Gratitude has started to normalize for Escape. To prevent a loss, every financial pinch should be put up against how I feel about Escape or the thrill of how it all started. When I feel the pain of compromising or suffering from finance readjustment, think about Escape.
How do you keep the music playing?
How do you make it last?
How do you keep the song from fading
too fast?
…
I know the way I feel for you is now or never
The more I love, the more that I’m afraid
That in your eyes I may not see forever, forever
If we can be the best of lovers
Yet be the best of friends
If we can try with every day to make it better as it grows
With any luck than I suppose
The music never ends
[James Ingram and Patti Austin, “How Do You Keep the Music Playing”]
The worry I am having about traffic accidents: what is that? I don’t think focusing on something positive is exactly right. Even though Tim said, “…the way to get rid of that thought is to put your focus on some other topic or thought. If you put your energy into that thought, that’s where your focus goes.” Instead, something about the fear should get incorporated in the replacement thoughts. Use the fear to pay the right amount of attention to not being sloppy or careless. But certainly not to get spiraling into the wrong type of thinking.
Is Escape still my favorite thing? Yes and I want to be a good custodian to maintain the shiny warm gratitude; and the shiny ruby red coat.
