Never Fear The Dream…

Sometimes, you must relinquish what you have to gain what you truly want. Resist your natural inclination to trust what you see. Life and people often hide behind many cloaks, veils, and illusions. 25.06.1

It takes time for things to happen in an instant. If you cannot explain why you are doing something, what it entails, or where it will lead, it’s best to pause until you can.25.05.3

Mother’s Day without one…….

This will be the first Mother’s Day without a mother. My wife lost hers many years ago, and I lost mine last September. Many followed her journey with Alzheimer’s on this blog, and our loss is bittersweet.

We take heart knowing they are both now free from pain and sorrow, and we celebrate their lives and the examples they set for us.

For those fortunate enough to still have a mother, cherish her—she won’t be here forever. You’ll miss the phone calls, no matter how confused or zany or time of night and day. You’ll miss the meals and visits. You’ll remember it all because she is FOREVER part of you, both physically and emotionally.

Mothers are SPECIAL they give of themselves selflessly every day. Happy Mother’s Day to all the Moms… all of you deserve more than just one day of dedication and celebration because that is what you give all of us………THANK YOU……

Stewardship, as opposed to ownership, compels us to view everything as gifts to be responsibly cared for, with the future in mind. Stewardship must always be rooted in hope, humility, and wisdom. The duty of stewardship calls forth virtues of personal responsibility, self-control, thrift, and concern for others. 25.05.1

Being wrong isn’t a problem—refusing to change when presented with credible new information is. Before judging someone’s anger or depression, ask about their pain and suffering. Understanding their struggles may transform your perspective. 25.17

The safest place can be the most dangerous. It’s where we let our guard down and relax, assuming we’re protected—yet our lack of awareness becomes our greatest vulnerability. Face both the known and unknown with the same eager, open mind, free from prejudice and predetermined conclusions. 25.16

The probability of saying something foolish is proportional to how much you talk. The probability of hearing something important is proportional to how much you listen. You cannot learn if you believe you know it all. 25.15
