Dec 11/2023 Am I My Brother's Keeper

       Read about article about a daughter  who was upset about her mother's unclear thinking.  Growing up the mother didn't take the kids to doctors too often. The kids did get their shots though. The daughter did have to take care of some health issue when she became an adult. If it was treated when she was younger she wouldn't have to contend with it today.  Now, the mother won't get her RSV shot eventhough she has asthma.  This upsets the daughter because of covid and lung virus that could kill the mother. The mother who has her covid shots then says when queried if she got the newest booster. She said she is not getting it. The daughter can't get her to reason. The mother is entrenched in conspiratorial platforms. The daughter can't make any headway with her. The advice she is given is you can still mention it to her but there is not much to be done unless she eventually is ruled to be her guardian.

       Very sad to see this happen to a loved one. Very painful.  In my family once, my mother said to my father I'm done with the doctors. My father tried to get her to change her mind. It didn't work. Four days later he says to her ok, ok then it's settled I too will no longer go to doctors as well. My mother thought about this for 61 seconds and said I will make an appointment to see the doctor.  Pop had the brain alright. Love in action. Another contentious problem solved. Good on you pop.

Dec 9/2023 Do What You Can

        I read this story about a young woman who had to go back to waiting tables in her late 30s. She was worried about if she could keep up to the grind. In 6 weeks she was comfortable in the job. She liked being of service to people. Trying to make them happy by giving good service. She liked the feeling she got seeing happy people enjoying their lives. She liked being around that environment. It fed her soul. A couple in their 50s came in  one day. They ordered  salad and bread. They said delay the main meal order. So she did. The main dinner was pasta and sauce.  It was a quick put together. Another server brought the plates over,  since she was busy. Well , that couple became enraged that the food was brought too early in their opinion. They caused a fuss. The manager had to come over and they demanded free future meal voucher. Manager said  not going to happen. So, the customer is not always right.

       So you do the best you can. Don't let the ingratitude affect  your demeanor. There are people out there who have no empathy and cannot see themselves. We have a choice to let their perceived upsettment get under our skin or not. Some people rerun the scenario through their brains trying to see what was wrong with them or their own actions. These people can rent space in your head. Your mental health is like a garden to you. You take care of it. Nurture it. So if a weed (unkind person) blows in and sets root, it is our job to quickly uproot it. Put it in the compost bin a place for waste for future garden nourishment. This experience has made for a healthier garden and a stronger you. By being kind in word and deed we show the world a better way.

Dec1/2023 A little Blessing with a Punch

      Back in the late 90s I was going into the cellar. There was a rough opening through a block wall. You had to step up into it. This day I did and hit my head hard on a big shut off valve without a handle.  The valve was wrapped in cloth for protection. Didn't work. Hurt like the blazes. Got a hematoma from it on top of my head. The blood blister rose 1/4 inch. The hair hid it though. I knew the valve was there right in the middle of the walkway. I just forgot. So I had a reminder from that day every time I touched it. A big pimple.

      Two months ago I'm going down the staircase in my second home. The wall partition that is overhead is low clearance but not by much. Usually I don't hit it with my head. This time I hit but good. Bunch of profanity. It hurt like the blazes. I hit it right on top of the hematoma. No blood though. Couple days later I feel it with my finger and it seems lower. Now 2 months later it is definitely flatter. So it was a small blessing orchestrated by divine spirit. One hit caused it the other fixed it. 25 years later. The blessing was painful but worth it. Well you heard it said better to light a candle than curse the darkness. In my case it was ok to curse the darkness. Plastic surgery by divine spirit. Thank-you!

Nov /27/2023 Something Weird

  So I was at this woman's  house. She dropped a bowl of sugar on the floor and it broke. She said that wasc3rd time in 6 mos that she had some sort of sugar mishap. She said it must mean something. I thought to myself thats easy, lay off sugary foods. It's called a waking dream. It's  like an arrow pointing out a problem.

