If you catch yourself in a cycle of trying to change
someone, or defending yourself against someone who is trying to change you, walk away. But if you are pursuing a dream, take another step. And don’t forget that sometimes this step will involve modifying your dream, or planning a new one, it’s
OK to change your mind or have more than one dream...

Make yourself necessary to someone

No one is ever obligated to love you back. Sometimes you’re the one breaking your own heart because you anticipated and expected something, and that doesn’t automatically mean they were supposed to reciprocate. You can either dwell, or move on with the knowledge that just because they didn’t love you doesn’t mean you’re any less lovable.

The paradox of our time in history is that we
have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider
Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend
more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less.
We have bigger houses and smaller families, more
conveniences, but less time.

We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.

We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life. We’ve added years to life not life to years. We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We’ve done larger things, but not better things. We’ve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We’ve conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We’ve learned to rush, but not to wait.

We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less. These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes.

These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the
showroom window and nothing in the stockroom.
A time when technology can bring this letter to
you, and a time when you can choose either to
share this insight, or to just hit delete…

Remember, to spend some time with your loved
ones, because they are not going to be around
forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone
who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to
you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn’t cost a cent. Remember, to say, “I love you” to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it.

A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it
comes from deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person might not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind... #Jt

The first step is never easy.

The beginnings to good things are always the hardest, but it’s these hard times that pave the path to greatness. Be strong and keep the faith. It will be worth it in the end. The greatest miracle of your success in life will not be that you finished, it will be that you found the strength and courage to begin.

And remember, it’s not that those who are strong
never get weak in the knees, or that they never hold their breath before they embark… It’s that while their knees are shaking, they force themselves to breathe and take the first step... #Jt

With real joy comes real pain.

Any time we fully experience true joy or feel the
preciousness of life on an emotional level, we can
expect to feel a great amount of sadness. Many
of us shy away from the things that would make
us happiest, because they also make us feel pain.
The opposite is also true. We cannot selectively
numb ourselves to sadness without numbing
ourselves to joy. When it comes to falling in love,
we may be hesitant to go “all in,” for fear of the
sadness it would stir up in us.

Be the best that you can be unless your best at being an a**hole, in that case, be at your worst.

I sit here this evening a happy and very lucky person.

I received news that the government has agreed with me in a dispute on my separation date and I am patiently waiting for a new friend to come home so we can chat.

Believe it or note this site has given me more confidence than I ever dreamed of, especially in such a short time. 13 days is not long at all but I feel welcomed and accepted and am extremely happy that I signed up and am continuing to move forward.....lol

Today was a long but very constructive day. We are getting the back half of our house ready to move into for the winter. As the house is completely gutted you can imagine the work we are having to put into it to make it happen. But the weather is getting so much colder up here remaining in a cottage with no heat means time is just about to run out. I think we should have it good to go by the weekend...thankfully...lol

Funny the first blog seemed so much easier to write than this one. Maybe I just need to be tired and up at 1:30am to get the inspiration required...lol

Anyway I will be back again as soon as I am able.

Enjoy blogging
