In Tune With Yourself

The rhythm of our lives. Indeed, it exists. Certain happenings make us feel happy or sad, anxious or depressed. If we are not focused on what our body and brain tell us, we wonder what is going on. Joy comes to each of us, as does pain and suffering. If we deny that reality, we deny ourselves. Being in tune with our environment is a good step.

Thoughts control our actions. Often, the thoughts are irrational or suppositions. Our world is a wonderful place if we relax. Rome was not built in a day. It is best to work on one thing at a time. Spring brings renewal and rejuvenation of spirit. The Serenity Prayer is true,’ God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, Courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.’

Time changes things. God knows the number of the hairs of our heads. Quiet helps. The media is wonderful. Media can kill. Moderation is the key. Faith is a reliable garment. I have worn it for 58 years. It never leaves me.

The Old Man was convinced he had a Guardian Angel. He had seen GA out of the corner of his eye a few times. Ga treasures his anonymity. In times of trouble, GA has come to the front. Now and again, the Old Man forgot GA was there. GA never forgets. GA was with the Old Man when he was young, riding in the ambulance; the driver said he did not think the Old Man would make it to the hospital. GA was with the Old Man when he first took a management job at the university and feared he would fail.

Harsh words and bad thoughts cause a bad stomach. ‘In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin, but he that refraineth his lips is wise.’

Behavior change can cause good health. The Carpenter’s Motto is to Measure Twice and Cut Once.’ Most angry words subside when reflected on.

Of late, our political world has afforded much strife. Strife has been placed on a pedestal for admiration. The good guys versus the bad guys. Fun if you are a good guy, not so much if you’re in the bad camp. Many are lost in the battle of the elite. We, Little People, suffer for the wars of the rich. The poor of the land have been left behind. Affordability is no longer a worry since the election is over.
