“We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.”

Got A Lot Of Livin To Do. 😘

A Lot of Livin’ to Do
Song by Ann-Margret, Bobby Rydell, and Jesse Pearson

There are girls just ripe for some kissin’
And I mean to kiss me a few!
Oh, those girls don’t know what they’re missin’
I’ve got a lot of livin’ to do!
And there’s wine all ready for tastin’
And there’s Cadillacs all shiny and new!
Got to move, ’cause time is a wastin’
There’s such a lot of livin’ to do!
There’s music to play, places to go, people to see!
Everything for you and me!
Life’s a ball, if only you know it!
And it’s all just waiting for you!
You’re alive, so go on and show it!
There’s such a lot of livin’ to do!
Such a lot of livin’ to do!
What a lot of livin’ to do!

Please rest and if your throat is a bit sore, do try Manuka honey. Just hope and pray that you are not coming down with Covid. I forgot to mention that when you visit mom and sis, you should be taking all precautions just the same. Wear a mask, wash those hands and social distance. Please get tested if you do not feel that great in the am. And, please do not stand on ceremony with your doctor. Give the physician a call. Most of all, please keep us posted. I am concerned and I think those who read and post in this thread feel the same.

Good afternoon in Oz. Went to mom’s this morning, home before the rain/snow. Not feeling all that swift today so I plan to lay down this evening in bed and watch some TV. My favorite sport, hockey, started back up on Wednesday so I will find a game.🏒 You and Poppy stay warm by the fire.🔥

We are a little warmer in Florida today with temps going into the 70s. Not much doing. Laundry and a few hours of messing with furniture and pictures. Tonight is trivia and at the same time I am hoping Taci will be in Arizona before the day ends, though I surmise it could be a two day trip. I’m also hoping that she will find her mom feeling better. I am hating this virus more and more. Just heard that Johnson & Johnson is coming out with a new inoculation which requires only one shot and is supposedly better than Pfizer and Modena. This one requires no refrigeration which means other resources could come into play. The FDA will be looking at it next week. Just do not know and the bigger question, do we trust Johnson & Johnson.

See you soon.

Raising Our Consciousness

From the peace at our center, we gain distance from our emotions to connect to intuitive wisdom.

Albert Einstein said, “No problem can be solved from the same consciousness that created it. We must learn to see the world anew.” A Nobel Prize winner, Albert Einstein’s scientific theories transformed the world’s understanding of the universe and its workings, so we can believe that these words come from his personal experience and helped him to explore both science and life itself. He offered us an example of what can be learned by looking deeply into nature to reach a deeper understanding of all life and by following our ideas to their logical conclusions in our minds before acting upon them in the world.

When we apply this quote to our lives, we can see that we cannot create abundance by staying in a consciousness of poverty, nor can we gain a sense of power in our lives while identifying ourselves as a victim. Situations begun from anger or fear can have little chance of reaching a state of peace and trust unless someone involved can conceive of that possibility and act upon it. We need to find ways to step outside of our limited understanding in order to seek a bigger picture. One way to do this is to shift our perspective to see the situation from another’s point of view and ideally the perspective of all others involved. Even if we can’t truly know another’s motivations, by imagining what they might be, we open ourselves up to numerous possibilities and an expanded vision. This alone can shift our feelings of anger to compassion and the desire for a positive solution for all involved.

Once we have opened our mind to greater possibilities, we can connect to our higher self for inspired solutions. From the peace at our center, we gain distance from our emotions to connect to intuitive wisdom that offers us understanding of the underlying causes and the inspiration needed to guide our steps in a new direction. Albert Einstein showed us the impact that can be made when we raise our consciousness and allow ourselves to imagine the possibilities.
