from a gut feeling, a dream, a waking dream or direct contact in our head in the form of words. Prayers can work too. Like as told before, when I was on an extension ladder in the heat and felt run down. While on the ladder, I got burst of energy and felt like my old self. A couple hrs later a guy I work for came over to me and told me he was worried about me and prayed for me. I got the prayer. I thanked him. Bottom line when bad thing  happen , go to DS ( Divine Spirit) first.

             California. A guy teaches surfing to his students along the sand usually. This day for some reason he holds class on the jetty that juts out into the ocean. He says he never does this. During the class, he barely hears commotion out in the ocean. He jumps in and swims out,  maybe with the board. He located a father and daughter struggling in the water. He brings them back to shore. The father said he jumped in to rescue his daughter who got swept out by a rip current.  As the father got to the daughter he was too exhausted to swim back. Now if he held his class on the shore ,he probably wouldn't have heard the distress sound. So unbeknownst to him DS influenced him to set up on the jetty. We can have the opportunity to go to that jetty with a concious mind.  By practicing with DS and relying on it. We become more in tuned with it. I am not there yet. I get feelings about subjects, and I pay attention to that. Something akin to a spidey sense. Do I screw up......affirmative.  But I always get back up on the horse.

           East coast. Florida, again father hears the cries of his  3 teenage daughters. They are grouped together in the ocean due to a rip tide. He yelled out I'm coming, I'm coming hang on. He has some kind of board. He gets them to put each of their hands on the board. He starts to flounder. Other rescuers get the girls to shore and him. Sorry to say he didn't make it. This is life. Some will live and others not. The father did what love demanded.  Father gets an A+. He lives as soul every bit as a real as you and then some.  There is plenty of bad in the world. Look for the good and add to it with your good thoughts and deeds. It starts with you. By changing you , you uplift others. Wheather, you recognize it or not. 

3/15/2026 Bam..,.You Ain't Going Anywhere

           Rosemary Thornton is an author from England. Her husband took his life and she had angers and recriminations. Many weeks of grief. Yo the point she had stage 2 cancer. She prayed that she would be rid of the pain physical and mental. Also that she wouldn't have to make anymore gut wrenching decisions. She went to have a gynecological biopsy. She was having bleeding down there. The hospital discharged her. When she got home the bleeding got worse. She said well I guess this is my ticket out of my grief. She calls an ambulance. At the hospital she is given morphine which caused her blood pressure to collapse. She was dead for 10 minutes. When she got there a nurse said we will not let you die. She felt herself launched out of her body. All her negative feelings stayed with the body and peace reigned throughout her new body.. a figure glides toward her and it is her. Welcome home Dearie. I an the original . Then the room went white. She said her hand was on heaven's door. When she went through it that was it. But first she asked....is this God's will? NO! It is your choice. You will have God's mercy always. She thought about it and was ready to walk in through. But the she looked back and sees the nurse crying because  Rosemary was dead. Rosemary didn't want that woman to have pain because of her demise.  She dropped her hand from the handle and just like that she was back in her body. Gone was her self loathing and pain. As well as the cancer. She sold all her stuff and moved to the United States. To the cornfields of the Midwest. Angels came to sing to her, it was for her healing and they said we know life is hard on Earth. I read this in the Mirror a publication.

           I had a likewise experience. In a dream I found the staircase to heaven. I ran up that long flight and had my hand on the doorknob. He said you walk in.... then you don't go back. Ok. Coming up the staircase fast was my wife, I turn and look at her. Bam ....I wake up. 

3/08/2026. What To Do About Toilet Paper (tp))

             Recently,  A  math teacher in Georgia named Hughes, hears commotion outside his house. He runs outside to see kids throwing TP onto his lawn. He chases after them and trips in the street and falls under the wheels of one of his student's large pickup truck. The kids stop and render aid, prank gone wrong. Hughes died. Leaving behind 2 kids and his wife.

             This guy was a nice guy always helping people. But letting anger or major upsetment into your consciousness can result in bad changes to your future life or no life. Something as benign as tp took him out. I've seen it in my own life play out but not to this extreme. When we get upset ....stop what your doing or thinking. Reboot and put your attention on God or somebody you love. Stay there for ,5 minutes. Do some breathing exercises. When that tension breaks you should be good to go. Take positive actions for the next hour in word and deed.

              Alot of things can trip us up,.. let's not let this one take us down. Start each day on a positive note. Say the uplifting words and do ,5 positive actions before starting your day. This should help you ...say at work or on the road even dealing with family members.

