Endings

The last day of 2012 is upon us.  Ah yes, another year gone.  If we follow what the media says, we probably are thinking good riddance to a horrible year.  People are bad; horrible things have happened; we are falling off the fiscal cliff; yada, yada, yada.  And, yes, bad things have happened.  Some people choose to do bad things. However.....

What if we turn off the news, stop checking in on the web sites that report moment to moment events, cancel our newspapers and stop all the magazines that report on the dramas of the "beautiful" people?  What if we choose instead to look for only Good in our world?

We hear about it occasionally on a slow news day or read about it in a small town newspaper.  We hear about the child who asked for donations to a worthy cause rather than Christmas presents.  We hear about the nursing home resident who knits for newborns because that is all she can do.  We hear about the people who take to the streets of a community to assist those who truly need help.  I could list more Good news items or Good deeds but I think you get the point...

GOOD EXISTS! 

A question that keeps popping up in my mind: why is there such a draw to that which is negative? Why do we dwell upon all those things that negate the Good?  I have to admit I can be drawn into the drama of tragedies.  Maybe it is the shock that these things happen.  Maybe we all have a shadow side that really wants to take over.  All I know is I really want to leave this behind me.

Barbara Marx Hubbard is one of many visionaries supporting Birth 2012, Co-creating a Planetary Shift. Simply put she is supporting the conscious evolution of this planet.  Far out for many people but as Albert Einstein so stated:

"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again 

and expecting different results."

Maybe it is time to try something new.  For those who are interested, here is Barbara's website: http://www.barbaramarxhubbard.com/site/.

It is my fervent personal desire that when Midnight comes this year and we ring out the old and ring in the new, that I leave behind my interest in that which belies the Good or God in mankind.  Good exists we just tend to overlook it.  It is said that what we focus our attention on is that which we attract to ourselves.  

Yes, there will be undesirable things that happen in 2013 but my intention is to acknowledge the event and know that there is a Divine Presence right in the middle of whatever is going on.  This Presence is loving and guiding those who are open to that unconditional Love and divine guidance. 

Affirmation for December 31, 2012:

I am letting go of all that negates the Good of God.  Right now, I live and move and have my being in God's Goodness.  And so it is. 

Namaste.
