WELCOME !

To the many new friends who share this newsletter! I hope you are doing some fun stuff already this summer! I had my first picnic on Sunday down by the river. Awesome!

Make sure you make time to have some fun. Life is not all about work or worry!

I'm so happy to share with you the "tasty nuggets" in this issue, so I'll let you get to it

EXERCISE YOUR MIND

I hear people say all the time "I had a bad day".
Or "My day started out fine, but such and such happened and it just ruined it".

I know. It happens all the time.
A lot of people think they have no control over their day.
But you do.

When you first wake up name it.
"I choose today to be a good day!"
Then if "stuff" comes up during your day you choose whether you get mad, stay mad, stay sad, or whatever.

You could say "I choose not to let this incident affect the rest of my day"! Or "I'm not going to allow myself to become angry at that person"!

You'll be amazed how many more good days you will have by letting the small, petty stuff go and focus on the positive.
Try it today and see for yourself!

ON THE BUS (Musings on Mass Transit)

A Rant About 6-6-06 . . .

I've heard today is supposed to be some sort of devilish, apocalyptic time for us earthlings. Well, I'm thinking something bad could happen any day, just as something wonderful could happen. Sorry if I upset the "doom and gloom" people.

The point is, we humans make the choice of whether it will be good or bad (for our part anyway). The wars, genocide, persecution, hunger, etc. Now the natural disasters are another story. Conversation about how much humans affect these phenomenon could last for years depending on one's belief. People could also converse about how much "God's Will" plays into these sort of things.

I guess you may be having many thoughts running through your mind at this time. That's good. One of the questions may be what this has to do with "On The Bus" writings. Well, today is Tuesday, 6-6-06. I choose to go to work despite whatever may or may not be lurking around in wait for me. I get to work on the bus.

Here's what it boils down to (for me). I use my Free Will to do what I want. If need be, I will be cautious in my goings, but I will NEVER let fear or hype keep me locked in my house or never enjoy a movie, the opera, or a walk in the park. And if I should be killed in one of my many pursuits, then so be it.

We all have our time to say "Adieu", but I will NOT be governed by those who use fear or fear itself. If I did, what would be the point of living? Just my opinion.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy day!

P.M. Well, I'm off work and back on baby bus for the ride home. The work day was fairly quiet, lunch was pretty good, meetings were boring as usual, and best of all it was a sunny day! :)

I think I decided today to get may bike! I'll let you know how the rest of the day went later on or tomorrow in the a.m.

As always, damn glad to be alive! ! !
