Appreciate Yourself You are A Part of A Pattern

Have you every looked at patterns around you.  Like the way grass will blow together in a pattern?  How sand makes a beautiful pattern with the waves or how a weaver designs a rug, a piece of cloth.
Would it surprise you to know that we as human beings form a pattern that is not just functional but very beautiful.  Think of it.  YOU are a beautiful part of a whole pattern of loving universe of people.
Now I am not talking a religious belief at least not as you are thinking.  I am talking about how special you are.  Everyday I go shopping, play a fishing game on the internet, walk down the street, ride the city bus, and greet people and I am amazed at how rude people are and uncaring.
I realized that it is a chain reaction to each being made to feel they are not cared for or appreciated but I would like to try and break that chain by letting you know you are a gift to each of us.
Appreciate yourself as a part of a pattern that is both beautiful and unusual.  Wonderful and unreplaceable.  Here is just one link I found on appreciate yourself on the net: www.marcandangel.com ,  I also copied one saying from there that I thought was very interesting and true see what you think. 
I thought this was true because if we allow ourselves to stay were we feel unappreciated then we drown and become people willing to hurt others to make ourselves feel better and that starts and unending chain of hurting others.
So know that I appreciate you and please appreciate yourself YOU are worth it

Exploding Head Syndrome

Exploding Head Syndrome, until today I have never heard of this syndrome but I have experienced it for many years and have grown accustom to it thus not really thinking much about it.  Then my sister call me and said hey you need to do a blog article to let others know more about their night time explosions.
Have you ever just fallen to sleep and hear someone knock very hard at your door?  Or a loud explosion, perhaps a door opening or slamming shut, maybe even yet someone shout your name just as you are falling asleep?  Have you gotten up to check it out and found it quiet and everyone else snoring easily dreaming their dreams?  Then you to have experience the syndrome.
It is a rare but it does happen and starts at various ages,  the reasons are not know but can be anything from stress, medications, and fatigue are just a few of the possible causes but researchers have begun to take this more seriously.  Here on this web link I have found some interesting facts and testimonies.  On the ASA or American Sleep Association they describe it and add so additional ideas on what can be happening during these events here is the link.  Wikipedia calls it a auditory hallucinations, check out Wikipedia link.
Remember now this is a strange syndrome but it has caused no harm to anyone so relax and maybe reduce stress, exercise and eat healthy, here I am including a link from The Huffington Post, click here for link, in this article it gives you five things to do to battle Exploding Head Syndrome.  And one more thing if you know others that have experience this you may want to spread the word.

Blog

I read a blog post this morning about finding your writing voice.  The blog did not give any ideas on how to do this just talked about how they were told that their writing voice was sharp, full of strength and sometimes startling.  Well they have almost 2 thousands followers so they must be doing something right?
So I began looking at the news media on the web to get an idea about what people want to read and what did I find?  (Things you need to know about the foods a President eats. Meet the father and daughter that used to be mother and son. What age should you stop wearing jeans.)   Don't get me wrong there is some reasonable news out there but lately the more gossipy or odd or terrifying  the news is the better. 
I had thought that starting blogging would be an interesting and it is plus it is fun but it is discouraging as well  Hard to get noticed our to find an interest point.  I had wanted to write cheerful and encouraging things to help each of us to in someway turn to a world were we are satisfied with ourselves and happy with a daily existence.  So I will push on to see what I can find to offer. 

Five Things I Like About My Blog on Blogger

 I have been doing a blog on wordpress and I have liked it but getting it noticed has been hard so with my account coming up for repayment I decided to move and try blogger.  It is turning out to be a wise decision.  I have been busy moving and writing on blogger and am surprised by the attention I have already received.
So let me list for you the five things I like right now about blogger.

• Easy to use.  Formatting is easy to use and uploaded pictures are already placed into you post the right size for the ease of web page use by your readers.
• I get good grades from the website testers.  Which before no matter how much I tried I could not raise some of them.  Showing that blogger takes care of you.
• The page is clean and neat looking. 
• Seems to get you out there an noticed sooner.
• The authors of the site explain everything to you as far as how to write, what your rights are and theirs, how to run ads on your site successfully.
