Happiness is a choice!

I Can Do It, You Can Too

“I want a man, whose children are all out of the house, well, maybe one little girl, and who is all about me and my boys!” I said to my friends as we sat around and talked about dating again after failing at the prior marriage. We all had our preferences of men. I was sure of myself. I had made a list of what I wanted and needed. If they didn’t make the cut, they were out. I had no time to waste on men that didn’t pass the cut.  I was determined that if I was going to marry, he would match my list perfectly.

Garbage in Your life and In Your Brain

Can I smash this jug and squish it in tight and the next person will have to take it out? Garbage can be on acres of farmland, where the farmer just can’t let go of old equipment and it fills the field with remnants of days gone by. It can be in our mind, the rotten sentence that plays over and over in your mind from a thoughtless outraged family member or friend. It can be in our own little corner of our room or fill a building. How do we throw it away and get over it? Some never do. They die with the garbage in their head and on their land. If it is physical the next recipient may clean it up. If it is in our mind, it will rot for life and we will take it with us into the hereafter. What will you do with your garbage? I have made a living by taking people’s garbage and reusing, remaking, and reselling it. I have learned that it is a state of mind.
