J.C. Kendall

On Sunday night after I arrived home from a Father’s Day trip to New Britain, Connecticut for a Rock Cats Minor League Baseball game, I went online and pulled up Google+.  I read with despair of the transitioning of one J.C. Kendall.

For those of you not on Google+, let me give a brief synopsis:
G+ is Google’s response to  Social.  Many compare it to Facebook.  There are SOME similarities, however G+ is building its platform around social search.

J.C. Kendall was someone that understood what Google was doing and we connected so well because after some time being on G+, I also understood what Google was doing.

J.C. spent much time on G+.  I met him online with a post he shared in January 2013:
What is Your Personal Brand Saying.  I re-shared his post here expanding on his comments.  Check it out.  I THINK it was after I re-shared that, that J.C. looked me up and circled me.  In February, I wrote another column discussing the merits of G+ and J.C. re-shared Sharing, Resharing and Circles.

We didn’t communicate often, but when we did, it was with mutual understanding of what we were discussing.  I have a wide array of interests and J.C. and I connected on a few.  Social Media was one such interest that we were simpatico with and when J.C wrote ANYTHING about Social I made sure to read it.  His absence from G+ will leave a huge void that will be felt by many for a long time to come.  There are several people who can take J.C’s flag and run with it but no one will be able to take his place.  He will be sorely missed.

Why am I sharing my relationship and how it developed in the short time I knew him?  J.C. was a power user on G+.  I want to show that if you attract those power users it is MUCH easier to develop a long term relationship with them.  It’s as I said in The Power of Social:
G+ is a place for engagement.
G+ is a place to make new relationships..
G+ is a place to network

 

You have to attract those users however.  How to do this?  You don’t necessarily have to write about “Social.”  But you SHOULD be knowledgeable about what you DO write.  And you SHOULD share other people’s content, influential people in your circles.  I’m fortunate to be on G+ in its early stages and I’ve developed strong relationships with many of the power users here, because I share valuable content.

 

I was lucky to find J.C’s What is Your Personal Brand Saying
…and because I’ve been involved with Social Media for many years, I understand what J.C. pointed out in the article he shared.  I jumped right on the topic and re-shared it, mentioning him in the process.  This from my column Sharing, Re-sharing and Circles:
Re-sharing:
Another advantage to G+ is the opportunity the network gives its users to re-share content. I’ve seen examples of this all the time.  WHENEVER I re-share content, I ALWAYS mention the original person in my re-share line.  How do I do that?  In the content line, I place a plus (+) then immediately next to the sign I add the person’s name.  This way they receive notification that they have been shared.  This is only good etiquette and I believe it is something everyone who re-shares content should consider.

 

When I plussed J.C. he received a notification that I mentioned him and that began our “social” relationship.  Once he circled me I knew he received all of my content.  He may not have read everything I shared, but I understood that.  I ALWAYS knew when something I shared connected with him because he either left a comment or notified me.

 

J.C will be missed as he was one of the users that everyone in the early stages of G+ looked to for valuable content.  He wasn’t just a power user.  J.C. helped everyone understand the new social that Google was moving toward.  I was grateful that he saw in me some of the same attributes that he himself had.  And I was grateful to have connected with him for the short time I did.

I wish him safe passage into the next transition.

 

Be Happy!  Be Well!  Be Positive!
Blessings to you.
And Blessings to all who knew J.C. Kendall.

Saint Gereon

Saint Gereon


Image from:
Wikipedia

I suffer from Migraine headaches and all I can say is I thank God that they don’t strike as often as they did when I was younger.  Tuesday, June 11, I was struck harder than any time in ages:

 

 

Aversion to light
Aversion to sound
Slight Vertigo
Upset stomach
And worst of all the pounding in my head

Once I felt human again after a day and most of the evening in a dark room I made my first attempt at getting up.  Why have I begun my Saints Monday column with a story about myself?  Some time ago while researching the causes for migraines and what can be done to help move them along, I came across something about Saints and Migraines.

Don’t ask how I stumbled on the information because it was so long ago now.  I DID save the information though.  So Saint Gereon:
One of the things I discovered about him is that he is often invoked by those suffering from migraines, perhaps because he was beheaded.

