Keep it Light...Enjoy Yourself Today (heck do it everyday)

So I got back-blogged again...I'm not sure if it's because I got feedback that someone was proud that I was actually keeping up with the blogging, so my unconscious did some self sabotage.  Excuse my self judgement spouting but it's a possibility.  The other one is that I didn't have so much to say on a topic and sometimes silence is an acceptable response.  I think silence is a more effective tool for us then any of us use.

So I have 3 love fortunes, to catch up on here as I want to list them all.  If my beloveds took the time to come up with 365 of these...the least I can do is acknowledge each of them.  So there was "I love the energy you bring"...as a person who is all about energy as the common denominator to the our physical, emotion, mental and spiritual health, this is a nice affirmation; however, the intention is the energy I bring to interactions.  And I have to admit inside sometimes I'm not feeling very inspired and I have the woe is me moments.  However, I can remember how it feels to be inspired and hopeful, so I can fake it until I make it.  And I do that, not to be ingenuous or pretend to be something I'm not...I do it because eventually it is how I feel (it's a bit infectious, if I do say so myself).  I also don't believe that misery loves company.  Well maybe it does love company, but I don't think that jumping on the misery bandwagon is helpful.  The more that jump onto that boat is like adding lead and then we sink and we never transform.  So instead, if I bring a sense of play and optimism, I lighten up and then can come up with some creative solutioning to the challenges of the day or the week or the....(you get the picture).   As you know I like to equate things with songs, my first instict was to choose Cyndi Lauper's Girl's Just Want to Have Fun but I have another one for you.

Next love fortune is...drum roll please....I love how others are smiling around you.  So I don't know if I've noticed this, so I'll just trust them on this.   The question to ponder is are they smiling because I am there (which my ego would like to believe) or is that I gravitate to smiling people (which would also be true).  Not that I'm not willing to be there for a frowning friend in need (I'm pretty devoted to my friends as I don't believe in being a fair weather only friend either); however, to stay positive, I need to feed that and hence I may gravitate to the smilers...so perhaps it's a little of both...after all life is an AND not an OR.

And yesterdays love fortune that got me to saying, get your ass in gear Lulu, is I Love How Your Understanding.  And you know the humor in this is I don't have a fucking clue.  So what appears to be understanding from a non-judemental place is that I don't understand people and there motives.  I also know that not everyone has the same integrity rule book I do (not that mine is the highest on the pious list) and I also don't know every little life experience that they have had that would influence who they are, so how can I not be receptive and just take action from what they present than label people as bad and wrong and stay pissed at them for going against my rule book.   I can't judge until I've walked in someone elses shoes and I barely fit in my own  Life happens and it's what we do with it, not what we judge others as...plus you know I prefer to enjoy myself so if I'm not open to the fact that someone may act differently that I would like, I'm going to add more lead and sink like the titanic.
