Tuesday Ten

1. Bothers me how everyone assumes that the guy is the one at fault.
2. If you truly love someone, you have to take the good with not so good. Don’t try to change or save them. If there are some things you just can’t live with then you need to detach with love – love them from afar. If you can live with the not so good, then just love them through it. This is a two way street in all relationships. ALL relationships meaning business, personal and social.
3. Codependency isn’t always a bad thing. There are times when two codependents can actually balance each other out making them productive, socially acceptable people. At that point it becomes interdependency, so let it evolve. Just because you can’t live that way doesn’t mean it is wrong for others.
4. Sometimes getting down to what is bothering you, whether it was something from 20 years ago or yesterday, takes time. Its like peeling an onion. The more layers you peel off, the more uncomfortable it gets and there will be tears. Be patient with those trying to get to the center of their problems.
5. Don’t understand why people think that I am weird or a glutton for punishment when I feel honored when someone wants me by their side when they are ‘peeling their onions’. It simply means they feel safe with me, trust me and know that I am there for them.
6. I wear my heart on my sleeve. Proudly.
7. If love doesn’t move you to smile randomly throughout the day, make you a little antsy/giddy when you see the one(s) you love or give you a little discomfort (usually mistaken for pain) then you haven’t truly experienced love.
8. Love and lust can coexist in a personal relationship. In fact, when they coexist then it a wonderful thing.
9. Breaking a coffee addiction is harder for me than it was to stop drinking. Drinking hot green tea does help, though.
10. Thanks all those that run soup kitchens or I would have gone hungry last week. Please donate to soup kitchens – toilet paper, razors, soap and shampoo are hot items in need by those frequenting soup kitchens. Again, please donate either your time or these type items.
