Beeautimous Brrrrr its Monday my friends. It is cold here and I am sure thats not news for many of you. I just pray you are safe and warm and are starting this new day and new week with joy. I was able to see the street kids last night and they were pretty warm. Since the doors have to stay open a bit there is always cold air but they are not freezing. I have sent a few emails this morning trying to get some more socks, gloves and heavy shirts so we will see what pans out there. I am sending you all lots of love and peace. This Is What I Know For Sure Today: Complaining about things is as helpful as worrying. Basically complaining is useless. I dont quite understand why a person would use their energy to complain when they could use the same energy to change some aspect of what they are complaining about. No...we cannot change people or their behavior...but we can change the way we respond to it. If someone is out of control and headed down a path of hopelessness we cant change that for them. We can however stop trying to make them different and that will lift a load of stress off our shoulders. I can almost hear the gears turning in your heads....what if its my child-spouse-mother-etc. Well, we are all people and when I initially tried to assist one of my close relatives from crashing and burning all I got was a headaches and high blood pressure. I have not given up hope for them, but I keep my distance. I usually dont answer the phone if they call and if I do my answer to anything is....no or I hear your addiction talking and I am not listening. Click. It sounds harsh but I have given all I can give to them. They are not going to change until they are ready if ever. So why sit here and complain about them? I dont. I am not entangled in their chaos and drama. I am living and enjoying my life. I love them and care about them but there is nothing I can do to fix them. I once worked under a doctor who told us not to come to him with a problem unless we had a workable remedy. That was some of the best guidance for life I ever received. So lets all pay attention this week to what we may be complaining about. Write it down if you like. At the end of the week look at your list and see if you could have changed or fixed anything you complained about. And if you could...what did you do that worked? I am smiling right now because last night I heard some folks at the gas station complaining about the cold. Right...like lets just warm things up. :-) Hang in there and spend your time joyfully....we only have a limited amount. I love you all and I am sending you warm, pink huggz.
