Monday on a Tuesday......

I couldn't decide what I wanted to write about today....I have so many thoughts floating through my head - but I think I'm getting the flu and none of them make sense....so I will start with a quote:

"As you give love out, it's received and reciprocated--and it grows. That's the beauty of it. Love is an energy. You can feed it to people, and they in turn feed it to others, and eventually it comes back."
—Hill Harper


If this quote is true how come there are so many Loveless people/relationships out there??? I think just looking at the divorce rate can be proof of that. Or does life just get too tough and people don't know how to cope so they turn away?? I think people need to try harder and love harder in order to make a change to our world.....someone recently told me that life is beautiful and that people are generally good. I'm struggling to accept and believe that in today's world. Isn't that sad????


But if I think of life's miracles my faith is restored.....






For me that one miracle that seems to make everything ok - is babies. Actually kids in generally really. There is something about a helpless and innocent child that just puts the world back into balance. Maybe that means I should have one??? Not anytime soon thank you!!!! As wonderful and lovely as kids are - I love being able to give them back to their mom/dad once they start crying :) Guess that maternal instinct just hasn't kicked in quite yet....It's surprising how many people ask the question "when are you having kids???" after you get married. Does it make me abnormal to not want kids????

Here are some thing that I believe/have learned...let's call them My life lessons:
-I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them.
-I've learned that no matter how much I care some people just don't care back.
-I've learned that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
-I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.
-I've learned that it's not what you have in your life, but whom you have in your life that counts.
-I've learned that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
-I've learned that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
-I've learned that either you control your attitude or it controls you.
-I've learned that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.
-I've learned that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you’ve celebrated.
-I've learned that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.
-I've learned that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
-I've learned that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.
-I've learned that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. And, just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.
-I’ve learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn’t stop for your grief.
-I’ve learned that no matter how you try to protect your children, they will eventually get hurt, and you will hurt in the process.
-I've learned that heroes are people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.
-I’ve learned that you can keep going long after you can’t.
