Measurements of Love

How can we measure love? Is it long or short, or light or heavy?
It has been too long in the coming . . . too short no matter how long it stays, Heavy when it is not sincere, uplifting when it is unconditional. Untrue love has limits and boundaries and insecurities. But TRUE LOVE? Ah, true love can never be measured, for it is all things, at all the right times and all places.

like that smell?

If it is true that people really do smell like the foods they mostly eat . . .
garlic
curry,
onions,
beer,
etc

then I must smell like chocolate.
smiles.

Speak truthfully, but serve it with care.

Late night

Late night conversations are in a class of their own.

Think about how you do it

"“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.”
    — Dietrich Bonhoeffer

A point in time

There comes a point in time, that although you realized a truth long ago, that you have to come to terms with the accepting part of it.

Mirror Image?

Sometimes when I look into the mirror I wonder where did I go and why is my mother looking back at me?

Is there one person (or persons) that you can call, for anything,
at anytime of day or night, and they will be there to support you no matter what?

What is your preference?

Early riser or night owl?

Being alone or being with a group?

Shower or bath?

Texting or calling?

Summer or winter?

our world

Sometimes it gets really hard to understand the world we are living in.

How . . .

If I didn't tell you that I loved you today, how will you ever know?

taking time

We must remind ourselves to not look at the clock or calendar,
but to be present in the moment, for there is no way to measure
 "now".

answers

I always thought that as I grew older I would have more answers to life.
It seems that although I do have some answers, I have more questions than ever.

Lying for the first time

The first lie often makes the second lie necessary and easier.
but it cements the guilt and anxiety.

Secrets

Do you carry a secret that you have never revealed because you promised someone that you would keep your word and not reveal it?

Shower vs Bath

Do bath people and shower people have different personalities.
Can you pick them out of a crowd?

I had to laugh

There are times that you have to laugh at yourself and your life because it can all seem so unreal.
Have you had one of those times where you wanted to say . . .
" If I told you the truth you would never believe it"?

as we get older

Do you think people become more hardened as they get older?   Or do you think it's the opposite?  Do people get more mellow, softer?  As we go through life and get older are we more accepting, more understanding or more judgmental and uncaring?

A salespitch

Why is it that when someone is trying to sell you something and they obviously aren't telling the truth . . . they don't acknowledge they are lying. Do they believe their own hype?

Specific prayers

When praying  . . . one must be specific in our prayers and our requests.
 Often we get just the thing we asked for . . . God has answered many a prayer with a sense of humor.
