Closeup sunflower with beautiful lens flareVery early this morning Max, that “the sky is falling/disaster is imminent” voice in my head, almost had me by the throat before I came to my senses. I awoke with a start and realized that I had slept in on the morning I had to drive my daughter to the SeaTac airport. It was 4:20am and an hour past the time we had planned to leave our friend’s home in Bellingham. Eeyikes!  I had even set 2 alarm clocks to be absolutely sure we wouldn’t sleep in.

And now Max was having a field day. “How could you sleep in like that? You will never make it to the airport on time. Lani is going to miss her flight. Even if she gets another flight, it’ll cost a lot more money and take precious days off of her already brief vacation. Her dream vacation is ruined…”

I knew that I had to stop Max in his tracks because I knew that worrying was just going to create what I didn’t want to happen. continue reading Relax Max

One of my favorite ways to get into a good feeling space is to listen to upbeat music.  Here’s an oldie that I recently discovered on youtube  -  Elvis Presley singing “There’s a Brand New Day on the Horizon” from the movie Roustabout. Great to sing along to.

Words & music by J. Byers

There’s a brand new day on the horizon
Everything’s gonna be just fine
There’s a brand new day on the horizon
And the whole world’s gonna be mine

I’m gonna tell old trouble, he’d better be moving on
Happiness is going to take his place around here from now on
The old dark clouds are gonna roll away
The sun is gonna shine
And the whole world’s gonna be mine …