      Another female I knew got very, very upset when she came home and found her small dog dead by the garage. She had a large property that she had invisible fence installed so her 8 dogs could run around. It worked great. She wanted to know what stray dog did this horrible thing. I said ask divine spirit or God for the answer. I saw her a month later. So what did you see about this killer dog. She said it was ambigous. One day I saw an all black dog another day was all white. I said it was a black and white dog. Then I knew who the culprit was. I didn't  tell the woman. It was one of her own dogs. A black and white lab. So she asked God for the answer and he delivered it that way.  It's  our job to figure it out.

      Now it's my turn. Thanksgiving eating a store bought turkey. First I ate the whole turkey leg, which was good then I took half a breast. I'm chewing it and something feels off. I thought I broke another tooth. Nope it's looks like a silver metal 3 penny finishing nail without the head of the nail. What the.....It's about 3/4 inches long. A nail. What's it mean? I don't  know. But I will keep trying to figure it out. It does have a meaning. So when something weird happens pay attention there is a meaning there.

Nov 23/2023 Today is Thanksgiving

       It is a day to be grateful for the things we have learned during the course of the year. And the more we learn the better we become in all situations. Each and every year hopefully makes us stronger in all ways. We know we are succeeding when we look back and see if we are in a more happy state. Because when problems arise we know how to deal with them. If we get stuck in a situation we have divine spirit to lend a helping hand. We try to put in our lives the people and events that will make us feel good. So many things can be resolved with saying a kind word or doing a kind deed. By doing this we 'paint ' a brighter future for ourselves. So as we reflect there is indeed much to be thankful for. We do what we can for ourselves and our loved ones.

NOV 16/2023 NO Release

       So I'm  out of state at a relatives house. Getting a used van. At a service station we try too take out the back seats after reading owners manual. It's a Kia. Hard to understand the directions in owners manual. Still can't get it out. The front part was already lifted out but the back was still locked in tight to the 2 heavy metal clips. Told him to go down street to kia dealer and ask them. They said the seats weren't  put back in the right way. They would have to be cut out. Take car back to the house. I look up you tube on how to take them out. The video is 2 minutes  long. Easy peasy. When the lever is dropped you hear a snap and the back releases then tilt it forward and lift it out. On this van the front connectors are out of the track and can't get them back in. You drop the lever and hear a snap. But it still held fast. 

      So I got smart, I said ok I ask divine spirit for help. I'm still doing actions to free the 2 chairs. This time I push the chair back wards and it resists that movement. I kept pushing and the damn thing rolled over and released. Amazing! It worked on the second one too. So I didn't get them out until I asked for the help. I didn't accept the dealers advice, and tried to still get them out. But that happened after I made the ask. So I try to do things myself  most of the time. Wrong! I got to ask divine spirit more often in the small things and the big things. A lesson for me.

      This happened quickly but other times it will take longer. This is where the focus has to be lasered in. You can't forget about the initial ask. Always try to make it happen. When we get distracted we will miss out on something good that is coming our way.

Nov 15/2023 The Push is On

       Everything you see and hear are there because you put them there. If you don't like what you see or hear, you can make changes starting now. But first you have to have a clear view of what exactly you want instead of what you have.  Focus on what one thing or a situation you would want to enhance your life experience. Write it down in your journal. Also you can create a story board. A big blank poster board that you put pictures or words on that you would like to see in your life. Focus on one thing first. Write about what action you are going to do to attain this want. Every Sunday read the journal and comment on the actions and what small gains you made in making it happen. That situation you desire has been put in motion. It will take time for it to come into fruition.  The more emotional energy that you put behind it, will make it come faster to you. By doing these actions you are creating a better life for yourself. Be patient,  the thing or experience is coming toward you. And when you attain it, you pick another goal. If you have any setbacks, there IS Always a way around them. At any time call in divine spirit to help you out.  It has an infinite amount of ways to bring you that answer. Keep your eyes and ears open. When you see it work,  your life will be definitely  better and more joyful.
