Crazy...how will you die??

      I just did one of those crazy on line...how will you.....tests. This one was how, and when will you die. I don't normally do anything so negative. Why worry about something you are unlikely to be able to change. Also, why put any energy into the possible date of your own death....what if the results came up next year? What then, you might believe it, drive yourself crazy, or everyone else. Well, I maintain I'm already at least slightly crazy....I'm English after all. The world knows we are all a bit 'shot away' as the saying goes. I suppose I did it because a Facebook Friend published his result, complete with engraved gravestone.  His cause of death was 'shot in Times Square'. Hey that's cool, I thought, what would mine be. It might be something equally outrageous.

     So off I went, following the links.... According to that I'm going to live to be a hundred years old, much longer than the Facebook friend....RESULT! I thought. Then, apparently I die by falling down a manhole, an open one I presume......My first thought was, well at least I'm still getting about, and pretty rapidly to not notice a open manhole. A manhole...well of course, if I was rude, I could put connotations on that answer as well. What sort of manhole exactly? Am I still getting up to naughty tricks at a hundred ? So, it's lucky I am a very proper lady...being English, naturally I would be. Ah, I won't go on about our reputation, as always, it precedes us, like a bit of a bad smell. There goes that manhole reference again. When you think about it, it's not a very savoury way to die is it. What's down there, is it the coal hole, the drains, the sewer.. Ewwwww, doesn't bear thinking about does it. How quickly am I found, do I fester down there for days? Mmmmm, I knew I should not have tempted fate by being curious.

          I suppose at the very least, I can take more care where I step once I reach a hundred. Do you think I can avoid it? Ahh see, I am already trying to find a way around my predicted demise. You know, that's what living is all about isn't it. Never mind the dying bit, first you have to live!  Living well, making the most of life, is not giving in, not giving up. If something knocks you down, spring back up...say ' it doesn't hurt', or, 'I'm fine' or, by trying to improve your odds. I call it 'being positive', or 'positive thinking'. Using the power of the mind to create your own reality. In other words, if you can dream it, you can achieve it. Yes, I know, I bang on about it all the time. But hey, if it works..which it does...why knock it.

         I suppose I'm in a bit of a whimsical mood today. Even before the test, I was away with the fairies. All in all, not a bad place to be. With the faries that is. I had a lovely dream about faries once, not so long ago. I could see exactly how big they were, hear them and see their marvellous colours. I still remember it vividly. One day it will come out in a story, as these things always do. Yes, that's another reason I was in a strange mood today, I was looking at the general numerology reading for next year. It's quite fascinating. 2015 is an eight year, so being a shape that is also the shape of the symbol for infinity, it is quite a special one. Last year has a bearing on this year of course. It appears we were all having to re evaluate our lives, or aims, or dreams in some way last year. Letting go of things, or ideas, or ideals that no longer worked for us. Some things just stopped working, or fell down about our ears. It is true that many people I know made big jumps in new directions last year. Myself included. It was as if, I had gone as far as I could possibly go in a situation. I just had to let it go, stop holding it up really and begin again. Even though I had little idea at the time if that was smart, or stupid.

          Although since those rather drastic type of decisions and quandaries, it's not been plain sailing. Over the Christmas and New Year period, life, for many people has been a mess and a muddle. Making little or no progress. With confusions, set backs, uncertainties and the like. The numerology review says all of that was necessary for us to let go of misdirections, or wrong directions. So that this year, we can be ready to move forward with interests and directions that are right for us. We should overall,  let go of all things which we do not love doing. If it doesn't make you happy, don't do it. Or, at least stop putting all your energy into it.  Of course that's a simplification, it does mean you should let go of the things which are destroying you, bit by bit. Aim for being involved in your passions, you should have some idea by now what those are. Be creative, use your creativity in some way,as through this the universe can speak to you. So, be aware of what your instinct continues to tell you about where to put your energy and effort next year. It's not a year for struggling alone, join clubs, real ones, not just on line. Make partnerships, alliances, go out, meet people, share effort, or share ideas or interests. Put up the energy, the thought for what you want in your life. Great achievements can be made this year.

         Which, if you think about it, is almost the same as the positive thinking I spoke of before. Of creating your own reality, in your mind, or on paper first, before in actuality. Fate, the Universe, will give you the right push forward this year. Don't waste it by going on with outdated, unloved directions or interests. Opportunities can be wasted, as well as taken. Don't waste this year, be brave, work hard and see how much your life will change this year. Let's all make sure it's for the better, with more love, more fun, more satisfaction and more security all around.
