What are the odds?

On June 10 2010 I posted an article about Pentagon using aromatherapy to help ease combat stress. (Crying soldier) The picture I used was random and I chose it because it  touched me deeply. A couple of days ago I received a comment with information about that picture: “The photo is from The Gulf War 1, Sgt. Ken Kozakiewicz, Bradley M-60 gunner. His friend, Spc. Andy Alaniz is in the body bag on the same helicopter.

What are the odds for this to happen?

This has actually happened once before when I chose a random pic because it spoke to me, and that was on the post massage and premature babies that I wrote August 24 2009. The lady who wrote me was part of the team in that hospital.

Thank You people for reading me and Thank You for these magical moments of connection!

MIND-SET

We might think that we can’t control ourselves or our feelings when things get overwhelming, but we can – and we do. Look at all the children in the world that suffer through the most horrendous stuff; how do they survive?

They go to another place in their heads; a place where everything is beautiful and alright. Where there is play and music and colours, where nothing hurts.

There are millions of people out there in the world, suffering through things we can hardly acknowledge for the horror it brings, and they are doing it all the time: They change their mind-set.

You did it when you were a child, that’s how you got through all those difficult or awful times. And you always survived, didn’t you? I did. So next time when your mind is a black cave of horrors and your heart is filled with dread; go somewhere else, a place where you feel joy, real or imagined, and fill your mind with wondrous pictures. Trust me, you will feel better and sometimes this is when you get the best solutions.
