Get your umbrella--it's raining CRAP.

During the night I had a bad dream about my father, who died almost 7 years ago. Sadly, even from beyond the grave, my dad can wreak havoc. He was cold, imperious, intimidating.  I vaguely recall his displeasure may have been related to my dislike of his sister, my aunt Marie, who lived to be 95 and has been dead about 10 years? She never could stand me and the feeling was mutual. When I was 8 years old, she swatted my thigh with a fly swatter and taunted me, FAT FAT. (Later in life when I confronted her about that, she of course denied it.)  I shudder that I even have GENES from my father's side of the family! His father, "Grandpa" to me, molested me when I was four years old. My sister, too, although I don't know exactly how old she was when he did it to her.
So I woke up in a bad mood and the day went from bad to worse.  Ironically, I had just read a book on how to change one's life, called THE LAW OF ATTRACTION.  Our thoughts have magnetic power. They materialize whatever we think about. Negative thoughts bring negative people, negative experiences, blah blah. But I didn't go to BED mad last night! Had no idea I would dream of Daddy Dearest.
The Halloween Party on Nov. 9 (delayed because of storm last week) fell flat as well.  Couldn't get in the mood, and all the food did was set off a SUGAR BINGE after I got home.
Turned on the radio thinking I could improve my mood that way and attract some GLORIOUS people amd experiences. To my disgust, the station I normally listen to has already changed its format to ALL CHRISTMAS SONGS. That really ticked me off! Nov. 9--two more weeks until thanksgiving--and already it's Christmas music? What's next? We just cancel Halloween and Thanksgiving and start the Christmas season on Labor Day?
The world seems crazy today and full of crap.
Thanks for listening to me vent.

So sorry to hear about your bad dream and all the negative images it conjured up for you!!! Bummer about delayed Halloween Party. I rarely listen to the radio anymore but I do believe that some stations have already started with the Christmas songs. What a buzz kill!!! Hope you are protected from all the crap! Take care Judy!!!

Well nothing like a bad dream to set the day off wrong. It is fornate that you were reading the THE LAW OF ATTRACTION. Think positive...be postive!

WOW, isn\'t it amazing what a dream can do to your day. This one you remembered. Have you ever had one that you couldn\'t remember and still felt off? I\'ve a few of those.

I like the idea that if we are positive we bring positive energy to us. But, if we are positive.. how do we get the negative energy??? that\'s one the book doesn\'t answer i bet.

I am sorry you had such a rough childhood.

I hope by now your mood has improved. I will send you some positive thoughts.

I agree it\'s too early in the month to start Christmas music. It used to be after Thanksgiving all that started. They even have decorations for sale for Christmas in some stores.

Thanks, friends. I forgot to write in the journal that the bad dream caused me to wake up really early. When I rise at the crack of dawn, I\'m hungrier and crabbier all day long! I feel better today. Blessings to you.

I so believe in that \"Law of Attraction\" and it surely seems to be the key. I\'m sorry about your nightmare. How awful that must have been, the dreaming and the reality. I\'m glad you\'re feeling better.

I agree, it\'s too early for Christmas music. Takes a lot away from it when it keeps getting more commercial all the time.

I am sorry for the bad dream and sorry for the bad things that happened to you when you were younger. The brain is a \"funny\" thing. Things/memories have a way of popping up to sneak up on us, don\'t they? I agree with the theory of that book. I definitely think that negative people attract negative people. sometimes I think that is why I avoid DS sometimes as I don\'t want people to think I am a whiner! I know people (even some of my customers) who seem to have a perpetual black cloud over their head. I hope that things have gotten better.

i agree with you about the world, at least in usa, they have totally capitalized on every holiday we have. no one knows WHAT they are celebrating except for the \"buying\" that goes with it. not good.

how about dance classes? zumba is popular. or ballroom dancing (you don\'t need a partner) or country line dancing....dancing is a fun way to meet people AND exercise all at the same time. xxoo
