New Rules for Living
Rule 2
Don't scare yourself: Stop terrorizing yourself with your thoughts. It's a dreadful way to live. Find a mental image that gives you pleasure and immediately switch your scary thought to a pleasant thought.
I have written in the past about my worry box. Constant worry moving in and out of the box. But I guess I do have scary thoughts too.
Globally I get scared where politcially this country is heading. With all the violence happening I am scared something really bad will happen. The militia people, white nazi wierdos and the religeous right wing extremists all the while you have republicans spewing hatred and stirring them up into a frenzy. It is bound to bring on something horrific. Here in the Northwest we have all three of those groups, especially across the border in northern Idaho, only a few miles away.
Then there are the scary things that have been haunting me for a long time. War, nuclear meltdowns and fire. I am terrified of fire.
So now I must define my pleasant thoughts. Ireland, of course. South Whitely where I keep all my yesterdays and dreams of being a lottery winner.

Hello there. That picture is quite stunning. Hope all is well with you.
I worry about where people are heading, too. It's like the human race has it's head up our proverbial wa-zoos.
I just don't get it; why does evertything have to devide us?
And don't even get me started on La Palin! Just when we thought she'd fade not so gracefully away, she brokers a TV gig; as well as a spot on FAUX "news"!
Talk about a mad, mad world!
I dream of buying this little farm back home, and having a nice salsa garden; and a couple of buff geese, some chickens and maybe think about getting another big dog. I have another grandchild on the way, and I'm ready to go home.
That's where I go when I want to escape my ping-pong mind.
Oops! I just broke your first rule by griping about Ms. Palin.
Sorry! ;)
