Just ate at the best Mexican fusion place in Houston

I just ate at Skinny Rita’s Wood Grilled restaurant. It is on West gray a few blocks from downtown. Excellent service beautiful patio. Not Tex Mex really Mexico style food. I highly recommend it personally. And I rarely make recommendations.

The claws are coming out

Oh my goodness, the claws are coming out.  Presidential election candidates.  Really, it is as if you are watching children play in a sandbox, and arguing over one toy.  And the sand is being thrown in all directions. The kid that will end up with it, is the one who can throw the sand the farthest.

We all get so upset about politics.  I want to ask an honest question.  Have we in the last century ever really made any changes by whom we pick as President. Do you really think the President runs this  Country of ours. That’s why we have the House of Representatives and our Senate.  So at that point the children get a little tougher, but they are like the football players, when it is all said and done they pat each other on the back side and smile and sit down and have dinner together.

The poor want to believe their life is going to get better.  The Rich hope it doesn’t, and the middle class pay the majority of taxes.

So personally I will be tuning into other TV Stations while the debates are going on, and people are telling everyone what they want to hear, they tell you there will be no new taxes, and health care is going to get better, Really? I think the people paying $6,000.00 deductibles would quibble about that. the only ones who that benefited were the Hospitals, and Drug Companies. If you can’t afford insurance how can you afford to pay a tax penalty for not having it….Counter productive mean anything to you?

The Abraham Lincoln’s are dead, and every since Franklin Roosevelt put in SS Tax and said it was temporary , and we all fell for it, there has not been anyone who truly cared about anyone except themselves.

So it is back to “Wheel of Fortune” and Comedy Hour where I can truly be entertained.

MY HEAVENS THE WOLVES ARE SURROUNDING THE WAGONS

As the politicians fight like cats and dogs, and everyone forgets their manners.  We as people just sit waiting for the other shoe to fall.  Social Security is being held hostage like a millionaire’s child, ISIS is in the shadows and no one wants to lighten up the darkness to see what’s really there.  We are all being spoon fed slowly so we don’t digest things too quickly, before they can be hidden behind the veil..

Then there are the conspiracy theories…wow…..what a life 2016 is bringing.

All I can say is that we must not lose who we are in all of the craziness.  We have to stand firm in the fact that we are not haters, or murderers.  That we are light and want to help the world not hinder it.  Greed is the destruction of all things.

If we could spend as much time on good things as the news does on bad things, what a wonderful world we would have. I am not saying to bury your head in the sand, and believe in LALA land, I am only saying don’t get caught up in what the news media and Television pumps out on a single day ……

I find that I feel much better physically when I don’t stay glued to the News.  I think that there is a lot of manipulation there.  You hear that a particular food is bad for you and we quit eating it.  It is like they think we don’t have a mind of our own. Even dumb animals grazing in a pasture know what to stay away from.

But for some reason we have all gotten hooked into reading all of the things that tell us what to eat, what to wear , how to think and even who to vote for.  Like we don’t have the capability of reading and deciding for ourselves, instead all of the candidates have to yell and scream at the other ones, and try to tear each other down.  No on ever made their light shine brighter by putting out someone else’s.

Please people, trust your instincts, you are animals, and you have it.  Trust yourselves and the brain that God gave you, Use it. you don’t have to be led like a sheep to the slaughter.

Make decisions based on that gut feeling,  I believe in you, Believe in yourselves.  YOu have a brain use it…You are no more nor no less than anyone else.

Please think of who we are

It was a horrible happening in San Bernadino. My heart hurts for those families. The families on both sides. As a mother, I know that we are not always responsible,or have any influence on what our children decide to do. I think tht it is very important that we are aware of dangers, and also that we are very aware of who the devils are.

We have extremists in all religions, look at our own people who go around killing abortion clinic people becaue they think they can justify one murder by commitiing another one. I am not saying that that is my view, I am just stating what goes through the mind of killers.

Gun Control , wow, do people realize that most of the crimes that are committed are not from people who walk in and give you their drivers license and sign a gun permit and purchase a gun. they are bought on the black market, from dishonest people, looking to make a buck. A person doesn’t walk into a Doctor’s office and ask for Cocaine, why would they submit their lives to that kind of scrutiny when planning on commiting a murder? Really,Ask yourselves that please.

Our Constituion gives us certain rights, and whether we agree with them or not, they were given to us to make this country a great country, which it still is. I would hate to see that the only people who could protect themselves is the criminals who have the guns. They already protect themselves with laws that are too flexible. You can kill someone and sit in prison for years, eat , watch TV play ball in the courtyards, and be out if you have a good attorney in several years. I think the going rate for murder with a good attorney is now 20 years, maybe less if you can fool the parole board into thinking you are rehabilitated or found God.

Please don’t think of Muslims as all bad. That would be like saying Christians are all bad, when one of them shoots a Clinc worker.

These people are all extemeist who are using religion as a crutch. They would use something else, or another cause, anything to hate. Anything to justify why they can’t fit into society, or try to make the world a better place. This is a group of peope who chose the Muslim Tag to be identified and hide behind black robes, and masks. These are cowards who manipulate and feed off of fear.

So please say prayers for the injured and the families on both sides, and know that we must be able to identify the haters and the darkness, not by what name they use, but by what actions they take.

It’s Voting time once again

As I stated before it is once again time to get into the Political Arena.  We will look at our chosen candidate as Prince Charming, knowing that he loves us and that he is truly concerned with our well being, and we vote.

I am encouraging everyone to vote, please, But don’t vote with your head in the fairy tale books.

