You’ll get along! You’re doing okay. No one thinks the worse of you! And it’s not up to you what they’re thinking, anyway. They think they know you, but they just know a feather, not the bird. *… itching, you can feel it, the next sentence just has to end in ‘turd!!’ … * Well, those fall from the sky, too. I’ve written enough turds to know life is special, and you’re the reason! You captivate so many with your glow! I can tell what shines from what smears the windshield! There has to be some dirt to know a diamond when you see one.  …

That light and dark thing! That day and night! That summer/winter. You know, that whole yin and yang. Two sides thinking they’re right. Rarely two sides thinking they’re wrong. But that might be refreshing! That could at least start a dialogue of ideas. It’s all too complicated to figure out sometimes. To each their own. As long as they’re not hurting anyone. But you can hurt someone and not even know it, as Dylan would say. What’s good for one person is terrible for another. …

But, why?? Why is it so?? Maybe it’s all about the thoughts we’re thinking. Give someone else your life exactly as it is, and if a positivist, they’d probably get moving with it knowing exactly what to do! Sussing out what needs work! But also spotting the unique and good things about you, too! Things nobody else has! And that new-car feeling of, “I can’t wait to get this out for a test drive!” they’re thinking!! About you!! You may feel you’ve been around forever, but you’re new to somebody! The person you meet today. Or tomorrow. Don’t call off the show before it’s finished. Sometimes the best games take place in the final minutes! That’s where all the action is that people remember! You can’t judge it by the 2nd or 3rd quarter. So, hang in there! I know it’s hard! People love to kick you when you’re down, you ever notice? Someone will reach down to give you a hug. You’ll know who your real friends are! Just one is good enough! Certainly better than ten who don’t have the best intentions at heart. “Only surround yourself with people who lift you higher,” as Oprah would say. She’s so right! There’s unconditional love everywhere. Maybe in an animal you adore. Sometimes animals are ornery! But you’re patient and melt them down with your love. The best things happen when you’re not thinking. About intentions, or outcomes, or ulterior motives. …

Your mind will entertain anything you place in there. And create realities that aren’t real at all! And now imagine sliding over, and someone else gets behind the wheel of your car. And they see it totally differently. It even seems to move differently under their guidance. Kinda like if another were to take over your mind. They’d cast out a hundred thoughts that enter, one by one. Batting them away like dust! Those thoughts don’t serve you. Certainly not now! You’re phenomenal. It’s time you always think that way. You’ve grown older. You’re more patient. And you never go out of your way to hurt someone. Because you have empathy. And compassion. And you don’t need to make yourself feel better by putting someone down. You’re off the merry-go-round. And that’s okay! Rumor is, it’s only going in circles, it never gets you anywhere. But if you’re caught up in the lights and carousel horses made of porcelain and clay, you’d swear you’re going somewhere! Somewhere good! But go long enough in circles you’re only going to end up nauseated. …

You’re so lucky you’ve gotten this far! Blessed, some might say. To have gone through so much to get to the rich rewards. The wisdom that comes, but doesn’t show itself with words. It’s in the kindness you share with another that may forever go unmentioned, but remembered in that person. When you were the one person who said something good about them that day. It could almost make you cry. Perhaps you were crying today. …

You’re seasoned. A little less quick to anger. Most times when you feel it come up, you think, “aw, to heck with it. There’s nothing to get riled about.” If anything, you think, “Somebody found a button.” And you go in and question that thing inside you that’s sensitive. And you make peace with it. One way or another. So the next time it doesn’t bother you so much. You’ve come so far, you, feeling like your life is over. You’re just getting to the rewards part. It doesn’t seem to have much to do with fame or fortune. It’s about the person who came out of the shell that’s broken open! How far you’ve arrived from that one you were so long ago. And a quiet wisdom that goes along, that shows itself when a loving word from you had been the only thing missing in someone else’s life. …

Wisdom never needs books to go along with it. It’s something quieter that runs a bit deeper than words. You, who feels your life is over. In truth, it’s just beginning. Because this you hasn’t been around for all that long. It’s the you that’s come out of years of suffering and learning. What a shame to waste it now. 

The best is just beginning, it’s true! You don’t have to do a thing today. Or even tomorrow if you don’t want to. Just know you’re loved by something greater. Who is very proud of you. When you feel forgotten, just look over your shoulder. And look at all that you’ve left behind you. To get to where you are. Inside you, there’s a lion made of love. You’ve turned out wonderfully! For someone you are an angel sent from above. ❤️  

just a quick Thursday ramble! You’re sensational!! You’re so much more interesting because of all you have gone through. And life is just beginning! You’re always new to somebody! That someone who meets you! And something in them will feel the love in your heart, even if unconsciously. You’re helping people when you don’t even know it. That’s a life well spent to be certain.  💜  

Happy spring!!  A whole new season!! ☀️🍀🙂
