Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

Reading Scriptures
I have a friend I call only when I went to smile. I truly hope that other people have friends like this. I don’t care what day or time it is, I will always hang up grinning. Today he began reading the equivalent of what might be scriptures. A new age kind of scripture. The piece was about infinity vs. getting old. I went away feeling younger, more capable and optimistic. I particularly liked the part about attitude. Our attitudes are so directly linked to our soulful beings. Move carefully with your attitudes. Here’s to positive attitudes and ‘ono friends that make us smile!

Two Quotes for Thought
There are two ways of spreading light -- to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.
Edith Wharton
The greatest discovery of the 20th Century is that our attitude of mind determines our quality of life, not circumstances.
William James, Father of modern day psychology.

Quantum Prayers
A hefty read but worth it. Research that 'Matters'..............
The Mechanics of Prayer
If we want to examine the mechanics of prayer, we have to turn to an unlikely ally, quantum physics. Quantum physics is the study of matter and energy at the deepest and most subtle levels possible. It is one of the most rigorous and challenging sciences in existence. In the last twenty years however, this science has been shaken to its very foundation by a series of startling discoveries.
Quantum physicists keep finding that certain kinds of feeling affect their own experiments. It is, of course, known and accepted by quantum physicists that the observer of the experiment affects the experiment. This is a basic law of Quantum Mechanics. The degree to which it affects the experiment is the key we are talking about here.
Researchers in microbiology have found, for example, that human feeling either tightens or loosens the stranding of human DNA on a microscopic slide outside the body. In other words, researchers would be looking through a microscope at DNA, and the quality of the feeling in the room, the observers' feelings, would wind that DNA tighter, or would unwind it to a looser state.
Quantum science is beginning to bear out, through study and experimentation, this relationship between human emotion and feelings and the outer world. For example, recent research says the magnetic nature of human emotion is directly linked to weather patterns and the barometric pressure.
Examples are the studies by Roger D. Nelson at Princeton Universe in his paper called, "Wishing for Good Weather: A Natural Experiment in Group Consciousness," and also Lauri J. Robinson's work at Franklin Pierce College, showing that human interaction with cloud formation/dissipation indicated results that were "significantly greater" than those predicted by chance.
Dr. Bryd, a cardiologist with San Francisco General Medical Center completed a research study involving 393 patients between August 1982 and May 1983. He divided the group into 192 patients who were prayed for, and 201 who were not prayed for.
He reported that among other things, the people who were prayed for were five times less likely to develop pulmonary edema, pneumonia, or other post-surgical complications. They also died five times less often than the patients in the control group.
These findings are directly related to our discussion on the mechanics of prayer. Quantum physics has shown us that we change the basic nature of matter just by thinking about it. The human mind releases an energy radiation that is capable of interacting directly with matter.
Prayer releases an energy that emanates from the human mind that has a direct effect on the environment.
This energy comes directly from the soul and is filtered through various parts of the mind. We will call this energy divine creative force. This force can take various forms. Let’s examine those forms.

Intentional Acts of Kindness
Random Acts of Kindness are uniquely superb and Intentional Acts of Kindness are darn right inescapably untouchable. My Intentional Acts of Kindness are not always noticed by whom I bestow them. I understand though. I know my intentions and I know dimentia is excusable. What happens is, I begin to see myself not needing recognition, I am doing these acts for a personal glorification. How nice to live in a space where you just know what is right and do nice things without regard to anyone else or their ideals.

Forgiveness
I'm compelled to pull some forgiveness content due to issues within famiily and friends that need thoughtfulness of Forgiveness.
Then Peter came to Jesus and asked,
"Lord, how many times
shall I forgive my brother
when he sins against me?
Up to seven times?" Jesus answered,
"I tell you, not seven times,
but seventy-seven times."
FEAR
A brilliant artist healer friend was recently working on publishing her notes and came across a definition that is just too good not to share. F E A R = False Evidence Appearing Real. Whoa. I have not stopped thinking about it for a week now. It has provided me a formula to help ease my mind during somewhat of tumultuous times. It is a quick fix when our heads get away from us. I am also reminded of a kick butt girlfriend who passed away years ago. She was a master lei maker and a foliage connoisseur. She would interrupt her own conversing to point out a particular flower that was in bloom or a patch of fern that was abundant, constantly making notes of natures inventory. When I spoke at her funeral I described her as "No Sked" aka Never Scared. Completely fearless. I admired that in her so much because she appeared to be born with it and I have had to learn it.

A Friend Once Told Me
When my father passed, I went to see my friends band play, then 'Shiloh'. My guy friend Jamie told me something that I think is important to share when we lately hear so much bad news.
Our planet is full of hope. Our planet will fix the things that need to be fixed, our planet will learn from our mistakes. Our planet is going to shine, our planet is going to be one of the brightest planets in the universe, it's going to shine so bright that all the other planets will look to us and notice us as the brightest jewel in the sky.
Shine and smile.
