Garden Party

I went to a garden party to reminisce with my old friends

A chance to share old memories and play our songs again

When I got to the garden party, they all knew my name

No one recognized me, I didn’t look the same

 

But it’s all right now, I learned my lesson well

You see, ya can’t please everyone, so ya got to please yourself – Ricky Nelson

 

You can’t please everyone and you can’t change them either.  You’ve got to please yourself, but in pleasing yourself you need to be mindful of your responsibilities to your family, friends, coworkers, nature, and the environment. Pleasing yourself is not permission for selfishness, but is a state of mind for how to live, not seeking approval for your life choices.  We’re on different paths, we have different abilities, but we can get to the same place from these different paths if we choose to. It doesn’t matter which way we get there, or even where we go. It does matter however, who we are, on that journey.

We are in our hearts who we really are. So when you go to that Garden Party, be kind to yourself, be kind to others, just go an be yourself.

Just a thought…

Make Love, Where There is None

To make love… where there was none…  ♥ Alchemy (Lyric) – Above and Beyond
To bring about change for love, growth, health, self improvement or whatever…we all want a little bit of magic or that special chemical reaction that instantly gives us what we want. Believing that you can have it is the magic, but you have to take action.  Belief without action is really just wishful thinking.
You see people that have what you want, but before they had it – they didn’t.
If you want more Love in your life, then love another, and love all people.  If you want health and fitness, then start eating whole grains, vegetable, and start exercising.  It’s not really rocket science, we all start out beginners, so just start!  Start whatever it is that you want to change.  Just make the first move – take that first step towards whatever direction that you want. Your belief will enable you to keep taking those steps. So, no matter how small it is, just take it, then take another and another.  Eventually you’ll get the change you want.
Just a thought…
Love, Goldi

Happy Thoughts All Day Long

So the last few days I’ve been challenged, affected in a way that my mind couldn’t perceive, but was felt by my body.  As I sat here today writing literally for four hours I was unable to come up with anything to post.  My husband called, still at work and on his 13 plus hours there, not surprisingly – he sounded tired.  He called to say that he had another good hour or so to go, and I not wanting to delay him any longer,  hesitantly said…, I’ve been having trouble writing my blog today.  Do you have any words of wisdom?  He said, hmmm lets see, I’ve been having Happy Thoughts All Day Long, what were they… I hope that helps. I said yes, yes it did!  I instantly became clear that IS what I wanted to write about.   Not so much about the happy thoughts, even though you know that I believe in them. I became clear from his focus, and positive presence, felt even from a distance.  He took the time to answer my question happily, and when he said the words Happy Thoughts All Day Long his voice changed and he sounded better himself. I perked up hearing him perk up.

So remembering now, that helping ourselves also means reaching out once in a while, and asking for help. Combined with the knowledge that we need to continue to surrounding ourselves with good people, and place ourselves in a good environments. It will continue to help us long after we’ve forgotten…

Wishing you today, tonight, this weekend, and really forever…the total encompassing of good people and places and Lot’s of Happy Thoughts!

Love, Goldi
