WHAT HAPPENED
Tuesday Oct. 4, 2016
What comes before, or after, anything?
Nancy Lowery asks, “what happened just before what happened, happened?”
We might delight or regret joys we didn’t expect, compliments and good fortune – which can come about just as randomly as anything carefully planned. Something else, aside from what you expected, will happen. Best be watching – it would be shame to miss it.
What matters isn’t so much what happens in our lives, but how we see what happens in our lives – how we choose, think and act – owning responsibility for our lives. Owning outcomes not derived from birthright, birthplace or formative years – rooted in free will. Our will. Our view, no déjà vu.
Long range planning – myths about process, whereby we believe we can calculate how we will feel, act and live at some point on a calendar. Ha!

GRATITUDE ATTITUDE
You know, I felt some sort of calm before I opened Musings this morning & here you have a great idea that seems to fit right in. Now to just remember to think of things to be grateful for as I roll out of bed. Thanks Mark, have a great day, MC, Bottrel, AB
Perfect. On my way to work (and subsequently reading your email) this was exactly the lesson I told our 10 year old on the way to school.“Do you know why daddy is never in a bad mood?, PVG, Calgary, AB
Glad you got to hug those grandbabies .. they grow up far too quickly. EVERYONE is missing your Gusta walk comments … is leaving her out of your Musings part of the new way of doing things? If so, I for one, among many – obviously – wish you wouldn’t!!, BR, Calgary, AB
