HOW ARE OUR THINK TANKS LIKE MUSCLES ... TENSING OR FLEXING?
“Like a nice, flexible muscle, the more we can be flexible in how we think about — and act in — situations, the less likely they [anxious reactions] are to have an enduring negative impact on our lives. In other words, there are almost always multiple ways to interpret situations with many interpretations generating less negative emotions. Similarly, there are multiple options in how we choose to act in those situations with many behavioral choices bringing about better/most satisfying/less problematic outcomes.”
—Simon Rego, PsyD, chief psychologist at Montefiore Medical Center/Albert Einstein College of Medicine
If you see yourself as positively focused but spend too much time feeling anxious (as though waiting for the other shoe to drop), then it’s likely that your subconscious harbors an unidentified fear, which conflicts with your reconsideration of choices, disregarded as dangerous to your personal sense of safety. As gaining insight into naming this fear serves to lighten the emotional weight that your heart has been lugging around unnecessarily for years, guess what brightens and lifts as naturally as if a magic wand had been waved over your head? Your spirit! And mine! Hooray! Hooray for what? Hooray for mind flexibility, which creates change for the better as your intuitive powers—feeling freed to speak as clearly to you as proves true for me—begin to flex for real!
Can a pair of two year olds, learn to share a toy sweetly?
What do you think makes that rarity possible?
Shoot! Video won't appear—yet another puzzlement in need of resolution!
I was hoping to demonstrate the fact that generosity of spirit is an attitude in need
Positively focused, calm, conscientious, patient, spot-on role modeling

It's no wonder that my spirit delights in the presence of young minds, which naturally engage with the process of learning by building upon whatever their think tanks absorbed the year before ...
Boys will bounce happily along as long as a ball's in the air
First soccer game ever—first goal scored—Hooray!
Ravi advances from: Gramma, peez take 'picter' of me to
Gramma, I take 'picter' of you!

GRAZIE MILLE!
Yesterday, a comment (referencing the post published
The day-before-yesterday) was placed in my comment box
As this comment is penned in an alphabet unlike the ABC’s
I’ve been on a quest that's not yet met with success to
Translate its contents into English, and though that puzzlement
Remains confounding, here is something I can clearly express:
I can clearly communicate my on-going appreciation for
The escalating number of Italians, who continue to
Seek out my blog, by saying: Grazie Mille!

WHAT TURNS A NEIGHBOR INTO A HEARTLESS KILLING MACHINE?
Upon awakening this morning, an emergent string of insights (concerning
That which turns ornery and even ‘passive’ neighbors into
Savage killing machines) was added to yesterday’s post, serving to
Deepen yesterday’s intuitive stream of conscious awareness by reminding us of
This timeless fact: It’s the last straw that breaks the camel’s back ...

HAPPY-GO-LUCKY IS A MATTER OF CHOICE
Afternote:
If you think happy go lucky disregards consequences
Please hold all judgments till today’s stream of
Intuitive thought thought ends with the last insight in
The string of insights which is about to brighten our
Conscious awareness by spotlighting this deeper truth:
Choice is often a matter of positive or negative attitude
And now, here comes the string of insights that
Intuition awakened me to pen, today, concerning
My perceptions of this week’s senseless killings in Las Vegas ...
(Did you catch the frequency with which life is lost, senselessly as though
We’ve come to expect mass murder to run rampant through our streets while
Nothing is done to proactively create change for the better, which
Is as senseless as the fact of our law makers bowing to the gun lobby)
The world has been called a jungle for sound reason:
Lurking behind masks of civility, wild beasts, loading weapons of
Destruction, live right next door or down the street from
Unsuspecting folk, like you and me, and since deeper truth
Suggests that this reality has been unchanging since
Survival of the fittest inspired one caveman to
Wrestle another for control over the second man’s kill
The innate force of self empowered brutality cannot be denied
Not even by a mind, trained to employ positive focus as
Habitually as is true of mine ... begging the question:
As citizens of the USA continue to gun down their classmates
Neighbors and neighbors’ children in schools than is true
Of any other well educated nation (thus barring third world countries)
To what reason must we remain blind, concerning
Why domesticated killing sprees spray bullets so
Freely throughout a nation that, perhaps, gives more
Lip service to democratic principles than we’d like to believe
Seriously, do we have more maladjusted malcontents
Lurking angrily amongst us than our communal defense system’s
Wall of denial allows the conscious portion of our brains to
Absorb once a shudder of momentary awareness, spotlighting
Human beastiality baring its fangs, has passed from
Conscious recognition into the cavernous depths of
Our brains, where much of historical knowledge must be
Repressed if we are to maintain the sanctity of
Surface decorum that’s necessary to safeguard our ability
To quell our survival instinct’s fear of personal safety each time
We leave our homes in pursuit of working to better
The lives of our loved ones, and ... if today’s insights are in fact
Deeper truths speaking aloud then tis fitting for this instructor of
Communications to begin the new year by focusing
The proverbial spotlight of intuitive insight upon our need to
Conscientiously expand school curriculums to include
Sociological knowledge concerning the intricate functions of
The human brain, beginning in junior high, so as to inspire
Tomorrow’s leaders and citizens to make better use of
Taming their gray matter than proves possible, today
And on that positive note, highlighting the importance (yet again) of
The line of control, I’ll consciously ready my sense of
Personal safety to adventure forth into the great unknown as
I leave my home to pick up Ravi, so that she and I can partake in
The innocence of today’s play date, which we plan to enjoy with
My young friend, Janice and her three year old daughter, Kari ...
And thus doth this train of thought suggest that living life to
The fullest requires a brain that lusts for knowledge and
A spirit that’s unafraid of carving an existential path through
The jungle, which may or may not devour your connection and
Mine to every day courage that’s subconsciously necessary if
We are to enjoy a happy-go-lucky existence within a world made
More dangerous by remaining ignorant of the complex interconnected
Workings of the body organ, which harbors deeply ingrained, oft times
Repressed attitudes that influence the existence of contradictory
Beliefs, behaviors and conflicting trains of thought within
The gray matter between a person’s ears, which left in
An unexamined state of being, challenges the brightest of intellects to
Feel need to consider the validity of choices that may be as changeable as
A gust of hot wind, suggestive of the fact that today’s nay may become
Tomorrow’s yea, and that confounding mystery proves primarily true for
This simplified (down to its lowest common denominator) insight driven reason:
The world is inhabited by civilized people, each of whom harbors
A brain composed of both sides of human nature, and here’s why
Every generation of writers reference a jungle _ plain and simple:
Unlike a gazelle, which remains a gazelle in every situation, through and through
Every person’s brain harbors the id, suggestive of the fact that well educated
Civilized folk, may harbor two thirds gazelle and at least
One third angry tiger, by nature, and if anything causes that gazelle
To snap, the stalking tiger’s fangs will unexpectedly pounce! Unless
The portion of the brain that’s pure tiger tiger has been conscientiously
Trained to choose cooperative methods of conflict resolution, which
Over the long run, prove more effective than baring claws and fangs, and
Once you’ve chosen to study the limbic system, you’ll agree that
Retracting fangs and claws is the best way to go, over all ...
(Have you read THE LIFE OF PI? Jeckle and Hyde?)
As every insight in this post is classic, not even one is new, suggesting that
Insights of a universal nature are always in need of further review in hopes of
Inspiring those who value education to absorb reason to voice need of
Expansive change for the better concerning our children’s daily curriculum
Seriously, my choice to buoy my spirit with a happy go lucky attitude
Doth not make an air head of Ravi’s Gramma Annie, not by a long shot ...

