I invite the qualities of good sleep. I welcome peace into my home. I invite light into my heart. Love, happiness, and comfort abide in my soul. My spirit is content and my mind is still. I become tranquil, relaxed. With gratitude, I welcome a good night’s sleep. I'm always flowing reiki and lighting spell candles to keep my home peaceful, cleansed, and protected. Then I log on to TMB. *sigh* You always make me smile, redback. You are a wonderful example of kindness and decency. Love your humor! Keep up the posts.

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive about what could go right.
I took that attitude a few months ago just before making a heavy investment in a stock..... It fell $40 a share the next day..... Sometimes being afraid of what could go wrong is better than being positive, simply by preventing you from doing something incredibly stupid.. Now if you look-up 'stupid' in the dictionary, instead of a definition, you'll see my picture there Been there, done that in 1987. Total madness. Today's market is much more sane. Lots of interesting mining stock that's cheap and worth a shot at the mo.

Because know I'm as "dumb as the 'box of rocks'" I would be dealing with.

With gratitude, I welcome a good night’s sleep. good sleep doesn't come easy once you know that Eternity already knows the beginning and the end of your life because it's all history in Eternity's eyes. I should imagine that such a thought would make sleep all the better! Why not write in Eternity's History Book : "And with contentment, he/she slept well"? After all, the chance to author the past only happens once!

“I DID THE BEST I COULD TODAY.”
No one can do everything perfectly; otherwise, you wouldn’t be Human. Be proud of what you accomplished during your day, and know that you tried your hardest and put forth your best effort. Maybe others didn’t acknowledge your hard work, but at the end of the day, only your opinion of yourself matters anyway.

To never make a mistake, and to always act in a morally sound manner. Would they not be a Christ? You're right redneck- should we not then accept our frailty - our tendency for error - our flaws and vices - as assurance that we are all humans, and none is above another? Then can we accept our strength, our resiliency, our virtues and credits as assurance that none is below another?

“I AM WORTHY OF LOVE AND ABUNDANCE.”
Remind yourself that as a child of the Universe, you deserve a fulfilling life overflowing with love and happiness. Even if the happenings of your day didn’t reflect this reality, say this mantra aloud or to yourself before bed each night, and you will slowly start to see more abundance flow into your life.

“I DON’T NEED TO COMPARE MYSELF TO OTHERS; I’M ON MY OWN JOURNEY!”
Resist the temptation to compare your own path to other’s personal voyages; you will likely only feel jealous or inferior as a result. Remember that you can’t possibly measure your own worth by someone else’s accomplishments or status, because you belong in your own category. The universe brought you here for a reason, and that reason may look completely different than someone else’s.

Wayne Dyer once said “Change The Way You Look At Things And The Things You Look At Change”. He was so right. When you change the way you see the world, when your intentions are positive and powerful, when you search only for the good, then you life transforms into the amazing adventure it was designed to be.

“I RELEASE EVERYTHING THAT NO LONGER SERVES ME.”
As you drift off to sleep, gently expel negative thoughts from your mind that only bring you down; doing this over and over again each night will set the stage for a better sleep and a more positive outlook as you wake up in the morning.

You sure you're not pagan, redback? I say that every night and every new moon. The happy naked pagan dance under the full moon brings in all things wonderful and nourishing.

Don't think I am pagan. It was a very hot night last night and also a full moon. So I just laid on the bed sky-clad, with the big moon shining on me through the window. It would have made a beautiful picture.
Did have a delightful dream and at one stage, I was dancing with you Annan. So maybe you are starting to rub off on me.

One night the full moon was in the perfect position and was shining through my skylight. A magical night. Skyclad is the only way to sleep. I never understood getting undressed and dressed again to go to bed. Makes no sense. Thank you for the dance. <3

Thanks Speak. We do need some light relief instead of the vitriol that takes place on some threads. I find it abhorrent and try to escape from it.

One way to escape it my friend is don't converse with it in any shape or form.

And after a bit of rain here during the day, it fined up, and the tide was good so I and the dog went down into the water getting Paua (our Native Blackfoot Abalone), Crabs and a couple of Crayfish. There is something unique about being among the Stingrays feeding on the Baby Mussel beds, and then watching the Moon come up. So on Saturday night for dinner it is Paella with friends, and Smoked Crayfish, then Creamed Paua in the Shell for Starters!

I collected some shellfish along that coast back about 1972 I think it was and got the most awful guts ache. I found out later there was sewege coming into the wee river there. Hopefully they have changed all that now. I.m a bit morte careful where I collect now.

“I AM THE MASTER OF MY REALITY.”
We can easily forget that we are the conductors of our own lives – we direct the flow of energy in our lives based on our own thoughts.

Annan I am not sure about that. I don't like labels being put on People and if I had to wear one I would like it to be Old Bastard. Have been one of those for almost 50 years, fully paid up member, badge to prove it.
I had to fill out a form today where I had to state religion. As normal I put Christian, the same as I have been doing for almost 82 years. As a 2x2 it was always Undenominational Christian, but since leaving, I leave out the Undenominational bit. If I had to prefix it, would be Independent Christian. Now some 2x2's on TMB tell me I am not entitled to call myself Christian. However I believe in Christ, who was a good man, trying to get people to be more Humanistic toward each other. That has to be a good thing, an attitude that he learnt from the Buddhists. I don't go along with all that has been added by the Church to suit their story and turn it into a business.
My God is Nature, I am a Child of the Universe, the greatest thing that ever happens. As an Agnostic I do not know whether some supreme power controls the whole marvellous process, or not. But I am not alone because I am not sure if anybody knows, they only think they do.
I am a free thinker, look for good, not bad. The best way to live is being appreciative, grateful and most importantly happy. Negative thoughts can easily get in the way of a joyful life and there’s many ways to think positively. I very seldom watch the news now, too much that only depresses you. Much better to spend the time in the Garden, or talking to the Dogs or Chooks. The vitriol spewed out on TMB is unwarranted, we would all be better off without that.
So if you can sort that all out and put me in a slot, so be it. I would much prefer Old Bastard with respect.
Stand by now for the attack.

The problem is others have different definitions than I do and from each other. I love you posts, your attitude, and your voice of reason. Yours is a mindset I aspire to. Thank you for being you.
