just a quikie

I want to let you all know all is well and I will post later. I have written many "blog" posts but have not published for you to read. I am in my state of introspection. Once I am out of my head I will let it spill out onto the pages of cyber space as a writer lets the ink drip onto paper. In the meantime may all be well in your worlds and may we all feel grateful for what we have and for the gifts in life. It is easy to focus on hardships when so much bad news is at hand. The real test of character is if one can accept the "bad" stuff and move forward with optimism and faith that all is in order. Our lives have great purpose whether or not we see this. What one will find in the challenging times is a choice. One can decide to focus on the negative and slowly melt into a deep depression OR one can accept the circumstances and see the miracles and gifts in the unexpected. This also means one must feel every emotion fully. This requires much reflective-quiet time with self. I always ask myself: " Self....What are you feeling and how can I assist in letting go of the attachment to feeling only happy-good thoughts? while at the same time truly feeling and releasing negative thoughts? ". The end of desire to make things perfect in our perception is a final goal.

The answer I give myself is to be honest, present, open, genuine and grateful. Then the seemingly bad stuff fades into the mist as if a wind came and blew away the fog of human suffering.

Too deep? O.K. I will write more later. I told you I have been in a state of introspection.
