Me-Time

As always, if I'm frustrated a long drive with some scenery allows me time to think and release what's in my heart and mind. It's amazing the contrasting imagery and homes you see when traveling a long road. I know there's debate over whether ignorance is bliss but one thing’s for sure perspective is everything. So much so that it was hard to capture my feelings-most thoughts were coming as fast as I was driving those winding curves and hills that was only two lanes. It was those coming and going. I was literally going no-where I was merely driving but I wondered how many were headed home in this beautiful piece of land carved out for residential living. The sprawling land between each home was the landscape and backdrop to my many feelings, feelings that I imagine would be like the dew resting on those lawns come morning. As I kept driving I kept saying to myself what do you see? What do you see? The question was more figurative than it was literal. It was more like what is your heart feeling because of what you see? Of course there are too many to type here, besides some thoughts were personal and was for me and only me after all this was my me-time. But in this moment this one thing was clear to me...Regardless to your socioeconomic status, how big or small your pocket-book or the size of your home this I know to be true and that is behind those four walls every man has to make his house a home.

I've been thinking about that since I got home and am still translating and processing what that means to me. One thing’s for sure, I don't plan on doing things quite the same. Nothing major just small changes of doing what I need to better me. Today’s drive was just another small whisper that is saying listen to your heart.

Moments in Love (I shared this with you in 2013) I thought it was a great way to say hello again and wish you Happy Valentines Day

Moments in Love (Reflections by Taneisa Grier) Real & true love isn't sacrificial. Only fools choose to loose time for tomorrows that aren't promised. It's our "todays" love that even carries us to the future love. Find me a "man" who’s experienced health and prosperity and see if he discounts love as being a measure of that blessing. To each its own though. But for me-bid me a love that is true and sweet. A memory of a portion of "good" love may seem like forever in a short span of time. The feeling never leaving and the essence of a touch, though fading still remembered.   "I traced his steps back to the place" where I first exhaled and realized the beauty of this moment is in the feelings that I carry away after the exchange. If fleeting, we might call it lust. But if this pure moment is lasting, we have just seen the love of God in each of us, mirrored reflection of "on earth as it is in heaven". Might I be a b...

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.

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 ...
