Thought For The Day

Fall is really here. For those of us who have been basking in this beautiful weather enjoy it while it last. While you're out though, don't forget to look at the leaves and see the change in color, if you see those burnt orange, copper and golden-wine leaves you know you've spotted the seasons changing however subtle it may be.

Fall also signifies the end of the year. Yep we're in the last quarter of the year; Thanksgiving is around the corner and Christmas not too far behind. But much like a cold winter's morning fall is a time of quiet reflection as well. With a cup of your favorite soup sitting in front of the computer working a quick glance out the window and your thoughts can drift away. You know what I say keep a notepad handy for quick thoughts that you can ponder on fully later.  While I was cooking soup and listening to some music these were the fleeting thoughts as I stood cooking a pot of comfort soup.

Love yourself in your wholeness and as you make all the adjustments for the better continue to love yourself. I've never seen such human destruction as we are seeing today. The easiest thing to do, which is to value each other has become the hardest thing to do, and the most destructive and damaging actions inflicted on one another has become the easiest. This I know to be true though:

Any man who knows how to treat a woman is valuable and a woman who can appreciate chivalry understands the pleasure of having such respect in her life. And when both these groups know the importance of not being moved by ill-directed projections you've become that much more in tune with each other in understanding the strength and value of wholeness in one another and together in your 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 ...

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.
