Lessons

LESSONS - Be careful to recognize when other people are too strongly affecting your ideas and emotions. You are an adult and can put stronger conviction into the accuracy of your own thoughts and feelings. 

"Watch your thoughts for they become words. Watch your words for they become actions. Watch your actions for they become... habits. Watch your habits, for they become your character. And watch your character, for it becomes your destiny! We are what we think we become."

LESSONS - learning to love is like learning a language, its harder to figure out he older you get.  

Perhaps there are people you are destined to know forever and others who cross your path at a specific time and place, however random these occurrences may seem.

LESSONS - its hard to know who you are if you don't know where you come from ....but that dosent mean you wont ever figure it out.

This year is already quite different than before, and you may not even recognize yourself by next December. Remember to stay true to yourself — it pays off.

Another Dawn / Imagining a Warmer Future


b&b . Minneapolis, Minnesota. Late February.
over and over, I've spent too much time imagining, waiting for approaching plans. too many destinations, expectations. emphasis on expectations, your imagination fooled you again.  La Rie En Rose. hard when the glasses come off.
too many hours on a road, in a car, in the bubble. 
When I get down, imagination steps in. 
The past then a fantasy, or moment un-remembered.

Rational Romance?


LOVE NOTES BY CHARLE DARWIN 

An Alternative Approach to Matters of the Heart!


.....this year, an unexpected romantic hero - The Rational Romantic!
Like my father, who had the nerve to brake up with my mother before leaving to India, only to phone back an hour later insisting that she write him a letter outlining the reasons it would make sense for them to be married!! 
...but she did, and MON DIEU it worked, stil married, still best friends, still my heros. 

so instead of Shakespeare
.....

NOT MARRY
Freedom to go where one liked— choice of society & little of it. 
Conversation of clever men at clubs.
Not forced to visit relatives & to bend in every trifle to have the expense & anxiety of children.
Perhaps quarrelling.
Loss of time.
Cannot read in the evenings
Fatness & idleness.
Anxiety & responsibility.
Less money for books.
If many children, forced to gain one’s bread.

- Perhaps my wife wont like London; then the sentence is banishment & degradation into indolent, idle fool.

MARRY
Children—(if it Pleases God).
Constant companion & friend in old age.
Better than a dog anyhow ! 
Home, & someone to take care of house.
Charms of music & female chit-chat.
These things good for one’s health.

-My God, it is intolerable to think of spending ones whole life, like a neuter bee, working, working, & nothing after all. No, no won’t do. Imagine living all one’s day solitarily in smoky dirty London House. Only picture to yourself a nice soft wife on a sofa with good fire, & books & music perhaps.


.....in the end it proved necessary to marry, and according to the history books He loved his wife Emma dearly to the end!
