HAPPY NEW YEAR 2026 – TAKE CHARGE LIKE A RAGING BULL!!

Hello BB Buddies!!

It’s me again, back after a hiatus. And what wisdom I have accrued in the years between Covid and all that Craziness!! If we can’t learn wisdom from life, what the frick are we doing? Life is supposed to teach us lessons, and the people we encounter are supposed to be our Teachers – in one way or another. The good, the bad, and the ugly. They all have some AHA moments to fling at us. Some we may like, others we’d rather return.

I have been listening with attention to all these charming Buddist Monks somewhere far away. They are sharing all sorts of wisdom, some of which I have added to my growing. pile. Man, that wisdom pile is almost bigger than the clutter zone in my basement now.

O.K. so here are some of my favourite wisdom-take-homes, that I have written into my 2026 Journal. You may wish to add them to yours!!

If you must OVERTHINK – Just overthink POSITIVE THOUGHTS!!

Start each day by saying 3 Simple things to yourself – OUT LOUD!!

THIS IS GOING TO BE AN ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC DAY (God Willing)

I CAN CONTROL MY MIND – AND NOT LET MY MIND CONTROL ME!!

I AM GRATEFUL FOR EVERYTHING I HAVE RIGHT NOW.

That’s it for now my friends. If you get a chance, start doing your 5-Minute Journal.

GRATITUDE IS AN ATTITUDE. Actually, I find it works!! Every day I never stop thanking God – for everything!! Food, Family, Friends, Fun, EVERYTHING!! That delicious Coffee first thing in the morning, etc. Anything that gives you JOY. Nature, that little hummingbird that you just saw, the cute dog that wagged his tail at you, the kind person who let you out on the road when you were driving, the girl who complimented your outfit. All those little daily things ADD UP to a smile on your face, and in your heart.

So, tomorrow my friends, start appreciating all those Teeny Tiny Miracles… They are called ‘Glimmers’. When you find a glimmer, you’ll know EXACTLY what I mean!!

Hugs Galore my Glimmering Shimmering Pals,

With Love,
