Swearing

I use profanity on occassion but I won't swear.

People swear on this & that. I feel like smacking people when they swear on their children's lives. Why the hell would I swear on a Bible?

What happens when something goes a bit off course? You swore on your parent's graves that you would not be late. As you are on the way, you are sideswiped & put off the road. What happens to the graves?

In some traditions we have to swear on the Bible.
"James 5:12
(12) But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by
heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let
your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation."

We swear on a book that preaches to us not to swear on material things. Tell that to your children as they are learning about Christianity. What would your response be if your child or grandchild or whatever were to pose this to you?

I use profanity on occassion but I won't swear.

Positive Thinking, not LOA.

I just read some of Chi's blog & this topic came up to which I was going to respond. Then I thought, wait a minute, I have my own blog.

Anyway, this film, The Secret has been turning some heads & some are, unknowingly being taught the secret will, not can, will change their lives for the better without affecting other people's lives.

People will do just that, sit around hoping things will soon be a lot better.

This film has been out now for a few months & I haven't heard or read about any miraculous changes in anyone's life due to this, Not one.

Now anyone who knows me hear or read my opinion on the way to achieve a better lifestyle & outlook on life. If there is any way possible I can turn something into a positive result, I'll do it. I look at tragedy as something to learn from. IMO, most of these occurences do indeed have a lesson to be learned by others or yourself.

The idea of thinking & acting positive is a little getting used to but it can be life altering through practice. Greet people as you walk pass them. Add a little smile. Thank you & you're welcome will come naturally over time. Hold doors open for people. Not just seniors or prominent individuals, anyone.

Think about it every now & then.

What I'm saying is similar to "The Secret". The law of attraction does work, in that smiling does catch on. Thank you will bring a you're welcome. How do we get a losing team to pick up their spirits? The more positive you behave, the more people will respond in kind.

The same works with negativeness. How do riots start? It's certainly not by the crown who is having a good time, enjoying the game, movie, concert & the like.

When you see the world as an opportunity, you will strive & look for these opportunities. When they arise you will answer the knock because you were listening for it. If you are thinking negatively you are looking for & expecting bad things so you will find these things or actions because you were looking for them.

Now, we cannot go around being all happy-like & ignoring life's real issues. We will always have bills to pay. The cost of living is going up. People get sick & people die. We all make mistakes. Natural disasters occur all around us. We deal with life as it happens. It's good to be prepared but not everything goes as planned.

We can however, look at theses real life issues as what they are. We learn from both the good & the bad. How does cursing & swearing help a situation. An even bigger situation when family is involved. When someone dies, we grieve. Then we, IMO, think about all the positive aspects of their past. The worst thing, IMO, one can do when visiting someone at the hospital is to say things don't look good. We don't talk about people dieing or becoming worse. We try & uplift a person's spirits.

When you are looking for a new job, for instance, do you look for the lowest paying job? Do you look for a job where you will be treated like crap? Do you try & work your way to the bottom of a company? I don't.
PEACE

Employment

Okay let's get down to business. I'm a Horticultural Technician with traing & 5 years experience as a landscaper. I am looking for a job. Something full time permanent.
I have the skills required for any landscaping or gardening job. I worked for 3 different companies in this field. The iniital experience is what got me into landscaping. I went to school to become a Horticultural Tech. & as soon as I graduated I went straight to work. 2 years went by without a raise. Minimum wage. I then went to Alberta for one season. Foreman. I've been working here in Bonavista since 2004.
I am very well rounded in the skills department. I've spent the past year doing mainly renovations & restoration. Most of my working life has been labourious work. I've spent several years doing custodial & mainteneance work. Lot's of construction experience as well as demolition. I have a diplomas for Small Engine Repair & I've done a bit of work in that field when required. I am computer savy.
I am really easy to get along with. I am pretty well educated in different fields. I am intelligent. I solve challenges very well. I am a very hard worker & I love to learn new skills. That is how I attained the skills I own. I communicate very well with co-workers & have dealt with the public quite a bit over the years.

If anyone is interested just give me a shout. I am working full time right now but, I'm not in my field so I would like to work at horticulture.

Later.

I may just have it.

Ah, the weather is becoming windier & colder. I go to work at the cape in the morning & come home in the evenings looking at the whitecaps on the water. West & northwest winds all week. We couldn't work on the west facing roof for fear of being blown over.
This should be fun.

Hello Again

I had little satisfaction with my initial attempt. I will now begin anew.

These are images of what is referred to as Manson.

In '95 he chose us to provide for him.

We believe, in a former life he was a sentry of sorts.

This is HIS chosen cozy corner.

He knows what the situation is at all times.

Manson is always making his rounds.

He can hear any sound whatsoever on our property.

You can't tell what he's thinking.

What mood is he thinking about.
Manson, "Charlie or Marilyn?".

We are very well protected.

Sometimes, Manson gets a little too protective!

Allright, he's letting me know that's enough.

Gotta go people.

See you on the flipside.

:PEACE:

NOW!

I will now attempt to post some images.

This is Manson.

<

He knows! He always knows.>>

Wow. Am I here yet?

I think I'll have a look around. Lots of space.

Well. 1st post. Hello people. Don't mind me. Just getting used to the place.

Now I gotta figure out the images part. Later.

:peace:
