Peace

I wanted to share this

Looking for peace is like looking for 

a turtle with a mustache: 

You won't be able to find it. 

 

But when your heart is ready,

 peace will come looking for you.

- Ajahn Chah -

 

A turtle with a mustache!??-   I love it!  How bout one with a party hat? Being silly is sometimes the best thing to be.

Peace!  

Luv ya,

A reminder

Have you sat in silence lately? 

 Even if the full act of meditation isn't your thing, taking some time to just sit in silence, giving the universe (for me my angels and God)  the opportunity to tell us something we need to know.

I've posted before about the power of meditation and science just keeps finding ways to back up what "new agers" have been saying all along.  Now scientists say that those who meditate tend to have better brain power over time and less dementia.

Silly scientists. They need to just accept that letting God talk to us is a boost to brain power, to dreams, to plans, to......... But again, even if you don't commit to the act of meditation, a moment or two of pure silence -listening to the sounds around you, feeling and hearing your breath, eyes closed.

Luv ya,

The Lords Prayer.

I think I've posted before that I think The Lord's Prayer is the most perfect verse/prayer. Broken down and translated to today's thinking, it covers everything. So it's worth a reminder. When you want to curse someone- say the Lord's Prayer, when your day is going badly- say The Lord's Prayer over and over. During that dreaded exercising, say the Lord's Prayer. And the musical versions are amazing. Here are 2 versions of the prayer in song. We've all heard the traditional and very beautiful versions by choirs and operatic soprano's.  Thought you might enjoy sort of a rasta version to get the smooth and cool in ya movin. The other is just cause I think its cute (if a little annoying).  Enjoy your day.

Luv ya,

Songs cont'd

Well I guess this is just going to be a running theme for my postings.

SONGS THAT I WAKE UP SINGING!.

You will really have to bear with me today, cause it's a weird one. but once I thought about it there is a really good lesson in this one.
Ready?..................The Flaget High School pep song.
I know, I know- Why did I wake up singing this song!!??
But let's look at the lyrics with my comments in red

The Flaget Braves are hard to beat-   be proud and confident
They are 100 per from head to feet-  give 100%
They've got that smile that style that winning way - exude happiness, have swagger, show you're a winner
No matter where you go you'll recognize that style (smile)- have a reputation for being happy, successful
They'll say now there's a team I'd like to know- we'd all like to be someone people want to know
couple other verses similar
Last line is:  Quite a treat hard to beat!

Be hard to beat out in this world, but in a way that people will appreciate. In a way that will make people eager to see you. Be someone that gives 100%. Doesn't hurt for us all to be reminded occasionally.  Or in the words of the infamous Charlie Sheen:

WINNING!

Luv ya

It Can't hurt!!

Hey guys, did you ever make your treasure map? Remember the poster or list of the things you want in your life. Just a reminder!
I was in a conversation when Treasure mapping came up and they all do it,every year and swear by it. Some also burn a list of what they don't want. I did a really simple version (shown). Remember?


 Ok- my ear worm for the day- I do not make these things up-
Good Morning- Disney style.

I like this

Why is asking so hard for us. I know you guys, Nick and Alli, really have a hard time with this one as do I.
So go for it damn it! :-)

Luv ya

A Tale of Two Vickis :-)

Look at what I wrote yesterday!   I woke up in a vile mood and it only got worse. My lawn mower quit on me the day after I "fired" my lawn guy and  my outside faucet got stuck on and I had to turn off the waster to the entire house for awhile.

Will I am a bit embarrassed. Imagine my dismay when I turned on the TV yesterday and there was a commercial for Power Ball, Kentucky lottery or something and there was the Power song I had posted about the day before. So either I psychically knew the song would be coming on or I had already heard it. I'm guessing I already heard it. 

And now that I think about it,  finding a dime is just finding a dime. No more, no less. And isn't it true that it doesn't matter how positive you are- the shits (shitty, mean, bad people) really do win and being too nice really is a bad thing. I know people who go through life never smelling the roses or being grateful who are on top of the world- who have what they need and much more. They wake up crabby, stay crabby, never sing "Joyous" music, seldom have a kind word and they WIN WIN WIN.  You can ask all you want but you probably won't receive and so what if it's another day the lord or whoever has made. What's the point of all this, right?

RIGHT!

 Oh My.  Now how do you feel after reading that? Sad?  A bit deflated? Concerned about me?   If it affected you at all - you are not one of those that can go through life being crabby and mean.  So go back and read something positive. It'll make you feel better.

I don't like feeling like what the paragraph above describes, but sometimes I do. Yuck yuck- when that happens. I have to work to follow my own advice. I like believing in Angels and singing happy songs. I want to be that person even if I'm not always a winner. 

I felt so much better after writing it down- Lesson- write it and get it out.  I've heard that from a lot of sources and it really does work.  But don't send it!

So the rest of the story and today's real post.  When I went to bed last night I laughed at myself and how mad I got (I threw things lol). I thought "maybe the mower not working saved my life- it was hot - maybe I would have had a stroke or heart attack".  I relaxed and thought that it would all work out.
When I got up I decided to try looking at the mower again.  (I did once, twice already yesterday and nothin.)  I looked underneath and just followed my :instincts. It really was like I was being guided to go here, then go there and I FIXED IT!!  OMG I don't know- I do think negative feelings and thoughts beget negative and having faith is good. I don't know- interesting. 

Luv ya.
