Im sure you have noticed I dont allow comments.
In order for me to stay focused on what I "think" to be true I dont wish to be thrown off by negative response.
Certainly I know I would love to hear from some of you.........but some of the world has fallen for the right to judge and be unkind.......and I just dont think its necessary
And wont ad anything to a blog to be grateful for what we have.
Short today as I arose at 4 and worked from 5 a.m. till after 2.
So Im in a hurry to get out on my deck and stare out into the spectacular day here.
Hope yours is going your way.

What is poor?
Sometimes in discussion I realize that what people define as poor is really a bit off balance.Poor means you make it but barely...........there are many more that are destitute......lost everything...no home .....no food so you have to understand that there is a difference.
As part of my on going fight to speak truth I will tell you exactly what my conditions are.
I made 15,000 last year
I owe but not crazy over the top
I drive an 18 year old car
I never pay full price for anything
I have the worst job of my life(negative people)
My wife and I havent vacationed in many years.
Etc,etc,etc.
But,I have so much.There is a huge push to live like a movie star these days ,in my town there are big foot homes all over.
I find it so silly........look at our big house with 2 people and using up energy like nobodys business!
You must be aware of what you are doing.It is easy to forget when money comes and you feel it is the normal thing to do to go start buying.But worse that because you have been fortunate you have allowed it to make you feel your somebody!I will let you in on a secret........you have always been somebody we all come to this world the same.Dont confuse luck with success..........They are hugely different.I see it all the time.You would do well figure it out now so your not left empty thinking the money would make you "happy".
Wealth,and all its trappings is not what people think.
If you do not appreciate the love and compassion in your own home that is right in front of your face I would advise looking harder.
There is a mist rising up over the trees to the west of my house.........the beauty,....the light.... my love of it,.....success!

Here We Go.....
My life became crazy the last couple of months.Work so exhausting and then moving my mother and hubs to a condo.She is 81 and he is 87 and they are amazing.But of course needed help which I wanted to provide so lots of days were taken up by work then moving.
And then trouble with the blog.........so glad its working!
THEN, poor and contenters I had a 2000 dollar car fix But.......as divine intervention would have it I was informed that I would be receiving a lump sum pension from my old employers as part of a merge deal .So I was so happy to open a check for 10,000 .So when the guy called and said the price it was the first time in forever I was able to say yup! do it.
I ,for the first time in a while actually got to my grateful place after struggling for some time.It was simply not having anything to do after work and walking out on my deck on this incredible high 70s day with great breeze.I stood on my deck and looked across the road at the very tall thin trees that bend and rebound in the wind............and realized what I know but keep forgetting.
I have everything I need and want in this tiny treasure of a home and an amazing woman to share it with.We are so easily thrown off by work and ego and obligation it starts to try to define you .It is of utmost import we remember what lucky creatures we are to have home, love and compassion.
For those of you that dont.......prayers ,love and peace to you as you struggle through the anguish of what I hope you will find your way out of.Maya Angelou said"Step out on the word"it doesnt have to be religious its saying step out and let the energy of all that is guide you.Faith and Hope to you.
