"I can’t help but wonder what might have happened if George Bailey from it's a Wonderful Life, opened up to someone about how he felt. All the pent up anger and resentment of putting your dreams on the back shelf for the good of others around you... But why would he talk to anyone about it? He was a man. And back then, they weren’t supposed to feel things. Instead, the pent up anger and resentment finally explode similar to a watermelon when it’s finally reached its limit with the last rubber band stretched to its limits...just like so many of us thinking of leaping off life's bridges, stretched to our limits." #gladitude #multiverse #spideysense #kindredspirits #ASKmaster

Our new math doesn't add up... The hardest arithmetic to master is that which enables us to count our blessings in a way that they wind up multiplied by four factors every day... What did we learn=Blessed What did we earn=Blessed What did we get to add to the world=Blessed Why not dare and dream for somewhere amazing tomorrow=Blessed And blessed squared, cubed, quintuplicated, whatever, blessed everyday, in 4 ways, is way blessed...

Oh, and like you dont EVER think that? People who say they don’t care what people think are usually desperate to have people think they don’t care what people think.”... Think about that...

But our motives to Fight must be purely understood, by checking in with ourselves quickly before we check out from any hope of rising above it, above the mud, and answering, to ourselves...

Can You Smell it? Amongst all that could numb your senses or distract your distinct tastes...
In our modern post-panic over Covid world, sometimes the most reassuring thing you can do, is just take a deep inhaling breath to be sure you can still smell what you've always been able to smell (& taste) before.
So, Yeah, Manure, Heffer-Hash, Feces-Fertilizer, or basically, "Bull-Spit" (aka, B.S.), well, its really great to be able to smell and even taste, to be sure we can still detect it when it's directed our way.
So, pull down our Covid-Masks, and sniff a whiff of something stiff, strong and that stinks a long, long, long, long time, JUST to be sure you still can... because you can't outrun or outlast real stench.

Well, though Distress is nothing to laugh at, unless of course, laughter helps you deal with it, but the Power of Puns we referenced in last weeks episode, just may be the secret weapon to effectively dealing with stress when it seems like a really big deal...

If You saw Top Gun way back in the 1980's, You don't know "the half of it"... Now, it's Top-PUN - 1 1/2... the chance to appreciate all the cheesiness of the 80's combined with the greatness of cheesy pun's, and at the same time, learn why Adele followed the Chicken when it crossed the road.
But seriously, well... there's not much that's all too serious about this episode... WOW, guess it really DOES sum up the 1980's and Top Gun and, well, maybe... just maybe... that appreciating something that has more than one way to look at it, makes us all the right kind of "Maverick".

We need a Guilt-Free version of Gratitude ! Somebody, anybody, telling me I "should" be more grateful, usually leaves me with just a "head-nod" and some "head-knowledge", but not really experiencing gratitude... and I'm NOT Happy about that... Are You?

Since the Dawn of Mindful Men (& Women), Finding Purpose has been like a Mark on a Treasure Map; We search for it, sometimes, EVERYWHERE except where WE may have been the ones who buried it under All Our Own B.S.
Yet even today, experts, as they are often referred to, still get lost in the "More is Better" BLUNDER of How Much can We find out about You to help You find YOUR Purpose...
Are They Right? No... Probably not.
Are They Wrong? No... Not Entirely.
So, since #PURPOSE is a "Get-To', not an "I've GOT To!"... then... Maybe the Question should be a Two-Part-Problem to solve...?!?

I already know now, that IF I had another kid, especially a Daughter, I might as well go ahead and name her "Epiphany"... 'cuz she would bring me SO MANY Mental-Lightbulb-Moments... so many Epiphanies.
If it was a Boy, probably name him "A Hah!"... partly from the A-Hah's I would learn from him, and part from the "A-Hah" moments of catching him Red-handed, doing something White-knuckled that would leave me Blue in the face...
At least, I hope so.
