I want to believe even as I have dozens of bottles that proof it doesn’t work. Yet, the sales person pulls on my heartstrings just enough to pull out some green from these empty pockets because just maybe this one will “work”. The “Fountain Of Youth”, “Money and Fame In A Moment” , “Happiness Forever”, “Love Potion #…” I’ve been sold many a bottle and the only thing they never cure is my gullibility.  Just because you want it to happen doesn’t mean it will, especially if you don’t put in the effort but rely on a bottle instead. These are easier words then digestible reality. I know the truth but it’s too hard to look in my own mirror so relying on a fable is so much more comforting.  I guess I’ll never learn and instead have the largest collection of snake oil in the world.

FOOTNOTE-  Snake oil salespeople never stop knocking at our doors because eventually we all take a sip.

If you get this far the previous post wasn’t reality but a really great concept for a movie or television series don’t you think?

The Mandela effect does exist. If you remember Nelson Mandela dying in prison your memory isn’t false they are.  “Luke I Am Father” is what you heard even if they repeat over and over again that this didn’t occur.  Sinbad was in Shaazam a movie you recall seeing even as they have tried to void it’s existence. The script has been written and these were supposed to be deleted from it but never were. You’re not insane even if they pump you with pills and hospitalizations to believe you are. For I’ve been there and faked their reality just so they would give me enough room to escape and uncover the true facts.  Here it …

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.

“Toy Story 5”  enough already please.  Yes, the animation is out of this world but the story can be in a cup as it’s the common theme of the woke.  Woman rule and men are just play things that come along for the ride. I appreciate characters that break the “mold” but these just reverse the mold and honestly it’s getting boring already.  I’m sure it has broken box offices as kids push parents to the F-U-N parts of the film without realizing the underlying message that they push through. Even if I’m overthinking this issue as they are just “playing” it’s still a very predictable movie that would entertain if 1- 4 didn’t exist before.

**1/2- Animation deserves all the stars.

I decided to dedicate this blog post to my own journey through my mind and here (below) are some of the keys that I was able to pull out.

(1) Friday Day- Many personal and business problems had real estate in my head. Yet cutting the day a bit shorter to get a haircut allowed me to shed some of those negative thoughts especially the shave.

(2) Saturday/Shabbos- I continued to expand the amount of time I stayed at my Shul and enjoy the company. When one of my friends left I decided to join him without saying goodbye to the others. I later wondered why I didn’t take the time to say goodbye especially to the Rabbi on my way out.

(3) Father’s Day Concert- The turnout was poor and left me feeling a bit “abandoned” by the friends that I expected to attend. I cheered up quickly as I took a different view of “my private concert”

(4) Fathers Day- A difficult time with loved ones left with me negative feelings that evaporated as I took in others pain and suddenly made plans with a “key player” who I thought forgot about M-E.  G-D has a way to bring messages when you least expect it.

(5) Kept looking for finding my keys that work. These include the lake, learning, laughing and listening.
