Tiger True there's no one between me & my heart. But so far it has guided in the correct way. It hasn't stirred me in the wrong direction. Some see relgion as a guide, to guide them & to live by....nothing wrong with that. But at the end of the day, it is me who makes the choice to live my life. I may have different "guides" who give guidance, but its me to stears the direction of my life.
Angelpepper I don't talk about religion myself, there's lots I don't about it. I some things tho. I've learned to respect others beliefs, since its their right to do so. No one should look down on another for their difference in viewpoints. There is no right or wrong. Regardless of your beliefs on religion, its disrespectful to "attack". When it comes to discussions on relgion, I lose interest....why?....it can get heated & its not because I don't care.
PS...I'm doing ok, its late at night at the moment. I finally have the time to respond to the comments. I had a busy 2 days. How are you?
Welea The last time I was at church was last christmas. I went with my boyfriends family. He grew going to church. I didn't. He goes on holidays now. We both have different religious backgrounds. But it has never has been a problem. I've heard situations where religion got in the way. I look at a person for who they are, they have their beliefs & I'm ok with that. Religion has never gotten in the way of my friendships &/or relationships.
I agree that religion is an issue for most people. I've seen & heard of so many viewpoints. Some will believe in a god & some don't. Either way nothing wrong with it. Some may even change their religion for whatever the reason. But I've seen people who've taken it too far...that's what bothers me.
We live our life in the past, present, & future. We remember the past, the memories. We live in the moment, a gift of time. We look forward to the future, what's to come.
We can't only live in the future, we're only living in the present moment. We should embrace the present moment & look forward to future. But at the same time not let our past hold us back.
We can't turn our back to life.....it already happened & is happeneing. Our past shapes us who we are today....good or bad. Life is a gift. If we turn our back to life, then are we really living?
I think I would be an animal. Why? To have another perspective on lifel, or even a different outlook. It would be interesting to not work & just live. What animal? Maybe a cat or a dog.
Well I know what I don't want....so I go from there. Sometimes when you have so many wants, that we get overwhelmed. We lose focus on what our heart wants/needs. If we don't know what we want...it just means we're unsure. We may think we know what we want, but we get sidetracked or someone tells us otherwise.
Ladyblackadder It seems aging is good. It has its perks! I wonder where I'll be or what I'll be doing at that age. Your attidude is everything....it either makes or breaks you. As you age, your perception & priorities change. Your body also changes. Life is unpredictable, so one must enjoy what it has to offer.
Life is like wine, it gets better with age. Too bad our bodies aren't like wine But there are those who are better shape when they're older, than when they were younger. Take care of your body, its the only one you've got. to
Nonsmoker Kids come up with the most interesting conversation at times. I wonder why they would ask that. Maybe the topic came up somewhere. Perhaps they were curious But they make you think in their own special way.
I remember when I was in junior high, we had an assignment for class. The assignment? Create your own tombstone & write something on it! I had trouble with. How could I? Death was the furthest thing from my mind. I can't even remember what I wrote.
Welea Good morning to you! Its alittle past my bed time....I had to unwind after I finished work tonight. No worries, your thoughts are good! Sometimes my thoughts aren't the greatest before I sleep....my brain goes in off mode
That must of been an awesome experience for you. Did you go, or see any other places while there? I would like to travel & experience different things....still on my to do list.
I agree being older has its perks. I wonder what I'll be doing in about 20yrs. Its a good feeling to have freedom with your life....in what you do & when you do it. Keep on walking. I enjoy walking as well, I sometimes get lost in the moment.....to clear my mind....& my mind wonders.
It's been awhile!
It's probably a special meow mix! LolBut they are kittens & full of energy.
