BEING HAPPY

BEING HAPPY

The secret to being spiritually happy is very personal. You have to want it, seek it, then you will find it. It takes time and patience but once you start feeling happy inside, you will want to hang onto that forever. It starts in your inner self, that spiritual place inside, your inner chakra. Latch onto it and it will permeate throughout your being. It will reflect outward and everyone around you will feel it too.
Like "Mr. Bill", you may still have bad things happen around you or to you BUT keep smiling and reject any outside negativity coming your way. (I will reject any and all negative thoughts and vibes). Put a white light of pure happiness, sereneness & peacefulness around you.

This may come easy for some, maybe even more have always felt this happiness in them but for others, like me, it is a work in progress. I know this life has not always been easy but as long as I am on this earthly plane, I will keep striving for improvement and to have happiness. I am on my way up and nothing will stop me now.



 

Let The Gardening Begin!

It’s that time again for us gardening guru’s to get digging in the dirt. Now is the time to start tilling & preparing the beds. My main garden is totally and completely covered in long grass and hay. It is going to be hard to get it prepared this year but I am determined to get it done, with the help of my hubbie & his trusty tractor. I am determined to get out there EVERYDAY this growing season & weed & baby that thing as much as I possibly can. I might have to set up a quartz crystal grid in a special spot to help it along. It couldn’t hurt, right?
I’m also going to have a hanging garden on the front porch. One section will be strawberries & lavender and the other will be herbs, lettuce, spinach & micro-greens.
This hanging grid is new for me & I can’t wait to get it operational. I used 2 liter plastic soda bottles and a piece of wire fence.

 

I LOVE WINTER?

I have decided if I tell myself and everyone how much I love winter, I might not hate it so much. So, here we go...10 reasons why I LOVE WINTER: 1. It is the last season of the old year and the first season of the new year. So, it is the only season to be in 2 separate years each and every time it comes around.

2. You get to use tons of lotion to keep your skin from getting cracked and dried out.

3. When you leave your house in the morning to go to work before the sun comes up and there was a freeze the night before, your headlights shining on the grass makes it look like diamonds glittering all around.

4. You get to see more things outside due to no leaves on the trees. 5. You get to plan for your spring and summer garden.

6. You don't break out into a sweat as soon as you go outside. 7. No Bugs! Especially fire ants being dormant and you can go outside at night without worrying about spider webs? 8. Many products at stores are on really good sales! 9. You get to drink hot cocoa and snuggle in front of the fireplace.

10. SNOW!!! If you are lucky.

Okay, that is it. Now I feel better. Thanks to google images for all the above pictures. And if you want to have a smile, google "dogs in snow"

THE LITTLE THINGS

For simple pleasures, you just have to seek, find and appreciate.

QUESTION EVERYTHING Don't be afraid to ask questions, to poke & prod, to get every bit of information you want on every subject. Don't go through life just settling for mediocre. Always having unanswered questions, leaves things unsettled. How can you learn without all the information? Knowledge is Power. Just because an ap on your cell phone doesn't tell you something, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I have found many words are not in the Merriam-Webster dictionary ap on the droid phone. BUT, they are still words non the less. Look elsewhere, dig. Don't believe one person's story without finding out some facts. Be OFFENSIVE. Knowledge is Power.

INTUITIVE KNOWING

I had a dream that one of my granddaughters was in distress. I awoke only to fall into another dream where the same granddaughter was in even more distress. After I got up, went to the kitchen for breakfast, my daughter called and said she thought her middle daughter had broken her foot. I asked her when it happened, she said about 30 minutes ago. That was the exact time I woke up from my dream. This isn't the first time I dreamed something that came true. The first time I remember this happening was way back in about 1988. I have learned how to understand my intuitive "knowledge" over the years. Sometimes information comes to me in a dream, other times, it just comes to me. You have to be "OPEN" not only to receive these messages but to pick up on them. Some people say: "I just had deja vue". I think this is the same thing, only they didn't GET the message the first time, they only picked up on it after the fact. That is why is seems familiar. “Intuition is the highest form of intelligence, transcending all individual abilities and skills” ― Sylvia Clare “The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift. We will not solve the problems of the world from the same level of thinking we were at when we created them. More than anything else, this new century demands new thinking: We must change our materially based analyses of the world around us to include broader, more multidimensional perspectives.” ― Albert Einstein

IN MY BUBBLE

While meditating, I always go to my grandparents garden. I hover there in the cool night air, surrounded in a soft bubble, gently bobbing up & down. I hover in the protective bubble so I won’t be bothered by mosquitoes or spiders BUT I can still hear the crickets & whippoorwills. I hover there looking up at the stars and watching the flicker of the lightening bugs. Their house is in the woods out in the country. The garden is directly behind the house so, I feel their protection. It has been 20 years since those times when I could actually be in that garden but I always want to bring that memory back. Even though I have my own garden now, I still go there to visit, for comfort to begin my meditation. Then once my mind is set in that “zone”, I can travel to other places, even into outer space if I choose. Looking back at the earth gives me such a peaceful feeling to know we actually have such a beautiful place to call home. But, mostly, I never have to travel far, for most of my pleasure comes from being at home with my husband and children around me. I can always watch them in my bubble where I am at the controls. I can turn the volume off or filter out what I don’t want. It’s my own private world, there in my bubble.

FUZZY BEANS

My garden is up and running and has been producing for several weeks. This past weekend, I picked my first green beans. They had a fine fuzzy texture on the outside and remained after cooking. I find that a little strange so next year I will choose a differnt variety. Don't get me wrong...we ate the tar out of them and still have left-overs. I just prefer my beans to have a smoother texture on the outside. They look great, are growing fast and have hardly any bugs on them. My meditative process for this will be to tell myself the fuzz is what keeps the bugs away and therefore the reason why I have so many to pick. I am blessed to have food straight from the garden to the table. It has been hard work but very fullfilling.
