First of all, I want to thank you so very much for voting for Taffy. You are gorgeous people and you live in my heart. You know that, don't you? Yes.
You live in my heart.

I went to work yesterday. Since my job is totally manual and requires the neurons of an onion to have it done, I have plenty of time to think about whatever I want, as I stock the Dairy shelves. And that's when the shit hits the fan.
I understand that it is much easier to think bad stuff than to maintain a constant positive line of thoughts. And I do believe that one must work on it. I do believe that our thoughts are extremelly important.
Thoughts are prayers. Therefore, if I think about miseries, that's what I would be wishing upon myself or others.
Thoughts wander, move from one subject to another, sometimes fast, sometimes slow. Sometimes it sticks to one particular scenario and there it grows. And I have noticed that the scenes that are most anoying - usually created from something that has actually happened - are the ones where my thoughts ramble around. Negative thoughts don't do good to anyone.
With all the confusion that has been happening in the world, it is very easy for us to get negative. Afraid. Insecure. Paranoid! We tend to feel that if we don't think about what may come, we will not be able to cope with it. We tend to think that we can be prepared to survive all the dramas that may be around the corner. Thus, we simmer these images and thoughts, on and on again. Giving more power to negativity!
Preparation is one thing. But allowing the negative thoughts to nest in our minds and reproduce in there is the worse enemy we can have.
I struggle to think positive. My mind belongs to me and I work with it constantly. It is my own laboratory, where I have experimented and proven to myself that being positive is very important.
I may sound to many of you as a wild, cheeky, inconsequent person. I humbly think and say that, although I don't measure my honesty and frankness, I struggle to be fair and have no intentions to hurt anyone.
I have a problem understanding whoever gets hurt in an indirect manner as if words could ricochet all around and hit them. The words that I use have never been directly aimed to anyone.
They represent my thoughts. And they are still mine.
Sometimes they are naughty, sometimes they are just bitchy. Most of the times, they have a huge load of sarcasm. It is my way of making fun of what I consider negative, in order to make it less powerful. That's all.
Love ya!

Too right!
I try not to let myself get bogged down with the negative stuff and focus on the positive, it makes me smile more! Your blog is fun, very naughty, maybe a teeny tiny bit bitchy, with loadsa sarcasm - that's why I love it!
Carry on Blogging.

I try very hard to focus on the positive - on the "I've been blessed with's" rather than the "Oh I really needs". I do stumble occasionally, but try to pick myself back up from the doubts and fears and put myself back in the sunlight again. :) My mother was a worrier, and I know I inherited that tendancy. But so often worry is about things that never will take place (thank goodness!) Your post today reminded me of "The Secret". A friend gave me a copy a couple of years ago and I try to keep it's message in the forefront of my life. :)
I sometimes miss the manual work... because it did give me a lot of time to think. I worked in a sewing factory, and boy did I have a lot of time to think. Now I'm in an office and the pays better but it's a lot of stress sometimes.
I loved this post - it really hit home, and you are beautiful at writing your thoughts and feelings.
Maybe there is something wrong with me (highly possible) but I find quiet work, like sewing fly's in work pants (over and over) or working in the garden or just doing non-descriptive work, is usually pretty soothing. It's only when I have had a confrontation or reminder of some nasty thing, that my mind gets - shall we say - overworked?
Yours & my mind are so alike. I'm sure we're too inteligent! LOL!!!xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
It can be very difficult to maintain a positive attitude with the way the world is these days.
Sometimes I just shut it off so that I can focus on my own life -- most of it, nothing can be done, so it's futile to be upset or depressed about it.
I like you just the way you are, Miriam. Don't change a thing. :)
Yes this world is full of negative but I try to stay positive....most of the time. I am a worrier, just ask my kids, but I know I will be ok because God is number 1 in my life.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts....
As you said "please dont take away my sense of smell" as it would be a total loss for you, is the same way for me it would be "please dont take away my sense of humor".
real life is very very ugly at times - thats when the ray of laughter can light up the darkest moments...
