How are you feeling?<\/p>\n

The way we feel, affects the way we think.\u00a0 Don’t you think?\u00a0 And it is all interwoven… with things like our past experience, or our physical condition, or our hope, our joy, our sadness.<\/p>\n

Consider this photograph.\u00a0 When you are driving down the road, and you see such a sight, any number of things may be going on in your mind.\u00a0 I can only speculate on the possibilities.<\/p>\n

I would guess that most people would say… “Oh what lovely fall colors.\u00a0 Look how the leaves are changing.”<\/p>\n

That’s probably a high percentage answer among the masses.<\/p>\n

Yet. Farmer-types may say something like… “I wonder when they are going to get those beans in?” (Those are soy beans for you city folk.\u00a0 Edamame for those who are City-City Folk.\u00a0 And the country folk are saying… “Who the heck is Etta Mommy?”)<\/p>\n

But I digress.\u00a0 Again. Dag nab it.<\/p>\n

Back to the car.\u00a0 And… we are driving….<\/p>\n

Some people may see such a scene and remark …”Winter is just around the corner.\u00a0 I hate the snow and ice.”<\/p>\n

It just depends on the person.\u00a0 In fact, it may even depend on the day….<\/p>\n

Yes.\u00a0 Thank goodness we are all different, and think our own thoughts.\u00a0 That is what makes us unique, and beautiful, no matter what we are contemplating.\u00a0\u00a0 It is simply how we are made.<\/p>\n

Now when I am driving down the road… I might see that Wall of this Spectacular…and think any number of things myself.\u00a0 And there again…. as I mentioned…. it may depend on any number of factors.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, I might have worried that the Giant Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man might be bounding over the horizon at any moment.\u00a0 THEN… who you gonna’ call?<\/p>\n

Or I could be wondering about all the little creatures living in that neighborhood of trees.\u00a0 The birds, bunnies, squirrel, deer, Sasquatch, raccoons, and such.<\/p>\n

Perhaps,\u00a0 I may not notice anything….. at all.\u00a0 I may be thinking… “Polly.\u00a0 Slow down, you move too fast.\u00a0 Got to make the morning last.\u00a0 Just kicking down the cobble stones. Gall darn it …. I’m looking for fun and feelin’ groovy.”<\/p>\n

\"staypuft\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Feeling groovy.<\/p>\n

Yes.\u00a0 What we think is affected by how we feel.\u00a0 I like to keep in the “Feeling Groovy” Zone.\u00a0\u00a0 Positive thoughts and outlooks are far more desirable in life… than the negative ones.<\/p>\n

And…. heaven only knows I don’t like worrying so much about the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.\u00a0 Think positive thoughts….\u00a0 Groovy.<\/p>\n

Beauty is when you can appreciate yourself. When you love yourself, that’s when you’re most beautiful.\u00a0 — Zoe Kravitz<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
