Tonight's Thoughts

~Everyone gets older, it is a natural fact of life. There is no running from it, or fixing it. (though I have seen some truly horrible attempts from Hollywood people! Who wants to look like a warped cartoon??)

~When we lie to others we lie to ourselves. It is an endless sharp tooth in the butt reality.

~True friends and lovers would not use you as a means to an end. It is their steadfastness and unselfish sharing that makes them a treasure.

~ Faith will see you through terrible times, because it provides us with a hand of guidance. To know that this life is just a beginning, and death is the next step we can take without fear, is a gift. It is the living that would deny someone peace. We are left with anger and hurt that they were taken from us. If you believe in the after life, you know that they are someplace where pain is no more, and they await to hold you once again. I don't know why, but I have always been certain of this, even after losing a parent, 3 beloved grandparents, a brother, and friends. All were beautiful people, and yes the world is less without them here. But I don't doubt that they await me; it's a feeling that I carry in my soul that they are watching over me till my time comes as well. And I do wish that certainty for everyone I know, it will bring you peace as well.

~And finally the expression "excuses are like assholes, everybody has them and they all stink?" Is a true statement. There are always excuses that we can make to 'clear' ourselves from being wrong for the things we do. I've made them, and I know others that regularly do so. None of the excuses given can change a truth. So why make them? Because mistakenly we believe that the truth will damn us in someone else's eyes. Honesty can sometimes be hard work, but it does leave you clean in spirit and soul.

Have a good night, time to get ready for work.
