Good evening friends.

Life was good today on June 8th, 2015, nothing climatic, but good, and good is good enough.  It’s great to be home with the family and our 5 dogs.  I can’t tell you how many years I spent thinking an anticlimactic day was like a failure or something.  I mean a complete detachment from reality.  You know when you get a new a pair of prescription glasses that your vision all of a sudden comes back into focus.  Well the same goes for our mental vision as well.

There are so many thoughts in our heads that are blurred just like for many of us our vision is blurred.  But just like your vision can be restored to normalcy, so can your thinking.   I only share these things with all of you hoping you’ll avoid walking into walls like I did thousands of times.

My mental vision used to say to me;  “Any day that is Not climatic is a failure, or each day you get up you will be hit with a disaster, or  how about this Scott Smith classic,  don’t enjoy anything so when you eventually lose it you wont feel bad.

So what’s the mental prescription to be restored to normalcy.  Well to start with the notion that everyday has to be climatic is just false, where is that written ?  But somewhere down the line it was written in my head and stayed there for years.  And how about the notion of each day you wake up you’ll be hit with a disaster ?  Another false pretense, nonetheless, stayed with me for decades.  Lastly, whoever said I shouldn’t enjoy anything because eventually it end, where is that written ?

I bring this up for my friends and family out here who might have some false pretenses of their own swimming around in their heads.  And if you do, it probably is really affecting the quality of your life, the same way a person who needs prescription glasses would be affected without his glasses for a couple of days, months or years.

Just some things to be aware of.   Signing off from Puerto Rico on day 148, Scot Smith for Sammy & Family.
