"Love You"

I,routinely, hear people say on their mobile phones, " Love You".. it is more then an expression..the person saying it ..is saying that the other person is worthy of sharing your life..their partner..

Then shouldn't  a person give it ownership by putting "I" in front of  one of the most important
four words ever said..

I wonder at a Certain Age

Signing on to facebook, I read an example of "wall art" that described a person as heartbroken even when they light up a room..

I,used, to wonder why people did not step in to help me when I could not help myself out of an
emotional quagmire..

now I wonder if when I reach a certain age..if I should  know how to seek help..

now that is how I feel today..sadness or depression can be paralizing

Between Lightness and Darkness

I was called into work on my day off..as I was leaving, I thanked my manager by declaring that
productivity lightens my darkness..

Another person informed me that I should not be describing, my disposition, to people as dark..


I think  discussing your outlook to a handpicked bunch of people may prevent isolation..and may
create longer intervals between your periods of lightness and darkness..

Timing of Perfection

I got an email from a person today..a person I see infrequently..he wrote that he missed my dry wit
which would generate his smiles..

His email had a timing of perfection..if you think of how you like a person ..no quality to small
let the person know..even if you barely know the person

I think,sometimes, if can mean more from an acquaintance because it is less expected and it does not
feel like the person is obligated such as with an old friend

COMPLIMENT ..DO NOT HESITATE..DO IT!

Steady Income

An older man and I were discussing earning social security.  The man cringed and groaned, "don't bring it up"....When I asked him,"why? it is a steady income and I would feel damn glad to get it"

He explained," it reminds me that I have more past  then future..and I thought I would be in a different place in my life by now"


PERSPECTIVE

Heavenly Dial

When a childhood friend died..people would tell me stories about picking up the phone to contact the person ..in almost a sleep walking manner..then before they start dialing they awaken themselves with reality of the person's passing..

Well it is starting to happen to me..five years after her death..I thought about calling her over the New
Years week-end...then today I was going to call her to discuss my work day

I could hear myself saying " Winnie, my shift started at 5AM and I got there early..can you believe
that"?

Then I realized I will not be able hear her say, " Gee Whiz! 5AM? and you DID  it!

Motivating Method

The week before New Years Day..I motivate myself by asking: do you want to start the new year
with this clutter...or do you want start the new year with this habit...do you want to start the new year
tainting your emotional atmosphere with a certain personality..

Last night, I wondered about using the same motivating method at the start of new day or a new week
