One of our Sunday evening rituals is watching 60 Minutes. Tonight 2 great stories stood out. The first Howard Schultz former CEO Starbucks strongly considering running for President in 2020. He would not be running for either the Democrats or Republicans, however as an independent with a centrist viewpoint. Of course some of the 20 declared Democrats have said he would siphon votes from them and create an easy repeat victory for the Orange Menace.
Good for him putting himself forward as a valuable and viable alternative. I believe that more famous people will enter the race. How about Michael Bloomberg, Dwayne Rock Johnson with sidekick Tom Hanks. Don't be surprised if some Republicans challenge the Orange Menace for the nomination. He will go down as the worst President ever, if he even survives till next year.
The other story was about a Michigan couple with a savvy for basic math who outsmarted 2 state lotteries and won millions all legally. They are still living modest lives and paid for their children and grandchildren tuition. Good for them. They created abundance and scattered their seeds for so many to benefit.
My theme for this year is to create abundance. This past week has shown that putting it out there you receive it back. Abundance comes in many forms. Right now I am experiencing an abundance of love and positive energy.
Last Thursday I had another great day sharing my story to 2 grade seven classes. The students ask great questions and have great comments. One of questions was about how did my partner know I had depression before I knew it. She is a social worker with awesome assessment skills. The other thing is that karma is either a curse/blessing and what you show is what people see. I was presenting a depressive aura which was easy to detect. I didn't see it though.
Another question was can you be cured from depression. In my opinion, the short answer is no. I believe you learn to deal with depression so that it doesn't drag you deeper. I still have depressive moments, days etc, however, they are not as long as they used to be. In the past they could last for weeks. I enjoyed wallowing in self pity. Now I am aware of my core emotions and triggers and my network is also aware when I start having them affect me. My sweetie is the first to notice and react.
We have had a great weekend staying inside and restoring and recovering. We are also reminiscing about our wonderful cruise experience last year. Fresh air is a positive stimulant as is fresh outlook.
Be kind and be positive so you can scatter seeds and share abundance.
