Alone. [-]

At peace! [+]

I cannot seem to recall, or rather cling to one particular set of philosophies from this website. Perhaps it is a prerequiste, a requirement, a feature of the ongoing carousel of axioms ruminating through my mind or spirit. People live by these things. They each have their particular ones they aspire too. Or that their fears prompt them to. But me… I cannot seem to keep anything in particular close to the vest -that I, others may benefit from 🤷‍♂️

If I were to be nominated for a Nobel Prize and literature for this work, I would accept under I would accept under one condition, and one condition only -that I be allowed to accept it on behalf of God, or if you prefer, GOD as I understand HIM!

The fact of the matter is we could probably get what we wanted from God at this very instance; if we could figure out a way for the dynamic not work against us, not to work against others, not to work against our relationship with HIM! That’s probably the only thing preventing it from happening -and of course our doing our part.

It’s not often that a treasure 🤑 finds us.

It’s pretty incredible when you think about it, GOD granting us The Choice to ascend or descend 🤷‍♂️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏾‍♂️

There are always things to consider [ in every situation, whether we choose to or not as entirely up to the individual.

I notice around the concave edges of the pan, it takes longer for the heat to be absorbed, to reach the inside. It seems to do better along the flat surface running parallel to the source of the heat -I’m wondering how a concave bottom of a pan would react to the stove warmer? What if the bottom of the Pan were concave and the top of the stove were convex? What if the 2 matched each other perfectly? There would be more heating surface correct? You know how greater surface area for example, on a rifle barrel dissipates heat? Well why not greater surface area on a stove top, glass top, Coupled with more surface area at the bottom of the cooking Pan? The bottom inside of the pan could either be flat or concave as well.*

The mind is a very interesting thing; It can pick you up or bring you down, regardless, irrespective of the presents or lack thereof of negative and of positive stimuli!

*I know this is nothing original but what other applications could the “sphere” [shape]…

Some people need, depend, desire, require a reward from GOD in order to do good – I DO NOT want to be one of those people. That’s the same attitude as what’s going on down here on this increasingly godless planet, nation of ours!

I am the perfect example of a person who has mixed feelings, issues regarding tregarding the dreams that never came name to fruition!

Once a person becomes aware of some of the more negative experiences of life, and then begins to experience considerable growth throughout their own [in combination or unison], it tends to create a fissure between you and the rest of the pack -at least that’s the case with me.

There’s at least 2 things people consider when selling something:

1) How much is it worth;

2) How much did I pay for it;

3) Who am I selling at to;

4) Is this 100% business,or do I want to bring some humanity into this?

I haven’t had very positive experiences with humanity, in so far as my feelings towards humanity go, I’ll leave that to your imaginations.

Depending on the people surrounding you; depending on the people attitudes and the beliefs of that culture, It will either require work to fit in with that group, or it will take work to maintain separation from that group [regarding bonding, acceptance…]. In the town I live in it takes work to be long, and it doesn’t take any to be separate.

There are better things to ponder on than resentments!

I heard in an alcoholic’s anonymous meeting a very long time ago that you cannot have gratitude and a resentment at the same time.

The more some women can’t have something common the more they want it to come the more determined they are to have it..

I think I have an extra couple of years up in my head that some people don’t.

Given the [typical] Alcoholics mentality, with regard to meetings, it may be best to look for what you can take away rather than what you can give 😆 🤣

There are better things to ponder on than “a resentment”.

A person is as good as they make up their mind to be! 🤷‍♂️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏾‍♂️

Like the Michael Angelo sculpture, the truth…

Why talk about the book in meetings when WE ALL HAVE IT TO READ?

We Alcoholics often feel cheated, and mistreated -Hence the lack of “an-attitude-of-gratitude”, and in many instances, a feeling of entitlement!

How to counter resentment:

1)GRATITUDR;

2)Look for what you can contribute to life, not what you can take away from it.

Lorraine, three things you can’t change:

1)The Past;

2)The Truth;

3)Others.

None of us ever get it right all of the time. But they donate to keep it, and theiroods, attitudes, egos… in the ballpark. NOT me! 😔

The thing about experience, the other side of that coin is; that for many of us, as we begin to gain in it, WE ALSO BEGIN TO THINK WE KNOW SOMETHING [OUTSIDE OF THE SCOPE OF…]!

Some people appear to have Teflon -backs, while others, spiny-backs that “catch” on everything! [cop resentments].

We can always find something to be grateful for!*

*In this country if a person can’t find something to be grateful for… If you can’t find happiness like ING in this country…
