The 3 Breaths
"When I start to feel like poo, I seek a God's eye view!"
"When I start to feel like poo, I seek a God's eye view!"
Humor is a high level approach to life's experiences. –Eric Butterworth
The psalmist says, "He who sits in the heavens laughs."
Impatient? Try levitating
Impatience with other people is one of my principal failings. Following a slow car in a no passing lane, or waiting in a restaurant for the check, drive me to distraction. Before I give God a chance to slow me down, I explode, and that's what I call being quicker than God. That repeated experience gave me an idea. I thought if I could look down on these events from God's point of view, I might better control my feelings and behavior. I tried it and when I encountered the next slow driver, I levitated and look down on the car and upon myself. I saw an elderly couple driving along, happily chatting about their grandchildren. They were followed by me-bug eyed and red of face-who had no time schedule to meet anyway. I look so silly they drop back into reality and slow down. Seeing things from God's angle of vision can be very relaxing. –Daily Reflections, Alcoholics Anonymous, June 10

I always say to myself, what is the most important thing we can think about at this extraordinary moment. –R. Buckminster Fuller
There are times when life seems much more fulfilling and exciting than usual. Conversations with other people are interesting, almost without exception. We are stimulated by sights, sounds, and events that at other times have seemed completely mundane.
The difference is not in the interactions or occurrences, but in the level of our enthusiasm. When we are enthusiastic, our minds are unclouded and our vision is clearly focused. We are better able to absorb, understand, and appreciate what is going on around us. There is always something new to explore and enjoy.
At home or at work, our enthusiasm brings about deeper appreciation for family members and friends. We listen to their ideas and opinions in an entirely different way.
When we are enthusiastic, we expressed positive energy that is often contagious. Aren't easy as I'm cannot only transform ordinary goings-on into richly rewarding experiences, but can also bring about a similar attitude and those around us.
If we can remain enthusiastic today, we will be alert and open to pleasures we might otherwise miss. As we respond enthusiastically to this day, so will we derive joy and satisfaction as it unfolds.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY: When I am enthusiastic there is always something new to explore and enjoy. –A New Day, July 18th

Here is how you may enter the womb of God and be reborn: Get still and quiet by relaxing the mind and body. Detach yourself from the old way of thinking and form a new concept or estimate of yourself. Imagine and feel the reality of the new ideal; live with it; envelop it in love; then the ideal will be resurrected in you, and you will become a changed man. –Joseph Murphy, Peace Within Yourself, Pg. 57
My father is greater than I. –John 14:28. This means that the creator is always greater than his creation. The thinker is greater than his thoughts. The artist is greater than his art. Our consciousness is greater than its conception. Knowing this, we realize we have the power to transcend our present concept of ourselves for there is no end to our unfoldment. –Joseph Murphy, Peace Within Yourself.
Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life. –Philippians 4:6-7
Keep alive the commitment to the view from the top. Keep centered in the feeling of Thanksgiving. It is not just to be grateful for a loving friends, for an affluence of wonderful things, and for the divine order and everything that happens in your life. It is so much more. You are grateful from the route of reality that is evidenced by these things. Your Thanksgiving is more than a response to what is happening around you or to you. It is a celebration of truth, which becomes a casual assurance of a continuity of blessings, leading toward prosperity for you. –Spiritual Economics, Eric Butterworth, Pg. 98
Photographers look at subjects from many angles. They move right, left, up, and down. They crawl on the ground and climb onto objects to see things differently. These artists let their curiosity be their guide. They reveal life in unique and beautiful ways.
I tap into my curiosity with the intention to explore new perspectives. When I prepare to meet someone or try a new activity, I approach the encounter with wonder. From the most routine situation to complex life choices, curiosity helps me find the best solution.
I open my heart and mind to see beyond what I already know and expect. In this place of openness, my good is limitless.
Who does great things beyond understanding, and marvelous things without number.—Job 9:10

Joke of the Day
An old lady was using a weed-whacker. Her cat was hiding in the bushes and she accidentally cut off her tail. The woman scooped up the cat and it's severed tail and yelled, "Help! Someone bring me to WalMart right away!"
Her friend looked out her door and said, "WalMart?, Why do you want to go there?"
The old lady replied, "Well, they tell me that WalMart is one of our nation's biggest re-tailers?!"
