The destination is not the most important thing- it is what you glean from the paths along the way that makes all the difference. Ponder well, my friends…..
Christmas Memories….. Just a wee tot sitting in my wooden rocking chair square in front of the TV, orange/green plaid bell bottoms, orange turtle neck, and my very fashionable brown leather boots. My dad was bringing in goodies from my Aunt Helen’s house…oh the smells of cookies and huge oranges and apples. I looked around at the tree, felt the warmth from the fireplace, heard my parents in the next room…and then this commercial came on that I will never forget. It always bring back such wonderful memories of feeling safe, warm, and completely loved….. Helen
It is easy to tell someone else how they should “walk in a pair of shoes” that they have never tried on themselves-therefore it can never be known what it takes for some to put one foot in front of the other each day and walk…some things are just easier said than done.
Yes, I am introvert!!! (standing on a mountain top, beating my chest – okay that is a bit much lol)
One of the most common misconceptions about introverts is that they don’t like people. Not true, I love people. I am captivated by their stories, the fellowship and I am compelled to reach out to inspire, learn from, and help people. I love parties and gatherings, BUT, being around people is draining for an introvert. Soooo….if I step away for a few minutes it is only to recharge with my owns thoughts, some quiet, and then I am as good as new.
For years, I have been told that there is something wrong with me. Well I could say the same of extroverts, come on, what is wrong with these people? You know, those super hype people who want to know exactly why you aren’t “hype” like them and then proceed to try to make you super hype to validate their insanity? lol
Bottomline my fellow innies, know, love, appreciate how you are, and while it is important to bend, don’t allow the others to push your boundaries too too far. The world needs you! Can you imagine a world FULL of extroverts, oh goodness no! Now come on – let’s go ponder the universe.
(BTW – pondering the universe is one of my favorite things to do…it really is – I get butterflies just thinking about it)
Long after a spider leaves you still have to deal with the webs that it strung between things and …uh, people… Soo odd how folks are so easily swayed by mess. Helen
I wonder who touched, drank, or perhaps swam in the same water I drank today? A dinosaur, an ancient Indian, perhaps Jesus… the water cycle is truly amazing.
Your destined purpose is rarely in the same place where your value was created or increased. A diamond is created in the earth, but its value is determined once it is faceted and presented to the world. A clay pot does not serve out its purpose on the potter’s wheel. Journey on….. Helen
