Headshake of the day.

Think if a goal you have.

What is that goal going to give you?
And what is that (the answer from above) going to give you?
Keep repeating the second question until it becomes difficult to answer.

Chances are, you are left with a feeling. That goal breaks down to feeling a certain way. Loved. Proud. Sense of accomplishment. Feeling capable. Feeling in control. Needed or wanted. Admired. Appreciated. Security.
Or simply feeling happy.

But, you knew that didn't you.
Where do emotions.. these feelings come from. Are they simply electrical signals interpreted by the brain? If so, we are determining, by choice, the things that will trigger the feelings we want. What is stopping us from short cutting that process and feeling those feelings now?

Want to be happy?
Feel Happy.

Yes, it really can be that easy.

Ch-Cha-Cha-Changing...

Few house keeping changes. Hope you like the new look.

Today was an odd day, to be sure.
Couldn't wait for it to be over. Unfortunately, time is a cruel, malicious bitch. The good times fly, and the drudgery and pain linger. Distracted and befuddled, I continue. The idiot box provided a brief distraction as did a nice strap torture session. (That there folks, is about as funny as I can muster ATM)

If you are going through hell, keep going. -Winston Churchill

As a senior citizen was driving down the freeway, his cell phone rang.

Answering, he heard his wife's voice urgently warning him, "Herman, I just heard on the news that there''s a car going the wrong way on Route 280. Please be careful!"

"It's not just one car," said Herman, "It's hundreds of them!"


Fun:
Going to party an mirroring someone long enough to pace them to 'thinking' they have a serious itch on their nose.
(ok, ok, ok. So I wasn't all the creative. Still was fun)

Bennu Too

Funny thing about the Bennu, it's re-emergence tends to take the same form.

That's what we call a cycle.
So.. instead of being the bird.. let's roast that little bastard.
But slowly, so it doesn't turn to ash.

Heading out to the grill.
Check on you cat's later.
