Oh yeah! Today's the day.

[Jamastiene]

I can feel it. My back, my stomach, and my head all hurt at the same time in that certain way. I don't need no fucking misogynist cell phone to tell me either. :eyes:

I hate my own shadow today. Somebody make me quit hating everything that crosses my line of vision or line of hearing. Tell me happy stories about animals, trees, Robin Hood, punk rock (the good stuff, first generation. no second generation poser shit, please), something nice. There must be some nice, some good, in the world, right?

I'm so fucking sad today. :(

1. You must have some things you've done in your life that made you happy.

A Secret Scrolls message from Rhonda Byrne
Creator of The Secret



"How do I stop my negative thoughts?" - is a question that I have been asked many times. If you have ever asked this question then you will feel such enormous relief in knowing the answer, because it is so simple. How do you stop negative thoughts? You plant good thoughts!

When you try to stop negative thoughts, you are focusing on what you don't want - negative thoughts - and you will attract an abundance of them. They can never disappear if you are focused on them. The "stop" part is irrelevant - the negative thoughts are your focus. It doesn't matter if you are trying to stop negative thoughts or control them or push them away, the result is the same. Your focus is on negative thoughts, and by the law of attraction you are inviting more of them to you.

The truth is always simple and it is always easy. To stop negative thoughts, just plant good thoughts! Deliberately plant good thoughts! You plant good thoughts by making it a daily practice to appreciate all the things in your day. Appreciate your health, your car, your home, your family, your job, your friends, your surroundings, your meals, your pets, and the magnificent beauty of the day. Compliment, praise, and give thanks to all things. Every time you say "Thank you" it is a good thought! As you plant more and more good thoughts, the negative thoughts will be wiped out. Why? Because your focus is on good thoughts, and what you focus on you attract.

So don't give any attention to negative thoughts. Don't worry about them. If any come, make light of them, shrug them off, and let them be your reminder to deliberately think more good thoughts now.

The more good thoughts you can plant in a day, the faster your life will be utterly transformed into all good. If you spend only one day speaking of good things and saying "Thank you" at every single opportunity, you will not believe your tomorrow. Deliberately thinking good thoughts is exactly like planting seeds. As you think good thoughts you are planting good seeds inside you, and the Universe will transform those seeds into a garden of paradise. How will the garden of paradise appear? As your life!



May the joy be with you,

7. here is a tree story

There is a beautiful orchard near me, on a slope along the lake, with hundreds of heirloom fruit varieties in it, and I was glad that a farmer I know was able to pick it up because I thought sure that it would go for development, being view property in a hot location. I didn't know the previous owner very well, so I didn't have much access to it, but I always wanted to get in there.

As soon as I heard that it had been saved, and sold to someone I know well, I jumped in the car ran down there. Rose, the new owner, was there sweeping out the fruit stand on the highway and cleaning it up, and she said "just the person I want to see. Run back there and take a look at those trees, because I want to know what I have there." Ah, free access to the orchard after years of wanting to get in. I asked her how things were going and she said "great, if I can just get the boys to get those damned houses out of there." Huh? "Houses?" I asked. "Yeah someone built five big houses on the ridge right in the middle of the orchard. I want them out of there so we can put more fruit trees in." Hah! All over the country they are tearing out orchards to put in McMansions, and here Rose wants to tear out houses so she can plant fruit trees.

"The boys" - her husband and brother-in-law - did pull the houses out, and sold them "cash and carry" - lol. So funny. Only a framer would sell brand new houses on a cash and carry basis.

So I walked back into the orchard. It was so beautiful; 70 degrees, blue sky with a few puffy clouds, gentle breeze. From the top of the ridge you could look out on Lake Michigan. Hundreds of apricot trees, dozens of varieties, all laden with fruit just hanging in clusters, all different shades of yellow, orange, red and maroon, and then rows and rows of cherry trees, dark sweets, light sweets, tarts. It was all breathtakingly beautiful.

It was all so perfect. I thought a lot about "ownership" and what is of value and what isn't as I walked that orchard that day. That beautiful orchard had been saved, they ripped out those ugly Mansions, put them on blocks and sold them off cheap, cash and carry - "get those things out of here!" Rose said lol - without a moment's thought about the hundreds of thousands of dollars they were passing up by doing that, a good crop was ripening and coming in...

I thought this is what it really means to be a "winner" - everybody wins. This is what it really means to be "wealthy" - we all benefit, and we all have everything we could ever possibly need.
