KARMA.......................................




I actually strongly believe in Karma.....you know the old American saying "what goes around....comes around."  Unfortunately, even though I strongly believe in this concept...often I fail in controlling my actions in a positive way.  Fear shown as anger is my downfall....as well as anger shown as an uncontrolled reaction.  I've know this about myself forever and to this day am still working on this part of my behavior.  Not proud of it...but it just is....perhaps before I meet my Maker.... I will get this figured out......I hope so.

What is your concept of Karma and what is your behavior that stands in your way of right thought and right action?

Just curious.

from me to you,
Jo

    I believe that for every action there is a reaction. But it is up to me to control the reaction. The hardest thing for me is to channel love when beset with anger. Have a peaceful day.

    I've always believed that 'what goes around comes around', maybe not in this lifetime, but it will catch up to you in the end.

    Treat others like you would want them to treat you. I truly believe if you are kind to someone you will be treated kindly by, if not that person, someone else! I don't always respond to someone's meanness with kindness....sigh.

    I think that most people have some problems or brokenness so I tend to be kind. A receptionist told me on Tuesday thank you for being so nice and for not blaming her for something beyond her control. I was glad she appreciated me!

    I am very reactionary...I am trying to learn to slow down a bit...lol very hard for me...especially when people treat me badly when I have done nothing wrong...I tend to want karma to act more like revenge but I know that is not good for me to think that way....


    Very good post...lots of food for thought..
    Love that Wayne Dyer quote...:) I am going to steal it from you...:)

    I have a tendency to become very ferocious when someone is not treating others I know with respect. I can handle however they treat me - but don't mess with a friend or family or an old person or an animal or a child. And a lot of times it's really not my place but I'm right in there.

    Yes, I do believe Atmosphere and Actions have a strong impact on Destiny and our Path, so I too strongly believe in Karma... you get back what you put out and expect. The biggest obstacle can often be other people for me. I have an unfortunate tendancy to allow the behavior and emotions of others to influence my day... when it absolutely shouldn't. Because in my head and Heart I know that I can only "allow" their attitude and actions to interfere with the Atmosphere and Actions I prefer... and certainly I have a choice to not engage or allow bad Karma of others to negate the good Karma I want to surround myself with. Thought provoking Post... I am trying not to let drama or the toxic energy of others to pollute my atmosphere and get a reaction out of me that is not positive.

    Blessings and Good Karma coming at you from the Arizona Desert... Dawn... The Bohemian

    Hi,
    I love the photographs on your sidebar, your blog is lovely. I too believe in Karma, God's divine justice and you reap what you sew. It's hard sometimes not to fight back when you have injured. But sure enough if you wait it out you will learn that God was watching and divine justice was had. I think believing in Karma helps you to stay mindful.

    Lovely to meet you.

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right after the war...when I was quite young.  Memories are almos

PUTTING ON MY GYPSY SHOES......................

Bo Bunny Paper Collection Well.......the coach is packed...the laundry done in the condo....and we will be on our way tomorrow. I often do feel like a gypsy moving from one spot to another....and each year my gratitude grows as I am able to continue this lifestyle. I truly would love to "do up" my coach in Gypsy Style...but alas....not too practical as things probably would be flying all over as we traveled down the road.  (O: But.....a girl can dream.....can't she? ~~~ My suitcase is packed with memories To be opened further down the road When my caravan must be halted The bag waits to be opened Stories to be told and shared Like the gypsy's of so long ago But for now....the wheels keep turning And my case grows larger still Waiting for the day..I must be stopped   And my heart, to the brim, will be filled Hugs from me to you, Jo Gypsy photos:  Electric Gipsyland on Flickr

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is a picture of our little tree this year.  Each year our trees seem to be smaller, a function of our getting older and just wanting to deal with less stuff.  I'm sure a few of you feel them same.  Although it does seem to be a little weird that we want to deal with fewer Christmas decorations and give each other MORE STUFF in the way of presents under the tree.   Ahhh...being human is such a quandary sometimes!                                          MERRY CHRISTMAS                                                          Jo