Gereon became a popular military saint and is often seen in art as a Roman soldier or medieval knight.
As I’ve said in previous Saints Monday columns, we should be calling on those saints who are patrons of causes we are involved with.  Anyone suffering from headaches may want to take notice of Saint Gereon.  Don’t consider it foolish to call on the saints when you need them.  Look what happened when I invoked Saint Anthony.  Be sure you read the entire Saint Anthony column to see another message.  Why I SINCERELY believe it was indeed Saint Anthony who came to my aid when I called out to him.

Be Happy!  Be Well!  Be Positive!
Blessings to you.

Every Thought You Produce

Every thought you produce, anything you say, any action you do, it bears your signature.

Thich Nhat Hanh

 

Those familiar with Wisdom and Life will zero in on Thich Nhat Hanh; for I have written about him here in the past.  Hạnh is a Vietnamese Zen Buddhist monk, teacher, author, poet and peace activist.  Thich Nhat Hanh

There’s that word again:
Buddhist.

 

I keep returning to Buddhist thought because I feel so comfortable wrapped in it’s confines.  Everything about Buddhism feel right to me.  Hanh is particularly engaging and I seem to resonate deeply with what he has to say.  I think because much of his dialog reflects current Law of Attraction thought.

 

As a matter of fact, Buddhism and Law of Attraction share many connections as well.  It seems that many spiritual beliefs share Law of Attraction connections.  It’s why as I’ve said previously as well that discovering LoA has deepened my faith.

 

The above quote speaks to this as well.  What is the basic premise of Law of Attraction?

That our thoughts create our reality, correct?

That our thoughts are an outreach of ourselves, correct?

 

Isn’t that what Hanh is implying here?  So here is another example, as I’ve maintained here since this blog’s inception, just how connected everything is.  There are connections everywhere.  You just have to be astute enough to see them.  You have to be able to remove those spiritual blinders from your eyes.

What do you know about Buddhism?

What do you know about Law of Attraction?

If you dig into both of these philosophies, I imagine you’ll discover bridges to and from both worldviews as everything is connected if you know where to look.

 

Can you find the connections to Law of Attraction to all Spiritual beliefs.

Buddhism has many connections.  Look for them.

 

Be Happy!  Be Well!  Be Positive!

Blessings to you.

The Answers You Seek

The answers you seek never come when the mind is busy, they come when the mind is still, when silence speaks loudest.

 

Spiritual Truths

 

Image from:

Venerable Mettananda

Buddhist monk meditation on WaterMeditation.
Sleeping.
Dreaming.
The time JUST before fully waking.
 

These are all times when your mind is the clearest. There are no scattered thoughts racing around.  Your mind is settled, calm, serene.

How many times have you awakened in the in the middle of the night and discovered the solution to a challenge you’ve faced?

 

 Do you ever wonder why that is?  It is because of what I said above:
This is the time when your mind is settled.
It’s why I spend so much time meditating.
It’s why I practice yoga.

 

These two practices help me return to that serene state.  When I’m facing a challenge calming my soul, calming my mind, calming my body does wonders to discover that solution I’ve know is locked in my mind.  It’s why when I was writing fiction, I’d always keep a 3×5 notebook on my nightstand with a pen right beside the notebook.

 

So often I’d go to bed with a question in my mind about the direction I was headed with a particular storyline.  On many occasions, I’d wake and the resolution would surface.  All it took was to STOP thinking, to STOP dwelling, to let the solution work its way into my uncluttered mind.  The same can be said if you’re facing an emotional challenge.

 

So easy it is to say simply stop thinking.

 

When the answers flow once you are in that serene place, you MAY realize that’s where you must be to find the challenging solutions.

Stop pressing!
Stop rowing AGAINST the stream.

 

It is only when you are calm,
It is only when you are serene,
that you will discover the answers.

 

 If you are not practicing meditative states and you are faced with stressful situations,

if you cannot find solutions to challenges you are facing,
If you are easily agitated,

Perhaps you should find time to practice silence.
Perhaps you should find time to practice yoga.
Perhaps you should find time to meditate.

 

You may be surprised to discover you find those solutions more quickly.
You may be surprised to discover that stress vanishes.

 

Be Happy!  Be Well!  Be Positive!
Blessings to you.

Saint Brigid of Ireland

Image from:
Catholic.org

Welcome to another edition of Saints Monday.

Saint Brigid of Ireland is special to me as my friends in the column The Professor and her Husband are integral to Saint Brigid.  Before they both transitioned, the professor’s husband became EXTREMELY spiritual.  You can read about SOME of his transformation in my linked column.  Whether you believe what I’m about to write or not is beside the point.

