“He drew a circle that shut me out-
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
But love and I had the wit to win:
We drew a circle and took him In!”

Everything is energy and that's all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. This is not philosophy. It is physics.

My grandmother and grandfather were a hoot. Grandpa was laid back, spoiled his grandchildren, and drank a bit. Grandma, loved her grandchildren, but was more of a disciplinarian. I always laugh when I think of what she frequently said to my grandfather
"Harry, you know I don't 'low no got d#*m cussing in my house!"

All I want for Christmas are notes from my children thanking me and joining me in thanking our God for all the things this family has been blessed with.

Don't worry or obsess over what you can't control.

Irene, in my case, I only seem to be as happy as my least happy child. If they are struggling with something in their lives, I end up commiserating with them which tends to bring me down a notch or two...
