Saturday Morning Reflection 11/20/2010

Happy Saturday everyone, a new day with a new beginning that you, yes you get to write.

It is your script, your recipe for life, love and happiness. Write your script well, don't be afraid to scratch out this line or that line. Rework the script, write it the way you would have it and by all means your life may need to be improvised. Thats what life is all about sometimes.


My reflection for today, just some thoughts not a post from the past mind you but some thoughts from my last two posts. Thursday's post on acceptance and Friday's post on tolerance.

Both posts refer to these two words in the meaning of accepting others and tolerating differences. I wrote in regards to sharing the smile and a kind word no matter what.


My reflections of today take another shot at these two words and in brief another angle.

Sometimes we accept and tolerate our life as it is, not as we want it to be. Hours and days go by with disdain and heart ache instead of passion and excitement.

On a very personal note, my parents both lived in agony and abuse. My dad even though I love him very much was very abusive, both physical and mental to my mom. I lived through that and anguished, and hurt and felt very helpless to do anything.

They invited me thru birth to come live with them and accept them as my parents but to tell you the truth it was pure hell. They did of course teach me a valuable lesson on how not to be abusive in that manner to any of my relationships but the lesson I found in my early years of relationships was that I had trouble communicating and expressing my version of love.

It happens, it may be happening to someone close in your life. But over the years I have learned how to communicate, sure I still struggle, but I like to think that I like to make a difference in peoples lives, those close to me and those far away. I like, no I love to laugh and show some quick wit and cause others to laugh or at the very least giggle and at the very least ponder what I just said in jest.

Laughter is the best way to overcome a hurting heart, or any anguish present.

Laughter can heal a sickness, or regenerate a body as well as a mind.

So today, in reflection I ask you to look at your acceptance and tolerance of your life at this moment. How is it? Are you building bridges to the future, or are you digging a ditch in desperation?

Don't dig to deep, the hole you may be digging is always to harder to climb out. Build the bridge to joy, to love, to happiness and share those smiles and laughs with those you love and those who love you.

Just some Saturday Reflections!

Till next time......Smile!!! : )

Flowing into Friday 11/19/10

Happy Friday everyone! A very happy Friday to you all! The weekend is here, yeah! The light up night in Pittsburgh is tonight! Yeah! Fireworks! Hot Chocolate! Santa Claus! lights Yeah!

My Janice is even excited about the ice skating down at PPG Rink so that get a big Yeah from her.

I don't skate, I call it falling so thats not me, but I will try to take some pictures.

Yesterday I wrote about acceptance and how when we do have more of this in our life we have a greater chance for happiness and a greater chance to share joy and love.

Tolerance –noun

a fair, objective, and permissive attitude toward those whose opinions, practices, race, religion, nationality, etc., differ from one's own; freedom from bigotry.

a fair, objective, and permissive attitude toward opinions and practices that differ from one's own.

interest in and concern for ideas, opinions, practices, etc., foreign to one's own; a liberal, undogmatic viewpoint.

the act or capacity of enduring; endurance: My tolerance of noise is limited.

The importance of being objective and fair and yes permissive is equally important. If we could teach acceptance and tolerance to our children and our children's children what a different world we would live in.


For this equilibrium now in sight, let us trust that mankind,

as it has occurred in the greatest periods of its past,

will find for itself

a new code of ethics, common to all,

made of tolerance, of courage,

and of faith in the Spirit of men.

~Albert Claude

Now my thoughts and beliefs have always tried to focus on to have acceptance and tolerance is not to just go with the flow when the goal or plan of your destiny is not being met. For trying to head east to watch a sunset will always lead to disappointment. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and getting the same result and expecting something to change in the results.

It does not happen that way. Never has, Never will.

Change is good.

Change is perhaps the one thing that has allowed great thoughts to manifest.

Never let another take advantage of you and expect them to stop with out change. You must take the reins of your life. You must take control of your destiny and follow your heart and listen to your intuition and follow the path that you believe will lead you there.

Will you always be right? No

Will you always be better for doing so, for changing? I say yes, because the oly failure in life is having never tried at all.

A video from a recent post but enjoy it again all the same:

"If you have never failed, you have never lived...."


As you flow into this weekend stay warm, stay safe and stay loved.

May your smiles abound.

May your joy lift another spirit.

May you stay hungry and stay foolish!

May your heart be warmed because it always was.

Smiles sent your way this day and always!

Happy Thursday everyone! : )