He believed and that’s ALL that was important to him.

During the time that he was incarnated and after his wife transitioned, he and I shared a spiritual bond.  We communicated through emails and I visited him frequently.  I saved many of our email correspondences because they were important to me as a reminder of our deep friendship.  As a map to this column I want to share a couple of the emails.

First is one that he replied to in an email I sent regarding a dream I had of his wife who transitioned earlier.

Even after close to ten years later I can vividly recall that dream:
The professor was on a steamship.  She had short close cropped black hair as she did in life.  She was standing at the ship’s forward looking out at the vast ocean.  Beside her was a pale woman with wavy blonde hair, a study in contrasts.  

I recall being somewhat present in the dream and I was able to interact JUST a bit with the scenery.

I happened to glance up at the ship and saw an Irish flag rippling in in the wind.

This was her husband’s response to me:
February 28, 2004
Chris:
To you, this very powerful email.
All dreams have a meaning for the one’s who dreams it.
Your dream has two meanings, among many others.

1. She wanted to let you she is coming back.
The other woman is someone she met aboard the ship.

2. She wanted you to tell me that she is coming to me from across the ocean, that she was born in Europe, somewhere blonds are prevalent.  England or Ireland, so I would know she is not an American citizen, which will soon be fixed.

Whatever her name is in this life, she is a fully awakened Ascended Master, with all the knowledge of all her past lives.

Yes Chris, your “sighting”  spoke volumes to me.

Remember she will only visit us the ones on this earth that she loves very much, to key me so I can receive more information, as you have just done.

She, with her returning back in the body will enlighten many souls as she reveals herself to certain souls.

Especially her sons who are seeds of two masters, and they can only be what she and I are, she will get them to understand this,

Chris she may be what is called a walk in, I will explain this to you when we meet.

She is of the Violet Light, and this Light can move mountains, as well as souls.

Revelations, flying into my head by the hundreds now.
Edited for brevity.

I hope you noticed some of the words he chose:
–fully awakened
–Ascended Master
–Past Lives
–enlighten many souls

Again, whether you choose to believe this isn’t the point.
I BELIEVE and that’s what matters.  I knew BOTH of them long before either one took ill.  And he was far from the spiritual being he became once his wife transitioned.  It was almost as if someone new entered his soul.

I think he believed the blond woman beside his wife was Saint Brigid, especially being that Saint Brigid is often portrayed in images as being blonde.  You may see the connection for why I believe that in the next email I share:

One more email to tie the connections together and once more this email is edited for brevity:
Date: Wed, 3 Mar 2004
Subject: little update

Chris,
Here is a little information about the “coming.”

This is vague however I believe this information that I felt through my inner voice are correct.

She lives in Southern Ireland not to far from Kildare.

I was there last Feb. 2003 in Kildare for the Feast day for Brigid 2-1-03.

I believe her husband saw the connection to Saint Brigid that was ALWAYS there.  

Miracles of Saint Brigid:
–Several of Brigid’s miracles occurred on Easter Sunday. On this day, a leper had come to Brigid to ask for a cow. She asked for a time to rest and would help him later; however, he did not wish to wait and instead stated he would go somewhere else for a cow. Brigit then offered to heal him, but the man stubbornly replied that his condition allowed him to acquire more than he would healthy. After convincing the leper that this was not so, she told one of her maidens to have the man washed in a blessed mug of water. After this was done, the man was completely cured and vowed to serve Brigid.

–Brigid was when she went to the King of Leinster to ask for land to build a convent. She told the king that the place where she stood was the perfect place for a convent. It was beside a forest where they could collect firewood and berries. There was also a lake nearby that would provide water and the land was fertile. The king laughed at her and refused to give her any land. Brigid prayed to God and asked him to soften the king’s heart. Then she smiled at the king and said “will you give me as much land as my cloak will cover?” The king thought that she was joking and because Brigid’s cloak was so small he knew that it would only cover a very small piece of land. The king agreed and Brigid spread her cloak on the ground. She asked her four friends to hold a corner of the cloak and walk in opposite directions. The four friends walked north, south, east and west. The cloak grew immediately and began to cover many acres of land. The king was astonished and he realized that she had been blessed by God. The king fell to the ground and knelt before Brigid and promised her and her friends money, food and supplies. Soon afterwards, the king became a Christian and also started to help the poor and commissioned the construction of the convent. Legend has it, the convent was known for making jam from the local blueberries which was sought for all over Ireland. There is a new tradition beginning among followers of St. Brigit to eat jam on the 1st of February in honour of this miracle.

