| | Life's Balance | | | Monday, May 4, 2009 (2:00 PM)
(I'm feeling peaceful) | | Life is a balance of holding on and letting go.
I read this the other day and I have been chewing on it in my mind ever since. I'm always looking for balance as it provides peace for me to accept both the good and bad of events and people, as nothing is all bad or all good.
I am, as most people are, prone to holding on to those that I cherish and holding on to grudges for those that have wronged me. I try to take a step back, think rationally, and gain perspective. I try to understand why I would want to hold on or let go and make a decision that puts me at peace. Sometimes I fight to keep it. Sometimes I realize it is best to let it go. I hope that with enough understanding I have this balance.

| | My wish for you... | | | Tuesday, December 2, 2008 (12:10 AM)
(I'm feeling grateful) | | Have you ever met a person, someone that you are so connected to, right from the beginning, that they make you feel complete?
It is like you were sleeping and they just woke you up. Your mind and heart expand. The world just seems brighter and happier just for being with them. The world seems both smaller and bigger at the same time. It is so hard to describe.
You are so thankful for the love you have for them, the love they have for you, and the time you get to spend with them. You don’t have to speak and when you do, you finish each other’s sentences. Or maybe they speak and it is nearly word for word what you had in your head. Or you don’t speak at all and still you know. There is an understanding that goes beyond what can be learned.
This person is so special to you that you know that just by meeting them you will not be the same. You feel like you have known them all your life and that they understand you in a way that many could not. Even with this understanding, you tell them everything and they, in turn, do the same. There is a trust that no matter what is said they will continue to return your love. Continue to be there with you.
When you talk together time is irrelevant. Sometimes it seems as if it stops entirely and then during other times hours go by and you are shocked by its duration. Your time apart seems so endless. You miss them like you were missing a piece of yourself. That piece that you gave to them. The one they take with them. This is a selfless love. You give everything you have and wish that you had more to give. You can't hold back even if you tried. But you don't try.
Their very presence in your life, even when they are not with you, changes how you see the world. Changes how you want to be. They make you a better person. Make you think that you can do anything. Superhuman. You feel so full, whole, safe, and loved. You are so grateful. You wish that everyone could find at least one person that they can feel this way too because there is nothing that compares to it.
As I read my ramblings I have one person in mind. Someone I am so grateful for in my life. Someone that I love so completely that I felt the need to put this down. Someone who has changed me. I have been fortunate to meet several in my life that I feel this way about. Some that are still with me and some that are not. I am better for all of them. Grateful for each of them. Would not take any of the memories away even though it causes me pain to think I am not with them now. This type of love does not fade. You carry it with you forever. I would hope that when you read this, you too, would be thinking of someone in your life that you loved and understood so completely that it changed you forever. If you didn’t, I wish it for you. | | | | 255 Views | 8 Thumbs Up | 4 Comments | |

| | Another thought provoking saying... | | | Monday, December 1, 2008 (10:46 PM)
(I'm feeling contemplative) | | You reach a point in life where instead of life bringing you new things, it begins to take them away.
I'm not sure at what point that is and if one could actually point to a specific point in time and say this, right here, is where it changed; but it has been on my mind since i heard it. I would guess that this point is different for each person. I would hope that life would always bring new things to replace the things that go away. Maybe I've just been lucky so far. Hope you are too. | | | | 264 Views | 4 Thumbs Up | 3 Comments | |

(I'm feeling pensive) | | As fall approaches and the trees begin their transformation. I can't help but think of this quote.
"The heart dies a slow death, shedding each hope like leaves... Until one day there are none. No hopes. Nothing remains." Written by Arthur Golden and Robin Swicord.
Life consists of constant changes. Including people who pass through our lives. Their connections to us and our lives are as fragile as those of leaves to a tree. It makes all those memories bittersweet; but it helps to remind us to enjoy those while they are with us, as they may not be later. | | | | 386 Views | 2 Thumbs Up | 2 Comments | |

(I'm feeling contemplative) | | | The opposite of love is complete and utter indifference. | | | | 226 Views | 0 Thumbs Up | 0 Comments | |
