"He was full of explanations, none of which were true, and Rachel did not believe him. 
He was lying and she knew it. It was a sad and dangerous game they were playing. Mike's semantics reminded her of “Gaslight,” an old movie, that depicted a husband trying to portray his wife as crazy. It was the old turnaround routine. " 

"Softly, she declared, You forget, I was an only child, and I never learned to share." 

Editor's note: 
Knowing was harder. There was so much to navigate. Feelings of helplessness, fear and always, the children. 
She tried to maintain her everyday routine, but it was A LOT! An explosion was happening within her!!

FEELING OF FEAR

         THE FEELING OF FEAR ENCOMPASSES FRIGHT, TERROR AND SCARED REACTIONS

My most significant fear is the state of world dissension. History records times of protests, crisis, and wars from forces resistant to democracy and peace. Currently, rivalry for power is back among countries. We must be on point to navigate erupting issues. It is frightening to think of war, in light of new and existing destructive weapons. 

A moment of levity...

Question: What do you think is the month of the year, most hated by new military enlistees? 
Answer: "MARCH!"
 

I believe that Albert Einstein said it best in his following descriptive comment: 
          "I know not what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks
           
and stones.." 


                                                 "IT MAKES ME SHUDDER !!"

The wheel of feeling

I was going to start with: “Imagine a large wheel with...”  I thought about this sentence and
said, “Why imagine? Let’s place this wheel here!” 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 



​














​This wheel is in my home as a reference point.  It enables me to initiate multiple  moods while generating stories, discussions etc.  After all, what is a mood? Is it a FEELING or a state of mind? The important difference between the two is that FEELINGS are brief and short-term. They will morph into a state of mind, if not put in check. Your state of mind is more durable.

So, what are these short-lived feelings that control us? The six fundamental feelings in the center of the Wheel of Feeling are: 
  1. Fear
  2. Anger
  3. Disgust
  4. Surprise
  5. Happiness
  6. Sadness 
As you continue to revolve around this chart, and gear towards the outer edges in each triangle, you will see how these 6 FEELINGS can develop. For instance, happiness exudes a feeling of being proud and feeling accepted. They in turn, allow you to feel confident, respected, important, and fulfilled. Let’s stay with Happy.   That’s a good one!
 
With Happy in mind, what are the 5 elements to find in men in order to make a woman happy?
  1. Find a man who can make you laugh.
  2. Find a man who will listen to you.
  3. Find a man who makes your life secure.
  4. Find a man who is great in bed.
  5. Please be certain that these 4 men, don’t find out about each other……….LOL-LOL-LOL
 
So sorry guys...could not resist! But to be fair, just replace the word men with women. You will see neither sex is so different in their needs.
