Bright Outlook

Sometimes you wake up, and it just feels like you are going to have a good day.
~
Positive visualization is so important.  I continue to harbor the potentially perverse belief that everything happens for a reason, everything occurs for the greater and ultimate good, and that the normal state of being for human beings is a state of pure joy.
~
That philosophy tends to piss off people who perceive their lives as fraught with sadness and difficulties.   But if I made a list of all of the bad shit that has happened to me in this life, I'd probably start each day by crawling into a ball, sucking my thumb and rocking back and forth.
~
On the other hand, I can look at all of the bullshit that I have endured and can assign a very positive outcome that is a direct result of the adversity.
~
Sure I'm not Donald Trump, which was my goal in my thirties, but I've been exposed to a lot of wealthy people since then, and wouldn't trade my life for theirs for a second.   And there has been some toxic relationships, but without which, some of our greatest relationships wouldn't have materialized.
~
If you look at negative situations as the pathway to a greater alliance with your natural state of pure joy, then your outlook can really change.
~
Like I said, I have a feeling that today is going to be a really good day.

It was a great day 37 years ago and will be today.
Happy Anniversary to you and Joanne.

It's probably a good thing your goals changed from 30 years ago. That hair wouldn't look any better on you.
