O.K. the bliss trip was SO fun! It lasted several days and what a ride!!!! YUMMY!!! But, big surprise, I started sliding yesterday and as my feeling of trying to recapture the bliss intensified, I accelerated quickly into crash and burn. So being the keen observer of human behavior I am, I couldn't help but notice something. I am a slave often to two things- my bodily reactions and the negative emotions that surround intense emotional/physical discomfort. So often I follow the momentum of egoic consciousness into the toilet. Well, after a night of little sleep, I woke up groggy, unhappy and just plain disgruntled. The thoughts kicked in as my mind began to plan a miserable day ahead. Luckily the gods decided to intervene with a rosy sunrise. I got caught in the clouds enough to rise above my own misery to try an experiment. I systematically shifted my thoughts and decided to stop the downslide. I started imagining I was going to have a fabulous day and wondering what miracles might await me. I bestowed boons of hugs and kisses on anyone fortunate enough to cross my path. I beamed love over the ocean. I drank a very hot coffee and got on with it. And guess what, I am now sitting on my deck again, in the sun, having a gorgeous day. Want to join me?
Funnily enough, I've been trying something similar the last couple of days. I'm still following nature, my own and the one outside, but I'm also making a point of planning a few things that feel possible in a day which is keeping me fairly positive.

YEA! I swear, minds are joined. I figure we might as well enjoy the ride.
