WHAT TO APPRECIATE AND WHAT NOT TO


Can you think of things to appreciate keep a positive viewpoint and make lemonade out of lemons? What to be thankful for? What to appreciate, what to love. Is love a bad word? If it is associated with unrequited love a love that is not true, then it is an expression of deceit, and not real love. How can we have real love? To have an amulet or a locket filled with your loved one's hair to wear, to always be thinking of this loved one, to appreciate her kindness. Not to kill or be killed with kindness, real kindness that is supportive and helps you. Nothing from a liar, to bowl down these liars like bowler's pins, to get a strike or a spare, to win the game. Three holes in a bowling ball. A ball that is black or that is now available in different colors. Brand new beautiful bowling shoes, not to slip in a bowling lane shoes snuggly smooth to feel good a perfect fit. 

To go to an artwork gallery to see different wonderful paintings, to even have your own original painting hanging on these walls. No need to hang a criminal in a noose, instead to hang a picture of beauty or one of truth not to be censored. A picture with an image you'll never forget, to develop a photogenic memory, to never forget a face. To think of your loved one's smile. To have a picture of your deceased relatives or pets and to carry it with you to see anytime anywhere, to be in the storage of your pics on your iPhone or hanging on your walls in your home.

To have a relationship with a spirit, someone who is helping you go through life, a spirit of one who you love but is no longer in your physical presence who now is a spirit and with you always and forever, never to leave you, just to think of them, remember them and they appear as an image of loveliness when you conjure them. 

Not to have fear, even if you were brought up as a kid with fear. Change this fear into love. Who to love? You can even love a pet rock. It's made up of fossils perhaps bones of a fish or animal, a zillion year old rock. Just a pebble? Yes, it as a pebble that King David released from a slingshot to kill Goliath. Not to use even a pebble as a source of violence like David did unless it is in self-defense.

Do you have a pair of shoes to be thankful for? A pair of athletic shoes not high heels, high heels that cause bunyans. These athletic shoes are comfortable and cause walking and running with ease. Lasting years and years. Cloth shoes, vinyl not leather not an animal's precious skin. Not to dissect a real animal for furs and skins, especially not foxes. Foxes are good not bad animals they have red fur and we need to preserve them from extinction along with all the other animals that are being used for clothing and foods. Veal meat is bad, why, because of the way the calf is housed in a small cage unable to move, this causes the meat to be softer, but the calf is living a life of torture, not able to walk or even get up into a standing position!

To have a good meal of food on a Sunday, a meal of vegan foods. To eat fish. To live and let live, to love and let love.
