I am content
Being content. What does that mean? It’s the “thing” that many people strive for. The thing they are constantly looking out for. It’s the thing people are focusing on, allowing their life to pass them by. People can’t just be. They are always wanting more and focusing on the “more.” Is there anything wrong with that? In theory, no. People should always want more for themselves. Always want to push themselves further. It’s one of the basic “human” drives. However, to not be able to appreciate the “moment” means everything is wrong with “wanting more.” If you can’t sit back and appreciate what just happened, what you just bought, what…

My view from here….
…is awesome! Here I am sitting on our deck, soakin’ up the rays, listening to the music, surfing the night. Could it be any better?! You should see the view I have. There is a beautiful crab apple tree in bloom and it is hot pink. It’s an ode to me I think. It’s just stunning. There is also a view Carli would enjoy I think. 😉 The neighbours are moving out. Sucks to be them in this heat going up and down the stairs. That’ll so be us this time next year I’m sure but honestly, I will laugh at others now while I can. It is so friggin…

“After a While”
After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul and you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning and company doesn’t always mean security. And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts and parent’s aren’t promises and you begin to accept your defeats with you head held up high and your eyes ahead with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child and you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight. After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if…

Hypocrite….Maybe…
This may go against my previous post but this is not what I meant by being prepared to follow through on your words. (lol) I’m rather appalled at what has been coming out of Ottawa the last month or so…well, since the playoffs started. A bet was made between a DJ (supposedly a die-hard T.O. fan…I’ll discuss that later) and the fans of the Ottawa Senators. If the Senators made the Stanley Cup finals he would do three things: Shave his head and paint the sides red – whatever people do bets like that all the time Belly dance on a main street or something – that’s cool…I’d be amused…

If people don’t mean what they say…
…they shouldn’t say it. I just get annoyed with the cavalier fashion people have with the words that come out of their mouths. In order to be taken seriously and not to make want to plug your mouth with an old sock when you are talking you should be truthful and prepared to back your words up with the action that corresponds. The same rules I have for disciplining children apply here. There are 3 things, well there are more than that, but if you want kids to listen/behave you should remember these three words: communication, credibility, and consistency. Without all three no one will take you seriously, even kids.…
