A Piece of Calm

So here’s the thing, yesterday I went through a plethora of emotions. I was agitated by the comment “you feel comfortable yet”? I hadn’t even started my walk yet, the weather was beautiful and the sun was shining. From my viewpoint why wouldn’t I be? Humph. I was confused. Maybe they were talking about my clothes, trying to make the most of my work out I added a layer, although I didn’t think that was the point of the question I allowed for it, or maybe just maybe I read too much into it. Whatever my thoughts I’ll just go with the latter. Then there’s this whole communication barrier that seems to exist in my household. It seems we’ve happened upon this un-welcomed interruption to our speaking lives and clearly it must be me who’s having the difficulty with translation. I suppose a little self-reflection wouldn’t hurt but I’ve been doing that all week and yes I will get the break through to the other side of understanding that we once shared. Besides to exist any other way well it has no nutritional-emotional benefits. Liked how I linked those words together basically I’m saying emotionally it’s unhealthy to not have good communication with the ones you love. And then there’s the issue of finding a space that I can breathe in, breathe deeply, exhale and renew both my internal and external atmosphere to a place of anchored but motioned stabilization. Why because I feel as if I’m missing something. That there’s a partitioning between what I know in my heart I feel and what others suggest. And more than curious I think I was upset that the little peace of calm that I needed seemed to wither away at some point on yesterday. But today is anew and it’s another chance to make it last oooh just a little bit longer today.

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.
