As a Man Thinketh

~~As a Man Thinketh~~ Dwell on the hopeless, be careful you may end up dead All those negative nellies, my oh my,be careful of any that fills your head. And yes, you have authority over your bright mind. Sometimes you just have to slam the door hard On news that comes in which is cruelly, mind-unkind. Whether that news slams a nation or any nation's leader, Set up a machine with a "no bad news allowed" meter. Run, or burn after reading, all things negative. If you don't, you may lie awake nights needing a sedative. A glorious sit down dinner with family and friends. Great music, people, sans smartphones makes for most peaceful, positive, delicious ends. Remember, it is not you, but only God who knows it all! Not us~ who do much better into His divine care to fall. May 9, 2020 1pm PST

Darlene, hello this Monday. Good news is sparse. I was out yesterday. People were out in droves. At the Lake, riding bikes. Shopping lots were full. CA had the lowest number of deaths in a while Sores are opening slowly, family over news, yes! Panagiota xxoo

Sadly bad news sells, no one is interested in the good news anymore. You're right, family are everything, enjoy your day. Tom

Ah, Tom! I am not most! You already know I will not watch nor read Poisoned News. Goes right to both brain and heart. People here committing suicide! Thanks to those oinkers who think nothing of poison pens. God and Family...not Government and media... Sending sun, hope and blessings your way. Panagiota xoxo
