Painting

Grants,NM has an interesting Mayor. It seems he is mostly concentrating on painting buildings and structures to attract tourists. I'm wondering when he will get around to things we really need? Restaurants that are actually opened would be good. People need to eat! How about attending to the needs of our animals? The only animal park is always full of water. Nobody knows why. The animal shelter is overflowing with dogs and cats. I suppose they don't count because they don't pay taxes. There are a lot of things that need to be done for the people who actually live here before we concentrate on attracting tourists.

A joke

Well I held off checking my lottery numbers for as long as I could. When I did I wondered out loud if this was some kind of a joke. I didn't have one winning number. Maybe this was just a way to sell more tickets? Anyway I"m not falling for that again! If the universe has money for me they can find another way to give it to me.

Money money money

For the last week every other post on Facebook has said I will soon be getting mega bucks. Well I don't know where they would be coming from. I don't think anyone is going to just throw money my way. I am thinking if that were to happen the only way it could occur is if I bought a Power ball ticket and won. I don't see that happening but you never know. Someone has to win.Just to be safe I purchased a ticket this morning. You can't win if you don't play.

I am wondering what I would do if I came into a lot of money. It would be something I have never experienced in my life. Even the jobs I have held brought in very little money. Would I be happy rich? Maybe, Maybe not. I would probably give most of it away, judging by the way my life has gone so far.

Most of my relatives would be left out as they don't even communicate. My oldest son would benefit the most as he has always been available to help me out. What will happen is anyone's guess. It could be Facebook just wanted to be cute!

Karma

After all these years of fighting for my family to communicate I have decided to just let karma take care of them. I know what I did to help them and if they don't remember, oh well, there is nothing I can do. I really don't need the interference of those who weren't there to witness things first hand. There is one entity who knows the things I did and I will leave it at that. It's your turn karma!

Real dreams

Recently I read something that said that dreams can be real. Of course I thought, oh right, until this morning. I woke after having a dream that seemed so real, featuring someone who had died and I considered a soulmate. He appeared in my dream and it seemed so real. I wonder if it really was? I was recently given a memory of a past life when this man was my father. My mother had died in childbirth. We moved to a mountain somewhere. Later we both died in an avalanche. I don't expect to ever see him again in this life, but I don't know about the future. Perhaps he just stopped by to say hello?

One less

I just eliminated a so called friend from my Facebook family. Although I only met the woman a couple of times when I first moved to New Mexico she thinks she knows all about my life. She actually has no idea about the experiences I have had and therefore needs to keep her mouth shut. Even family members only know what affects them. So today I have one less friend on my friend list and that makes me happy. I don't need to put up with people who have no idea what they are talking about.

A New Book

A long time friend has decided to write a book, but she is having trouble getting started. I decided to help her and anyone else in the same boat by offering some suggestions.I never started out with the intention of being a writer, it just happened when the time was right. So these are my suggestions for my friend.

First begin with a working title. It can always be changed later. I always use my computer to write because it makes it simple to edit as you go. You need a strong first sentence to capture the attention of readers. You also need a good ending sentence to cause readers to think for themselves.

Now then, the first thing I would do is come up with a simple outline. Do you want to use chapters or just write as your words flow? I usually don't use an index because it takes up unwanted space. Always pay attention to messages that come out of the blue. They could be from your guide or soul mind, meant to help you. Another always is don't be afraid to use real life experiences to illustrate your thoughts. 

Read your work as a reader, not as a writer. If it doesn't make sense, change it. Just pretend you are talking to a friend. 

Those are my basic suggestions, now to see if she actually gets started with her book!
