You can choose to be miserable OR happy wherever and whatever you are. So does that mean we could be cheap drunks??? I do insist on tasting Bollonger (if that is how you spell it)once in my life.

Can't wait for my trip to the Bahamas. Last invitation I knew was for my old (and very spinster!) friend who'd been invited by Princess Margaret to share her (own) island in the Caribbean (after she had taught me to emphasise the RIBB part of Caribbean!) Friend wouldnt go bec Pr Margt was always so self centred and demanded high entertainment, with lots of the then becoming naughty assistants to get high... I still prefer those areas U call intangible for my best highs! Yippee ! Can’t wait for my trip to the Bahamas.

I am sharing my own turbulations here without any suggestion that this is the truth or how it is for everybody. If something hits me, I share it here. As you might have noticed lots of things hit me and if it resonates with you than that is great. What hit me this time was by looking at other people without judgement but seeing how they get themselves in some kind of negative spin about things had me reflect back about where that could happen to me. It offered a learning moment for me. And if you don't want to behave undesirable in my company, great. I can learn from good behaviour too. I do appreciate your contributions, so thanks very much for caring to share. love Wilma Thanks everybody for their comments via email about this observing business.

And I noticed when I do that it still doesn't give me a lot of insight how I could do things differently. When we are so bold and courageous to say the poetic (well done poet Zac) "Oi others - what do you see is so in me" they have to be courageous and loving as well to come forth with their views.

This concept of seeing things, either positive or negative, in others is also called projection - yeah? I suppose the other thing is if we can see what is 'so' in others perhaps they can see what is 'so' in us...SO...we could be bold and courageous and say "Oi others - what do you see is so in me?!"
