Intentions


What a day. I guess being bilingual, having a huge heart , having passion, and choice of words has advantages, and disadvantages. It sometimes is a disadvantage depending what language you choose to express what needs to be said...when I speak English, I'm thinking Spanish, and when I speak Spanish, I'm thinking in English. I've been told that I'm one of the most direct people some have met, that I leave no stone unturned in communication, yet ...sometimes I wonder what people have taken away from the conversation? It also seems more difficult to express on a post, e-mail, where you are unable to hear the tone the message delivers. There are three sides to everyone. The positive, the one we all try to stay in, the one that motivates us, the one that propels us forward in all of our endeavors. The second side...the business side. The side that propels us to look, act, fit, talk, push, strive, and figure out how to get a product/point/resolution to whatever it is we are trying to achieve. Finally the side that has had it. The side I call " No Mas" That is the side that breaks all the etiquette, buffering, and worries for the other end....is this really the side we all must use most of the time? Have we really reached a society where people question intentions? I'm told Cathy you don't have to explain yourself, why? Well maybe because we have all be done over (for a better choice of words) so many times that I feel sometimes people really do doubt when someone helps, reaches out, or just does something, that they are out to do you over. I live by the mo do, as long as your intentions are good, doesn't mean they will always work out that way, but as long as you mind, heart, soul, body is in the right place, things will pan out and you can sleep at night...look at your reflection in the morning. You can still look out for your self, just remember to not be so selfish, there is a difference, a huge difference. Maybe if we all took a little time to think about that...all these depressions, illnesses, and lack of communication wouldn't be such a large part of our world.

What do you think?

I don't know if it is good that it has taken me this long to read this blog or not. You see, I am feeling a little bitter with life right now. Not with anyone or anything specific but just life. One example, I went to the store the other day and needed to get by with my basket and politely said excuse me to the lady who was in my way she heard me and she saw me and gave me the ugliest look and moved about 2 inches just enough for me to be able to get by. Of course this made me very angry so I replied very rude "Thank You". I had good "Intentions" but she ticked me off!! I have been noticing while driving to and from work or while running errands during lunch the amount of people that are like myself rushed for time. We are all on cell phones trying to beat the red light and the school zones. The other morning the man behind me was going to give himself a heart attack, throwing up his arms and screaming in his car at me because I could not or as he thought he saw would not intentionally get out of his way so he could get to his office on time. Again my intentions were not to make him upset he choose to be angry. All I know is that we have a choice to either be happy or mad a choice to be good to those we come in contact with or to be ugly to. We all have the same 24 hours in a day and we should all have good intentions with what we put into it. Thanks for posting your blog Cat, XOXO Holly

End Scene

Sometimes you stand on the edge looking down wondering what could possibly be next? Just when you think you have it all figured out, when it just couldn't surprise you anymore, bam there it is.  There is this thing in life called responsibility. We live in a society that is so wonderful at pointing fingers no one knows the value of sucking it up anymore and taking responsibility for hurting someone, neglecting their care. Money can buy you things, but it can not buy you health nor happiness.  Money can buy you the fancier brand, but it can not buy you class.  In your quiet moments, what do you think about?  How far you’ve come, or how far you have to go?  Your strengths, or your weaknesses?  The best that might happen, or the worst that might come to be?  In your quiet moments, pay attention to your thoughts.  Because maybe, just maybe, the only thing that needs to shift in order for you to experience more happiness, more love, and more vita...

Amor, Amor, Amor

It has been an interesting few weeks understanding loves. Understanding friends relationships, understanding how much so many of us have in common (or do we? you know who you are). In the past few blogs I was writing about why so many hurt, suffer pain. I had seen so many extremes and how it was one thing or another and the only one thing in every relationship that you can overdose on( and it is o.k.) is communication (how ever you choose to express it, or how creative you want to get). It is so hard at times watching relationships where you can see the love so clearly but I don't know if it's pride, or fear that people hold back what they need to say? I know that sometimes it is easier to tell an indirect person what you want to say due to being let down, or hurt just flat out sucks, but wouldn't it suck more to just miss out on something amazing or find out now if it is even worth all that worry? We get this great opportunity at life. We have the ability to communicat...

College Football Saturday Thoughts

"Oh brother" that is all I can say about some comments through out the various sites. Everyone is entitled to their O P I N I O N S...careful about what words you choose...WHY? Figure it out. I am truly blessed to have the relationships in my life that I have...I love that I am surrounded by people of faith, love, family, and positivity. I am blessed to be surrounded by very faithful people that realize to appreciate GOD or whatever higher power you choose, you don't have to jam it down someone's throat or make it a point to explain all the time. Having faith or beliefs all you have to do is take those lessons of life, and faith and apply them to your day to day interactions. It's not how hard you practice at your faith, it's whether or not you are truly learning and living as you are being taught. Many are not, and say they are.... Always take the higher road, and never poke at someone's ego. That is all I will discuss about this topic because faith is...
