Other · June 30th, 2012 20:14 Men do not attract what they want, but what they are. A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts. Cherish your visions. Cherish your ideals. Cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts, for out of them will grow all delightful conditions, all heavenly environment, of these, if you but remain true to them your world will at last be built. The soul attracts that which it secretly harbors, that which it loves, and also that which it fears. It reaches the height of its cherished aspirations. It falls to the level of its unchastened desires - and circumstances are the means by which the soul receives its own. Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves, they therefore remain bound. Every action and feeling is preceded by a thought. Right thinking begins with the words we say to ourselves. Circumstance does not make the man, it reveals him to himself. You cannot travel within and stand still without. As the physically weak man can make himself strong by careful and patient training, so the man of weak thoughts, can make them strong by exercising himself in right thinking. Every man is where he is by the law of his being; the thoughts which he has built into his character have brought him there, and in the arrangement of his life there is no element of chance, but all is the result of a law which cannot err

She is looking straight ahead like she is in her own world. I keep her in sight out of the corner of my eye. As she starts to pass she turns her head to look at my car. Score! It is a '93 Camaro but it is sporty and looks better than most of the cookie cutter new cars. This is what was playing on the radio.

That summer three Marys came into my life. They weren't just regular Marys, they had one of those add-on names to them. Specifically there was Marylou who was an HR manager in my office, and MaryAnne and MaryEllen in my classes at school. This story is mainly about MaryAnne but I'll mention the others. Marylou was an HR manager who I was dealing with a lot because I was hiring someone in my department. She was probably ten years older than me and she was married. She had a flirty way of talking and people in my department started commenting that she liked me. I knew there was something to it when she called me by her husband's name by accident. Apparently I reminded her of her husband, or at least something that attracted her about him. One day she stopped by my office at 5 PM to disuss some applicants, then she asked me to go out for drinks. That was my chance if I wanted it, but the being married thing was the dealbreaker for me. I said no and that was about it with Marylou. Well sort of, about a year later we had lunch then kissed in the parking lot. It was a full embrace and kiss that lingered. But you could still play it off like friends saying goodbye. A short while later she got another job. OK, the next Mary of the summer was MaryEllen from school. I knew her from a class I had taken the winter semester and she sort of coaxed me into taking a summer course with her. I didn't know her all that well but she made a casual remark about going out sometime. She was sort of average looking but she had killer legs, long and thin. So I took the class with her. But then when school started she acted differently. She did sit next to me, but she basically ignored me. Before class and during breaks she would leave me alone and talk to other people. Well really the only reason I took that class was her, so after a couple of days when she did this I dropped the course and stopped going to class. Well a couple of days later she calls me at work all upset asking why I wasn't in class. I made up some story that my schedule had changed. I still can't figure out her to this day. That led to my third Mary of the summer, MaryAnne. So after I had dropped the class with MaryEllen, I still wanted to take a summer class so I signed up for a different one. I had missed a couple of classes because I had been in the other course, so I was a little behind. I recognized MaryAnne from another class I had taken in the past but I don't think I had spoken to her before. So I did the "I think we were in a class last semester, would you mind if I copied your notes for the class or two I missed" routine. She let me and soon we became classroom buddies. We exchanged phone numbers for classwork stuff. This class went from 8:30-11 at night, and we would walk to the parking lot after class. We parked on the other side of the campus so it was a long walk. I used to get to school before her, but she knew my car and she would look for my car when she arrived and would park next to me or as close as she could. I knew this could just be a class friends thing but I didn't know for sure. Each night after class we would walk to our cars. It was already 11 at night and she would hang out and talk with me for another 20 minutes sometimes about things in general. Well I thought I have to ask her out sometime, so I decided to do it after the last class. I said something like let's have a drink sometime to celebrate the end of the course. Well I got the classic "I'm busy indefinitely" response. I had to gve it a shot or I would never have known. So that was my summer of Marys, they came and went. But the following summer I took another class and after not seeing MaryAnne the whole year, she was in that class again. There were so many permutations of classes we could have taken, but somehow I knew she would be there.

My favorite album of theirs is "New Gold Dream 81/82/83/84". It is a very spiritual and religious album. I don't know about their faith but this album shows a cross with a heart at the center with an open book. I have to think that is a Christian symbol. I can listen to songs on this album like "Promised You A Miracle" and "Glittering Prize" and it lifts me to a higher spiritual level, at least for awhile. This is another song from the album called "Someone Somewhere in Summertime". These are the lyrics that I pay specific attention to in this song. I think I have an idea of what they mean.

My experience is that a lot of service people don't care or try, or are incompetent. Not all of course but many. I have been filling out these surveys honestly. If someone did a great job I say that. But also if they didn't I say that too. Like recently I was in Sears and there was nobody at the register. I waited patiently then this Indian girl came back to the register and ignored me. I politely asked if the register was open and she snapped at me that she was helping another customer. I looked around and whoever that was was not in sight. She then left to help this out of sight customer leaving me to wonder when she would return. She came back about 5 minutes later and was not particularly apologetic. I did then see the customer she was helping and it was an Indian guy. Was that the reason she was so rude? I don't know but I filled out the online survey. My comments were that maybe she was having a bad day but if not she shouldn't be in that job.

