I Thank God For The Great Days

I forget that when I’m thankful for all the great stuff I have in my life, then I tend to be happy. I am one of the majority of people in the free world that fall for a fallacy where people think that if you have something you will be happy. It’s always something stupid that I don’t need at all. Normally it’s something like pizza or a load of wings – a totally fleeting thing that would be a moment of joy when I’m consuming it, but then it’s gone, and I feel the need again for the next thing.

I’m getting better with this. I try hard to remember life is about the interactions we have with friends and loved ones. It’s about being in the moment and just experiencing life while listening to music in the dark and only being alive – no expectations or desire. These are the good moments in life.

Like the good moments, the good, or in today’s case, great days, come when I’m grateful for the things I have and always will have. All we need is love is rather true – when we know we are loved there is hope and a feeling of greatness.

Today I laughed more than I have in a long time. I’ve enjoyed the small things, like my meals and the memes on Facebook posted by friends. The chats I’ve had today are worth more than all my things, it’s the real wealth I have. I’ll never have a lot of money and will never be able to just reward myself every day with stuff. However, I can have chats, texts, MEMEs and music in the dark. I will have the coffee ritual every morning that reminds me of family long lost to the grave, and the joy of my youth.

Tomorrow I may be sad, but today there is a great feeling of joy, love, warmth, acceptance, and the hand of God on my back. To have a low pain day is a bonus and just makes the day worth living well.

Thank you for this day. Thank you for the great people in my life. Thank you for the pleasures I enjoy so much on a day like this. Thank you for making me remember I don’t need to have stuff that takes money, I don’t have to be happy. This has been one of the best of days. I just hope I remember it, and I hope it continues for a few more days. Today I will be grateful.

Go with the Light and be in the hands of Love. Have a blessed and wonderful day. You are loved.

John, The Book of Revelation, and Mushrooms

Image
Where the book of Revelation of written has a lot to do with it's context it may seem. Definitely the reason why John was on this island had an influence in his vision of the future. It also echoes other parts of the bible. I'm here today to talk about the mushrooms on said island and the idea of spirituality and the magic mushroom. "John wrote the Book of Revelation while he was on the island of Patmos, an Aegean island where he was exiled due to anti-Christian persecution under the Roman emperor Domitian. This location is widely accepted among biblical historians and is significant in the context of the text." - Bible Probe Here is a blog post from the actual people who take care of this island and the fact that John may have eaten magic mushrooms. Now for the sake of this blog, I'm going to assume that he consumed the mushrooms. I'm also going to look at my own belief in the Christian Bible in a light that some Christians won't find in good taste at al...

July Blogging Challenge Day 28

Is your favorite attribute about yourself physical or non-physical? Non-physical. I am rather fond of my ability to think better than average. I hate to say it, but I think the average person these days has no idea how to correctly process and discern information. They just believe what ever is told them for the most part. As for problem solving, forget it for most people under 40 these days it seems. Yes some young folk are totally on the ball and can think properly, but most, not so much. It also seems that a lot of people in my generation have just stopped thinking and just go with whatever is fed them from the sources they prefer - be it complete bull shit and obviously fake as hell, or not. Thought is not important to the average person anymore. They rely on being told everything.

The Struggle Is Real?

Image
I just saw a video of a person saying, "The struggle is real." about their income and the price of food and gas. Here's the deal, the guy has 6 Tomahawk Steak on the BBQ. I priced them in Canada as he was Canadian. They range from $97.00 to $279.95 each steak. Say he's got the least expensive version. This is $582 of meat for one meal for his family. I am alone, but I spend only a bit less than $200 a month of groceries, and have a couple of treats near the start of the month - so lets say $250.00 His one round of meat for one meal is 2.328 X more than my entire month of eating. The stores in my city don't sell these steaks as no one here has the ability to get them on average, so they don't sell. You can however get frozen lobster if you like. It's a lot, but not $97.00. I miss seeing the lives lobsters in the tank at superstore - they don't have that now. It's been a long time in fact. Again, no one was buying them after the 1990's started. I...
