Personally speaking, my experiences mirror those of mystics, in that my feelings seem independent of outward conditions.

So while I check the boxes, dot my Is and cross my Ts, I do my best to reside in the serenity of my imaginary dreams. If I can’t snap my fingers and have it all immediately, I can at least have the feeling of it. That is what I truly desire—when I have gotten what I wished for and felt disappointment and lack, I didn’t care for what I had acquired. Conversely, when I have been shorted or damaged and I was deeply abiding in positive feeling, I didn’t really care if I had just experienced a seemingly detrimental event. And due to my positive state of mind, I was able to parse opportunity from apparent negativity.

I believe abiding in positivity has opened my mind to serendipity, and consequently, my goals have fallen/are falling into place much faster than I ever thought possible. Whether that’s magic or psychology, I leave up to you.

I’ll just focus on being a happy dreamer.

    1. Thank you for sharing this!

  1. “Happy dreamer” I like it. Seems much nicer than being just a dreamer.

    1. It’s the most important part of the phrase!

  2. This is the way.

    1. Never got a Mandalorian response. Love it! 😁

  3. Like Ivy they formalise the wild landscape into gardens with draws of knowledge to control those minds capable to think outside the box and break their illegal systems and control parameters they do not even live by themselves!!😋 🍑 life is a peach remember to mke time to nibble on my neck!

    1. Chomp on mine and I’ll nibble on yours! 😏

      1. deal! PS i got my house in my realy twenties for time served carrying naughty Jewish and catholic levels! derelict, now completed all rotation, religions and levels of the world as a Mecca and special school and hospital, intern teaching acadamy! Tech or practicl i already earn my time off just by watching my world and safeguarding! 🔥 😈🍄 if it is a condo i am moving in! lol sex on the beach, oh yeh you do noyt drink! 🤣 everyone else left without rings as the dark set i am in law and provided for under all and without rings it is the workforce to be collected! lol

      2. Sex on the beach seems tricky…wind and sand and possibly water. 😅

      3. Beach chair, towel, water or grass bank, floats and fleeces! breeze bristling through your skin waves lapping at your feet! always the little things that put you off! lantern on a deck, magic can happen anywhere when you relax!😘

      4. Sounds perfect! Puts me in the mood for kissing! 😉

      5. awwwwww! i love it when you get all interractive! i got you pinned for kissing, tongue is mine my oral fixation is special! skin to skin never got so fun!

      6. Gets my wiener tingling! 🤣

      7. it sets my vamp on energy overhall i spent four hours dancing yesterday! god did it feel good to sit down! lol

  4. Have always enjoyed your musings. This was really hit the spot!

    1. Thank you! I say the same thing, but I try to find the spot-hitting way to say it, lol!

      1. It’s all about the right words. I do the same thing in my journals. I’m just trying to find the phrase that will trigger my best self.

      2. “Trigger my best self.” That’s a great way to put it!

  5. I suspect perspective is crucial to finding peace. Have started reading Thomas Merton’s works. Funny I should run across this musing at what seems a perfect time. Thanks!

    1. Absolutely! I love seeming synchronicity!

  6. This is very interesting my friend. It sounds like your dreams are opening up to you. PS I haven’t forgotten your book either. I never forget my promises. So many poets I care so much about have been writing books. I too was in a number one best Anthology. My list is getting much shorter. I have a feeling I am going to enjoy your book. I hope you haven’t given up on me. Sending hugs, I am so grateful your goals are getting accomplished. Wishes for love, peace, harmony and more dreams coming true. 🦋❤️🤗

    1. Congratulations on your success!!! No worries if you don’t read my book, I appreciate the positivity and inspiration! 😊

      1. Thank you and congratulations on yours as well. I appreciate your thoughtfulness and understanding. However I completely think my husband and I will enjoy reading it together. I enjoy your wild post they make me laugh out loud. Your writing is unique too. Plus I already have your book. Have a blessed day my friend. 🦋❤️🦋

