The World Needs a Happy

I’m reading a book about making your mind magnificent by changing your thoughts. I’m all for that. One of my thoughts is seeing myself happy and healthy… But yesterday morning, not far from our house in Wisconsin, someone focused on thoughts of hate and walked into a Sikh Temple and started shooting. You can read more about it at Barbara Vey’s Beyond Her Book blog.

I can’t change what happened, but it makes me want to love more. That includes our two dogs who are both older than dogs their breeds usually lives. And of course, our cat who seems to get more needy every day.

I understand, because right now I feel needy. To whoever else thinks that hate is the answer, you’re wrong. It’s love. And caring. And kindness. Hate doesn’t change the world. It just leaves a hole. Love heals that hole.

So, love or hate… You choose.
