Since the summer vacation started, I have been chased around by my little play-with-me-monster. I love her so much and I appreciate her to show her interest in playing with me. However, I started feeling overwhelmed, to be honest. 

I thought back of my elementary school days. The environment and the situation of mine and hers are totally different.

I never chased after my mom asking to play with me. I never did because I didn’t need to.

I had other playmates. My brother is only 13 months apart from me, and we grew up together like twin siblings. I always had him to hang around. Besides, I had several classmates who lived in our neighborhood.

There was a playground in our small community. Even we didn’t have a promise to meet up there, we naturally gathered up there and played baseball together.

Our town was close to beach. We could walk to the beach with 10 minutes walking. Sometimes we gathered up into a 5 – 6 classmates and went to the beach together. We run around on the beach. We explored the tetrapods, which are four-legged concrete made structures used to prevent coastal erosion. We even swam in the ocean without adult surveillance.

Our town also had a small swamp. It was a fun playground for us too. We gathered up there and enjoyed fishing. We didn’t need to have any store bought fishing poles. We found a twig and tied a small fish as a fishing bait with a string. We used to get a whole bunch of crayfish.

I hope my daughter will find some fun exploring on her own way, but always in a safe way.

Two week ago, in the morning, we saw smoke coming from the back of the TV monitor. We quickly unplugged the monitor so that the smoke stopped. We were lucky enough to be there. Otherwise, it could have caused a fire on the entire house.

We received this TV monitor as the Christmas gift from my parents-in-law. We have used it for six years or so. It is a 50-inch monitor.

I thought it was not repairable. I thought we would have to buy a new one. When I researched the same type of monitor in online shops, the price was about $500. I was upset about this unexpected expenditure.

My husband stayed calm. He said he might be able to repair it. He has 10-years job experience as a vehicle mechanic, and currently works as an IT guy. He is a professional repair man. I almost forgot about that.

He found the cause of the smoke. There was a burnt mark on the circuit board. We contacted the manufacture and got the information of the required part.

We bought the replacement of the diode. It cost us about $4.00 including shipping fee. Actually the part itself cost $1.00, and the shipping fee cost $3.00.

With the replacement part, my husband fixed the TV monitor.

I was so amazed at his ability. In the past, he fixed our washing machine too.

It is very cost effective to have a professional repair man in my family.

This evening when we went for a walk, the sky and clouds were beautiful. They were definitely artworks that spirits created on the canvas of sky.

I updated one picture that looked like a feather. This is just one example.

The entire sky was filled with great artworks.

Today was my 60th day attainment of my muscular training. I started the daily basis training since March 28th.

I am proud of myself keeping the promise to myself. I made it every day for 60 days.

The 60 days went by naturally and quickly. It definitely worth the payment. If I didn’t purchase his training package, I would have spent the 60 days, same as before, without daily basis training.

As for the result, I haven’t made any drastic record. The first day I weighed 138.6 lbs. with the body fat of 34.6%. Today on my 60th day I weigh 134.6. lbs. with the body fat of 31.2%. I am not competing with anybody. It might not be a great number yet, but my motivation does matter in my daily life.

My goal is to reduce my weight to 122 lbs. with the body fat of 28%. I know I can attain my goal eventually as long as I keep making my efforts every day.

The trainer sent out the congratulations video. In the video, he said today is the congratulations day but also the start day for even more. I agree with him. This is not the last. I will keep doing good exercise every day for further many more years.

This morning’s dream was vivid and fun.

In my dream, at the beginning, I had a vision of my adventure. I clearly had my vision in details, on the place where I wanted to reach.

In my vision, I saw a map. It showed at the current location and my goal. I wanted to go there without any detour. I drew my itinerary in my mind.

When I started walking toward my goal, I felt I needed my travel companion. As soon as I clearly visualize myself happily and exchanging opinions with my travel companion, one man showed up.

I told him about my adventure and goal, and asked him if he wanted to join me. He said “of course”. He was a cheerful young man. He had positive feeling about my adventure. All of them helped me keep being motivated.

We walked until the sunset. We needed to have a safe place for the night. Same as last time, we visualized the place that we could have a healthy supper along with a safe place to sleep. Soon, a cozy house showed up in front of us.

We knocked the door. One middle aged woman answered our knocking. We told her if we could stay at her place for the night. She told us if we could entertain her, she would. My travel companion and I started singing and dancing. She loved our performance and welcomed us to stay at her place.

She already cooked healthy meals and shared them with us. She decided to join us in our adventure.

Next morning the three of us walked together. It was fun to share our knowledge thorough our conversation. We hit the point where we needed to have a 4WD ride to go through the rough off-roads. There were steep up-and-down hills. Again, we visualized clearly in details about the vehicle we wanted. Soon, a vehicle store showed up in front of us. 

