Who is to blame for unhappiness? All Y'all Know This...

-
We can go around blaming society or some people for our problems in our lives. Or finances. Or health. We can always find scapegoats to judge to feel
better about ourselves. We can look for people that will "fix you".

You can do this for the rest of your life if you like. It won't change much. Whatever has to be done, it's you who have to take responsibility and do it.

Yeah, things might not always go our way. We'll fall and stumble and we will
probably have bad luck from time to time. (More me than we on this one!)

But you still have to focus on yourself and on doing what you can do with what you
have in whatever situation that may arise in your world.

Learn it; live it; love it.

  Travel the World: When to Splurge. When to Scrimp, And How to Return Safely to Home Sweet Home Here in Tyler! Commend the hotel manager early in the stay…they may send you complimentary flowers, champagne or chocolates.   Hotel managers always hear the negatives, so if the room and service are commendable, do it immediately—you may even get a complimentary stay. Take a travel size of Metamucil.   We need fiber and in traveling, you might not eat so much salads and such; and too much bread and cheese.   Just take a little bit of Metamucil with bottled water at night and all will be well. Pack a tiny fan—helps you sleep. When traveling, just go for a one meal sort of plan.   A decent breakfast, fruit and crackers at lunch and a reasonable meal—small portions are key—good to try the food but why stash it away as if hibernating for winter.   Moderation is the key—and don’t eat tomatoes in any country for any reason.   Just don’t! Take a stash of tip money…$1 bills

This much I know to be true ... March 2022

  This much I know is true … If not invited, don’t go. If not welcome, find an exit. Never turn down an invitation.   If they care enough to want you there, then care enough to put on some pants and go. Don’t waste a moment on anyone who doesn’t care. If they show you that they don’t care, believe them. Listen to your heart; not what ‘they’ say. When someone goes crazy nuts trying to prove they are NOT   in the wrong….then they are in the wrong. You can’t look good making someone else look bad.   And one should always look good … When in doubt, leave it out. If it feels good, do it.   If it is illegal, don’t do it. Enjoy your best things now … old quilts?   Use them.   Best china? Use them.   Fancy Waterford crystal?   Let the cat drink from them.   Righty tighty, lefty loosey. A dog or cat make the best napkin… wipe your fingers on them and you both win. If I had a lick of sense, I’d know the exact measurement of a ‘lick’. At odds with myself.   A dear

  My Meandering Mind … May 31st, 2023 Words I Like or Dislike … this may be a long read … or hefty delete … ‘Aiding and Abetting a Criminal’ … I get the ‘aiding’ but have no concept of ‘abetting’… seems like same thing … Helping and Helping a Criminal … either way … all wrong … This notion of ‘what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger’… meh … what doesn’t kill you is usually very expensive $ … the Almighty Medical Dollar … ‘Wart’… as in, ‘Why, that little wart…’ and not a skin blemish. Okie Dokie … If I ever say this, just go ahead and nail the coffin… mummify me before sundown … ‘Things don’t happen TO you; things happen FOR you…’… Have we met?   Ever?   I hit you in the face with a shovel TO you, not for   you … My problem, according to my doctor who is the worst living creature on the face of the Earth, says that I ‘overthink’… well, this poor excuse for a doctor is a definite ‘underthinker’ … me, as I change my Primary Care Physician with my insurance … It’s not that
