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

Fragile

Fragile. Every day it is a challenge to stay positive. You wake up, you tell yourself all of these wonderful affirmations, you promise no matter what, P O S I T I V E. What if within all of this positivity you realize fate, time, it has all come to a moment, when that positive side, that strength...well you hit a bit of a break down? It's not o.k. right? Get over it, stop feeling sorry for yourself, everyone goes through worse...well you know what? What ever we all go through this is not a competition, and we are all built different. I think the main point MOST of us strive towards is to love, be good, kind, work hard, so we can play hard. Remember WORK TO LIVE, not LIVE TO WORK. Balance is the trick. The YING/YANG I have always told people on a bad day, a day they cry or just need to let loose, it's o.k. We are human and every once in a while you just have to cry. It's o.k. to feel overwhelmed? 7 years to the day I moved to this state, is 7 years to the date I'm abou...

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...

Amen Sista!

No kidding. It truly is amazing. The politics of certain elements needed to get something approved. Sometimes I think companies are wanting trouble. I mean really. If I were to follow...lets say a process to a certain company to get something approved, and they were trying to categorize it the wrong way to avoid payment. Don't they realize that there is still a trail of paperwork for the person following a correct process, to achieve the best results to complete that particular account/claim? Don't they want you to better the situation to resolve the matter? Do you want to spend more money trying to get out of something, than finding the quickest resolution and paying a much smaller price? I THINK NOT!!! O.K. I promised about relationships. Oh my young grasshoppers it has been fun listening. In relationships of ANY KIND...it will all depend. Stand on your ground, but you can not enjoy life if you have everything in a "this is how it's going to be". Haven'...
