Have you ever been in a room with just a few people, but the room felt absolutely crowded. I recently experienced this and it was the oddest thing. Some people are just….they are just crowded, and I am never one to stand in line.

Thoughts Along the Way
I’m Done
It is so odd when you arrive at the point when you realize that you don’t have any more tears or emotions to offer a situation. You stand at the junction when one way is keep trying and to the right is a junction to let things go. My heart, my emotions, and the passion that I have for those I love are the best gifts within me and when those are gone….let them be gone too otherwise I am half stepping on love and that just isn’t me. Reciprocation counts for a lot, and when you don’t have that it turns into a hunt and chase, but you are not a cat or a mouse. Just let it go. Taking a right and driving on…….

You Are A Wreck
If you wrecked a car, you would fixed it. If you did some damage to a wall you would patch it up. If you spilled something on the floor you would make the floor dry and safe again. When it comes to people, we just plow through their lives, through their hearts and we just stand there and judge the damage….wow she/he got fat, oh my that person is so defensive….but you never stop and think about how you contributed to the damage of that person.
We leave footprints in the lives of others, make sure that they are good ones. Especially in the lives of those people who trust you to be in their lives.
Peace, Helen
I Want To See the Mountains in Your Eyes…..
Meet me in Montana…….
Walking Strong
I don’t have to like you as a person, but I do want to see you walking strong. Peace – Helen
No, You’re Just a Jerk
This morning I heard a radio personality on air who was talking about his “haters”. He was contributing the fact that he has haters to his success, to his being on the move and I think that it is quite contrary. His comedy is dry and predictable, he makes fun of people and their problems, and in my opinion he is far too opinionated to be on a national platform. Sometimes you have haters, because you are simply….a jerk, a bum-bum booty, a real used toilet paper wad – get my point here?
I know in my life that I have had people who disliked me for no reason and then there were others who really probably were justified in not liking me. Either way, I have found the importance in using the behaviors of others toward me as a mirror to myself and then decide from there. Even, then I am not going to dwell on it for too long. Keep it light and stepping…..Helen
Greater Tragedies
Sally walked in the break room fresh from the cold and you are looking for that hot cup of coffee, but….the coffee is cold. There has been an electrical malfunction and all of the appliances are off in the break room. The first thing that Sally does is start to fussing about nothing is right around the office and no cares anyone, blah blah blah…..
STOP THE MADNESS RIGHT THERE!!!!!
This happens in offices everywhere around the world each morning…something in some way shape or another, something has happened to the coffee.
Well to all my Sally-ies of the world let me tell you something, while you don’t have a fresh hot cup of coffee……
someone doesn’t even have water, someone slept out in the cold last night, a child was molested, someone was shot, someone was killed, a pet died, a loved one passed away, someone is homeless, someone is hungry, a child doesn’t feel safe, a wife was beaten, someone is hungry, someone lives in the midst of a war, someone was kidnapped and trafficked for sex, someone is blind, someone is deaf, someone is paralyzed from a car accident, someone is struggling with cancer….someone is wishing that they had the job that you have right now and would gladly do without the coffee.
Sally….there are greater tragedies in the world and what you should do instead of complaining about being without coffee is to be thankful that you are not experiencing one of them right now.
Cozy Crackling Fire
There is nothing like a cozy crackling fire……enjoy.
The Greatest Gift
I went shopping last weekend for a hat, yes just a hat. There was such a hustle and bustle about the stores with people hacking their way through their Christmas lists. What should be fun for them seemed stressful. Here are some things that I heard:
I have to get this for Suzie and Tommie wants this but I can’t find it.
I am so stressed out.
I don’t have time to get all of this done.
I am tired.
I will have to wait until next week’s paycheck.
Let’s get this done so we can get the heck out of here.
This made me sad. This is not what the Christmas season is about. If this is you, I challenge you to do something different this year. Why not spend more time with family gatherings or going to Christmas programs, or having a movie night to watch Elf and play board games, how fun is that? I made up my mind a long time ago that I will not be bogged down with gift giving this time of year. I am not cheap and I love to give gifts from my heart throughout the year, not just because of the pressure of the season.
I don’t know how many times I have heard people say that they “they are going to buy Christmas”, or “my kids are going to have a Christmas”…..
With or without gifts….there is Christmas and I long for others to understand that the greatest gift of Christmas is a warm and loving heart toward one another the whole year through.
Peace to you and yours,
Helen
Wishing You…..
