Journal Entry #11

Feb 21st, 2013

Had another rough night in the sleep department last night! This complicates the functions of the next day!

Today due to the forgoing was a bit of a grind! However I'm now headed towards when my head hits the pillow and judging from the weight of my eyelids right now I am fairly certain sleep is not going to be an issue tonight!

Tonight's supper is quarter chicken dinner Home Style! I will probably eat mine later as my kids going to Skype soon and then I have to go to the barn!

I didn't get to eat this last night so it's in the fridge and maybe it will be supper tonight!

Hey Kelsey did Skype and it was totally awesome! It was so good to see my kid! She and her friend were homesick at the start of the conversation however this improved as the conversation went on and it should all be good!

Have you ever heard of Ho’oponopono? A very cool friend of mine shared it with me yesterday! At first I thought she’d lost her marbles! Then I decided to question what she was saying and discovered that this is pretty cool! It can add into so nicely to how I have been trying to live my life and very likely move these efforts to the next level!

Here is my first Ho’oponopono Exercise as I understand it in a very limited way!

I am responsible for the fact that I am over weight! I am sorry for the lifestyle I have chosen, and what I eat that makes me over weight.

I am responsible for the fact that I am selfish and short sighted! I am sorry for the choices that I have made that have complicated the perfect scenario of leaving my life in Gods control and administration.

I am responsible for the fact that I am the world’s best procrastinator! I am sorry for the times when I choose to leave for tomorrow what should be done today.

Please forgive me! Mean it and say it over and over! Remember to forgive means to forget and if you don’t forget its not forgiving!

Thank you: (What if today you woke up and all you had left was what you had thanked God for yesterday!) Here are is the thanks I feel a need to express this morning!

a)      Thanks for today! I promise to use today more wisely than I did yesterday!

b)      Thanks for my children and the choices they have made to have God in their lives.

c)       Thanks for family, friends, friends who are family and family who are friends!

d)      Thanks for co-workers who are friends!

e)      Thanks for new contracts, thanks for the fact that two months into the year I am already at ⅓ of my year’s target! In fact just this week I have received two new contracts!

f)       Thanks for more opportunities than I think I have ever had before!

g)      Thanks for my car! (I know it’s getting old, but it’s been very good to me and so I want to express my gratitude!)

h)      Thanks for the natural abundance I have been blessed with as a result of my situation. (I have a good job for a good employer, I work hard, and my wife works hard! I am glad that this now manifests itself in the comfort of our situation.)

i)        Thanks goodness I was born and raised Canadian in a God fearing home!

Hey that just scratches the surface but it’s all for this journal entry and I will add more to others in the future.

I love my self-enough to make wise and prudent decisions in every aspect of my life! Where I happen to struggle is in learning to Love my God more than myself! If I do this then I will learn to Love myself enough to realize there is nothing better for me than to leave the running of my life in God’s hands! Then the next step is to learn to Love others the way God loves me! “Pure unselfish, thoughtful Love that savours Lord of Thee!”

The following is a cool little motivational thing shared the other day on Facebook and I liked it and wanted to share it here too!
