Makin’ your way in the world today
Is really hard sometimes. Our world seems upside down, and our foundations are seemingly being ripped away in instances. As we leap to a new foundation, often it turns to a mirage and as we begin slowly fall we can but hope the landing won’t hurt to much. Sometimes just moving really

Takes everything you got
and even more. We find that we need to dig deep inside and find that personal center that tells us which direction to go. We have to fan the flame in our heart and reach for the next best feeling on our way to joy. But the overwhelm can be real, anxieties, news, life events can consume our attention and misdirect us away from our joy, until it is just a faded memory of happiness in nostalgic times past.

Taking a break from all your worries
If only the worries wouldn’t follow where ever you may go. Take a vacation? Somehow the worries always manage to get packed along. You can’t run from yourself, or an unsettled mind. Meditation is great, and a wonderful tool. But sometimes sitting by yourself telling yourself not to think about your worries just does not work (but I have some excellent meditation resources for you that will work, so look for them!) Still, taking a break from worries

Sure would help a lot
Yes, it is so important to get that relief, have an ability to step back and start feeling again. Give ourselves a chance to start feeling again, to express ourselves, and start the journey back up the emotional guidance scale. This is lead to inspired action and break the paralysis. It will start things moving and help us find a place we can address our life’s issues or reflect on changes occurring.

Wouldn’t you like to get away
Getting away is not always practical, and not always the right answer. Getting away seems to imply running from the issues, but they will stay with us. I think we just need a little relief from the pressure, a little ray of sunshine, a bit of time where we can just relax and feel.

Sometimes you want to go
To a place where you can get that relief, if just for a little bit. A place you can gain perspective, talk things over, or just be in an environment with others that appreciate you, being you, and you being there.

Where everybody knows your name
Finding a place where you fit in, where people know you, and inspire you. A place that is your People, I suppose they call it your tribe today. When you can’t still your mind, and you can’t escape from your worries, this is the welcoming place you can go to be recharged.

And they are always glad you came
A place you always have a welcome, and you never have to be concerned about dropping in. A place where you can find the relief from the pressure, talk to others, bemoan your issues if needed, and then be uplifted and ready to take an inspired action to make the worries dissolve into delightful windows of exquisite contrast and wonderful learning opportunities to fine tune your future manifestations

You want to be where you can see
That everyone has their own issues to resolve, and we resolve them by working together, by our connections to one another. Making the connections, seeing the different perspectives, or perhaps just being their. There is a lot of positive to being with a group with a positive purpose that support and encourage each other. But basically, somewhere you realize that at the base

The troubles are all the same
They just wear different faces and costumes. Everyone has a mirror, and the reflections only they can truly see and understand how it things manifest in their lives. However the more we can recognize contrast (life issues) guiding others, the more we can understand how that contrast shows up in our life also. Then we can truly support each other in moving to the next higher level and finding the next inspired action. Perhaps we even start to truly feel and process our emotions as they occur (something I am still working on)

• Todays thoughts on the Theme from Cheers

In the above musing I introduced some concepts that I have not written about in depth yet, but they are coming up.

Is this done? I think this is part 1 – Stay tuned for part 2
