I’ve had stuff and I’ve had practical no stuff.  I’ve learned for myself that having less stuff is more fun.  The less I’m into physical items the more I enjoy the items.

Let me explain.  Everything you own is temporary.  Your going to lose it all when you die and along the way some items are going to wear out.  Some you replace and some you don’t.  They serve a function.  They give you pleasure.  They are helpful in getting through life.

But they are temporary.  Experiences are permanent.  Enjoying things physical and other wise is important, not the thing.

I’ve enjoyed many things in life and didn’t own many of them.  It’s not necessary to own something in order to enjoy it.  Some things I can enjoy for a limited time but then don’t want it anymore, so why would I buy it?  Just find out a way to get access to it.

I was in France and Italy for six weeks this summer and last year the UK, Scotland and France.  I didn’t buy much at all.  This summer I bought a handful of gifts for family.  After traveling to many places and often you just lose interest in buying the same bag with the local city name on it.  I enjoy taking photographs and getting some printed and looking at them and remembering my trip.  The experience is what I enjoy.  I had a blast in Venice Italy this summer when I took a shower in the world’s smallest shower.  I called it Venice Shower Yoga.  Not the most comfortable shower but it gave me an experience that I enjoyed and will never forget and it makes me feel grateful for my shower at home, it’s so huge.

If you are in a situation that you don’t like look for the humor in it.  Put your happiness above all else.  Don’t put up with a bad job that you hate.  Why have an experience that is bad and keep doing it?

When you laugh at your current sucky situation you are on your way to change.  You can change because you have raised your vibrational level.  If you stay stressed and despressed you can’t change.  Your can control how you react to situations even if you can’t control everything around you.

The point of life is not to amass fortunes.  You’re going to lose it when you die anyways.  The point is to have fun.  Now making a lot of money for me is a lot of fun.  But losing money, even all of it is that the end of the world.  In fact losing money will make you a better player at the money game next time around.  Play full out.  Go for what you want.  Enjoy the experience.  Enjoy life.  Bancruptsy is not the end of the world.  Many successful people have gone bankrupt and started anew and became successful again and much faster because of their experience.  Use those bad situations as growing experiences.  Grow from it and move forward.

Play the money game, play at life with a sense of adventure.  Don’t take it so seriously.  Enjoy the experiences, grow from them and have fun.

He’s dying of cancer and this is his last lecture on living life. Good words from someone that knows.

I was quietly relaxing on the back porch when my love Nan called me and told me there was a change of plans. Instead of dropping one the kids friends back at her place they were buying me presents and going to throw me an early birthday party. Even the kids friend insisted on coming back to our place to celebrate. It was touching and I couldn’t get back to what I was thinking about while waiting for them.

When they got back home I had several presents and some great food. I got two audio cards. One that played the theme to Jaws and the other from the Twilight Zone. I also got a sound button that says “Force Field” and plays a song from Star Wars. A “Celebrate” word to dangle from my keys. And cup that says “Don’t Worry Be Happy” and of course plays Bobby McFerrin’s song. I play that song all the time. It’s one of my favorites.

My love Nan got me a picture frame that plays “What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong. I have it on my iPod all the time. If I need to set an alarm in the morning I wake up to that song. That present really touched me. I’m going to put a photo of my wonderful family in it.

Enjoy life. Celebrate it often. Have a blast.

I sent my honey an ecard yesterday.  She blogged about it.  Made my day.  Enjoy.

Yesterday is now my pinnacle my goal, to access that level of bliss and enjoyment of life daily. The more you notice the moments of joy and bliss, the better you can recreate them attract them, and access them. I am so appreciative that I got to experience this state of joy and presence.

Today, I woke up and found an e card from my beloved. He sends me cards from bluemountain.com all the time. It is so amazing to be in love with someone so appreciative and expressive. It adds to my ability to access bliss and joy and belief in the well being of life. I wanted to share what the e card said with you.

“You show me dew drops and I have diamonds

You being me wildflowers and I have orchids

You hold my hand, And my whole being loves you…

I hope you know how much having you in my life means to me,

And how deeply I’ll always love you”
