Dearest Tigger Have you seen George Carlin's latest? He basically says the way the country is run and if you do yourself in you are being brainwashed by the negative! I have had a bunch of junk in my life - mother died, husband died, father died, Lost the house and truck, became homeless, separated from my son cause he was staying with friends during that time period, lost the apartment, moved to TENN. into a house and reunited the family, then have had congestive heart failure, blood clots, and serious skin cancer. So let us say life has dealt me thanks to what some say my own decisions and choices and what I had drawn to me a rough road. And as I sit here I am still grateful for what I do have. My life has turned around in some respect as I work to clean up my own act. Then I would look at the illness as a cleanse as I release all the things that interfere with my accepting myself as spirit first and human second. We cannot control those in control of the USA, neighbors, friends, or family. All we can really control is ourselves and our own responses. I look at the trees and the flowers, the wildlife, forests,mountains, lakes, rivers, streams and creeks and see what has been provided us by the Creator. I sit and meditate and say thank you. I found that being grateful for all things that effect me on a personal basis, and paying attention to what I can do to serve my fellow man, allows me to be not afraid of what I have no control over anyway. My relationship with Creator allows me to be close to who I really am - a wonderful loving child of the Creator. As I work on cleaning out old tapes I am a wonderful loving child of the Creator who is not afraid of war, terrorist or the gang down the street. What I have noticed when I have not worked on myself I did get very afraid. And I know Creator has power over all things good and bad. I wish you luck be not afraid see the beauty within yourself!