      2. Well I’m grateful you’re set on reading it.
        Also glad you like my posts—I love to make people laugh! 😁

      3. Laughter is such a gift 🎁. Your energy is amazing also. Big hugs my friend. 🦋❤️🎁

      4. Yours as well! Thank you, and keep up the positivity, it’s irreplaceable! 🤗

      5. Boy that is so true my friend. Big hugs 🤗

      6. Virtual hug received! 😊

      7. It sure beats no hugs. We are big hugger in the south. Not so much in Seattle. Have another wonderful day. More hugs. Joni 🤗🦋🤗

      8. Seattle! I couldn’t deal with the rain and clouds. 😅

      9. We too, moved after ten years. The year that we had 90 straight days of rain (this was a record at the time for Seattle) my husband got a chance to work from home anywhere in the US and we moved to North Carolina. It was also dark and cloudy every day, for those sixty days. 🤗🌧🌂 Have a good one my friend.

      10. Three months?!? 😨 The only good thing about that is no bugs! 😅

      11. You are so sweet. Yep they all drowned. You are so clever. You have a great sense of humor. 🦋❤️🦋

      12. Thank you! You are too gracious! In my opinion, positivity is the most precious and powerful attribute, and you’ve got it in spades! 😊

      13. I appreciate your kind words but I think your energy, creative sense of humor and positivity are a big draw. ❤️🦋

      14. Thank you again! ❤️ I’m really just focusing on the positivity–everything else is just icing on the cake. 😊

      15. Good for you, an issue I still need to work on! Blessings and great writing this week my friend. ❤️

      16. Nah, you got it down! I’m of the opinion that part of it is we shouldn’t be so hard on ourselves about stuff, especially and ironically about easy-feeling positivity! 😊

      17. You are right my friend. We have spent much of the morning talking about this very subject. You are not only a forward and prolific writer but you are a smart man with wisdom to share. Big hugs, Joni

      18. Thank you! You’re pretty prolific and smart yourself! 😊

      19. Thank you my friend. Blessings to you and May the creativity flow throughout this upcoming week. 🦋❤️

      20. You as well! 😊

  7. Dreamers are the best 😀

  8. I LOVE it! Positive vibes all the way!

  9. Being a happy dreamer seems about right. Now, I really need to read your novels. ~nan

  10. I am pretty sure you can be both a happy dreamer and blissful winner. 😊

    1. Me too! 😁

      1. Glad to know that! 😇

  11. I like what you said here, but I’m wondering if your feelings are truly independent of outward conditions? I think we should have some sway sort of like s surfer lol like we ride the waves so they directly effect us but they don’t hinder our forward momentum.

    but I can agree that focusing on on being a happy dreamer does seem to work out for the better.

    1. Maybe, maybe not, but it anecdotally seems that way for me. Or if that isn’t completely the case, the feelings are more important for me, because I’ve been miserable in “great” conditions and happy in “miserable” conditions.

      1. I feel that! And I appreciate the post, your blog and your books very much. I’m so glad you answered the call to write

      2. Thank you!! ❤️ It used to be a need, after a bit I realized it was a calling, now I’m just having fun with it. 😊

  12. Positivity all the way

    1. Absolutely!

  13. I follow you here. The inner state disconnected from outside events. I flee in an imaginary world quite often.

    1. It’s an intuition-based art, I think. There’s clinging to denial versus focusing on the most positive outcome possible, even if that’s something along the lines of, “This seems really bad, but I can’t say for sure what happens next, maybe it’ll be a miracle or a freak stroke of luck.”

  14. There is never anything wrong with being a “happy dreamer.” Without dreams, most of the world around us would cease to be.

    1. Indeed! Most of the world might never have been.

  15. Yeah sure being a happy dreamer is better than just a dreamer. I enjoy your works

    1. Thank you, and yes–being happy is the goal! 😊

  16. Such a good post.
    Gwen.
