Actually, it has been more like three nights of those days. I have a love-hate relation with this person who haunts me at night, steals my sleep and consequently my energies. This person befuddles my thinking and often confuses me to the extreme!

I often scream at her, or him or even IT, to go away and leave me alone! Do you think they listen to me and do as I ask? Of course not. Why would I ever not hear what I have to say or not believe that something important is in there hiding, waiting and expecting me to know exactly what it is all about. OF COURSE I KNOW!

Yea right. I don’t know nuttin’ about nuttin’. Well, at least not at the beginning of about 72 hours. It takes me those 72 hours to #1, figure out what is keeping me awake, #2 why is it keeping me awake, #3 Do I own IT. #4 should I and can I do anything about IT that will give me some peace, or should I just tell IT to go away and try to get back to sleep????????

You are a very rare human if you have not had one of these nights!

Truly, I do my best work after dark. So many issues do come to all of us in the dark, looking for resolution. There are not usually so many distractions, or noises then. The darkness often acts as a movie screen with the characters and circumstances more apparent, facts and reasons are more easily defined from a less personal viewpoint. We are able to detach more willingly. Solutions can come to us more freely without prejudice and good decisions can be achieved.

It is vital to feel what you feel and to try to understand the feelings and emotions of everyone involved. This way, a fair and kind conclusion can be reached.

It only takes a simple request to Spirit asked out loud (so that all the Universe can hear and help you) and the answer you need will come to you. Simply ask for Peace if that is all you can do.

Be grateful. Say thank you.

Hang in there. Some bodies Love you!

Websters Dictionary says that a mistake is to understand or perceive wrongly an idea, answer, or act that is wrong, in error or in blunder.

Well now, that statement certainly opens up a can of very squiggly worms!!

I think about the “mistakes” I have made in my life fairly often much to my chagrin. I make that statement today, knowing full well (after much experimentation) that no such thing exists.

We do not make mistakes. I repeat, we do not make mistakes!

Based on the knowledge we have at the time, we make a decision, perhaps a statement, only to discover later that we might have made a different choice and brought about a different and perhaps more desirable outcome.

This is one of the ways we gain the wisdom to make more informed decisions and have patience for ourselves and others. It is a little bit like putting your hand too close to a fire and getting burned. You only do it once.

There are a lot of one times in life.

I encourage you to give yourself a break and permission to make “mistakes”. The lesson’s outcome will stay with you for a very, very long time and make you a wiser, more tolerant person.

Harm no one, including yourself, if it is possible to do so. Be kind, beautiful One!

Living out your existence in a human form is defiantly not for the faint of heart or one who lives without courage on a daily basis. Being human is a really, really big deal. Somedays, it is like walking into a very dark room with your hands tied behind your back, blindfolded and your mouth taped shut so you are unable to scream.

At other times, the sun is shining so brightly that you need your sunglasses, suntan lotion and a beach! It is such a glorious day today that it is difficult to remember just how horrible your life was yesterday. Why bother remembering that anyway.

Are you getting my drift? It is all about the feeling. How is today, this very moment encouraging you to feel? What is the emotion entering your core, your chakra, your heart and all the Being that you are. This human that you are? This mass of energy and matter that you claim is yourself. (there is much more to tell on that particular subject, but that is for another day)

Have you ever really given thought to the idea that you get to choose? YOU DO get to choose every thought, energy, reaction or response to any given moment or experience in this human life you call your own. These are the decisions that you make during every single second of your time here on earth.

These decisions define who you are….every single one of them. Every action you become, tells the world and everyone around you who (and what) you are. You are one hundred percent the Creator. Just how is it that you want the world and all its inhabitants to know you??

Of course, you are not “perfect”. None of us are or ever will be. This lovely Earth is our gameboard and our playground. Our safe place to learn, grow and become all that we planned for.

AND YOU GET TO PLAY THE GAME HOWEVER YOU WISH TO!!

Just how you define a “good and kind person ” is up to you. Just remember that everyone else who is here with you is playing the same game that you are or close to it. We all are doing our best to “get it right” Also remember that each one of us is working with a different definition of those words. It is an important game rule to not be judge and jury.

Some are not interested in joining our game. That’s okay. They have their own game to play and the rules may not be the same. We are all on a similar journey to Home. It is just that some of the roads are different and the directional signs are in a different language. It is all perfect and just as it should be.

I am here because I desire to play My Game my way. My choices may not be the same as yours or they might match up. Either way, I will meet you again on the other side and we will have a drink and a laugh together to celebrate ourselves and our success at playing The Game.

Play with all your heart. Be kind.
