Well, I read some Napoleon Hill…

…or rather … most of the book, “Grow Rich with Peace of Mind,” by Napoleon Hill last night, instead of reading news & conspiracy sites on the internet.  It was published in 1967, when the man was in his 80’s,…back when I was an infant. 

  And, I woke up this morning in a lot better mood than normal. 

The night before last, I was fortunate enough to be able to spend some time talking to my favorite cyberspace friend, Alice; as well as some other very cool people, who are progressive thinkers & an uplifting energy … at www.samsedershow.com

  I am still inspired from that experience. 

So, basically, it’s probably been the last two nights of devoting my time to positive people & messages … which would explain why I feel better than normal at this time in the morning today.

It is possible my grandfather has passed away … or will pass away … today.  He has not eaten, nor had anything to drink in 11 days.  He never was sick in his life.  He just lost his will to live.  But, nonetheless, he is not finding it that easy to pass through to the other side.  My parents have been at his side, in Rancho Bernardo, California … over the last couple weeks, and my mother said that she is very grateful to have had this opportunity to be by his side, and wasn’t aware of how much she really loves her father (my grandfather).  My grandpa, of late, is essentially not there, talking to invisible entities at times; if that’s what it is.  And, occasionally checking the clock. 

His final words perhaps might be, “Stop singing.”  …Which he told my father, as he was singing to my grandfather with the intent of soothing him.  It would make for an interesting story, if this is the case.  Whether it affects my father’s self-esteem &/or his dreams of coming out of retirement and becoming a singer … remains to be seen.

I have decided to take yet another attempt at self-awareness.  If I really want to grow & evolve in the manner in which I tell myself I do, then I need to give my best effort towards making my homefront the most loving & peaceful as possible.  And, I need to give & give & give.  And, I need to focus on growth, as it’s the law of nature.  Meaning:  I’ve gotta do my best to affect the friends & family I love … with positivity, support & love.  And, when I can, I need to expand my intentions of good will to the world outside, whether it be in my neighborhood & town, or via e-mail & cyberspace. 

I do not wish to be wasted all the time & focused on scarcity, worry & bad news.  Because, for one, scarcity does not exist in the purest sense.  Worry is 100% unhelpful & a waste of time.  And, it is totally within the realm of my abilities to be aware of the world around me without giving my attention to news and events that I don’t like, nor want. 

You become that which you fight against … as the quote goes.

So, with that, I’m off to be productive.  I’ll talk to you all later.

With love, I give thanks for all my blessings & send love to all of you who are reading this.

I hope this is your best day ever.
