This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for November 21, 2008:
Why more people don't choose good?
It's so easy to me to be loving, supportive, helpful, respectful, understanding, positive and optimistic...and I just wonder sometimes when I watch how people interact...a SUV woman getting flipped off as I u-turn out of the Whole Foods Market parking lot to see a Ford Pick-Up woman be so incensed that another woman didn't give her the right-of-way, of which she had none anyway coming out of a driveway into traffic (the other woman was in traffic already). The flipped woman's face contorted to one of hate and anger immediately. I thought to myself, why take so much energy to do that and to be so hateful to another human being about something so insignificant. Doesn't that take a lot of energy to act that way, getting yourself in a fluster, being on tilt. Then I wondered how long she holds onto that feeling, how many times a day, a month, a year, a lifetime. Is it worth it?
That was my wondering....why not choose warmth and lovingness towards those we intersect? To me, it's my life and way of being.

Yes, I often wonder why people (a) feel they should be in such a rush to … what? a job? getting home fast(er)? and (b) why they would feel others should share their “hurry”? Somehow it seems one would be more happy and easy-going if they really liked their job or had a happy home, n’est pas? I’ve always admired your ability to look past negativity.
I’ve realized negativity doesn’t fit with what my spirit and soul want, so I don’tsubscribe having it in my life. I wish more peoplecould just breathe. That would change the universal consciousness of our planet, if people could just take a breath and be…no rush to be or get anywhere.
That is crazy about being in a hurry. I drive a lot during a work week from location to location. A good mix of Interstate and city. I am usually busy and need to get where I am going at times right away. I found that traffic flows much nicer when I take my mind’s hand’s off the project. The Universe has a nice way of letting me in when I need to get in,,,, switch lanes when I need to switch lanes. I cannot remember being late or missing a turn because of someone else.
As far as the people that are angry, they are usually mad about something else. They’ve made “spilling the coffee” the reason for being mad. So, don’t take it personally; they are just trying to find their way. I know that it seems so charged when it is happening but observe how many people are doing things right. They are everywhere and I promise you will notice them more often.
