As to the mental attitude here, – cultivate more that of affability. Not that there is a finding of fault in the present, but rather the condition of the general nervous system has been such as to cause the least disturbance to upset the body. SMILE and laugh often. Seek to find and read those things that are of humorous natures, rather than those that are morose.
Daily Application of Selected Cayce Readings

When Your Friends Change
Let the spiritual be the guide-the material will take their place.
Based on Edgar Cayce reading 288-37
At first Carl and Paula just wondered why the Simpsons hadn't called for several weeks. However, when Paula called to suggest that they all meet at some time for dinner, the Simpsons said they were busy every evening that Paula suggested. Paula and Carl considered this strange and began to wonder if they had insulted them in some way.
They examined the last six months of their lives. Six months ago they were going to cocktail parties every weekend. They went out with the Simpsons and several other couples regularly, but now they saw only one of these couples.
When they looked for reasons for this change, they realized that six months ago they had gotten involved in a metaphysical discussion group. They also noticed they had slowly stopped attending cocktail parties. They now preferred to talk with friends over dinner or attend lectures and discuss them.
Paula and Carl finally concluded that they hadn't done anything to the Simpsons. They had begun a new spiritual journey for themselves. Their interests had changed. Now their friends were people with interests in metaphysical subjects. It was just the old fading away to make way for the new.
APPLICATION: As you travel a spiritual journey, you will find interests and friends changing. Affirm this as a part of your new journey through life.
