What we see, hear, feel, sense and so on all comes into our brains and is filtered by our perceptions. How we process our information is directly related to how we perceive similar situations. Sometimes we make decisions about what we take in based on our past experiences with similar infor- mation. For example, if we sense that someone is mad at us, we may react based on a different time when someone was mad at us and how that particular event played out. If it went well, we may react to some- one's displeasure with a calmness and a willingness to talk things out. If the prior encounter ended in yelling and screaming, we may brace ourselves for what we expect to be a bumpy ride. Perception is 9/10's of your problem. A lot of people spend a lot of time making assumptions that are way off target. Sometimes we make things that aren't personal, personal. Sometimes we create thoughts and scenarios in our heads that aren't true, yet they are true to us. Say you are at work and your boss walks right passed you and doesn't say a word. You start to worry that it is about you. That something you did is on their mind. You start to replay anything and everything that you have done in the last two days and if you did do any- thing wrong, it begins to magnify in your head causing you to sweat and worry. You go home and in your anxiety, you scream at your kids and have a fight with your spouse. The next day you go into work without much sleep and you prepare yourself for the worst. The boss walks in and says hello and you sense that nothing is wrong. What does it all mean? Well, maybe it meant that your boss had any number of other things happen to them that never had any- thing to do with you and it was your perception that their silence was about you that caused all your stress. We are ego centric beings. We tend to gauge the world based on how it reflects on, affects and revolves around us. We per- ceive things that happen based on how they directly relate to us. If bad things have happened to you in life, you may have developed a doom and gloom perception filter. This is a challenging way to go through life. Living like this makes for a very sensitive person. It makes it difficult for people in deal with you because you are always expecting to be pleased with them and that isn't a realistic life standard. You will not always be pleased with other people and they will not always be pleased with you. your life to Faydra Rector You Matter You may feel like no one under- stands you and that you can't catch a break. If you are finding yourself at odds with people in more than one or two areas of life, chances are you are perceiving them incorrectly and have become a bit para- noid about their motives. If you have issues with people in your family, one or two at work and one or three in the community, you may want to evaluate what thinking has you at odds with so many people. While it is normal to not see things eye-to-eye with some- one now and then, it isn't as healthy to be someone who is feuding with one or two people from every aspect of life. How you perceive something creates whatever your reality is. Everything in life simply 'is' until you attach a meaning to it. Make sure that the meaning you are attaching is healthy, in your best interest and is solution focused. There is a certain amount if paranoia that comes with poor perception. You may feel that peo- ple are out to get you all the time. Faydra Rector, MA is a mental health administrator, author, public speaker, educator and life coach who lives in Red Bluff.

To the people of Tehama county: I was the majority candidate for District Attorney at the Primary election with a lead of 426 votes over my pre- sent opponent. It has seemed to me that I owed it to the people who so generously supported me to make a thor- ough canvas of the county. This I have attempted to do. But I have not engaged in mud slinging, or countenanced it. If I win I shall win upon my own merits and my own qualifications for the office, and not by reason of any alleged weakness or shortcoming of my opponent. — Nov. 6, 1922 Pugh Comes Through With Clean Hands Courtesy photo Durango RV Resort and Tehama County Search and Rescue volunteers would like to thank everyone who participated in making the Oct. 20 fundraiser such a successful event.

Veterans toast set for Sunday in Red Bluff Members of Red Bluff's American Legion will lead The guns fell silent on the 11th month, 11th day and the 11th hour in 1918 ending the fighting and blood- shed of World War I. Formerly known as Armistice Day, Poppy Day, Remembrance Day and now Veteran's Day in the USA, this day is dedicated to celebrate all veterans on the 11th day of November each year. This also started the tradition of many organizations to propose a toast to salute all who have served at exact- ly this hour and day. As the fighting ended in France, it has become tradition to use cognac in this toast. The Round Up Saloon and North State Properties have donated the Cognac for this year's salute written by David Baldwin: To those who have served: I raise my glass in salute to you, and thank you for your service past. To those who are serving now: I raise my glass again and salute your service now. To those who are serving now in harms way, be it war, or peace keeping away from the comforts of home and the love of family: I raise my glass once again for your sacrifice, your courage and your grit. I then bow my knees in prayer for your safety, for your comfort and for a swift homecoming. To those who have died: I stand in silent salute to thank you for your ultimate sacrifice, never forgotten, never taken for granted, your gift to past, present and future generations of life liberty and the pursuit of hap- piness. To all who have served honorably: I salute you. The public is invited to participate in the Veterans Breakfast and this salute. Breakfast is free to veterans and service members and $5 for all others. For more information or tickets call 528-8000.
