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.

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.