They all research, and say exactly what we want to hear. They are going to change Taxes, make Medicare better, and care about the common Man.  The  Common Man, or as they now say, the  ‘THE PUBLIC SECTOR”  .  But they are really doing whatever will get their particular State what it wants.  They want to be re-elected.  If they care so much about the Common Man, why isn’t their Insurance the same as ours.  How many Policiticans and their families were effected by OBama Care?  What is their retirement tied into, it certainly isn’t Social Security.

Until we make them responsible, and pull them into the lives of the Common Man, and what they all go through on a daily basis, worrying about Medicare, medicaid and Insurance and Social Security, there is no way they can say they care about us.

The Republicans will tell you they are going to cut taxes, pull in all the free programs, balance the Budget.

The Democrats will tell you they will help Social Security, and they will make equal opportunities for all, and more free programs for the underdog.  The day any of that happens, it will mean that the President’s and Congress abide by the same laws as we do, and send their children and family to the same Doctors, hospitals, etc. as we do, under the same plans we have.

It’s like the farmer who blocks off his neighbors flow of the stream that goes through his property.  He usually gets the full benefit of the water, and lets a trickle continue to his neighbors property without too much concern about what it will do to his neighbor.

So when you vote, don’t lie to yourself and tell yourself, that your Candidate is going to change things for  you, he is just going to try to figure out how to keep the river flowing for him, and still make you think it is benefiting you with the trickle he is allowing to reach you.

Vote because you know you have to have Government.  We are like animals we have to be led, somewhat, or their would be chaos, but you decide,  Do you sleep with the Devil you know, or the Devil you don’t.  Just pick the lesser of two evils, that is the only choice you have. And then Prince Charming will lead you down the Golden Path, and you get to do it all over again in the years to come.

When you look historically, in the years past, the Rich get Richer, the Old get pushed out of the way, and the young believe in Prince Charming again.  It’s a game of  “Which cup is the ball under this time?”

 

VOTE…..

HOW WE GROW WITH OUR SOUL

I was having lunch the other day with a very good friend of mine. She was saying that she didn’t get excited any more like she used to.  She ask if I thought that was depression?

I said  “No ” I don’t think it does mean that. I think that your concience starts to connect with the soul, and it starts to recognize who we really are, not what we have or what we can own, but who we are..  It doesn’t lack anything , it is put into our body and waits to receive acknowledgement.  For some of us it takes longer than for others.  But when that connection starts to take place, we find we don’t need the things that we have always sought after to make us content  We feel a peace inside and all  of a sudden we don’t require as much in our lives.  Once our thirst starts to be quenched, we no longer need so much water.

We start to feel that perfection, that quiet silence, that light that is brighter than anything we an imagine.  The things that brought us happiness, told us who we were ie, our car, clothes, nice house etc. start to not be enough, and start to make us feel empty. I think that is when the soul starts to shout at us,….”What do you need ?” I am all things, I am light, purity, peace, love, approval, etc.

The things that can be disposed of, or stolen are not everlasting. I am everlasting. I will be with you until you take that last breath, and beyond. I will not forsake you, I will not betray you, i will not judge you.

I will be your best friend, and will stand by you until the end.

So do I think that is depression when you start feeling as if all of things you worked so hard for, all of the things that made you feel whole, and set your self worth on,  are not making you feel complete. That all of a sudden you realize that there is an emptiness, and you start feeling content, not trying to obtain,but just to be.  I think that is what is truly called “Sprituality” and some of us reach it before others.  Some of us, never reach it and still cling to all of the disposable things in our life. Things that don’t make us happy, but somehow make us feel important.  Better than, or more accomplished than someone else. But they are empty things.

So connect with that spirit inside that is all things to you. It doesn’t need to be fulfilled, it already is complete,  it is just waiting for you to find it, and welcome it home.

Calendar Flipping

As I was changing my calender page on my desk this morning, since I had been so neglegent to update it, I thought about several things.  As we flip that calendar, does it really dawn on us how we wish our life away.  If it is Monday, we can’t wait for Friday, and if it is Wednesday we can’t wait til Friday.  The hours and days in between just sort of get pushed out of the way, As if they are insignificant, and not important, .and all we can think about is Friday.  Maybe we also, treat people like that.  We can’t be bothered with people who waste our time. And yet a smile only takes a moment.

Someday we will be wishing we had those Tuesdays, Thursdays and Wednesdays.  Someday we will look back and wonder what could have happened to all of those years and all of that time? Just as we will look back and wish we had been kinder, perhaps, or given someone a second of our time.

I, myself looked at the day as I was flipping  the calendar to mark the day my upcoming vacation was going to arrive.

Oblivious to the fact that the 9 days before this event, I should cherish.  Perhaps something would happen and I wouldn’t be able to take that vacation.  Should I just dismiss the time I do have to enjoy today?

Or should I relish today like a fine cup of coffee, that is served to me when I rise to greet another day of my life. Another day I am allowed to take up space on this wonderful planet, another day to hug my grandchildren, and review the events of the previous day.  Looking forward to what surprises God has for me today. I always say we are God’s comic book.  He must laugh at us when he watches how we throw away the things he gives us becaue we are rushing to get what we want.

Soooo, when you wake up tomorrow and you may flip that page to the next page on your calendar, Review what happened yesterday, and what you  learned from yesterday, what gifts did you get and not pay attention to?

And when you start to write on this mornings page,  First put  # 1:  Enjoy all that is given to me today.

#2    Don’t let a minute pass me by, that I don’t cherish it.

(It may be the last one I get.)

#3  Make a differentce today!

I think as you do these things, when you flip that last page for the year, you will be a happier person, and a happier, more fulfilled soul
