A conversation between two...

Every major decision should be given thought and made with great care. That is why I do not believe in or agree to unspoken expectations or hidden agendas. They are of no positive consequence and do not add value to your life.

While talking with someone they used a comparison that involved two family members and their birthrights. The analogy is derived from a famous story in the bible. I was really perplexed by the analogy and had to give it a great deal of thought. I didn't understand what they were trying to convey put it did provoke my consciousness regarding the strength and love of relationships.

To honor or value any relationship you must have open communication. It would be dangerous emotionally and otherwise to share your life with someone who did not value what is significant to you or what is rightfully yours. Value added relationships are a positive addition to your life not a detraction. Be cautious with those who have no thought to the important things in your life. Communication allows individuals in a relationship to determine best interest. We go through life and share a great deal with many but important factors should be reserved for a select few. Why?
There are several types of relationships and you can distinguish them by how well you communicate and value you each other. How you value one another determines the strength of the relationship. Love does not put one in bondage but it finds an agreeable means by which two or more can exist together.

I grew up hearing, how can two walk together unless they agree. The older I get the more I know it to be true. This can apply to every important relationship you have.

During this month heading into the next, look for thought provoking questions and discussions on the value and impact of positive relationships

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.
