Challenging Times Can Bring About Correction

When things get crazy and the earth feels like it's tilting, sometimes you have to stop, pause, and say do I have the right perspective, am I moving in the right direction, and is this the best decision. Channeling your emotions can be difficult, and for some it takes discipline but it is worth investing the time and practices of learning to do so into ourselves and our children.

I can remember my grandmother telling me several times "you'll learn" and "right don't wrong nobody". This was the usual comment followed by some wise advice. And don't you know when I was younger I hated it. But now that I'm older I so appreciate the wisdom she shared. It has caused me to understand a many things about myself, people, and life.

A wise woman (or man) knows when to take corrective measures to make sure they're headed in the right direction. Besides what would be the point of continuing otherwise.

Believe it or not many of us do it all the time just not for ourselves. We travel the world with our garmins and if we get off course it tells us to change directions. We often do so with out any thought because we have a destination in mind and our device is helping us to get there. So why not make these same adjustments for ourselves.

Just thinking

Love is the thing that makes you smile, knows when you need a hug, supports you when you need uplifting, is a calming force, an ally when needed, but more importantly a hand to hold in times good, bad, and otherwise. Love is not be feared. But we should fear never giving ourselves and truly loving.

A Nice Breeze and a Bit of Perspective

As I stated yesterday I went for a walk and enjoyable it was. It was windy and I loved it. 70 degrees and a breeze didn't make for a bad time outdoors at all. Needless to say it brought yesterday's earlier agitation (read totally perturbed) to a simmer and provided an interesting perspective. I relished the blowing air and thought about my time in college. It was great and I got through it with out too much drama or incident (with the exception of a few memorables, which is for another day another post). That being said, I didn't drink, smoke or experiment with drugs. I don't say that as some type of badge of honor because that's not the case at all. But it was apparent, that somewhere along the way I truly believed what my grandparents told me growing up about character, honor, and integrity. However, the older I get I've grown wary or maybe even cynical at what maybe appears to be watered-down standards we've immersed ourselves in society. Notice I say

Movie Watch

Keep the reel running. Just kidding kinda. Actually I say that because I was not a big TV person(literally). It was not uncommon for several weeks to go by with out me turning it on. But I've probably watched more TV this year than I have ever. That being said, I've learned a few things. TV has given me a different perspective on life. Not entirely but enough to learn something. Of course some of the greatest fun I've had is identifying what I like and don't like about the films and why. Some lessons learned have come out of the most unsuspecting shows. Here's something interesting to do, think about the movies and TV shows you've seen this year and think about how they have made you ponder during the 1st decade of the 21st Century. Here's one of the realizations I've discovered in 2010. People can be reckless with the lives of others. And after having learned that, here's the reality check I got in my own life- those who are reckless in their ca