Catholic.org

 

This is yet another example of the connections I see everywhere.  My connection to Saint Brigid travels back in time to 2004 with The Professor and her Husband.  These people are always in my thoughts, never far away.  How many people who have transitioned so long ago are still in your thoughts?

 

Be Happy!  Be Well!  Be Positive!

Blessings to you.

Chris

For the Best

When you believe a challenge arises in your life and you don’t see a way out,
When you are in what you think is a storm of epic grandeur,
When something occurs in your life that throws you completely off your equilibrium,

Do you understand why?
Have you ever heard someone say:
Whatever happens may it be for the highest good?

It seems the only people who say this are those in the Spiritual movement.
–For they understand that everything happens for a reason.
–For it is many of them who are connected to predestination.

–Those of us who are aware of predestination understand the concept that everything happens for a reason.
–We understand that there is no bad, that there is no good.
That everything is merely a lesson to move us forward.
That everything happens for the highest good.

So, what IS the highest good?
It means that whatever happens in our lives, whether or not we perceive it as a challenge, EVERYTHING is about moving us forward, moving us closer to the Divine, moving us up the spiritual ladder, rung by rung.

We may consider something bad.
We may consider something challenging.
We may wish to go back in time and change something.

If we look back at all of the events in our lives now, that we consider were challenging at the time they were happening, I’m sure that at least seventy percent of the time we can now honestly say that those events we thought were challenging, opened our hearts to greater joy once we had the vision to see.

If you are suffering from what you perceive is a challenge right now I’d be willing to bet that you are NOT staying in the present moment.  As I said in the linked column, it is only when we forecast that we run into that wall.  

–Stop forecasting.
–Let Go and Let God.

For HE is the ONLY one who has control.
And HE has ONLY our best interests at heart.

Whatever happens is predestined to happen anyway.

And the events that happen are ALWAYS for the highest good.

Challenging to remember I know.
Challenging to put into action I know.

If we can do so, however, just think how much smoother our lives will run.
Remember, row your boats DOWN the river.  It is only when we row against the current, against the river that we expend our energy.

Be Happy!  Be Well!  Be Positive!

Blessings to you.

Where are the G+ Business Pages?

On Friday, May 31, 2013 I wrote on Google+:

G+Icon
I keep hearing:
“Find us on Facebook.”
And I wonder how much longer it will be before we begin hearing:
“Find us on G+.

I sometimes give a tease for an upcoming column on my blog.  This was the case with the post I shared last Friday.  I seldom say whether what I say on G+ is a tease so be on the lookout in the future for this activity coming from me.

I’ve been listening to WPLR in the morning before heading out first in the early to mid 1980s for school then in the late 1980s and forward before heading into work.  A few days ago while listening to Chaz and AJ in the Morning, I heard them say for the upteenth time:
Find us and like us on our Facebook Page. which is what lead me to post that content on Google+.

I know!  You’re probably thinking:
This isn’t the first time they’ve said that.  Is this REALLY the first time you heard it?  
No.  It wasn’t the first time, but it WAS the first time I paid attention and that was when I realized we have yet to hear:
Find us on Google+/plus one our page.

There are indications that Facebook is on the downslide.  It was reported several months ago that many Facebook profiles may not even be real.

–In August 2012, Forbes.com wrote an article:
An Estimated 83 Million Profiles are Fake.
–In another column written by Janet Takavoli on Huffington Post  in December 2012, called:
Facebook’s Fake Numbers: ‘One Billion Users’ May Be Less Than 500 Million
–Finally on Huffington Post in August 2012 Dominique Mosbergen wrote:
Facebook Has 83 Million ‘Fake’ Or Duplicate Users, About 8.7 Percent Of All Active Accounts

I certainly understand that the 83 million figure is not a hugely significant number when you have the accounts that facebook has.  However, that 83 million number DOES stand out.  If, as it looks, there REALLY is a number of that implication, how many of those “Fake” profiles are pushing the “like” button on various pages and how many of those “Fake” profiles are following pages/people/groups?

