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.

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 ...

Beautiful

Isn’t it funny how the innocent things make for lasting memories? That’s when I’m thankful that a little reflection is good on days like today. Not feeling the best and then you remember something that is altogether sweet. Like how sometimes you take, some times you give, but oh how special it is when together we create something hilariously indescribable…sometimes the unexpected happens and you remember just how special it was. And out of it comes something wonderfully funny, unbelievable and yes beautiful. And just how beautiful it is depends on you. So maybe today isn’t that day for you. But when that day or should I say night comes, I don’t know about you, but I plan on making it beautiful. Don’t know what I mean, listen to the link below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKbsjGol-TY Quote of the Day Often times we forget that part of being human is being spiritually grounded, finding your purpose, developing who you are, lending yourself to good works and yes loving and being in...

Thought For The Day

Boldness, is not abrasive, it’s fearless but not abrasive. It’s not about being scared or the absence of concern it’s about having the inner strength to make secure. Men wonder how a woman knows that something is wrong, extremely off- kilter. It’s when you don’t reach out your hand. It’s not about romance it’s about what you know you supply. When you don’t express the words to make it right, the right you know God expects of you. It sends a startling message that either your inner core is troubled or something is terribly wrong. This is not the case for everyone. It’s for those who want to impact, press in and touch the spirit of others. It’s for those bold souls who profess an uncommon love. There’s nothing sadder than the tears of a clown but there’s nothing more tragic than great strength without inner beauty. When you forget to make it right that becomes the building block or foundation of your legacy. So men you want to give a lasting gift this season… give her the gift of alway...
