59. This: Zen to Zany There are moments when you have to find a safe peaceful place to hide from the "doom and gloomers" the negative nellies..they just see the world as a place one must survive, instead of thrive. I don't argue their "realities" but I won't be pulled into them either. So I hide in the garden of my own Happy thoughts. It works.

73. I will. I will I will I will I will clean my kitchen and the birdcage today.
74. This I made up my mind not to care so much about the destination, and simply enjoy the journey.
Living in the Present moment and embrace and enjoy the moments of bliss.
Appreciate what I do have, and try to make the best out of what I do have.
Sometimes letting GO and just going with flow is the best thing to do.
When we stop trying to control and obsesses over things, and let let them happen in their own way - We feel less anxious, as if a burden has been lifted off our shoulders.
With that Faith, We feel light hearted, more Positive and Calmer.
And being in that state raises our vibration and attracts more goodness our way.
Try and be Positive and Stay Strong.
Have a Wonderful day.
