About Us
Once upon a time, I was told that I couldn't do it. That I shouldn't dare. That the dream was too
risky. That the risks too scary. The only people behind me were my three sons. And together, my
three sons and I built a dream. Can you imagine building a dream with your sons? There are days I
feel like the luckiest person alive. And that feeling has its roots in the darkest time in my life.
How's that for something to think about on those dark days? Gold is found in that darkness. Gold
that you don't even know exists. Hang on to that thought and come be part of our journey.

Perspective

"But you will be better soon..." by Laurel http://rescuinglittlel.wordpress.com/2011/10/08/but-you-will-be-better-soon/"Perspective" by Terri http://bonesigharts.blogspot.com/So I read both Terri and Laurel's blogs today and i think they go hand in hand. They both touch on perspective. Laurel mentions the "water skimming bug people" (I absolutely love that) who I guess focus on the mundane things in life? A current project on their home or their bank account or how their spoiled brat is doing with something. They are focusing on how Laurel is doing in her current physical state instead of seeing her inner beauty.I wonder sometimes if i am like that. I'm sure I am. Hoping someone I know will "get better" instead of seeing any positive changes or how they are dealing with whatever it is they are going through. While I love to be there for people I also have a hard time making eye contact just passing by someone. Usually unless someone is actually having a conversation with me or asking me something I tend to not look directly at people. Maybe I don't want to be bothered? Or I am "on a mission". These things usually happen when I'm at work so I'm usually in the middle of something "important".Terri touches on her relationship with her father and if they had more time would things have been better between them. While I have a pretty good relationship with both my parents, I also don't spend much time with them. Usually a few hours a week or I'll see them at the store or something. Yeah, I work a lot but they're not getting any younger and I know I'll be kicking myself in the future when they're gone and I realize we could have had more time together. But, I'm a bit of a hermit. Content to hang out on my couch after work surfing the net or reading a book or something. So a lot of what Laurel and Terri said really got my attention. Even Laurel walking the dogs. I love to be outside when I'm out there. It's the getting out the door that's the hard thing for me.

glad this provoked some thought for you...i'm guessing there is some very distinct differences between how men and women view life and would assess their overall satisfaction....i relate very much on an emotional level which is where most of my women folk are too....i do know that my husband identifies strongly with his work which is more how men relate...have you read any Robert Bly or Joseph Campbell stuff for men...that would really rock your world!thanks for the kind words....:-DIt is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”"

I don't know those authors, but I may check them out. I enjoy reading both of your blogs because they make me think or touch me in some way.
Howdy, Stranger!
