Redwolf's blog: "On going thoughts "

Generally, I don't believe in the idea of a "quick fix" or instant gratification, but I have to say I was intrigued when I ran across an article about "7 Ways to Make Yourself Happier in the Next Hour." The author spent a year testing out the various theories of current scientific studies on happiness, and came up with seven points. Each of them can help lift your mood and give you a sense of accomplishment. I wanted to share them with you, Aaron, so you can try them out for yourself. The idea is to try to do as many of them as you can in an hour. Boost your energy by getting up and moving around. Taking a brisk ten-minute walk is best, because when you are moving faster, your metabolism speeds up and the activity is good for your focus and mood and helps you retain information. Reach out to friends. Arrange a lunch date or send an email to someone you haven't seen for a while. Socializing boosts moods and having close bonds with others is one of the keys to happiness. Get an old task out of the way. If you've been procrastinating about a chore, tackle it now. Like making that doctor or dental appointment, or arranging to get broken equipment fixed. You'll feel a sense of relief and a burst of energy. Create a calmer environment. Just clearing some space around you, or getting things in order will give you a sense of serenity. Plan some future fun. Decide to get to that new movie, or order a book you've been wanting to read, or plan an activity with friends or family. Having fun on a regular basis is necessary to happiness, and anticipation is a part of that. Do a good deed. Something as simple as holding a door for someone or offering praise can help, because the adage "do good, feel good" really works. Act happy. Smile! Just going through the motion of happiness lifts your spirits and makes you more approachable. So, everyone, why not give it a try – and get happy! Until next time

Excerpts from Seneca Wisdomkeeper Edna Gordon's VOICE OF THE HAWK ELDER: ~*~ I BELIEVE in another world, a better world. I believe in many worlds, as many worlds as there are places to put'm in all of Creator's Creation. ~ Creation's much much bigger than we think. It's so big the whole sky full of stars is just a tiny part of it. ~ Creation's not just out there-- it's here inside of ourselves, too. Each one of us IS a universe. Every molecule, every atom is a Universe, a World with still other Worlds inside o' that. That's how Creation IS! It's so big in so many ways you and I can't even dream of it all. ~ BE A SHARER, be a giver, be a helper and the whole of Creation opens up around and over you, like an Umbrella Tree. All of Creation is like an Umbrella Tree we live under--really, inside of, 'cause we ourselves our part of it! ~ That's the most wonderful thing of all, that we ourselves--even our selfish little selves--are part of that World, of that Creation, of that Umbrella Tree, of that Holy Mystery! ~ Yep, that's the greatest thing of all, even if we go our whole lives and never even know or realize it's so. Whatever this great Holy Mystery is, we--each and every one of us--are part of that Holiness. Be thankful for that. ~ Stop askin' for little things. Just be grateful for that Big Thing. So send out a big thanks to Creation for makin' YOU part of Itself!

There is a place where you are not alone, where your voice sings with every voice that has ever sung, or will ever sing. In this place you know that no encounter was ever wasted and that no face passed you by unnoticed in the crowd. Here you are allowed to choose again, and in this time you decide not to discount or overlook anyone. You move quickly past no one merely to get to someone else who pleases you more. Now you cannot see a single one you do not welcome, and in the harmlessness of your vision, all return your gentle gaze.

I have a new site I would like to share with you all it is a very important topic to all of us that are on a spiritual path this is my site and I am helping a friend get her important message out to you all who will take the time to read it Http://www.lookingbackwoman.com

TWO WOLVES One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between 2 wolves. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf wins?" The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

A Native American grandfather was talking to his grandson about how he felt .He said "I feel as if i have two wolves fighting in my heart .One wolf is the vengeful ,violent one and the other one is the loving compassionate one" .The grandson asked him " Witch one will win the fight in your heart?"The grandfather answered " the one I feed " BlackHawk
