Mile In These Shoes...

Walk a mile in my shoes....I heard that new song the other day and it made me think....

Who said that your problems are worse than theirs or vice versa? I have never believed no matter what I'm going through that my roadblocks are more important than those of others. I do believe and have learned recently that when something comes up deal with it to the best of your ability and move ahead, because as I've been told, no one wants to hear you whine over and over. Situations affect us all in very different ways. What is on the top of one persons list might be on the bottom of another list, and what is that last thought of one person might be the top priority of another.

Every day we pray, wish, hope that we can reach the goal that we have set out for ourselves. Some things surprise us, some situations take us by surprise, and some moments take our breath away so much that it inspires us to strive for more. Crossroads appear in life, and as soon as you pick which way to go, roadblocks pop up. Those mean take a step back and re evaluate your situation. I imagine once the doubt is cleared you keep moving forward.

I heard a great quote the other day :
"Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't." So true. Our inner voice tells us what it is we want, and what it is that we need to do, but so many things attribute doubt that you double guess your happiness. All I know is if you don't shed your shells, end up where you would like, keep the people that fulfill you close it will be difficult to reach true happiness, and I was told "Get it straight, and welcome to life!" It's funny you know ...I see my self as an observer. I listen...YES I DO...and try to take in different views. We live in such a diverse world full of so many incredible people, things, opportunities, it would just be uneducated to not to not listen, view, try, you get the point.

Friends are our new families. As we get older, and enjoy our immediate family, we also realize as we make our own lives that family becomes extended with friends, because in the end as we all get older that is the new generation family that will be by your side. I miss my extended family, and slowly settling back home, I look forward to catching up with everyone in Florida.

Thank you all for your observations. Keep them coming.

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...

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...

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...
