“It takes a long time to grow an old friend.” by John Leonard (thanks to Steve’s Famous Quotes)
Once an ‘old friend’ is grown time, distance, and little communication cannot destroy the bond.
Abundance is the oil that reminds me the value of a friend.
Any idiot can face a crisis – it’s day to day living that wears you out. Anton Chekhov
Valor is my choice for helping me keep on keeping on.
~ To be able to move on, one has to learn to forgive not only the person (or people) who have done one wrong but also oneself ~Eugenia Tripputi
The wonderful oils of Forgiveness, Hope, and Valor help me fill up with love.
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.
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.
Living in awareness is a life skill that I am working on daily. Feel your breath, feel your body posture, feel your eyes reading this page, feel the temperature of your environment, listen to the sounds in your environment and then do your gratitude meditation that you have these senses that color your world.
Highest Potential, Believe, Hope /Goal, and Gratitude are oils that help us live a-live and consciously.
Wow there is nothing like having it all come together and fit. This is a feeling I want to hold onto. It was at our improv performance (see us on facebook: Las Vegas Improvisation Players) that the energies were aligned and we did great. I was very pleased with my contributions. It doesn’t get better than that. For more details see my page: LAUGHTER–A LIFE NECESSITY.
Some of the oils that will help keep us in this mind frame are Joy, Believe, Gratitude, Humility, Dream Catcher, and Live With Passion.
