LOVE

It hurts to love sometimes...ok maybe even a lot of the time. Speaking of time, how much time do we spend with those we love and care about?? How often do we pass them by because we are too "busy"?? How often do we take these loved ones for granted? I know that I am very guilty of this. But, after hearing of and experiencing dear friends who have lost loved ones and then recently hearing of the loss of a best friend's son of 14 who I have loved dearly, I am very sobered. I am realizing more and more the older that I get that I can NOT let these people who I love so dearly pass me by. As painful as it can be to love and loose or just watch these loved ones go through rough times it is all very worth it in the end. Cause, without love life is meaningless. That is it for now...I am at a point of tears.

Proverbs to reflect on..

"If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small"

"Whoever gives an honest answer kisses the lips."

"A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls"

" A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man"

I find these proverbs to be so relevent to live by...

On the idea of drama

Soo many different forms. One in which I am thinking is that which takes place in ones life, maybe even in a very short period of time. Why? How can we go through so much in such a small amount of time? What is the purpose? Why all the pain and heartache, physical illness and crazy bills? The list could go on.
I am beginning to believe that it is for more then just a "reason". It is for our life, it makes who we are..... yet, it is partially our choice to decide who we are because it is up to us to react to these events in our life. How we react will form who we will become. It will form us positively or negatively. What is the most important thing about this reaction? The formation of our lives will intensely effect the lives of those around us therefore creating a very positive or negative energy/environment in which we live. Are we perfect? No. So our environment can not be perfect, yet it can always be better. It is up to us to try.
What sort of circle do you want to start with your life? I am learning to choose a positive one, I hope you will too. For whatever you decide will come back to you.
