I KNEW There Would Be a PONY!!

ON MY MIND: This week, I read that people did not live in the same worlds.  Ever.  DUH!!!! But an 80 + year old woman or man does not live in the same world as a 30, 40, 50-year-old person.  Then, I remembered my days in Law School.  I knew that I had to think in a way that my classmates (who were younger) were thinking because most of my clients and business associates would be young and excited and motivated!!  And I wanted to be a successful lawyer. And, I was!

Then, I thought about my readers on Jayspeak.  And … Paris. I have things that I want to say, and I want people to want to read what I have to say. No one wants to know how to be a successful 80-year-old. OK, I do. And, maybe some others do. BUT, most of us want to be the age we feel in our heads (all ages). We all need to think in a way that is excited and motivated.

Hmmmmmm.

Then I pondered “thinking positively” about things – being young, excited, and motivated. There is so much negativity. What is realistic? Oh, who cares!  I don’t need to be realistic. I like looking for a pony in all of this shit.  I like a glass half full of water that is now a commodity!  HaHa.   Practice…..

In 2020, I moved to Paris!  MY Paradise!  It doesn’t have to be anyone else’s Paradise.  Then, I read in 2020, the following things happened (posted by another positive thinker on Facebook)……..

• The ozone hole over Antarctica closed
• Germany is changing 62 military bases into nature reserves 
• Whales came back to the Atlantic Ocean after more than 100 years (I don’t know about the dolphins)
• Great Britain reported the smallest number of people that became infected by HIV in history
• China, as the biggest air polluter in the world, committed to achieving zero emissions by 2060 (I was in Beijing.  It was terrible)
• The number of victims of terrorism decreased for the 5^th year in a row
• In 2020, people saved 48 animal species from extinction
• Scientist discovered 20 new plant and animal species; they also rediscovered some they thought were extinct
• Kazakhstan became the 88^th nation that committed to abolish the death penalty
• The elephant population in Kenya doubled
• Saudi Arabia and Palestine banned child marriages
• Demand for oil decreased for the first time in history and Denmark promised to end its mining.
• Scotland will provide menstrual aids to all women for free
• In Africa, polio has been completely eradicated.  THEY OWE IT THE VACCINE
• Vaccine against Covid-19 became the fastest developed vaccine in history. (Oops – is that good or bad?) 

Now, I am not superstitious, BUT if I were, I would be knocking on wood, 17 or 18 x3 times.  Anyway, that is good news if you need it. And…. maybe it is stretching a point here and there…. But you get the picture….

Meanwhile…. back in Paris and thinking young….  

Well, I need to get color back on my hair.  That make me think younger Haha.  And this cane doesn’t help.  So, while I think about a young approach to Jayspeak, I will post fun pictures and some memes that I like….
