Early morning wisdom

Misunderstanding is preceded by lack of communication therefore make swift toward conversation.

Be swift in letting others know you value the friendship and relationship.

You can't say for anyone else what is due them. You just have to know what is due you.

Ladies, let not looks and charm be the illusion to draw you away from what you know to be right and pledge not to hurt friends because of it.

Make no excuse for trying to delay happiness when you yourself are wrapped in the arms of the one you love.

Don't accuse one of not being swift in their actions, only to follow them around and hinder their progress.

Don't profess the mountain achievable to climb if you are going to be the one striving to pull them down.

Don't take the bread nor the crumbs that one has created either by vision or accomplishment and then pity them when they have no food after you have taken it to make wealth for others.

To every woman who supports and encourages another, who shines their light so others can see, who has been a virtual mother, inspiration, and given wisdom to many- I salute you this day. For that too is one of the highest acts of civility known to mankind

The Day After Christmas

Christmas day was great. I didn't go to bed until the wee hours again and needless to say I was wrapping gifts at 4:30 that morning as the children rose ready to open their presents. It probably would be useless to most to continue wrapping when everyone would open them minutes after but I did so anyway. I like to do it and wrapping gifts is as much a part of the Christmas festivities as decorating the tree. And just as Christmas day was fun so was the day after.  We followed up Christmas dinner with a fish fry and a game of spades. It was great and me and my partner won the game. We had  great time laughing and kidding with each other. We listened to music and sang along. Nothing like those oldies but goodies. We all took part from the oldest to the youngest adding our voices to the music. To outsiders it may have seemed like no big deal but to me it was as much a part of loving each others as was the gift giving. I sat back and thought that's what ...

Where to...

Thought for the day Ethics should not be reduced so low that we ravage the innocence, moral character, or integrity of society. To do so is to morally bankrupt the fabric of our existence. You don't want to look around and have to wonder if there is anything good left to hold on to. I'll tell you the truth, TV has really opened my eyes. As I've said in previous posts, I've never been a big TV watcher. But the past several months has been a provocation of sorts. Many revelations have been positive and insightful but a great deal more have been heartbreaking. Albeit most shows are meant to entertain but, they still create opportunities to learn, often indicating we've got to check our internal compass to make sure we are headed in a positive direction, making our world a better place to live.

Thought For The Day

"Life is not about the destination but about the journey (quote from Movie Step Up 3) Towards the end of the movie one of the main characters Moose makes this statement. It resonated with my spirit because I believe that life is about both. The journey and the destination but, I totally understood the point he was making. So go on a little journey with me tonight as I share my thoughts and insights with you throughout the evening well unto the New Year. Also keep checking back with me. As we near the count down I am bringing a poem out of retirement that I wrote years ago. I don't know for how long but I think it's fitting as I look over 2010 and with anticipation as we head into 2011.
