Words to Ponder

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that
wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will.

You will have your heart broken probably more than
once and it's harder every time.

You'll break hearts
too, so remember how itfelt when yours was broken.
You'll fight with your best friend.

You'll blame a new
love for things an old one did.

You'll cry because
time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose
someone you love.

So take too many pictures, laugh too
much, and love like you've never been hurt because
every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of
happiness you'll never get back.

whether through a chat, message board or web site, is never intended to be a substitute for

Following the inner voice which states This is the Year To Be.

During the trip West, I began to more fully grasp, that to be content and "happy"
I need to be satisfied with myself, knowing now to meet my own needs.
I will be around others and time to time I will want to satisfy their own needs in a healthy way, but not to the point where my own growth is stunted in this effort.
The strong need to be responsible for my own actions, using certain maturity to know and be able to express my feelings and then take the responsibility for those feelings and actions.

There is a need to be "freer". Listening to this inner voice and not relying on others to determine how I live my life. It is truly not necessary at this age and stage of my Cronedom. Friends have already expectations on how they behave and dress and perceive life events. They expect me to do the same, dress the same, think the same. I refuse to do so. It is not necessary. If this causes the person to exit my life, ok. Universe will fill that void with yet another person. Carrying now in my mind, a positive picture of the person I am. Not with conceite, but authenticity. I find more and more that aloness is comfortable. Times of meditation and inner thought, prayer time and private time are gifts. At the end of each day of life, I alone, stand in front of the mirror - alone to add up how I traveled my journey that day.

There is an awareness building of my feelings and how to express them honestly.
Not in a phoney way to make others accept me, leading to becoming, obnoxious.
But, expressing myself in more healthy ways. It is so clear to me of recent days, that each situation I am facing is totally different than the last and must be handled differently. Just To Be this year may be one of the most blessed gifts Universe has ever given me.
