Sorry if this sounds preachy, I really don't mean it that way;
Maybe we can call it: (Vanagon:o) thoughts for the day :o)
but, I believe the number one law of happiness is;
Don't take anything personally !!!
That said, it Is a hard thing
to learn to do, in our day to day lives!
(can ya see the paradox of me saying that? heh heh heh ;o)
Secondly, Money brings out associations in people
normally only found in the bottoms of the deepest Caves !!! ;o)
Or, "heck" (you know where I really mean :o)
Or a scroungy bar when the lights get turned on!
Yuck !!! ("did I sit on that chair" :o( ???
Especially in these hard economic times!
And let's face it.
This is an Energy sucking (taking) world
Survival of the fittest; and, this is what keeps it's "edge"
"it is a "good thing" as Martha would say.
& people are always trying to steal it from others
We don't realize there is no limit to the energy
available at the source !!!
And, according to the book;
A course in miracles;
It's either "love" or a "call for love"
& The Getting Is in the Giving!
And thirdly;
It's only business.
Stay professional; (as we all know you do! :o)
Answer All interested parties accordingly.
be patient,,,
And your bus will sell!
There are no, "too little"
or "too small" questions
It's Just how the markets work
It's All horse Trading for sure !!!
Have a Beautiful Monday
Share the Wealth &
Make someone Else Feel Good! :o)