This is where Google is improving its standings in the like/follow community.  Google is insisting that its users of Google+ (G+) sign on and continue in ALL of its services with their full names.  I think Google concluded from watching Facebook that it was in Google’s best interest to correct some of Facebook’s mistakes.  (So, see?  Sometimes it is beneficial to come late to the party.)

You’re able to stand on the sidelines and watch the errors that others make and ensure you don’t travel the same road.  By insisting on real names being used when on any of Google’s products they have circumvented Facebook’s challenge with fake users vs. real users.  I don’t think you will see the same issue appear in relation to fake users on G+.

Which brings me back to the reason for this column today:
Why haven’t we seen a “Find Us on G+” campaign?

Are companies still afraid to jump into an untested product?

Google as a company is far from untested.  Maybe other companies have seen the results of Google’s other forays into “social.”  Maybe they believe G+ will go the way of Buzz and Wave.  This certainly doesn’t appear to be happening however.  Buzz and Wave were only steps into the vast ocean of “social.”   Google+ is on a deep dive that shows no sign of rising.  The ONLY thing that is rising is Google’s place in “social.”

–According to Business Insider in May 2013:
Suddenly, Google Plus Is Outpacing Twitter To Become The World’s Second Largest Social Network

PC World in January 2013 wrote:
Google+ outranks Twitter as no. 2 social network after Facebook

Seeing these signs pointing to social domination by Google as well as search domination leads me again to ask the question:
Where are all the businesses?

A company who built its reputation on search would more than likely build all of its products around search, wouldn’t you say?  And that’s exactly what Google is doing with G+.  I won’t rehash what I wrote in the past, I will simply refer you to my:
Social category at Wisdom and Life

If you want detail on the search implications of G+ read my column:
Why Google+.

You’d think that companies would see the bigger picture and at least “step into the vast ocean.”
Create a G+ Business Page
–Start promoting your page on radio, in print, online, in television ads.
–Make sure you post relevant content.

It continues to baffle me why we don’t see this happening yet.  If Facebook is still a priority because that’s where your followers are, fine.  It certainly can’t be that challenging to update another profile.  Heck there are applications that let you share the same content across media platforms.  When you create your pages make sure you have way to track your visitors to your website.

–Follow up on your stats.
–Watch how your visitors find you.

I use Google Analytics on all three of my websites.  As you can well see I’m ALL in with Google.  I have been since Google debuted.  Analytics does an excellent job of showing what you need to see.  I’ve noticed a huge uptick in visits to all of my sites since I received my beta invite to Google+ before the platform debuted to the entire public.

If I’ve seen an uptick can you imagine what someone the likes of Ford, Sony, Apple or some other big name company would see if they spent time creating a business presence on Google+?  If business waits too long it may very well be too late.

Once more:
Business:
What are you waiting for?

Be Happy!  Be Well!  Be Positive!
Blessings to you.

Saint Paul

Welcome to another edition of Saints Monday.  Today, let’s discuss Saint Paul.

 

Why Saint Paul?  I think my fellow bloggers and writers will relate as he is the Patron Saint of Writers.  He is the Patron Saint of Writers because he contributed many letters to The New Testament.

Have a case of Writer’s block?

Pray to Saint Peter to lift it.

Aren’t you supposed to pray to Patron Saints for challenges you face when the challenge matches their sainthood?

Praying to Saint Anthony who is the Patron Saint of Lost Causes worked when I misplaced one of my thumb drives.  Read the linked column above and you’ll CLEARLY see why I understand it was Saint Anthony who came through.  Some weird serendipity in the column.

Back to Saint Paul:

I wonder of Saint Paul could have been one of the muses.  If you are in the middle of a block, it is sometimes said to ask the muses to help.  Isn’t that one of the things Saints have been known to do?

Hmmmm.  Saints/Muses?  I don’t know.

Just a thought.  My brain sometimes makes these strange connections, especially now that I see connections everywhere.  Speaking of which, Saint Paul’s Feast day is June 29 and June 30.  In the early to mid 1990s when I was writing dark fantasy I attended a yearly writer’s conference and one of the years, the conference wound up going forward on June 29 and June 30.  I wonder now whether the organizers realized this.  Being that the conference was specifically for dark fantasy I have challenge believing the organizers were familiar with Saint Paul.  I wasn’t until I studied him a few weeks ago.

