Thank you Getting motivated early in the morning before anyone wakes up is the best part of my day I like

to say I have to wake up God and the birds.(pun intended). Tod ay was a little different..it took a little longer for me get the motivation . I had to fake take my placebo. ( remember viraltod?) It works when I need it to . That how good it is.(im jus sayin).By the time it kicked in, it was around 10 am .I decided to go to outwrite book store . Im always in the house so I though t it would be a good idea to have an iPad or a tablet so I would get out an d away from the computer.I needed to apply some of my "aquariisms."(Creative asp ects of my astrological sign and personality combined with humor and spontaneity . It works all the time.( I'm jus sayin) So I "fake took another viraltod" And t he next thing I knew I had a tablet. I use it over by Lake Clara Mera in Pied mont Park where I draw inspiration . Sometimes I like to photograph the lake re flecting the trees . It reminds me of piece of artwork by Salvador Dali, "Swans Reflecting Elephants. There have been, at times ,when I couldn't tell which side of the photo was right side up, meaning which was the sky and which side was t he lake. The fun was spoiled when I figured it out. But sometimes the word I write don't jump to life immediately. Perhaps they don 't need to jump .Maybe they just need to resonate..And resonate within me.I nee ded to regroup. A close friend of mine was having a particularly rough time with her mother who had become rather sickly in the hospital. I figured that this w as the best time to call for the best in me and be the very best that I could. I remained close in prayer . Fortunately her mother began to make some improveme nts . Thank God .I have always said I must thank god when things don't look the way I think they should It taught me how Not to walk by sight.It gives me a cha nce just to say "Thank you" and show gratitude. If you are sincere ,you will b e able to reflect what you have to be gr8ful for (I've got to put this word gr8 in the Urban Dictionary) . Those times are there to remind us that He is there t o comfort and guide us through those difficult times . I learn from my difficult times and I also learn from the difficult times of my loved ones. What I learn is how their prayers are answerd.I listen to how they share with me how a certai n message resonated in their heart.It lets me know that God got my message and h e's already got that worked out. Thats just one of the side benefits of viraltod .It makes me think things like that . I'm taking it now ha ha ha. Now back to our regularly scheduled Tod. Welcome I've been expecting you! Like I said earlier, sometimes the words I write don't always leap off the page .Its 3 days later and finally I think I can breathe life into them. I didn't h ave to look far for my inspiration. I jus needed to say "thank you for your pres ence ". Now to go on and create my day. I remember hearing a woman sing a song in church that went like this: "The only thing I want to worry about is what I am going to wear". WOW!!! For someone to only have that to worry about means that there is a certain aware ness that everything that requires attention is already taken care of . It remi nds me to walk by faith and not by sight during difficult times. The way I learn ed to do this was by saying thank you when things were bad. It made absolutely n o sense at all . And it wasn't supposed to.It was to make me walk by faith and not by what my eyes saw. No, there wasnt an epiphany, or a blinding flash of lig ht. It was that certain"knowing in the unknowing" that things were already alri ght. Not the way I want them to but the way they are supposed to go. The outcome , if my mind is framed right it is always what it is supposed to be. And it giv es me a chance to say thank you. It was yet another opportunity to practice look

ing through my eyes and not with them. Again, it's not supposed to make sense . It's supposed to make me practice. When I practice, I keep up an alignment wit h spiritual principles. It took me while learn how NOT to look at things with m y carnal mind but with a spiritual understanding. It's a practice that called for the bravest and the best part of me ,which is the very heart of me. ( it is the very heart of you too). And the best part of it is ,is that I,tod , do not have to be perfect. That doesn't mean that I can do what ever and get away with it( that's what my imagination is for, tee hee) .It means I better not do that. It does mean that I' d better do the very best that I can with what I have bee n given. "Give of your very best , and the Infinite Hand will abundantly bless the rest" -tod. For the moment that means breathing life into my words so they c an leap off the page or at least stand on their own merit. When they are given l ife, they do what they are supposed to do, I get to co -create the day Im going to have. I call it praying attention. I can see the words 'Its your life, don't just live it. Live you life and live it vivid!" " Live your life like no othe r ....live your life in vivid color!' " Its your very best that sets YOU apart from all the rest"-todWow !! There it is. viraltod is working!! "Welcome...I've been expecting you !