               Life is about choices every single minute of the day. Master yourself before anything else. It starts here. Not what is going on in the world. Focus on this every morning. This is priority number 1. Always.

3/06/2026. Car Issues

         Been having trouble with my Hyundai for over a year. It's got 206,000 mi on it. But I like the sound of motor and transmission. So I replace the alternator, starter ,battery and some cable that's 8 inches long that keeps car from not starting. That cable was over 200 dollars. I can't get it registered because it failed emissions. It throws codes. So Feb 2025 mechanic says it's the purge valve. Spend 250 on that. 2 days later the check engine light is on again. Another code gas tank cap. 25 dollars. Didn't shut off the check engine light. Gave up after that. Got insurance on car but no registration. The car runs good though. Those codes keep me from getting it registered. Don't want to spend thousands on getting it fixed. Another guy said its the vapor sender ,,400 bucks. I say do I get a guarantee that the code is erased. He says no. And it may cost more money. I asked DS for help here. I call around all morning and find a guy who will check it out for me. He tells me it could be 15 thing that's causing the problem. He mentioned the charcoal canister which I knew of from the internet. But this guy was the only one who told me about 15 potential problem sites. No one else did. I have an appointment next week. I hope he finds it. I called the state, if I put 450 into a repair and it eliminates a code, they wll let me slide. And I get to register it. I hope.

2/17/2026 Death

         An acquaintance I know showed up in my dream last night. She just died a month ago .  I'

In the dream I'm sitting at a desk with a lap top. This one has a real big screen way too big for a lap top. I look at the pictures they are in color but they are many browns treess. They didn't have leaves, a winter scene but no snow. The next couple pictures looked the same. Maybe a small creek bed. So I knew she got cremated and a friend of hers took the ashes up a small mountain to release them. So I was the last person to talk to her. I asked the aide on phone to put her phone next to her. She was now non verbal. I said I know you can hear me and you can leave now go to the light and sound  and that God is love. She died shortly after that. So last night, she showed me where her ashes were cast. This scene is what I would expect from this area of the country. It was spot on. 

2,/15/2026. Plans

         Going through life you follow steps to get to a point where you want to be. I do this routinely. Well a monkey wrench got dropped in the mix and upset the apple cart. In this case, I know it's God's doing. It isn't that great for me. But it is something that he wants to accomplish in the big scheme of things. Why , I don't know. Eventually I'll come to know though. So God sent me that warning with the waking dream of girls pull over with big ass lettering CHILL. This was in the beginning. So I'm still chilling.

2/9/2026. Cool

           Well still chillin here. Don't know what my future holds but I will make the best of it. So I read something on  comedian Carol Burnett. She was up for some real good part in a screening for a job in the early 50s. She lost out to another actress. She said oh well I guess it was her turn....my turn will come though. This is a person in the right frame of mind. We should all aspire to be like her. No recriminations or bitterness. Her door did open eventually. Another actor on the Office named Rainn Wilson was a struggling actor. He was walking on the street and had a conversation with other actor friends of his, they were all in the same boat. Some expressed frustration on not getting parts and worsening financial conditions. They were going to throw in the towel and they did. Rainn said he was going to hang on a bit longer. He was rewarded with Dwight Schrute. 

          One gal was struggling with her cupcake business it was a brick and mortar place. She told some people and they put it in Facebook. The next morning the line was around the block. Another gals bakery business is failing after she dunk her savings into it, quitting her regular job. Now she is going into the red. S third gal did her cookie business from home and has a small side hustle, that works for her. When following your dreams you have to push and think outside the box. With our tool box we have DS to help in our endeavors. This tool is our most versatile. Sometimes though you have to chill. 

          Yesterday during Superbowl I watched Walker a running back for Seattle hesitate behind the line of scrimmage while holding the football. He's slow and just waiting for a hole in the line to open up then he strikes explosively. Patience can have a great payoff. His team won and he got most valuable player.

         Be cool....,be patient.

1/28/2026. Battery

          Took back the battery to Auto Zone. The battery was no good according to their machine. And their records said I got battery in the beginning of October so I'll try it this morning. Always something. So DS said to chill, so I'm chilling with a little less hair. Oh and it ain't fun. All last year since February I have struggled with this car. A lot of times get in and it would not start. Always thinking what to do next. I thought I was set. Almost all new parts and then to have my expensive brand new battery fail. That is weird,  even for me. But there is nothing left to do than persevere. And to look for things to be greatful for.

