THE FOLLOWING MATERIAL IS COPYRIGHTED BY RICHARD E. HAMON II, 2007. This is an excerpt from the first chapter of my ebook about the day of my near death experience (NDE). "A Good Day To Die: A Fateful Day In December December 07, 2003. It was a beautiful day, bright, sunny and warm, and a splendid blue sky floated from ridge to horizon. The pastures were still and green. It was a good day to die. But an equally fine day to live, or to try. While playing basketball at my home in the country, a searing pain ripped through my chest. The pain felt like nothing I had ever known, but reminded me of a bad muscle pull. It came in two short, knifing bursts. Falling to my knees, then all-fours, I rolled onto the pavement, groaning. Alarmed, my two Belgian Sheepdogs ran to my side. One laid on top of me, as if trying to comfort me, and the other repeatedly licked me. I had never seen them behave like this. They knew instinctively that something was terribly wrong.  This page introduces the first major revelation of my NDE. Number seven is an insight that is dear to me. Perhaps because I should have seen it all along. Oh, I saw the fringes, but not the core of it . . . until my near death experience. Although people in a relationship often become fixated on their differences, and allow petty differences to divide them, the differences shouldn't matter so much. We make a big deal of our disagreements and different opinions, yet that only undermines the relationship. And lowers each partner's dignity. The differences betweeen people are not nearly as important as the likenesses. When close to death, I had a novel thought: Differences? What differences? All that counts is our love for one another. The page below is taken from the chapter on dealing with foul moods and bringing more light into your relationships. It reveals a few tips from that section. "Try these proven techniques for making a foul mood fizzle. ● When the next foul mood hits, take action immediately – don’t wait for the dark clouds to go away. Just take action. Pull some weeds. Wash the car. Walk the dog. Do SOMETHING. Engage in a constructive activity. Throw yourself into a hobby or something you enjoy. The dark clouds will begin to disappear. ● Do a good deed for someone. Make someone’s day. Once you throw yourself into a good-will project, your blues will disappear. Take the elderly neighbor supper. Shovel your parents’ driveway. Cut out an article and send it to someone. This is so easy to do. Just start thinking of someone you love. Think of something you can do for him. And do it. Those sickening feelings of despair will remit. ● Go for a walk or jog. A brisk walk will have you swinging your arms and breathing deeply in a hurry. You can watch the birds and study the flowers. Exercise works wonders. Actually, physical activity of any kind will make you feel better. Note: Usually, I have to walk alone – until I feel better, at which time I can walk with someone. ● Expressing gratitude is a powerful tonic that opens the gateway to other positive emotions and experiences. So, write a kind letter or thank you note. I have written letters to people who needed cheering up, and I ended up feeling better. Any time you can say thank you, you will feel a little glow in your solar plexis. And the gloomy world looks a little sunnier. Note: This never fails to work for me. As soon as I say “thank you,” assuming that I feel it from the heart, my foul mood starts to lift. It’s one of the most powerful, positive drugs I know! This is the final excerpt. I hope you have enjoyed getting a sneak preview of my ebook. This page is about going above mediocre relationships and building truly great ones.
