September 8

Well, it's past time for another note and I suspect most thought the absence increased their chances of the day being better. I say that the elation of no Hunky notes, the coffee getting cold, a car that won't start and the usual sad news on the TV has nothing to do with the happy in your day. Your mind is the answer. You can let it guide you along with the outside influencers or you can control it.

As I walk through the house and out the door I can see the many things that need repair and probably should have been repaired some time ago. I can take that downer among others and go sludging through the day or I can look up and realize I am still able to see the beautiful world about me and walk in it.

See the tree dropping all those nuts, trying it's best to propagate the species as the squirrels grab them up to eat? That poor tree isn't giving up and has been in this situation many times over the past fifty plus years of it's life. Another ring around its core is what will happen and that is a happy.

See the flowers poking their little buds out in an undying attempt to generate another? Happy has got to be there somewhere by knowing, or not, that it did it's ever loving thing.

Happy is only if you want it to be. It can be as simple as while sitting on the porch watching the big waves beating your dock to an earlier destruction then realizing that you have a dock and a porch to sit on and still retain enough ability to sort out some of the beauty to dominate the scene.

Well, to send a note you've got to type something..........Struggling Hunky