HERE'S WHY SIMPLIFING EMOTIONAL COMPLEXITY TO ITS LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR MAKES GOOD USE OF COMMON SENSE
Upon awakening, I felt need to scroll back and review the post entitled:
BY CALLING FORTH CREATIVITY, MY POWER OF INTUITION OVERRIDES MY DEFENSE SYSTEM'S FEAR OF EMOTIONAL COMPLEXITY
Why?
Because from time to time, intuitive intelligence inspires my conscious mind to scroll back to review specific strings of insight in hopes of transferring certain trains of thought, which have the potential to prove life-changing, from short term memory to long term memory so as to challenge my aging brain to remain as flexible as does my body after each stretching routine that I faithfully undergo with my trainer.
Though we all hope to age gracefully, the aging process has been known to stimulate fearsome eruptions of repressed emotional pain, which feels so unnerving as to free subconscious anxiety to run interference with the courage that's necessary to carry through with today's game plan and that's why I've trained my brain to employ my line of control to stop my defense system from acting out as contentiously with my adult offspring as was true of my parents, who’d unknowingly misdirected their subconsciously repressed anger at me.
As I plan to age with my conscious connection to cooperative attitudes intact, hopefully my family will continue to feel free to openly discuss our need to set mutually respectful boundaries, which maintain the delicate balance that safeguards the younger generation's need of personal space for existential growth at the same time that the older generation (me) develops an advancing need for compassionate care-taking.
As today's insight-driven train of thought highlights my conscious awareness of cooperative attitudes necessary to breathe new life into my treasured friendships with each of my sons, I plan to usher in the new year by conscientiously trusting my intuitive powers to shine spotlights upon insights, starred in the post named above (which can be found by scrolling six posts back) so as to reassure myself that my cooperative attitudes will remain uppermost in my conscious awareness for this reason:
*Giving lip service as I age to insights that had improved my life in the past will not become my pattern as the future unfolds.
If you agree to the importance of aging with common sense intact, let’s shine my spotlight upon this insight, as well:
*As long as I entrust my intuitive powers to simplify emotional complexity as my aging process advances, my assertive yet mutually respectful voice will naturally employ cooperative attitudes that will demonstrate my ability to negotiate objectively and peaceably with family and friends at times when conflicting needs erupt, and by adding generosity of spirit into the mix with consistency, my voice and pen will grow ever more effective at spreading the spirit of cooperation, near and far, as generously as softened butter soaks into nine grain toast, and each time I nourish the cooperative side of my nature by consciously modeling a mature sense of sound mental health, my aim to improve my attitude will tame my frustration with aging so as to contribute toward the enhancement of peace of mind, all around.
And now on a lighter field of play, tis time for this team player to wiggle my toes into my lucky socks followed by slipping my favorite player's jersey over my head so as to ready myself to offer our friends a warm welcome as soon as the door bell rings, signaling the arrival of tried and true fans whose high spirited passion for game day matches ours ... and as Chicago fans would agree: Where would we be if hope failed to spring eternal from deep within the human soul’s heartfelt connection to achieving long range goals if not today then some day as the future continues to unfold—and on that positive note, I'll turn my mind toward kick off time ...
