The Good Stuff

Man oh man!!! The song Cherish, by Kool and the Gang sure does take me back to a much more confusing time in my life. All I have to say is, Whew!!!! I am glad, oh so glad to be in the clarity of the now. 1985 was a totally lost time for me. I had no idea who I was or how I would ever be able to live a happy life. All I ever wanted was to be able to love who I loved.

Cherish the love, cherish the life. I guess I sang it enough back then that I finally got it, because I sure do cherish all the wonderful things in my life. I know I've referenced this song in a past blog, but it is just so perfect for this time in my life.

Do you know why? Well, I will tell you. It's because I got all the good stuff flowing to me right now. I have NEVER been so happy in all my life.

All it is, plain and simple, is paying attention to how I feel. I care so much about being happy that if something displeasing enters my realm of consciousness I simply divert my attention away fom the displeasing thing. I have no control and I mean absolutely zero control over anything outside of myself. The one and only thing I can control is me, my reactions, my emotions and my sense of peace and happiness. Therefore, I will do everything in my power to ensure that I am happy.
