Hey Ed, Well, you need to sell whatever it is that you have that allows you not have ANY negative thoughts or feelings! Congratulations!

HI Linda, That was a cute story. I will remember to use the Shiny truck :)

Hi Linda, Thanks for the invite. Beautiful truck indeed. My husband restores old vehicles. I know the labor of love that goes into those things. Think about it........something can be made shiny, new and beautiful with the labor of LOVE. And lots of time. It doesn't come quickly, but the results are fantastic. The true lesson of loss is the wonderful traits of forgiveness,compassion, and humility. If we "dump" our negativity, we're a little closer to those traits. Mine are "dumped" in your truck for the day. Thanks...........Pat p.s. You have a some wonderful websites. Keeps you busy, huh? And, while you're helping others, you're helping yourself. Great job !!

Hi Pat, You are absolutely right. I believe that we teach and share what we need to learn. Blessings to you!

Linda - Hi! I'm sorry I put off reading 'Shiny Red' until now. What an inspirational piece! And yes , I've got some stuff to throw in there - I'll use it to rid of some of the emotional garbage of the past 3yrs of my life. It takes a long time to let go of some issues. Now when I think of something painful - I can just chuck it into the truck. On a lighter note - I've got about 20 lbs to start off with plus a nagging cough I've had for a week that definitely are going to be 'trucked'. Everytime I run into a rude person - I now get to walk off with a smile on my face - because their negative energy has been Trucked! What a great switchword you have created for me !! Have an Awsome day my friend.
