Morning Thoughts....

-
Relationships can be difficult at times because what has been between two people...comes between two people.  In any relationship, whether you have good intentions or not, there will always be something that has happened to one's past...that comes up in the present.  The way we deal with it...is what makes the difference.  No two people are perfect and no relationship is either...what makes it work is the willingness on the hearts of the two involved.  So you had a horrible break-up before you met him...and...so she used you and tossed you aside like yesterday's trash...and...is that the responsibility of the person you are in relationship with now...should they suffer the consequences of your past...should they have to hear about "what she did", or "what he did" for the duration of your relationship?  I think not!

What happens now is you have to be willing to put aside what happened and embrace...what is.  This new person in your life deserves a fresh start.  They deserve an open heart.  They also deserve an open mind.  If you are not able to give this to a person...it is best you wait until you can.  We destroy what could be good relationships because we rush into them.  We don't want to be alone..we don't want to be left with the thoughts of yesterday..we don't want to suffer the pain alone so...we go out..look for someone and "make" them suffer with us.  Not cool.

Just like you that person is coming into this with hopes of longevity...they are coming into this waiting for the sunshine of a new smile...the warmth of a new embrace...the love of a new heart.  We have all been hurt...we have all been tossed aside...we have all been used and abused in some form or fashion...but should we all suffer "past problems"...I often say, "hey, I didn't do it so don't take it out on me" to people who seem to forget I wasn't there when that horrible "thing" happened. 

So...embrace this new relationship..embrace this new heart..embrace this new soul.  Treat him or her as if they were a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow...and flow...flow right into a new an exciting relationship.  Old things are passed away behold...all things become new.  This not only applies to our spiritual person..but to our natural person.  Until next time...

What I Do?

-
Walking down the street I decided to go into the local dime store to get me a bottle of pop and upon my arrival there are two cops there looking at me as if I were there to steal.  They follow me around the store with these grim looks on their faces and every time I try to lose them, they appear, once again.  When I get to the section where the pop is I pick out the one I want and proceed to the register.  The store clerk even gives me a suspicious look and says to me, "you gone pay for that?"  I reply "yes, of course" and begin to reach into my pockets for the money.  Right before I pull my hand out with my money the cops, who were at the back of the store suddenly are right behind me saying "be careful son, don't do anything you'll regret!"  My reply was, "what I do?" Coming home from school and I run to the house because I have a sudden urge for some of mom's pecan pie left in the refrigerator.  I pick up the pace, passing cars e

Giving Thanks for Being Thankful...

-
It's that time of year again when we think of family and friends.  When we get our mouths ready to taste oh so delicious foods and baked goods.  When we think...of giving thanks for all we have and for who we know.  It's that time when we take the time to spend with those we love and to do those things we seldom have enough time to do like...read...watch tv...live...love...laugh.  Well even though most of us are thankful, have we ever thought about being thankful for being thankful. Let me break it down.  It is common knowledge that we should be thankful for our health and our family and friends.  That we should be truly thankful we have food to place on our tables and clothes to put on our backs.  That we should be truly thankful for the life we live and the places we are allowed to visit.  Being thankful for those things and those people..is easy.  But have you ever taken the time to thank God for the fact that you ARE thankful. To many of us, the word "thanks"

A Time to Turn

-
In everyone's life there comes a time to turn.  Turn why, you ask?  Well if you have lived as long as I have, 50 years, you learn that your quality of life is much more important than your quatity of life. As you grow and develop relationships with others, at one time in your life those relationships are important to your continued growth.  But as you age, and my prayer is that you will, you learn that those relationships that at one time seemed to be beneficial to your very existence, are NO LONGER NEEDED. When I decided to move from my hometown and live in a totally different city and state and time zone, I knew that there were some people I was saying goodbye to, for the last time.  I knew there were people who while essential to my projects and my overall well being, no longer had a place in my life.  I knew this and with a sadness, accepted it.  When I returned, I no longer had a desire to be near them or associate with them.  I had made a turn. A turn for the better.  Thi
