It's November!

No shade, no shine, no butterflies,
no bees
No fruit, no flowers, no leaves,
no birds! -- No-vember!
—Thomas Hood (1799-1845)

learning not to worry

One of the best things I've read all week...

"...one of the worst features about worrying is that it destroys our ability to concentrate. When we worry, our minds jump here and there and everywhere, and we lose all power of decision. However, when we force ourselves to face the worst and accept it mentally, we then eliminate all these vague imagininings and put ourselves in a position in which we are able to concentrate on our problem."

From How to Stop Worrying and Start Living by Dale Carnegie

Stress is a cause of disease and illness

We've got a thousand different diagnoses and diseases out there. They're just the weak link. They're all the result of one thing: stress. If you put enough stress on the chain and you put enough stress on the system, then one of the links breaks.

a car driving in the night

Think of a car driving through the night. The headlights only go a hundred to two hundred feet forward, and you can make it all the way from California to New York driving through the dark, because all you have to see is the next two hundred feet. And that's how life tends to unfold before us. If we just trust that the next two hundred feet will unfold after that, and the next two hundred feet will unfold after that, your life will keep unfolding. And it will eventually get you to the destination of whatever it is you truly want, because you want it.Your thoughts control your personal vibration. Change your thoughts, get emotional about them, and you'll change what is attracted to you.

I love this song and I think the animation is funny. Wait for the girl at the end, hmmm... I can think of a few people I wouldn't mind doing that too!!! Did I say that out loud? Sorry those were inside words that should have stayed inside. Please forgive me!

All I can think about today is going to the beach and not just any beach, a nice powdery, sandy, warm one.
