To Give or to Take ... that's the question

Picking up where the last post ended ...

I'm having a running conversation with Soldiergirl who is not too happy with her situation at the moment for a number of reasons I can't go into here. Have you noticed that many times, Life just doesn't cooperate? So ... is it any wonder there are so many unhappy people?

I certainly do not mean to make light of lousy circumstances in an individual's life. Please understand this. However, it seems to me we should look for what we owe LIFE (or God)instead of what LIFE (or God) owe's us?

"You only get out of something what you are willing to put in." Said another way, "You only reap what you sow." I taught my children to plant kindness, if they wanted to be treated kindly, to plant generosity if they wanted to receive such, and to be a friend if they wanted to make friends. That is how I live ... not in some silly, ritualistic way, but as opportunities present themselves.

I do not jump out of bed with a smile on my face. Nor do my kids! ... I don't JUMP at all! lol But by the time my eyes are open, I am smiling ... even when I have to go to work, to a job I am not crazy about. Why smile? I'm alive! Things can always get better ... as long as I don't give up hope. The smile is not painted on my face. It lives there. It is who I am. It is the evidence of a many, many years of choices ... of choosing to hope, choosing to love, choosing to be kind, choosing to trust & choosing to think the best of others.

It simply breaks my heart to see so many people of all ages, but particularly young people, allowing themselves to slide down the sludge of depression. Can it be as simple as making different choices? Not for all, for sure ... but even for one? Half-full or half-empty? Depends on your attitude, hmmm?

You Are Sunrise

You enjoy living a slow, fulfilling life. You enjoy living every moment, no matter how ordinary.
You are a person of reflection and meditation. You start and end every day by looking inward.
Caring and giving, you enjoy making people happy. You're often cooking for friends or buying them gifts.
All in all, you know how to love life for what it is - not for how it should be.

What Time Of Day Are You?

Thursday Coffee Break

1st Day of the month, Thursday... for some of us these are paydays. We work hard and we expect to get paid for it. That's normal. When we want something, we buy it. We do not expect something for nothing. TANSTAFL=There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.

Have you ever been given a gift and inwardly groaned because your first thought was "Now what the heck do I give them in return?" I have. It's hard to find that balance of knowing when its ok to be a receiver and when it's expected to return the favor. Even Odin wrote in an ancient poem:

Be your friend’s true friend.
Return gift for gift.
Repay laughter with laughter again.

No one is comfortable with someone who only gives and never accepts, or someone who constantly reminds others of what they give all the time. Understanding what your expectations are of yourself and others is key to having great relationships!
