Love always and all ways, Bob and Marianne Perks ******************************************** All stories copyright 2007 Bob Perks Today's message: "Phantom Vibes" by Bob Perks It almost sounds mystical doesn't it. I may have even mentioned this to you before. You may even understand what
I am talking about and experience your own "vibes." Today, it all made sense to me. I carry my cell phone on my belt in a small holder. The phone can ring, vibrate or both. I use the vibrate feature when I am in a meeting, the theater, out to dinner or simply when I don't want to hear it. It vibrates, I look to see who it is and determine if I need to speak to them immediately or call them later. Truthfully, I wish they never created cell phones, call waiting, call forwarding, caller ID or voice mail. I'm going to sound old now...I can remember when you called someone and if the line was busy, you tried later. If it kept ringing and no one answered, you knew immediately they weren't home. When I left the house I didn't fret because no one could reach me. I kinda liked the idea. Anyway, now that I have a cell phone that haunts me by vibrating, I keep thinking I can feel it virating. I
mean a dozen times a day I reach down without thinking and place my hand on the phone because I THINK it's vibrating. Ready for this? I've done it even when I didn't have the phone with me! I call them "Phantom Vibes!" But, here was my "ah ha!" moment today. I do this with habits I've picked up along the way. They are the little things that control me. They are the little
negative thoughts that make me NOT do what my heart tells me to do. They are the little memories of things I've said and regret and the things I've should have said and didn't. Phantom Vibes that make me question myself even when I don't need to. I can remember when I was a kid visiting the old Atlantic City Steel Pier. Featured in the front was a dancing chicken. You put a dime in and the chicken would dance. Sadly, it did this only because feed would come out at the end of the song. One would
also play tic tac toe with you. My point is, sometimes we become the chicken. A light goes on and we respond without thinking. We are controlled by old habits that have no value in our lives. Phantom Vibes. Want to stop them? Talk to yourself. Every time a negative thought, memory or "vibe" pops up, reject it out loud (if you are alone.) Or simply say, "No!" to yourself. If it is an image, picture yourself
picking it up and throwing it away, in a box with a key, in the garbage or see yourself rolling it up in a ball and throwing it as far as you can. If you have Phantom Vibes from your cell phone, I dare you to leave it home the next time you go out. You can do it! I know you ca... I've got to go. My phone's ringing. I think. ( Remember Atlantic City? Here's a site I just found with old pictures... "I believe in you!" Bob I encourage you to share my stories but I do ask that you keep my name and contact information with my work. ********************************************* Comments: Have a comment about today's story? please write to "2 believe @ comcast .net" (spaces were placed between words in email address for security) "I Wish You enough!" © 2001 Bob Perks I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive. I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger. I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting. I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess. I wish you enough "Hello's" to get you through the final "Goodbye." |
