Monday Motivation

Feeling It
Michael Shinafelt
While heading into my last two weeks of wearing a cast to recover from surgery I began pondering my life overall and you know what? It's been a good one. "Yes" rather than focus on the fact that I have lost some of the shape I worked so hard for, I chose to focus on the fact that I really haven't lost that much. (it's true, it didn't  go down as badly as I thought it would) -

Thus today's Monday Motivation is Gratitude. Gratitude comes when you meditate and clear your mind of all the BS that doesn't matter. It takes a strong person with a lot of will power to do this because in a Social Media age everything is pretty under a microscope and most things are magnified to hold more weight than they actually do.

So while in a calm state I made a check list of things I am grateful for, Gratitude. What are those thing? None of your business 😇 Trust Me the process is one that should be practiced everyday to achieve the outcome one wants of it. That would be to be a happier person so you can attract what you want in your life and shut down the rest of it.

Just do it! When you tend to your own well being it reflects to the universe and gets magnified back at you. Would I lie to you? No way...!!!

PS  Some additional wisdom, beware of petty narcissist, they are insidious 😲

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day
Michael Shinafelt
Happy Mother's Day! Yep, this is the day we celebrate all you Mother's out there, you've earned it!

This is going to be a short column, because I am a short man. I would simply like express my gratitude to my Mother Jan Landburg-Shinafelt

No matter how many tough times there have been, and there have been many, Mom I have always been able to count on you to be there. 

I custom made the image above and posted it on her Facebook wall exclusively for her. Oh, and I have also included my favorite pic of her and myself in this blog and posted it on Facebook and Twitter in celebration of the big "M."
My Favorite Mother
Ain't Social Media grand? Also this will be the first and last time you will ever hear me use the term "ain't" in my writing. I know it is now recognized by Webster's as an actual word, but it wasn't when I was a kid growing up.

In fact my Mother used to say, when I uttered it: "Ain't, ain't fell in the paint" - I rest my case.

Wishing all the Mother's out there a happy, happy, joy, joy!!!
