Breaking My Blogging Sabbatical
I have been on a blogging sabbatical.
It was not premeditated; it just occurred. But now, I feel it lifting.
I believe in doing what feels right. I believe that you should do what you want to do.
I want to blog because I have things to tell you – things that will help you live the positive life you want to live.
And this is what I want to tell you in this post: your circumstances don’t matter as much as your thoughts and feelings.
I will expand this line of thought in subsequent posts, but for now, mull this over. Circumstances don’t matter.
So don’t fret over circumstances. Instead, focus on developing positive thoughts and positive feelings.

Hi Buz,
“The Cause Myth”. We live under the pressure of “the cause myth”.
“My circumstances cause me to feel good, bad, nothing.” “Buz makes me feel XYZ”. We put a lot of pressure on / in our circumstances and in the people around us.
Another part of “The Cause Myth” that we live under is, “I am so powerful that I control the universe.” The Law of Attraction and friends can help us get under that pressure. It’s attractive, compared to the first part of “The Cause Myth”.
In “reality”, it seems as if we can cause very little, if anything. We can choose “how we participate” in life.
Do I choose to be “light”, grateful, loving, giving.
Do I choose to be “heavy”, ungrateful, selfish, indulgent.
I choose, today, to honor you. Thank you Buz for listening. Taking your sabbatical, and for returning with good stuff to give.

Thank you, Twenty, for your thought-provoking inspiration!
Blessings to you!

Hi all–Yes, and I am a victim–because!!
But I believe we are who we are in any given moment, and a blog sabbatical is a wonderful way to refuel and regenerate your whole life!! Thanks for letting us all know of your (blogging ) return!! And yes, circumstances are just a dream.
Hi Buz and Twenty Twenty,
Thank you for your rich insights. Victoria and I were talking this morning about circumstances and upcoming events that we didn’t necessarily want to be a part of, but that are basically required of us. So, we pretty much have to surrender and go anyway.
This all reminds me of some of the incredibly profound yet simple wisdom that I have read recently on a website called http://www.goddirect.org.
Many blessings to both of you,
Todd
I wrote a comment a day or two ago which got lost in cyberspace! So I return!
Indeed, circumstances have nothing at all to do with our happiness, and when we think they do, we’ve been hooked into a dependency of some sort. True Emotional Sobriety is a calmness in the face of the storm, with an inner knowingness that whatever happens, all is well, all is well.
