1096 (28E) NO! NO! NOT AGAIN! REVISITED 39

This post was originally written July 29, 2014—the anniversary of Dad's death

            Here's a short list of reasons why my first thought's not always my best thought:

Sometimes I'm thinking scared;  fear fogs up my think tank
Sometimes I'm thinking lonely; loneliness fogs up my think tank
Sometimes I'm thinking mad; anger fogs up my think tank
Sometimes my ego is doing my thinking ...
Suggesting that my intelligence has taken a hike.  

Sometimes my first thought serves as a stepping stone, which inspires my spirit to move forward in a self disciplined fashion until such time as my mind feels so calm that a positively focused plan of action emerges from my think tank, which, upon balancing emotion with logic, inspires change for the better, all around.

Each time another positively focused, mutually respecting plan pops out of my head, my heart, mind and spirit take wing, and flying in formation as freely as a flock of birds, chirping happily away, here is what you're bound to see if you walk outside and gaze up at the sky:  You'll see my smile shining forth as warm as a sun beam.  It's truly amazing how happy all of me feels each time I edit fear out of my decision-making process as in:  Less is more.

Each time a positively focused plan creates another opportunity to enjoy life to the fullest, my spirit has reason to awaken with such a sense of joy that my smile leaps out of bed, feeling as though Edison has plugged my mind into an electric circuit where every positively focused insight feels so light and bright as to transform the blues into a five star day..

With that said, I'm about to welcome my friend, who shimmers my hair, thus adding to the sparkle, which emanates naturally from deep within my soul when my inner life and outer life match ...

P.S.

This morning a friend who reads my blog called to say:

Annie, I wish I could express my feelings and thoughts like you do, so

I sat down to write, picked up a pencil, looked at the paper and said …

Oh, just fergetit!

At that we laughed and laughed ... 

And that's how my five star day began, today
