Random Thoughts

Don't you just dislike it when you offer to share something of yours with someone else, with the specific words, " You may borrow these, they have great sentimental meaning for me. As the person who gave me these are no longer alive".
 Only to never, ever have these items returned.

Another situation had happened when I had spoke to someone about my grandfather's christening gown. Years later another family thought I was in possession of their christening gown. Difference is my grandfather's gown had his initials embroideried on the back of the garment.

 Sometimes, I wonder about how much people enable poor behavior or responsibilities. Haven't they ever wondered if the those people will fair in case of the enablers death?

 Why do many cigarette smokers believe the entire planet is their ash tray? Not All smokers do this, yet sadly more are less considerate than those I know who are very considerate.

 Giving or sending a gift, not receiving a thank you for it. It doesn't have to be a thank you card, it can be verbal as it is the polite think to do, no matter who you are. My solution after a few gifts, no more gifts.

Why do the crows always doody on my car right after I wash it? He he he, so that maybe I'd wash it more often? I think that is the lesson.

 Respect for traditions, people, and their views appears to be on a downward spiral.

Those who are not happy within their own lives tend to rag or dish the happy people to others who are more than happy to jump on the bandwagon.

 People who taken profuse advantage of other people who are giving, causing the givers silent grief, mental health or sometimes their physical health.

Those who have plenty to say behind your back, but never have the courage to say it to you directly or eye to eye.

Those who can not apologize......Those who will not forgive.

Just ramblings of things that popped into my head at this moment.

   As some of you may have figured out, I am a full blown Gemini which often creates lots of conflict within myself.  Even before I knew the ins and outs of the what the astrological characteristics of a Gemini are, I have always had at least two ideas, emotions, or views on everything.

   As I have grown and adapted to life as it unfolds before me, I have come to accept that internal conflict of  the constant changing of my mind,view, and heart, but not always in a graceful way.

  An example of this conflict happened just this past weekend. I had made a plan for something on Saturday. Upon awaking on Saturday morning, I had a gut feeling that the time was not right for me to be at this planned meet. I made a few calls, changing the plans.

  Instead I spent Saturday in pleasant company with my husband and our dogs looking a property. When we ended up being at home earlier than expected, I thought; "Hey, maybe I can still do that other thing!"  Totally neglecting my gut instinct. I made some calls and it became very apparent that it was not meant to be. That although I did not want to "miss" out, maybe Creator had a different plan for me. I loved what my Sis said "Sometimes, it's worth being left out". As I learned all the detours and obstacles that she experienced along the way I came to understand that despite my change of mind, it wasn't meant to be at all, for myself that is.

   My toughest lesson is to learn how to resolve these conflicting feelings, ideas and emotions in a smooth less emotional way, a more balanced way. With the love and support of my husband, I have been given some tools to do just that.

   I need to make a choice and stick with it, while not ignoring my instincts.

  I am a very fortunate woman, because I have many very loving people in my life.

      I am truly grateful for them all.

 Wishing everyone a bright and wonderful day, never stop learning!
