May You...

May today there be peace within.

May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be.

May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others.

May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.

May you be content with yourself just the way you are.

Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.

It is there for each and every one of us.

The above Quote was sent to me by a Friend and reading thru this I know and have learned through life's lessons how true these words are so I wanted to share :o)

Why I Google!!!!

So I am officially looking for a new apartment (Yah almost back to civilization).  I looked at a place last night (cute hope I get it) but still looking till I know for sure. 

So cursing the apartments on Craigslist I come across a “Large Studio for $775” everything included and they allow pets…. Woo Hoo! Score!... Right? I email the ad and get a response back.  The gentleman gives me the address and I say I will be there after work. 

Then; I go to the Google…  I search the address and it comes up with a name of a person who was recently arrested for having illegal slots machines and drug paraphernalia in the back of the Gas Station he owns. 

Really?!?

Slots and Drugs in the backroom of a Gas Station?  Am I on the Sopranos?  Do I really want to be on Cops that bad?

 Hmmmm I’m going to go with a big fat NO!!  I call back to leave a message that I am allset and have found a place (so as not to just not show up... I mean that would be rude) and go on my marry way again being show another reason why I Heart the Google oh so very much!!!

Don’t catch me now… I just want to keep on falling somehow...

Don't Catch Me - Kadie Hodges

This song brought loves sweet tears to my eyes.  I love Love so much and this is one of those songs that explains so well as to what love is for me.

I see a lot of people who have an “idea” of what love should be… Maybe because of experience while growing up or different experiences they have run across in their lives.  Some get lost in Hollywood’s version of what love should be like. 

Me… I just keep on falling… I love with all of me… In Family, in Friends, in Lovers, I love with all of me.  I don’t have an idea of what love is or should be like I just feel it and let it into me and try to make that love that I feel for the person shine out to them.  This scares some people (mostly potential lovers) but some Friends have been taken aback by this also.  

Now I understand no one likes to get hurt… Trust me I know this but I love the way this song speaks to the walls people put up so as not to get hurt.  The chorus below is what struck me most.  

“So don’t catch me now… I just want to keep on falling somehow…

So don’t stop me now I just want to keep this going somehow…. Keep on falling”

People who feel that love, sometimes don’t know how to handle it so they stop it… Stop the person who is falling from falling.  They are worried about getting hurt and in that worry although not intentional  they are the one doing the hurting as they are stopping what they / we /all deserved from coming… From falling into them.  

Love doesn’t go away it is always there you just have to let the person with that love fall.  You don’t need to catch them you just need to allow them to be who they are and who they are is someone that loves you for who you are even if you don’t know who you are.

Think about the past relationships you’ve had that didn’t work… Now I am not so naive as to not understand all too well that many many factors play into this so I don’t want to trivialize past hurts by any means.  What I want to do is point out what this song sings to me is that if both people didn’t stop each other from falling then that initial love that was (for some still is) there will keep on falling…

That sensation that washes over you that all is possible, the feeling of your soul smiling because you feel so much love with each step it feels like you are floating and then when you close your eyes and feel the intensity it truly does feel like you are falling.

True religion is the life we lead, not the creed we profess.

-- Louis Nizer (1902-1994) American Lawyer

A fancy way of saying “practice what you preach” so how can I really add to this? 

I think we all know there are people in this world who see this saying, look back on their lives, and know they have tried to live their life in this way.  There are times they may have faltered but know in their heart of hearts that their soul would always bring them back to where they need to be.  

There are others in this world that look at this saying and pay it no never mind.  They go on in their life living as they have and will always do with more words than actions. 

I don’t judge these people; I just feel sad that the current path they are on in their life they are not able to see that it is not what you say that really matters but what you do that shows what is in your heart and soul.

A little prayer said for all of us that our actions show what is in our heart and soul and if we falter we know that the next step we take will lead us back to where we need to be for us. 

POSITIVE QUOTE OF THE DAY

Anyone can sympathize with the sufferings of a friend, but it requires a very fine nature to sympathize with a friend's success.

-- Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) Irish Dramatist and Poet

I have always enjoyed Oscar Wilde's views on life that seem to be ever present in his writings.  I love this quote because find it is very very true. 

So often in life there are others who cannot take joy in someone else’s success.  I understand everyone's innate nature is different but I feel bad there are people out there who are not able to find the joy in what is in my opinion one of life's greatest gifts… The gift of Friends and them being happy.

Be Happy for your Friends and Family as their success should be encouraged and praised.  We don’t have to be there just for the bad… We can be there for the good also :o) 

I am joy and sadness, Peace and madness

Watching the snow melt off the tress in the shining bright light of the sun I'm getting ready to go out so I can enjoy the cool winter with the sun warming I hear this song (Holding On -- Jamie Grace ) on the TV (Baseball wives on in the background...don’t judge...lol) but the melody, her voice and words are just absolutely amazing that they can work on so many level in our lives.   

The lyrics “I am joy and sadness, Peace and madness” seem to describe a lot of situations in our lives and this song really just hits the nail on the head... So thank you trash TV for giving me another song that I am able to add to my life’s sound track! :o)

POSITIVE QUOTE OF THE DAY

The hero is the one who kindles a great light in the world, who sets up blazing torches in the dark streets of life for men to see by. The saint is the man who walks through the dark paths of the world, himself a light.

-- Felix Adler

We all have someone who is that light for us when we retreat into our own world of darkness and although they may not know it or be recognized for the shining light they give it does not make their light shine any less bright in our eyes.
