The Grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.  Allan K Chalmers

Time for an inventory check?

You know the speed of light, so what’s the speed of dark?

I poured Spot remover on my dog. Now he’s gone.   2 Power to anonymous!

See Dick and Jane.  Look Dick look.  Puff is running.  Is that Spot chasing Puff?

Do you have trouble making up your mind? Well, yes or no?

Yesterdays post on Daily Rx and General Thoughts could help you “go with your gut”.

The oils that encourage intuition for me are Believe, Magnify Your Purpose, and Gratitude.

I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.  Anonymous has struck again.

I know that my instincts [gut feelings] are the truer gauge for choosing the right thing for me.  See ‘On the Lighter Side 2′ under general thoughts for details.

My essential oils that keep me ticking are Highest Potential, Magnify Your Purpose, and Believe.

Up at 4 a.m.  On the road by 4:30 a.m.  Destination prison.  This is my second trip to visit someone I love.  The first trip was made New Year’s Eve, at night, with a friend. This trip was just me, my tunes, and the road.

My impressions after the first trip were ‘a hard drive’, ‘96 miles of 2-lane road behind an 18-wheeler’ boring and  long.

This time I had set myself up to win.   The dawn breaking over the desert was gorgeous.  In my imagination the rock formations were spirals of cathedrals, sentries guarding my path, and profound works of God.  The predawn peace across the desert was enough to make me want to experience it again.

My impressions after the second trip were nice, relaxing, and not too long.

I used my oils of Frankincense, Believe, and White Angelica.  White Angelica protects us from negative ’stuff’.  They worked for me.

Of course, no man is entirely in his right mind at any time.   Mark Twain in Mysterious Stranger

I had to reread this quote many times to realize exactly what it is saying.  It is so true.  A cross word, body language that screams ‘disrespect’ at you,  or blatant disregard of your presence when you are the customer are all things that feed my ‘less than optimum mind’.

You may have experienced or seen the consequences resulting from choices made from the “wrong mind”.   We live in a feel good-I want it now society/environment that doesn’t encourage us to set behavior boundaries.  I use my essential oils to keep me shifting back to my right mind.

My oils that keep me shifting back to my “right”mind are Peace and Calming, Believe, Tranquil, Stress Away, Live with Passion, Highest Potential and Magnify Your Purpose.

I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.  Anonymous has struck again.

I am self-employed and my main business, teaching piano is slow right now.  This gives me time to build my beloved oil business and increase its profitability.  There is an immediate need to have a better cash flow so I opened my mind and took a tax course.  I totally enjoyed the course, but the reality of doing the taxes was weird.

The charges are huge.  [Could that be why this tax office is getting no customers and I am not needed?] The people are anxious, argumentative, and whine that the refund is too small.  (EIC is a built in welfare check in the tax system.  If you qualify you can get money you never paid in.)

I have always done my own taxes so I had no idea how much people paid to have so little done. The interesting thing about this experience was I went in with an ‘open mind‘ instead of going with my ‘gut’ feeling.

When I called to inquire about the class it was $100 out of my pocket.  They assured me that getting 20 hours would be no problem if they hired me and that they would pay me at least $10/hour.  I opened my mind. When I went for my appointment they made me wait 35 minutes and it wasn’t because they were busy-the lady I had the appointment with walked by me on her way to make a call and have a cigarette. I opened my mind.

I found many errors in the on line course.  I was told how clever of me to find them-I opened my mind. When I went for the employment interview I was offered $8.25.-It took me a while to decide if I wanted to work for nothing. I opened my mind.

It has been many years since I was an office worker.  I once again have learned why I am self-employed.  I am using many oils to keep balanced in this experience.

My friends that through the years have shared their ‘work war’ stories with me were instrumental in me seeing the big picture.  My ‘gut’ tells me that a supervisor that prefers to work with an 18 year old instead of a seasoned work-place employee may have a few issues of her own!  No open mind here thank you.

I did get enough hours to reimburse myself for the out-of-pocket expense for the class. I won’t need to do this lesson again.

Remember this – very little is needed to make a happy life.  Marcus Aurelius  Who he was:  Historians consider him a good Roman emperor from 161-180.  He was a philosopher as well.

One of my philosophies is Monday is just as wonderful as Friday.  This is my ‘very little’ that adds to the ‘happy cup’ of my life.  See you on Monday.

Dream Catcher and Highest Potential oils will keep me in the groove.

“Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on, or by imbeciles who really mean it.”

The above quote was made by a man of many talents.  A man who was accomplished and respected and lived and fought during the Civil War era, 1835-1910.  His name, Samuel Clemens or as we know him Mark Twain.
