Peace & Blessings Cyber Readers, Bloggers & Beautiful Beings of this earth:
I got to thinking of this past weeks' and weekends' occurences and my close call to almost breaking down and succumbing to the idea and concept of giving up, closing the curtain and the fin'. BUT, once again my passion and gift of word- Poetry and extended family and the words od wisdom from a few freinds fueled my tank of determination within me that has to be restored. I've found out that often when we encouter the roadbumps and potholes of this road called life, there a yield sign thats placed in our direction to place us in pause--- to simply gain a clearer perspective of the aspects we are dealing with in life. These past few days, oh my gosh, am I thankful for a "yield sign". The fact that I was in desperate need of perhaps a shrink, I was blessed to have some one on one time with a great freind-- a "true" friend that did that thing that most people just don't do-- LISTEN. He has no idea how much "full" indiviudal attention meant so much to me and his time as well. Those hours meant more to me than any gift. Simply because time is precious and priceless. I thoufht to myself-- WOW, the most hig has placed this individual in my life for a purpose and its REAL, he's real and not what I'd call a temporary, fairweather friend,,, AND the most high blesses me to have such a friend with a session free of charge. No fees or insurance required.. :^) As that would have been of a shrink. Feedback thats wise and sincere is the best one can receive. Options and logical suggestions and thoughts he offered as we equally discussed our trials. Logical, not irresponsible or down right ridiculous scenarios.
After discussions, endless sessions of venting and expressing our current successes, dilemmas, obligations, opportunities and prospects we begin chatting a day alter of how we as a people have lost our respect and class as men and women and why some feel the world owes us something while really in actuality we must prove we're thankful for what we have and not take it for granted and be thankful from whence we came. The "wholesomeness" he described, we as men, women, and family have seemed to let demise over the past 30 or more years. I was reminded of our discussion of this topic when I heard "Leave It To Beaver" come on the set this morning. Yes, we know TV is of course a fantasy at times and charcter but truth is it can be and is real-reality. The respect and thanfullness accompanied with morals and sense of purpose does not exist. The roles of women andsupporting their mates-- THE BREADWINNER and maintaining order and structure of the homeand its conceptual existence, focus on materialism, acceptance of others and simply forget of the little things that mean the most-- the intaginbles-- LOVE, HAPPINESS & PEACE.
But it must take the spiritual, mental and emoitional and individual intellect of one indiviudal at a time to look at themselves and conduct a self-analysis and survey and depict what really matters and how can one rruly exemplify the statute of whuch not we are expected to be, BUT of what we SHOULD be, to first ourselves, our past mothers and fathers and for our youth and babes born today and tommorrow. We must set a standard tht embodies "courage, discipline, and dilligence" and for those three aspects, apologies will never be existent.
I am reminded of that concept of surrounding oneself around positive minded individuals and ridding of the naysayers. Then I thought about some bracelets, my friend Kristy had on the other day and the phrases stuck with me... She had two bracelets on and one said, (Take chances, Live your dreams) the other said (Believe in yourself,,, Be positive). My aphorim of the say was right there on two bracelets in black and white print. So, I had to take this as sign of reminder and reassurance from the most high... Afte reflecting on those thoughts and my convo wirh a close freind, what can I say but I'm truly grateful to the most high for blessing me iwth such spectacular individuals in my life. Another freind (SEQ) reminded me to live life and to take hold to every mere second and hold onto it.
Life is precious, life is sweet and oh my gosh much sweeter, when you have sincere individuals by your side, to tread upon a sometimes road with no caution signs. I guess you could say they're angelic consturction workers along my side with hidden wings that have come in various verstile forms.
Peace, Infinite Blessings & Prosperity
