Fearsome entertainment

A little trick of mine

/ fearsomebeard / 4 Comments

I often have to remind myself that to have a positive outlook is that I must remember to work for it. By work I mean I need to seek things that make me feel good, look for the good in the world, appreciate beauty around me wherever I am and to give kindness as much as I can to others, even to strangers. A positive outlook helps me to focus on what I want instead of focusing on what I don’t want.

When I focus on what I want I find more of it around me. With more of it around me I feel better and I’m able to see more.

In today’s world it’s easy for me to get overcome with things that bother me and to in turn see more negative things and thus I end up defeated and depressed. Defeatism does not serve me, it only makes me feel bad and in turn I pass that energy to everthing and everyone around me. Becoming Debbie Downer is not who I want to become.

Therefore, for me, I must work at finding the good. It doesn’t mean I’m not aware of the bad, nor does it mean I approve of it. However the only way I can win and overcome negative things is by being well myself, and feeling good helps me to be well.

Today I’ll start my week off with a tune from my childhood that just makes me feel good. May it help one of you reading this as well.

Simon & Garfunkel – The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin’ Groovy) – 1966

May peace, love, joy and understanding prevail on earth.

I try my best to surround myself with beauty and joy as much as possible. Sometimes it takes effort or even work to do so. It’s easy to fall into the trap and drama of negativity. Therefore if you haven’t noticed of recent I’ve stepped up a notch from just bringing the beauty of bearded men to this here blog thingy, I’ve started adding a bit more.

I’ve shared this video before but many, many years ago. Today it brings me joy and hope. I post it here that maybe one other person stumbling through may also be warmed by its simplicity and beauty.

May peace and joy be yours today, and may peace prevail on earth

Come Monday

Today I cry.
I cry for our world, humanity and all the innocent little creatures we share it with.
I long for peace and the simple carefree life of my childhood.
I reach for things that bring me comfort that I might focus on peace rather than the turmoil surrounding us.
Good memories help sometimes, and this song reminds me of riding in the backseat of my mother’s white Buick 1967 Electra 225 one sumner many years ago without a care in the world. May it take you away for a moment just as it did me.

Jimmy Buffett – Come Monday – 1974

May peace prevail on earth.

Makes me feel fine,

Blowin’ through the jasmine in my mind…

Seals & Crofts – Summer Breeze – (original release) 1972 – Live Video dated 1975

One of those tunes from my childhood that not only brings back good memories but brings me comfort.

May this summer be a wonderful one for you and yours.
Peace ☮️
