It's not selfish. It's not rude. It's imperative. You are allowed
to determine who gets access to
you. You are allowed to want
people in your life who make
you feel light and supported.
You can set that standard. It's
your life. Don't forget that.
The Tale of the Pencil
The Tale of the Pencil is a metaphorical story that emphasizes the idea that everyone has unique strengths and weaknesses that can be used to create something beautiful and meaningful.
In the story, a pencil maker tells the pencil five important lessons as it goes through life.
First, the pencil maker says that everything that happens to the pencil is part of its sharpening process.
Second, the pencil maker reminds the pencil that it can always correct its mistakes.
Third, the pencil maker tells the pencil that what’s inside it – the lead – is what’s most important.
Fourth, the pencil maker says that the pencil will be useful only if it allows itself to be held and guided by the hand that holds it.
Finally, the pencil maker reminds the pencil that eventually it will be left behind, but the marks it leaves behind will make a difference.
The story is often used as a metaphor for personal growth and the idea that everyone has unique strengths and weaknesses that can be used to create something meaningful.
It emphasizes that we should accept ourselves for who we are, learn from our mistakes, focus on what’s most important, be guided by others, and make our mark on the world in a positive way.
When difficulties press in and insist on stealing our joy, we can insist that we will not be robbed in this way. Today. we can choose to allow bits of cheer to
touch us in the moment. We can pause to acknowledge the warmth of sunshine or wetness
of raindrops on out face, the joyful whimsy of a child at play, the friendliness of a greeting, or the sound of music that soothes our mood. Indeed, we
can choose encouragement!
LOVE AND BLESSINGS
CAT
It is not so!
Do you know what a cats mission is?
All cats have the power, every day, to
remove the negative energy accumulated
in our body... as soon as we fall asleep,
they absorb that energy. If there is more than
one person in the family, and only one cat,
it can accumulate and excessive amount of negatively by absorbing from so many people.
When they sleep, the cat's body releases the negatively it takes away from us. If we are too
stressed , they may not have enough time to
release all that negatively energy, and so, as a result, it accumulates as fat, until they can release
it. So, they get fat and you think it was the food
you were feeding them...or because they don't move enough,,, and the truth is, they don't...It is
nice to have more than one cat in the house, so
that the weight is divided between them...
They protect us during the night, so that no unwanted spirits enter our house or room while we sleep...That's why they like to sleep in our bed. And if they think we are fine they won't sleep
with us. If there was something strange around us. they jump into our bed and protest us ...If a person
comes to our house, and the cats feel that that person is there to harm us or that he is bad the cats surround us to 'protect' us.
If you don't have cats, and a stray cat comes to your house and adopts it as a home, it's because you need a cat at that particular time...So the
stray cat volunteered to help you. Thank the
cat for choosing your home for that job. If you have other cats and you can't keep that stray cat,
for a reason unknown to us on a physical level, and in dreams you can see the reason for the appearance of the cat at that moment. There may be a debt, some Karma he has to pay...So don't freak out or frightened the cat". "Well , he" will have to come back. one way or the another, to fulfil this obligation.
CATS HEAL US.
Cats are adorable creatures, and they love their owners above all they have a different way of loving . The Love is true, so don't doubt it. They are a great and true friend and above all good companions.

Happy Monday! Good grief, already a week into May! However, we have 3 more Mondays to go.
Duplicated myself to be able to drink my two cups of coffee this morning. Now that the caffeine has kicked in, I am trying to prioritize my "to do" list.
We have family coming over, the Parletts, so I had better get things straightened up around here and then get me cleaned up too!
I was going with the casual 60's look, which is my normal relaxed everyday look today.
However, Rbt wanted to wear a bow tie for us to go to lunch and celebrate Mother's Day early. After all, the Kentucky Derby was yesterday and his nephew and wife were there on the third row near the finish line again this year.
So now I have to dig out the hat and jewelry and my fancy purse! Hope your day is as fun as ours will be after we get our chores completed.
Are you a nurse? Just wondering how many nurse friends I have, I know of at least 3. In all my many hospital stays the last couple of years I've had some great ones, both male and female. So if you are a nurse or in the health care field, please let me know. Happy new week!
Prices on groceries keep going up. I went to Grocery Outliet and it is suppose to be a discount store, but prices seemed high. I was able to bet things I needed about 9 items and 28 dollars later out of the store. 8 p.m. your time is when Dr. Sharman will be calling because it will ve 5 p.m. our time and Joyce will know the results and everything then. She seems to be taking it well, and that is good. She doesn't seem stressed out. But at that time we will know. Thank you for praying for her. I will let you know after we know. Have a great Monday. Bro. Doc
