I find it interesting that so many people endeavor to be positive, happy and upbeat, even when they're not really feeling it. (I certainly do this, anyway.) I've never heard of Thomas Moore -- maybe I should check him out?Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-49747143670468569252010-02-23T16:09:13.982-05:002010-02-23T16:09:13.982-05:00Love that title, very apt!

I doubt that there was a better one written. When you see someone who totally follows that philosophy you see a person who is totally happy. And the phrase, "Come what may, will come." I think these are ways to tell us to accept what happens in life and make the best of it that we can because we cannot change it. Once we accept it then we are usually happier about it.<br /><br />The snow melting is giving a glimpse of the coming spring and it is oh so beautiful. Plant a garden even if it is just in some pots, it is amazing watching nature grow and all the creatures will love you for it.<br /><br />Spring is in the air, oh yeah!!!<br /><br />God bless.Mrsupolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01563854387767106508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-24921644366840325802010-02-23T13:59:22.845-05:002010-02-23T13:59:22.845-05:00To you, in the bottom photograph, that snow is mel...To you, in the bottom photograph, that snow is melting but to me, it still looks like an awful lot.<br /><br />I mostly agree with Merle Sneed's comment except that I think we spend way to much time chasing happiness and not enough time just "being" happy.

If it is good, just, honest and uplifts humankind, then believe. I love that!! After reading that, my soul was nodding yes, yes, yes!! <br /><br />Humans are complex beings. People tend to shy away from their dark qualities, but we should embrace and accept them as well as our light ones. Duality. We are all both good/evil, dark/light, intelligent/ignorant, honest/liar. Both qualities serve a purpose in our time of need. <br />One of my fave authors, Debbie Ford, writes about this in her book "Why Good People Do Bad Things." An excellent read. Cheers Reya!!<br /><br />P.S. I, too, am interested in Reiki. It's a facinating science/art. Most people don't understand that humans are pure energy.bobbybegood1https://www.blogger.com/profile/01471708916636552589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-51277723494822285492010-02-23T10:49:15.767-05:002010-02-23T10:49:15.767-05:00Angela, how nice that we met, next to a body of wa...Angela, how nice that we met, next to a body of water. I wish I could remember, but I slept hard and did not remember my dreams this morning.<br /><br />Merle you are the guy who said, "Life will come to you, if you let it." Words of absolute wisdom, just like today's comment. I salute you.<br /><br />Anytime anyone tells me I don't have to conform to mainstream culture, I inadvertently sigh with relief. Because I am so NOT mainstream. Yes, Polly, it's a radical gift.