It is a very rich area and many of the people who work in stores are rich and just work to keep busy. This one cashier named Marcy has completely gray hair, actually it is mostly white hair. She is probably late 30s but could be ten years older or younger. The look of it is actually very attractive on her. She is also very skinny but not unhealthy looking. She talks very slowly like she is sedated but she is kind of friendly. Her manner of speech reminds me of someone on methadone, though I am not suggesting that is her deal. I just get the feeling that there is a whole lot of psychological stuff going on with her that turned her hair white, keeps her so skinny, and probably medicated. In other words, she is fascinating.

My total was $53 and I gave him three 20 dollar bills. I went back to bagging my groceries and I see him acting funny with the money like I had given him the wrong amount. He was looking at both sides of the bills, feeling them, holding them up to the light, etc. He thought they were counterfeit. I know stores do this sometimes with 50s and 100s but I have never seen this with 20s. I am guessing he just started there and was being super careful but meanwhile he is treating me like a suspected thief, with other people on the line watching him.

It had a garage that was in the lower part of the home and a concrete front porch that was about 7 feet over the garage. One day when I was 16, I got an idea to see if I could hoist myself up from the ground to the porch. So I got next to the brick wall on the left side of the house, reached up to grab the porch, and sort of 'walked up' the side of the building to hoist myself to the porch. I did it. There is something about doing a physical feat of some sort that gives you confidence that is hard to come by anyway else. Now back to my dream. I dreamt that I was back at my old house and under that porch once again. I wondered if I could hoist myself up again. I tried it and I did it.

I also understand that some people work for tips like waiters, and they also provide a personal service like not spitting in your food. Which brings me back to the newspaper carriers. One of my last carriers would frequently solicit tips yet seemed to go out of his way to put the paper in the worst locations like the snow in winter. I told the newspaper to either cancel my subscription or give me a new deliverer. They gave me a new carrier and he leaves the paper on the doorstep. Now less than a month later he left a tip envelope. I am not opposed to leaving a tip but after 3+ weeks? I am giving him $5 which is like a 30% tip for those few weeks. I hope he doesn't do his every month. My feeling is that if he took the job for tips that is his problem not mine.

When I complained, Verizon gave me a real hard time and was nasty about it too. I wrote a letter to the CEO of Verizon. I didn't get a letter back but shortly after I got a lot of phone messages from Verizon and they eventually gave me a refund. Now I get a notice in my last bill that a class action lawsuit about this practice was settled and you can apply for a flat $40 settlement. I am debating whether to put in a claim. They ask you to certify that you didn't get a refund but I don't think they check. I can justify in my mind that the aggravation and time I spent getting a refund is worth at least $40 so I just might claim that money. June 6th, 2012 14:41Other · June 5th, 2012 22:58 · 1 comment I had a mailman who delivered to my home from about 1995 to 2002. He might have been delivering before then but I first talked to him in 1995. He was a very nice guy. He got married in 2002 and soon after he left this route and I think he moved away or left the post office. Today the bell rang and the mailman had left a package and it was him again. He looked the same but a little grayer. He was returning to his truck so I didn't have a chance to talk to him. But it was definitely the same guy. When he got married I gave him some money as a gift and he left a thank you note with a wedding picture. I still have it and I checked it to see his name (Michael) which I had forgotten. I didn't know him very well but today it was like seeing an old friend from the past that I thought I would never see again.

If there is a triple crown, I want credit for bringing luck to the track. If not, please ignore this post.

Now I am not really certain that happened but the book has some interesting ideas. The book is fairly long but I think the two main concepts are these: 1) We create our own reality. I think that means that ultimately we create whatever it is we experience in life. Both the good and bad stuff is what we have attracted to us. The good stuff we like, but the bad stuff also is attracted to us for various reasons. It might be that there is a lesson we have to learn, or we need to experience something to make us stronger, more understanding, etc. By knowing that you create your own reality you know that you can ultimately change your circumstances . 2) Seth emphasizes "The point of power is in the present". I take that to mean that the past (and the future) do not determine your reality (what you experience). The past may seem to weigh you down but it only has as much influence on you as you allow it. Every present moment is another opportunity. I heard about this book at a lecture by the author Shakti Gawain. She wrote the book "Creative Visualization". She said that the Jane Roberts books influenced her own books. June 5th, 2012 01:24Other · June 4th, 2012 17:38 · 2 comments I have an electric lawnmower and hedge trimmer. I am pretty good with not cutting the cord with the lawnmower but I cut the cord with the hedge trimmer again. I even was thinking about being careful with the cord just before I cut it. I hate when that happens. June 4th, 2012 17:38Other · June 3rd, 2012 22:17 · 2 comments I had the TV on this morning in the background and one of the TV preachers was on, I think Charles Stanley. His topic was forgiveness. Sometimes when a topic crosses your mind you suddenly get presented with that topic in various media. Anyway he was talking about how to forgive someone if they have died. He had a suggestion which he said would work. His advice was to pull up a chair and face another chair as if that person was seated there and talk to that 'person' and forgive them and/or ask for forgiveness. He said it would work because you are really talking to God. I don't know if it works but it is an interesting suggestion.

The newspaper prints a couple of comments that they select from readers who posted them to stories on their website. Little achievements like this help me get confidence in my abilities.

I have followed this team since I was 13 and thought they would never have one. But everything has changed now. It's symbolic of something that you think you will never see in your lifetime, and then there it is. Maybe some other things I thought I would never see may also happen. Maybe.

I don't know if this was before, after, or during the wedding. Bride is on the left, nice backless gown on the girl next to her. I swear I don't even have to leave my house for some excitement.
