Daily Reminder # 281

Desperate for something different to photograph and
I thought this shadow was kind of interesting.

Going to use Neale Donald Walsh tonight. I absolutely hate this one. I mean I hate it passionately. It applies to me on multiple levels and it stinks. Stinks, I tell you. I don't mind good, wise advice that I want to follow, but this stuff that's repulsively true and that I have no desire to listen to, well..... So read it if you want to. It applies to almost every aspect of my life. But I haven't left my house in five years. I can barely walk. I almost never see another human being.. Part of me really wants to give up my vices: staying up late and getting up late, wasting my day playing computer games, watching TV, over-eating... But another part of me - the one that's winning - thinks that my vices are my only friends. Anyway. I post it because I know it's important. But I do so with a chip on my shoulder and a hint of  "bah humbug (not actually the words I'm thinking) to Neale and God.

On this day of your life, dear friend, 

I believe God wants you to know...

....that he who eats till he is sick must fast till he is well. 

That is a Hebrew proverb, and it has to do with a lot

more than food. Look to see what behaviors you are

indulging in over and over again that are clearly not

serving you. Then, go on a "bad habit diet."

I mean it. I'm not kidding, Pick one bad habit, one

bad behavior, a day for five days. You can do this.

Stop doing the stuff you're doing that obviously

does not serve you--or others.

This friendly "nudge" came from your Self, you know...

Love, Your Friend....

Some things I'm grateful for today: (items in red are pre-gratitude - an attempt to bend the Universe to my vice-ridden will and get what I want delivered before I kick the bucket. As a friend of mine used to say "when my ship comes in, I'll be waiting at the train station." I'd rather have abundance delivered to my door. Hear me Universe?)
