Expexted the unexpect... blah blah etc

Sometimes the best thing to do in life is not to dream.

WAIT! WAIT! WAIT! WAIT! I'm not being morbid or morose or more... not happy, this is a positive thing, just bare with me!

See I've noticed that a lot of unhappy folk are generally unhappy due to their unfulfilled "dreams".

They planned to have a high paying job by 25, a family by 30, retire by 35 and die in a mass orgy with many a nubile wench after a long and luxurious life.
So they do tend to get a bit put off when things don't go as planned.

And this happens a lot! People can get just as unhappy when they're not married by age 30 as they can be at hoping to eat a fish salad and ending up with a chicken one! It's like, "Oh woe is me! Life is cruel because, although I have everything else, I didn't get my fish salad! It hates me!" and the other cries of the sort of victim you tend to think twice about socializing with.

The fact is we come to expect certain things to happen in a certain way because that is what we want! But life doesn't always, or sometimes ever, play that way and what you are now might be nothing at all like you hoped and dreamed you'd be however many moons ago in the past.

The difference between happy people and miserable people is that happy people are flexible.
So I'm not a millionaire....yet. I have my health and loving friends and a hamster!
So I didn't get the promotion, there's always next time.
So I didn't get my sex change operation, I still look great in dresses.
(It's about time I mention that these are generalizations and don't all apply to me because otherwise I'd have some bigger issues then I realized...)

Happy people can hope for more but also be happy with what they have so that, should the more not go according to plan, well damn, the ride was still awesomely fun hey?!

Sometimes your dreams actually get in the way of finding and being the person you were meant to be. You have to know what dreams are worth hanging onto, and which should be set free. Tricky yes, but you usually get a few hints along the way. (Like when you're nose starts falling off, that might be a small hint that you've had enough plastic surgery already!)

Living life with a few less expectations of what you think you deserve or what you think should happen, is going to remove that bowling ball of stress you keep all wrapped up in your intestines! Because as we all know, whether we'll admit it or not, life is going to happen to you regardless of what you expect!

Wednesday 27 July 2011 - GOOD vibrations!

Do you ever wake up with a very happy, warm, jittery feeling like you just know something good is going to happen and you don't know what but you're really, really excited about it anyway? You feel happy, and light and as joyful as Pollyanna on uppers!

Mind I've often had this feeling and nothing particularly MIND BLOWINGLY AWESOME has happened each time. In fact once or twice the day has also even taken a turn for the worse and I've felt most let down by the emotional false advertizing!

It's not ESP or a premonition, I have the psychic abilities of a shy lemon, it's just a good all over feeling that's decided to take charge for the day! I'd blame the bananas I have for breakfast but they're innocent of all charges!
Whatever could cause this?

Well I don't know, not a clue! And today could be good, could be bad, could be one where intensive therapy with anatomically correct dolls is required afterwards!

BUT!!!

I'm going to enjoy this feeling to the fullest for however long it's here for and not bother with all the nitty-gritties until afterwards, if at all ever!

Aaaah I could hug the world!!! (But only if some folk took a bath first, good hygiene is not to be sneezed at!)

Have a BEAUTIFUL DAY!!

Saturday 23 April 2011 - Easter Egged

Aaah Easter holidays rock! I like them almost as much as Christmas. (Though in Xmas I actually get given things I can eat, or at least barter with...)

Easter egg hunting is fun though. I remember doing it as a kid! We were so thorough! We looked in places no sane adult would ever hide chocolaty goodness and were always slightly put out when we'd found every egg! (There's never enough in the minds of children).

As an adult (I am! I am! I am!), I found, if you hide eggs, it's best to sort of map out where you hid them, before the kids complain they're one egg short and you find something white and fluffy gently mouldering in the cupboard 6 months later.

I also love all the public holidays strung together, like fairy lights to enchant the working moths. I wonder that anything ever gets done in April with the mass evacuations from all forms of work and duty!

But enough talk about it! It's Saturday! Day after Good Friday (which was very good!) and Easter Sunday (Which will be very good!) and it's time to get up and get cracking if I'm going to waste the day effectively!

p.s. For a heathen I sure know my religious holidays hey? Sainthood might not yet be out of reach!

Sunday 06 March 2011 - nirvanahaha

Do you ever sometimes feel far more then you are? Like you're connected to everything in a way and at peace with it?

I get that sometimes.
It's awfully nifty!!
It's like religion without all the fuss and bother and annoying ceremonies that have you falling asleep on your already long dead feet!
It's like a certainty of........ something!
Not like of a god, a faith, a belief, a dungeon's and dragon's rule book...

But like a love of life! A love of just, well... just being you!!! Of being alive and being able to eat watermelon and laugh and complain and sing and dance like a special kid on acid!

Just a really really awesome feeling you want to share with the world.
