It’s not a pretty picture but one I’ve dealt with all my life. As many of these “species” hide in some of the most comfortable spots waiting for just right moment to attack. They pull me in to their spot as it looks so comforting and warm as I let go of my protective cloth and then they’ve got me.  In many a case I don’t even realize they have attached themselves to me until the blood is oozing. Sometimes they even escape before I notice the wound they have left.  This species knows where I won’t look and just how close they can get to my heart or at least what feeds it.   For leeches come in 2 feet as well and can even hide in plain site.

They’ve built housing and the structure for businesses from the bottom up with risks all around them. At any moment they could take their investments and just live on them but instead invest hard earned cash in a dream that others will attach themselves too. Real estate is a tricky market and takes years and years to recoup without the government pulling their greedy hands into the formula. There are all different costs such as insurance, leaks, energy and G-D knows what which can make this investment much trickier then it looks. So before you just the “greedy landlord” maybe you should look at his previous balance sheets and see that in many cases it is truly heavenly sent.

I’m exploring a world I never knew existed my “happiness”. It’s a path that contains many twists and turns but has been blasted with people pleasing and non-confrontational previously. Here are a few items I’ve discovered along the path.

(1) Lake Journey- It might be the same starting spot yet it will turn many a frown upside down.

(2) Working Out- The gym brings out my strength especially mentally.

(3) Creating- I need to make “something” and it could be as simple as a blog piece and as large as one on the big screen.

(4) Discussion/Thoughtful Debates- I love a discussion that doesn’t always go my way but has me exploring a different view and/or world

(5) Knowledge- Learning something brand new allows my mind to expand to happiness.

(6) Peace- Yes, that simple word absorbed anywhere makes me happy.

(7) Art- Enjoying a “piece” can change my mind in a note.

(8) New- Yes, it’s shiny and F-U-N

(9) Old- History never goes out of my happiness cycle.

It’s just too much to battle ahead I’ll just take the scraps of bread left over. For, can I just one person truly make a difference when the wave is pushing everyone else down? Yet, the 250 year spirit burns in M-E for how did our “forefathers” take on the greatest power of their day and change the world? A power that probably had even a bigger smirk then the one in power today.  I’m not looking for a conflict but I wonder how long I can let those bread crumbs last before I throw the cake in his direction instead?

FOOTNOTE-  We should not assume just because an area appears “blue” that the residence will stay in this mode forever.
