Fortunate-ity

So this weekend was a wonderful weekend.  Full of family, friends, outings and good times.

As I've mentioned time and time before, my life is so full of blessings.  It makes me think about the concept of fortuitious.  What makes me so "lucky" to have been given these blessings?  What about those people that are facing a similar situation as mine, but do not have the resources for assistance, and therefore are worried and stressed about so much more than I?  What makes me and my circumstances special?  What makes God grant me these friends and family?  Is it that God helps those that help themselves?  Am I just special and deserve it?  Did I live the life God wanted me to?  I'm not sure it's the answer to any of those questions.  Talking with David, maybe its the way that God want human goodness and goodwill to spill over throughout the world.  I feel so wonderful by these people, that I want to go out and make others feel good.  People feel good about helping me, then they want to go and help more people, the more people they help, the more people are helped and then want to help some more: a positive cycle!

I watched this little video on the power of oxytocin as a trust hormone and that it increases human morality.  The researcher on it said that we could increase oxytocin production in our bodies by giving 8 hugs a day.  These hugs pass on oxytocin to others and increase trust and morality, or common sensibility to our fellow man.  I think that's a really good idea.  I'm finding that I really like hugs!  So, if you're around me, expect to probably get a hug!  I'm just in a touchy-feeling mood lately!

So....wow.  I'm gonna keep on trying to work through the meanings of all these blessings (hopefully that's not too presumptous of me?  To try to understand God?  But, just to find the peace in the understanding.)  I do like the idea of it creating to a positive mental picture in the world and helping right the wrongs of today's ego-driven society.

So, spiritual message and political message all in one!  Will wonders never cease for me!

Love you all and having a wonderful night!  Thank you all for joys and blessings! I pray that tomorrow finds you all safe and secure, healthy and happy; ready for a great new day!
