It sure would be nice...

If we were able to achieve everything that we set out to do, when we set out to do them.

But life always changes and it seems to change our focus on what was important in the past, to what is important in the future.

So don't worry about not achieving everything we set out to, just focus on what makes the most sense as time passes.

Just like popcorn, some of them pop and some of them don't.

But the ones that do, are the ones that got most of the energy.

We can't live forever...

And on first thought, it would be nice to.

But what happens if we did live forever?

Our family would die off and our friends would pass on too, leaving us all
alone.

So on second thought, maybe it's not the best that we live forever,
just do all we can with the one life we have.

That may make more sense.

Let's not end up like...

Sisyphus...

The cat in Greek Mythology who had to roll up a huge stone up a
steep hill, just to watch it roll back down, and continue to do it for
eternity.

He was made to do this because Sisyphus wasn't too kind to people. He
would kill, and pretty much take whatever he wanted, without regard to
others...basically a punk.

Sisyphus thought he was clever, but was just a little too big for his
"britches", and continually overstepped his bounds. So after he got a
little too clever, Zues showed him his own form of cleverness by banishing
him to an eternity of frustration.

Smell and Dreams?

Yes there is a correlation between the types of dreams we have, and
smell.

Studies were conducted where a rose scent was administered, and it resulted
in dreams that were "tinted" as pleasant, where as a sulfuric scent of
rotten eggs, resulted in dreams that were "colored" negatively.

The understanding was that smells and odors influenced dreams through
emotion, rather than through the direct incorporation of smells.

That is because smell and emotion are in the same part of the brain,
the limbic system and there is a link between this system and the
sleep centers of the brain.

So it may be wise to have some nice smelling items around our bed or bedroom
that will give us the pleasant dreams and sleep we all like to have.
