OPPORTUNITIES

Whenever we decide that we want things to be different from now on, we have to do something about 'now'. If we take care of the 'now', the 'on' becomes far more likely to take care of itself. Just waiting for tomorrow to arrive won't make the difference. Another good way to change the future is to rewrite the story of the past. Our memories of history shapes our expectations and choices. If we can forgive and move on from a tough yesterday, we become much more able to create a happier life. Much will inspire you.There is nothing to nervous you.We have been talking  about excuses, explanations and justifications. I have been pointing out how we are much more likely to accept the ones we give ourselves and more suspicious of those others give to us. So, when we, in turn, want others to understand our reasons, we may be hoping for a lot. Few and far between are the folk who are wise and patient enough to give careful, objective, consideration to all they are told. If you want to be properly heard, try to be a good listener!
Even a tiny ray of sunshine can illuminate a vast dark cavern. The smallest drop of perfume can permeate an entire theatre. A little pebble tossed upon the surface of a lake, can create ripples that extend to far distant shores. And what can one small gesture of trust, faith and loyalty accomplish? You will find that out for yourself. But here is a both a clue and a piece of encouragement. It can counteract and neutralise an almost overwhelming amount of ill will and unnecessary negativity.
 Whatever our wisdom teeth give us, it isn't wisdom! There simply is no practical purpose for these additional molars. They were once a form of dental insurance for our cave and tree dwelling ancestors. In the days before processed food, the ability to chew was vital. So mouths were designed with replacement parts to cover loss or injury. Now what is the reason for the human capacity to worry endlessly and needlessly? Even if there was one once, there isn't one now. And there certainly isn't one for you.
Guardian angels, we are told never rest, they toil tirelessly to protect their charges. Though there may be some trials and tribulations that they are unable to avert, we can rest assured that they will always do everything within their power to help us - and that their powers are fairly extensive! So, if all that is true, where is your angel's contract of employment? Indeed, where is your angel? Both are invisible but that doesn't mean they don't exist.
Some people don't like mirrors. They are critical of their own appearance. Others, even without any more aesthetically pleasing features, take pleasure in their reflection. Much the same can be said about how we start to feel when we reflect on the decisions that we have made in the past. Some are full of regret but many find a way to convince themselves that they did the best thing at every turn and can thus expect to keep making excellent decisions. Don't let vanity be your only informant.
The illusionist bows to the audience. Then he walks over to the large wooden box and opens the door. His sequined assistant steps inside. He proceeds to plunge some extremely sharp knives through the container. The audience is horrified. Are they not watching a most brutal murder take place? Oblivious to their horror, he continues with other tricks, until eventually, the assistant manifests. Don't attempt that particular trick . But do look for a triumph where you had been led to expect a disaster. While it may be always wise to put something aside for a rainy day, you don't need to fill a warehouse full of umbrellas - even if you plan to sell them the next time it rains. You would do better if, instead of speculating on the weather, you banked on the certainty of uncertainty. You could sell lots of umbrella storage spaces in that warehouse and be confident that you would never run short of folk who felt they needed to be better prepared. No matter who may feel insecure, there's no need for you to feel that way. 
'Singing a song in the morning, Singing it again at night, I don't even know what I'm singing' about but it makes me feel I feel all right...' This ditty by Kevin Ayers may appear trite but like so many of his compositions they have an edge of poignant irony. Isn't that what we all do to keep the blues at bay? And is it not true too, that even if we don't know why we are doing it, we somehow benefit from undergoing the exercise? Just keep doing what you normally do this weekend. You won't just feel all right, things will be all right. 
There always two sides to every story and there are two sides to every coin. To every situation there is an upside and a downside and the two are inextricably linked. It's hard to have one without the other. That means, if you are seeing the advantage, you need to be gently aware of where the potential disadvantage is hiding. And if you are dealing with the drawback, you just need to start looking for the circumstances under which this can be turned into a valuable asset. You can turn a situation right round,Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes, was perfectly willing to believe in fairies. He once wrote about them for a magazine and illustrated this with a photograph taken by two young ladies from Cottingley. It was the subject of controversy and many years later, the girls (now old ladies) confessed that they had faked them. Does that prove that every fairy is a fake? Many take refuge in scepticism but it provides them with the bleakest form of psychological shelter. Let a little more colour into your life, do the right things and live a peaceful life.
