Change, all kinds of...Good topic and well written. Change, all kinds of dynamics, wins, loses, highs, and lows, but no matter what, always knowing it is what it is (I've heard folks say they hate to hear it is what it is, but I go with it)....always knowing it is as it is and dealing with it as it is as appropriate as possible without letting it getting one, me, down, keeps me going and going with a positive outlook. I so remember that evening before my open heart surgery when a friend let me take him out to dinner. I had been told so many times I was gonna get scared and it wasn't normal not to be scared. I had began to wonder when the shoe was gonna drop and I'd have fear. I wasn't the least bit fearful. But, wondering if it would happen like those around me said it would, the greedy part of me hoping some of that always so positive attitude could maybe rub off on me. That night as we ate dinner, talked, he told me about a tragic true story. I finally straight out asked him how he does it, maintains that always so positive attitude. His words back to me, so simple, but so profound, at least to me, were "Its all attitude". I had the attitude, just needed to have that reminder. That attitude had brought santosha to me. I knew I had santosha. Sometimes I wondered if I really had santosha. I decided when I got to the operating table I would find out. Arriving at the "Table" would be the test, as in, was I really so content I was even ready to die when the time comes as I think I am. Yep, when they moved me from the gurney onto the "Table", I was completely calm and confident. It is attitude, at least to me. Yes, like my friend said, "It is all attitude". I admire you, good friend. ...Barry :)<br /> Cecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13872453690855635994noreply@blogger.com
