One Strong Belief: A Blog Post

Have I Offended Someone?

Wow, ended up almost missing the deadline for posting today and the minutes wind down,  I can only pat myself that for once I am through.  The one strong belief that I have that is not shared by my friends or my family is my willingness to write out my thoughts, desires, and commentary about how things affect me.  It has always been easiest for me to express how I truly feel about things, and it has gotten me the most amount of criticism and fascination for those who are offended or moral voyeurs.  I have struggled all my life on how to balance what I need to get out versus on revealing too much about others or worse conflicting with some who have no idea how I feel until they read my words.  The one thing I have actively pursued is my desire to write, and while it sometimes it is far from honest, my recent flirtation with The Artists Way has shown that my belief in my writing is a reflection of my life and even if it offends others, it is my belief that for me to deal with things is to write about them.  No matter the consequences.

Liz Danzico – Today
Your genuine action will explain itself, and will explain your other genuine actions. Your conformity explains nothing. The force of character is cumulative. – Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance

If ‘the voyage of the best ship is a zigzag line of a hundred tracks,’ then it is more genuine to be present today than to recount yesterdays. How would you describe today using only one sentence? Tell today’s sentence to one other person. Repeat each day.

My Sentence For Today:
I will not let emotions dictate who or how I am, letting them be a guide as to my state of being but not using them to replace reason and compassion.

The Success of Marriage (might help if I added the story :))

THE SUCCESS OF MARRIAGE
             Once upon a time a married couple celebrated their 25th
marriage anniversary. They had become famous in the city for not
having a single conflict in their period of 25 years. Local newspaper
editors had gathered at the occasion to find out the secret of their
well known "happy going marriage".
             Editor: "Sir. It’s amazingly unbelievable. How did you
make this possible? "
             Husband recalling his old honeymoon days said:  "We had
been to Shimla for honeymoon after marriage. Having selected the horse
riding finally, we both started the ride on different horses. My horse
was pretty okay but the horse on which my wife was riding seemed to be
a crazy one.
            On the way ahead, that horse jumped suddenly, making my
wife topple over. Recovering her position from the ground, she patted
the horse’s back and said "This is your first time". She again climbed
the horse and continued with the ride. After a while, it happened
again. This time she again kept calm and said "This is your second
time" and continued. When the horse dropped her third time, she
silently took out the revolver from the purse and shot the horse
dead!!

I shouted at my wife: "What did you do you psycho. You killed the poor
animal. Are you crazy?"

She gave a silent look and said: "This is your first time!!!"."

Husband:" That’s it. We are happy ever after. "