         Edit: I was waiting for road service a from by insurance Co and they weren't showing up. I said DS you handle it. 10 minutes later I see a guy in parking lot giving some lady a jump. I run out there and he's putting the cables back in his pickup. Can you give me a jump. Yes. So I got the car running and left it run til I got to Auto Zone. Do the ask then the action by me looking out the window. Get  DS  working for you. I'd probably be still waiting another hour or two if I didn't call on DS.

1/27/2026. God Chill

         So there was a plan. It was working and then 1 day the apple cart gets turned over. Do that's where I'm at. Quite frustrating. Then one day I'm in Walmart and I see a gal wearing a pink hoodie that says God on top and below that Chill all in caps. That there is what you call a waking dream. Big letters for me so I didn't miss it. Got it. So I've been chilling figurtively and literally with ,-4 degrees out there. Thanks to Fern. Tried my car dead as a doorknob even though I bought a $ 220 battery back in August. Sucks. So Divine Spirit set this up and now I have to be patient to see it get resolved. Tomorrow I'll get this battery checked out by Auto Zone. Never a dull moment around here. I knew 2026 was going to be tough but I didn't see this coming. The only thing you can do is trust God. So be it.

1/14/2026 Black Oil

         This is the best bird seed for our our feathered friends. We have 2 Wallmarts nearby. Store 1 close by and the other (2) 15 min away. Last year store 1 didnt't have the 40 pound bag,  but at store 2 it did.  It was tucked away near camping supplies for some reason. They would have about 3 bags there. I would get 1. This October I noticed there were no more 40 pound bags to be had. Now it was 20 pound bags. Last January I paid 18 dollars for a 40 pound bag. I went to store 1 no 40 pound bag. I found a agriculture store like Tractor Supply where I got it for 18 dollars on sale in October. This store was about 35 min away though. So end of December I bought a 20 pound bag at Wal-Mart for 17 dollars ( store 1).

         So, I was thinking of finding a 40 pound bag again. Which started the end of December. Two weeks later I'm in store 1, where I just bought the 20 pound bag. There on top of the 20 pound bags was a 40 pound bag. This the store that never had a 40 pound bag. I bought the bag, $21.00.  Way cheaper than 20 pounds.  3 dollars more than last January.

        So, I just thought about the 40 pound bag briefly. And it appeared a week later. Only the one bag. Well that is what I call a gift. Thank-you DS.

        

1/07/2026 Duh

        December 2025, I'm at an Aldis in a checkout line. I'm doing the scanning and I'm almost done when a woman comes by and grabs her phone from the little shelf next to the pay station. She came back from her car to retrieve it. I didn't even know it was there. I took note. January 4th, my first trip out in the new year. Off to Wallmart. In the parking lot I exit the car check my back pocket and yep you guessed it,  no wallet. Duh, left it in my other pant's pocket. After all that talk about mindfulness. Humbeled once again. Drive back home and start over. When I'm cashing out with a person checker, they have a small shelf at a pay portal, where I put my wallet and sometimes my phone. Now, this time I put more concentration on that small ledge. After the sale, I get both items back into my pocket. So, the Aldi experience was a refresher course for me. I do need re-freshing.  Still messed it up. That''s ok,  still go forward. I think I will put a note to me and tape it to the dashboard.

        Today I got around to fixing that leaning coat rack. I thought of a better way to make it work. Now it stands straight.

        Also been working on these puzzles made with lego bricks. They come with books on how to put them together. The first one was a big O gauge  steam engine called a Big Boy. 1818 parts to it. Took me a month, off & on. I learned more about patience while doing this. Made some mistakes that required back tracking. It is fun though.

                    

1/1/2026 Happy New Year

         This year is going to be something alright. Maybe this year rely on  DS even more than ever. I know that I will be taking my own advice.

        In 2025, I tried to live in the moment. It is very hard to do. But I did have some successes. Mainly concerning the wallet keys and phone For the most part. Saved me time and money. I go a new microwave. It has a feature that the other one did not. You have o press a button to unlock the door. So I' ve been yanking the door to open it and you can't. Have to press the release. But it seems I forget on a constant basis. This shows I'm not living in the moment. Or yesterday I drop my keys on a 4 ft cabinet on the corner but this time they hit the floor. Lack of focus. So what does that mean. More than likely it means to slow it down and actually think what am I doing in the moment. Say you have a kid and they come up to you with a question and your busy or stressed. Well no matter what you slow it down and you listen to them. They will feel valued by you and trust builds. This is your priority. So this day is a reflection on your life from the last 365 days. I've seen improvements fir myself and I am happy about them.

       . This year I will continue the same course. Always work with DS and continue to focus in what I hope to accomplish.