So many times after the fact, I find these connections and they continue to blow my mind.  I understand that since I’m in this paradigm, I should get used to seeing the connections and easily assimilating them.

Doesn’t happen!

Miracles of Saint Paul:
Paul heals a lame man in Lystra.
Paul raised Eutychus from the dead.
Paul healed diseases.

Maybe now you see why I can relate to Saint Paul.  Being a writer myself and seeing the connections as listed above are just a couple of reasons I wanted to include Paul in my “Saints” theme.

If anyone has Saints they relate to I’ll be glad to consider adding them.  Comment below.

Be Happy!  Be Well!  Be Positive!
Blessings to you.

Time Doesn’t Exist

On Friday, May 24, 2013 my friend from Google+,  Jerry Ho posted this image:

How many times have you looked up at clock, pulled out your phone or for those of you who still wear watches glanced at your wrist to see what time it was?  Why do you think we are so concerned with time?  As I said in Is God Delaying Something:

Time doesn’t exist…    

…in the spiritual realm.  There is no need for clocks there.

Clocks only distract.
Clocks only pull us away from our joy.
Clocks are a bored man’s friend.  

Think about it.  When are you most aware of a timepiece?  When do you happen to consider time?

If you can find joy in all that you do,
Once you take to heart that time doesn’t exist,
You’ll find your joy again.
You’ll no longer be distracted.
You’ll no longer be bored.

It’s one of the reasons I no longer wear a watch.

I’m not concerned with time because for me, there is a plentiful amount.

When I DID wear a watch, the ONLY time I looked at it was when I was distracted, when I wanted to leave the place where I was.

Never a polite thing to do if I was with someone.  Inevitably I was caught.  Then the accusation would be thought or said or both by my companions:
Am I that boring that you want to leave?

In order to prevent those kinds of charges I chose to stop wearing a watch.  

I’m now more peaceful.

I’m no longer challenged by my friends.
I now find life slowing down because I understand that time truly doesn’t exist.

We can all get to this point.  It only takes diligence.  It only takes enlightenment.

Be Happy!  Be Well!  Be Positive!
Blessings to you.

Chris

Two Symptoms of Enlightenment

According to Vedanta, there are only two symptoms of enlightenment, just two indications that a transformation is taking place within you toward a higher consciousness. The first symptom is that you stop worrying. Things don’t bother you anymore. You become light-hearted and full of joy. The second symptom is that you encounter more and more meaningful coincidences in your life, more and more synchronicities. And this accelerates to the point where you actually experience the miraculous.

Deepak Chopra

 

When EVERYONE incarnates they have no worries.  They have no fears.  They have no anxieties.  It’s only as we mature and lose our childlike sensibilities that we LEARN to worry, that we LEARN to fear, that we LEARN to become anxious.  As infants and young children all our needs our met. We ask and we get.  What happens to that sense that everything we need to survive will be given to us?

What happens?

I believe it gets drummed out of us by society.

As I’m fond of saying here at Wisdom and Life:
Anyone who has been following me and my blog for ANY time knows that this passage is ALL me.

–I no longer worry.
–And I DO encounter more meaningful coincidences.

There are no coincidences in my world.
There never have been.

The fact that I’ve never worried for an extended period of time about anything is probably another case of God watching over me.  I’ve always had The Gift of Faith and I sincerely believe it has come from God as I said in the previously linked column.  I never gave this any thought until reading Deepak Chopra’s passage above, however, is it possible that along with the gift of faith that God bestowed on me I was also given the gift of enlightenment, the gift of deafness to society’s drumming?

The fact that I don’t worry;
The fact that I encounter coincidences and synchronicities EVERY day and count them as God’s blessings surely leads me to believe that God has likely given me another gift I was unaware of until today.

The Miraculous happens EVERY day.
I see everything as a miracle.  I always have.  My life is a miracle.

How many people can honestly look in the mirror and believe those five words:
My life is a miracle.

I’m fortunate to be an enlightened.
I’m fortunate to understand as Wayne Dyer is fond of saying:
That we are spiritual beings having a human experience.

How many people truly understand this?
How many people don’t lose their childlike innocence?

Count it as a blessing if you understand this.
Count it as a blessing if you see coincidences as God’s gifts.
Count it as a blessing if you see everything as a miracle.

Be Happy!  Be Well!  Be Positive!
Blessings to you.
