The wise know all goodbyes are temporary,
that happiness has nothing to do with what others think or do,
and,
that we are wisest when we know
that life is always right, even when circumstances are not.
Being wise is being at peace.
Today, let us go toward that peace.

When you feel better emotionally, a host of positive changes occur in your energy system.
When you feel worse, your energy system follows.
We are energy. Every cell, every organ, every system of our bodies are energy.
Breathe deeply and take in your fuel - oxygen.
Then go share love with anyone and everyone you can.
That can change you wonderfully, for the better. Right away.

Have we been going about it backwards?
How about:
First get happy.
Then life will become wonderful!
(Easy to think “when … happens, THEN I’ll be happy.)
But, no tellin’ what the day may bring. That's backwards.
Go forward.
And, go out there and have an incredible day of happiness.

A colleague friend of ours lives in the Northern climes of the U.S.
We live in Texas, way south of there.
And recently, when he and I had a texting back-and-forth phone conversation about orthodontic practice,
I noticed as we messaged, we both dappled our messages with “I love you….”
How the geographic distance, and the time between us was replaced and bridged with those words.
How precious the other felt to each.
How special each felt to hear the love.
Say I love you often.
Its energy is amazing.

We parents have heard it so very many times.
“Everyone else has, gets to," etc.
Yet, there is tough stuff, the challenges, the harder things to do.
Not everyone does those.
In fact, many many people don’t.
Many folks don’t pick up the baby blanket dropped by the baby in the cart ahead of you in the store to return it.
You can.
Many folks don’t smile and say a kind word to a lost-looking person on the sidewalk. Who knows what difficulties that person is working through? But folks just look and pass, not greeting, or saying “Hi there. Anything I can help you with today?”
You can.
Many folks stay “mad” after an argument, instead of saying, “I don’t want to be mad. I love you.”
You can.
Even if no one else does… you can.

Our brains construct thoughts and thus our minds create matter - neurons and synapses in response to our consciousness/awareness and thoughts.
Spend time in meditative matter creation. Like you did when your mother accused you of being “in space.” Or asked, “What planet are you on?”
Luftmensch literally means “air person” in Yiddish; being a “space cadet.”
Meditate, dream, sing for a bit each day. Experience water and notice the effect it has on you. Embue it with your happy thoughts and it will send joy back to you as you intake it.
Radiate blessing to everything and everyone around you. You will see and experience a positive difference!
Life will change for you as you spend time in “space.” Your emotions, thoughts, and creativity will soar. As will you.
To the galaxy,

As we come to days we call milestones - birthdays, anniversaries, graduation...
Our approach toward these milestones gives us a sense of anticipation.
That anticipation comes from the God-placed human tendency to flow lifeward, upward.
In that, find hope, excitement, your rhythm of loving.
The new lurks within.
Your creativity is awash with ideas,
And your ability awaits this very belief - that your next days can be upward, lifeward, joyous.
Look for it.
Believe.
Go forth.

There was a 1970s sitcom called "Rhoda", whose main character was Rhoda Morganstern, a yuppie-type young lady in New York City.
One day when Rhoda and her husband Joe arrived home, they found their apartment in shambles after a burglary.
As Rhoda looked around in shock and disappointment, she exclaimed, “My blender! It’s gone! And I didn’t even get to use ‘puree’!. She had never used the blender's then-amazing ability to puree a smoothie, or something similar.
Live with fun and enjoyment.
Use your good stuff. Use the silver and don't worry. Enjoy your precious keepsakes. Now is the time.
A sweet wife kept her husband’s wonderful gift of a cashmere sweater safely in special moth-proof wrapping, for someday, when she might wear it. Later, her husband found it in its box and wrapping, never worn, after she died unexpectedly.
Live in joy and love.

The patented D2 design treats to a Class I platform by the intra oral elastics forces. Molars are distal rotated into their desired position. Take advantage of early treatment patient cooperation. Brackets can be placed during or after the Class I correction is completed.
