My Meows! Life as I see it.

It seems that the hardest lesson in life is to get that not everyone is here to ‘get it’. They are here for “YOU” to get it. Everyone is here for their own reasons. They come into your life to teach you what you need to know about you and vice versa.  Point: only the ones that you need to be in your life for whatever reason will be in your life. That is why people come and go. The main thing we need to 'get' is we are not here to directly change others. But then again we do influence others as we learn. So learning your lessons help others learn theirs, indirectly, of course. When faced with difficult people we often want to ‘change them’ or think why won’t they change? We need to be thinking about how we are thinking and reacting to them. That is the key. Once we learn the lesson they will either go away or the relationship will transform. Take anger for instance: if you get mad at someone a lot that you think they are treating you wrong or ange...

I love walking into my living room. As I sit here looking around I see how life works. In the beginning it was just a thought that I wanted to change. I wanted a life that was mine. I looked around and saw pieces left over from the lives of others. While yes it is nice to have something to remind you of loved ones, that does not mean you must be ‘in their life’ to do that. The memories of them are   in my soul, there is no need for the trappings of things. If it does not serve you let it go. I then began thinking who is Me? What does Me like? What inspires Me? So having a friend introduce me to Pinterest, I set out pinning and planning what that would look like to me. But that was just starting out. A plan of action is not action but is goal setting a very important step. I did go and get paint samples and agonized over which to pick asking others what they thought. In the end I went with what spoke to me.   My planning did not make it materialize but was a blueprint...

 WOW, Haven't written anything for quite a long time now. So much has happened. At the end of June I acquired a cold. We were changing truck companies and staying in a motel room (supposed to be smoke free) that reeked of cigarettes. OK that did not help any with the cold or my allergies. Spent a week there then moved into our NEW truck. Yes, NEW! Meaning fresh carpet, fresh glue, ya know that deadly new car smell. Then a few weeks later we got a KITTY, yes I know I am allergic to kitties but I wanted one so bad. We had lots of room in the new truck for all the kitty accessories. Now, did I still have a cold or now was it just allergies to the new chemical soup I was living in? Husband bought a air freshener to cover his smoking smells. Yes more of something I KNOW I am allergic to.  I am then taking all kinds of OTC meds for colds, flu, asthma. Wishing I had a health food store to stop at. Oh yes, I also had to learn to dispatch our own lo...

Dear Soul, I have been very angry the past few days. I have been sitting here trying to figure out just what the underlying problem is. Start with the current scandal that has my attention.  I was not angry at Mr. Cathy for going public and calling out the Gay community. Yes I believe he did, he said the world was twisted then brought up marriage knowing what a can a worms that would be after all it is a hot topic right now. He was playing it and He has earned handsomely from it. I was not angry at the Gay community for responding. The response was expected. I became angry when the army of Christians verbally started abusing the Gay community. This tells me I still have issues to deal with from being brought up in churches that scared me terribly and the nightmares it brought and mixed in with that is what I learned in school.  Being young I could see the wrong but could not make sense of why it was wrong. I was taught that all sins are equal and a...

Dictated by Papaw Fluffy Kitty written by Meow. Over a year ago my wife and I were with our good friend. I was contemplating the question of why we believe or do anything in this existence. We were discussing going to our grandson’s first birthday party.  There were disagreements about what was proper for someone to do or not do.  In this case I was asking why we needed to go to the birthday party and my wife and good friend were confused and a bit upset that I would even ask that kind of question. So in trying to help them understand that I was not asking the question to figure out whether we should go or not, my interest was in why do we feel the need to go? That’s when our good friend said he could see us all sitting down to breakfast and me questioning why we ordered the eggs. That made me think, in our society restaurants serve eggs usually 24 hours a day, but they label it as a breakfast item.  I can remember feeling kind of strange ordering wh...

I think if you asked Mother Earth what SHE really wanted to honor her this day she would say for us to stop,  look at what we are doing, not just towards her but towards each other. She would want us to give love to each other to give respect to each other along with the plants, animals and the Earth itself. Ask any Mother how it feels when her children are fighting. Ask any mother who has experienced one of her children killing a sibling or on trial for murder for anyone or on trial for anything or one who is hurting his/her self. Ask a mother whose child was killed in war or violence on the street, a mother of an child, abused and left unloved.  It is heart breaking. The Earth is “Mother” to all of us, to all the people, trees, plants, animals and insects. We need to stop and take a hard look what we are doing to each other. We are breaking our Mothers heart to the core. And she is showing signs of distress. You can start right now. Look at the peop...

The marijuana issue brings up why things must change. Why we cannot sustain things the way they are. It is a small part of a much broader global problem. Everyone fighting to keep what they have or their believed potential of what they have. There is no longer any wiggle room each group seeing something being taken away from them should anyone else get what they want. The greed, the need to keep others down in order to get what they need. The belief that there is not enough to go around. The belief if someone else gets what they want there will be less for me to have.  In this one article (link here: http://www.republicreport.org/2012/marijuana-lobby-illegal/) we can see why the economy is falling apart, why religion is falling apart. In every situation it is a lack of faith, the lack of love for each other; it is the dominance of fear. Let go of the fear. Anything you feel the need to cling to is from fear. Whether it is the fear of the police to lose their funding, the fe...