We asked the price of the jeep, the store owner said it was $7,700. None of us had any money. The store owner pointed out the fabric that the hotel owner tied around her waist. She said she weaved the fabric on her own. She offered the fabric to the car store owner. He liked the fabric so much and offered the jeep to us as an exchange. He also liked us very much and decided to join us in our adventure.

Thus, the four of us, the travel companions made to our adventure goal together.

***

Then I woke up from my dream.

I knew the reason why I had this dream. This is just a metaphor. The similar things can happen in the real life. All we need to do is to visualize in details about what we desire. Once it shows up in front of us, we can receive the gift with appreciation.

Today was the last day of the school for my daughter.

When I was waiting at the bus stop after school, I saw her walking toward me crying. It was heartbreaking to watch my daughter crying.

Before even asked the reason, I knew why she was crying. She was crying for her best friend.

Today was the last day for her best friend to come to the school. From the next school year, she is going to a different school . Her parents bought a house in the next city in last April. It was inevitable for her to move the school to the closest one.

My daughter liked her best friend very much. I too I liked her very much. I was happy for them to be trustworthy friends to one another.

I hope they will find another trustworthy friends in the upcoming new school year.

This morning I woke up at 5 am. Amazingly I could wake up naturally without the help of the alarm.

I work up early because I wanted to go to the grocery store while not being crowded by many other customers.

While I was putting the contact lenses on, my left contact lens slipped off from my finger. I searched around but could not find it.

During searching, I felt the feeling that my family spirits did not want me to wear contact lenses today. The reason is obvious. I often have headache after wearing contact lenses. Tomorrow I will need to drive for a long hour for my important appointment. I cannot get sick this afternoon or tomorrow.

So, I told my family spirits. “Okay, I get it. Thank you for your support. I am not going to wear contact lenses today so that I won’t get sick this afternoon. Now, please let me find my lost contact lens.”

Within two seconds, I found my lost contact lens.

Weird… I already searched the area many times before. It was as if my contact lens was there all the time, but there was a veil to hide it from me.

Nowadays when I open the news page, the first news that pops into my eyes are the news of somebody’s death.

The news of somebody’s death is not new. It is always there. People die and born. It is natural.

My attention has been changed. I am more focused on people’s death than before, because I have started thinking about my own death.

More specifically, I have started thinking about my old days and how I want to leave this physical form at the end. That is why I have been interested in the story on how people leave this physical form.

I believe my desire counts. My desire creates my future as I want. So, I have started visualizing my future clearly.

My future vision is like this.

I will keep on doing good walking and exercise every day. It will built up good muscle in my body. The good muscle in my body maintains good energy in my mind and spirit.

When I turn to my 70-s and 80-s, I will still keep my daily routine of good walking and exercise.

Even if I stumble over something and fall down, I will be able to stand back up with my own muscle.  My bones will be strong. I will make my surrounding people surprise at my high energy in my old ages.

***

The other day while I was walking, I heard my family spirits told me that my current health issue of diabetes is a true blessing.

I am still in my 40-s. In this young age, I had fully recognized how important to invest in my good health of my future.

All my daily efforts are the investments for my future, to make my desire come true.

I received a wonderful surprise. One of my old friends gave me a call. We haven’t talked each other since our last get-together; last December.

We enjoyed our conversation to catch up with one another’s recent life.

She had been in the hospital for a while. She accidentally stumbled on her dog and fell. That caused her hip bone broken.

She told me she experienced and learned a lot during her stay in the hospital. There were many people there, and each person has their unique life story. She saw some patients being mean to others because of their pain, while others being thankful to others regardless of their pain.

We cannot judge people from only one aspect. The people acting mean to others might have good reasons to be mean. The other people acting thankful to others might have good reasons to be kind for some reasons that we don’t know.

One thing for sure though, is that the people who always being thankful to others seem to look happy and bring more good luck than the other people who are opposite.

I believe our thought is one of our habits. We can change the tendency of our thoughts.

First, we need to pay attention to our tendency of our thoughts. Then, change it to our preferable one. Once we get used to have a tendency of our thoughts in positive way, it will stay like that.

I bought some pretty clothes and dresses for my daughter. She was so happy for her new outfits.

She tried on one of her new dresses and started twirling. Her energy was twinkling and beautiful. So, I started recording a video of her dancing.

Then something wonderful happened.

A whole bunch of light beings started joining her. They looked like snow. It was really beautiful.

I got a happy goosebumps all over my body. It is a sign that happy spirits were with us.

I wanted to try myself too. I asked my daughter to record a video of me dancing. In my video, though, there were no light orbs surrounded me.

We took it as a sign that the happy spirits showed up for my daughter. The happy spirits love her very much for her pure and fun energy.
