Living Life Not Dreading It :)

August 11, 2011 I forgot to post this   sorry !

Good-day to you, thank you for stopping by. We have so much to talk about, I’ll start.  Seems like people just want to complain, well I will listen and I will be a sounding board for those in need. My main goal is to get people to open up. There are  too many people walking around with a lot bothering them with no where to turn. Let us reach out to them and listen. I have no real advice except for knowledge of the things that I have been through. Don’t leave yet. Please take a few minutes out of your day to read on. After all you where just stumbling along anyway, might as well read for awhile.
I have been wondering why some people talk down, or say bad things about people they say they love. Makes no sense to say you love someone then tell them to get lost.  Tell them you love them more than anything, then tell others what an ass they are. Yes, to even call them worst names than that. Hurtful names that your mother would wash your mouth out with soap for using. The words your father would kick you in the rear for. Yet, every single day I hear over and over someone cussing out a love one, what’s up with that? Do you have any ideas why people do this? I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. Wait, I did not mean to imply that you are like that. No, please I don’t know you, nor am I judging you. I mean that if you listen to just the people within your own social circle you must have heard at some point someone cursing about someone they love but saying nasty things about them.  Then after the proverbial shit hits the fan, they take it back and say they are sorry. REALLY? First off I question if they meant to say it. After all if you love them then you should praise them. Look up LOVE, no where is there any bad, hurtful names to describe LOVE. Yet, there are all kinds of disgusting names that you could use to insult someone you truly hated. Love is not hate. Hate hurts and hurts and hurts. Love makes you feel good.
Let’s stop here and take time to contemplate this for awhile. Feel right at home to let me know what your thoughts on this are. Please let me know if you think I’m wrong, this is a good place to start. Im going for a walk and will be back to continue this blog. Hopefully to engage you in a blog that more will want to get in on. Please feel free to speak your mind, I will listen to you all, no one will be ignored.  Later Fartsworth.

Back from my walk

Good day to you! Well I went for my walk to listen to the weather change. This always works for me when I feel out of place. When I can't make heads or tails on what is going on I take a walk. I have been doing this for years. My father got me doing this when I was a lot younger. Things have a habit of mounting up and they start to get confusing. When I say "listen to the weather change", I'm talking about getting quiet with my thoughts. Let things go, just long enough to recharge my batteries. Everyone knows that you can reason better with a clear mind. Taking time out, even for just a few minuets, is all I need to get back into the current picture. Life is what WE make it, Not someone else. If someone controls your life that much you need to reflect on whether it helps or hurts. We make decisions based on the facts available to us at the present time. If there is not enough info we research to help make the best decision. Look at were you get your info. Does the person, or persons, giving you the answers to your situation have a good handle on their own life? I don't mean have full control of their life, yet more than enough to say that they know what their talking about.
     After many years I have come to understand that if I search within I can find the answer to my situation. That is because I have witnessed and have been giving the answer over time. I may have heard of a particular situation in passing. I might have seen something that triggers a response to a question that has come up. This is called learning from past mistakes, you can also call it 'Wisdom". Yeah we have all heard  of this thing called wisdom. From the moment we are born we start to develop wisdom as we interact with our surroundings. Everything has a reason for happening. We are capable of gathering all of the knowledge we need to survive. Our parents, grandparents, siblings, all of our relatives, indeed everyone we have contact with  helps us with the gathering of this wisdom. We learn in school, and at home how to interact with others. This interaction is where we start to gather up as much info as we can. Over time this develops into wisdom. 
      Take time out to listen to the weather change and you will find your wisdom. We all have it. It is a way of life. It is what happens while we are going about our busy days without us even realizing it. Just as a child would do, Stop, Look, and Listen, you will find the answer. I will let you ponder that for awhile. I look foreword to hearing if you find this an interesting point of view. Until later, keep in touch with the weather   Fartsworth was here with you.

Looking Past The Bad Days

Good Day to you all, I will smile for my blessings. My life has been disrupted cause my buddy has been gone this week. I have missed getting up and seeing his big smile in the morning. He seems to always smile and say good morning while eating his breakfast. I'll say this, it is one of those kind of smiles that make you feel warm inside, makes you happy, and is a great way to start your day. He is one happy little buddy, full of love, and a curiosity of all things around him. He makes me slow down to see the many exciting things all around us. With each and every new thing I show him, it is almost like going back to school. Only this time I am the teacher, OR am I?  Do I miss him? You bet, I do! He has made me stop and notice the little things that I would just overlook. I'll  watch him as he is intensely involved in trying to mimic something I just did. I can tell by the look on his face that he knows how to do it, and darn if he does it in no time at all. Then comes the BIG smile, as he is so happy to show me that he did it. Then it dons on me that again he has shown me that we all need to just slow down and see what our world really is. Yes kids are beautiful, and so is life if we look beyond the bad things. I don't think we will ever get rid of the bad things. I DO think that we can look beyond them and enjoy life more. That is the life we all want, yet some how we over look. We tend to complain more with each passing day. Oh the weather sucks, or my boss is being a jerk, the kids are driving me nuts. I mean come on, is it really that bad? Yes we do have bad moments, but not bad days. You have at least one moment in the day that you should be happy. That moment is when you wake up and you are, or should be, aware that you have a new day to make your life better than it was yesterday. That should put a smile on your face, and make you glad that you are alive. You have another chance to be happy, and enjoy yourself. It is true, life is what we make it. Make your world exciting, wonderful , and a happy place to be. You should no longer dread having to wake to what you think will be a bad day, just that thought starts your day off wrong. You will only continue that feeling if you do not take a moment to say to yourself, Hey Quit it, I'm going to smile and enjoy this day. Enjoy it like it is your last one, heaven forbid it should be. Do you really want to spend your last day on earth in a bad mood? Do you really not want to enjoy all that is good around you? What of those happy moments of yesterday? Even if it was only one, would you not want to enjoy even just that one? I know that I would, and will, for I want to be happy, even if it is just for that moment, if it is to be my last day. At least people would be able to say that I was happy to the end. That is what I want, and if you are true to yourself you want it too. I will let you ponder that for awhile. I am going for a walk in the sun and listen as the weather changes. Life goes on and so do I. There are many things for me to enjoy, and I will, while I hope and pray that you do the same.  Smile I will Be right back---- ENJOYYYyyyyyyyyyy
