Actions Speak Louder Than Words...

  I'm sure we all remember as children when parents or guardians would discipline us and we'd promise to correct our behavior, and it came down to the, "actions speak louder than words", remark that can ring the bell of awareness. As children and teenagers we would oftentimes get ourselves out of trouble by promising the world of change in our actions to quiet the pep talk. And sometimes we would slip back into the same frame of mind as before. Our track record was revealing a repetitive flaw in our thinking. An agreement was made that before going out, the bedroom will be picked up and tidy...never happened. We were supposed to cut the grass weekly, and it turned out to be bi-weekly. Or, it was decided to spend more fun time with your younger sibling and excuses became the norm. Well, it was then time  for parents to take the upper hand in the situation. It came down to a parental visit to your bedroom a robust conversation, and the long lasting words of advice, that echo still in the adult mind, " actions speak louder than words."

It's In The Will…

 Lot's of talking beforehand, writing it all down, dotting the "i's", crossing the 't's", speaking with all involved with ease. Corrections occur and changes possibly made. Those parties of concern have the disposition in mind of being clear and fair honoring the prearrangement in it's entirety. Thoughts encircle the writers spirit, at times scratching their heads and warming the heart as they travel back in time through life's antiquity. The caretaker at the helm holds a steady hand. Others, wait in quiet remorse, recollecting the original day of conversations. Everyone, remember to be "jovial', as for certainty the writers wishes and design are without any doubts or questions because,  'it's in the will'...

Stay In Your Lane…

Thinking back as a teenager taking driving lessons, that is when I first heard the phrase," stay in your lane".  It's humorous how it is applied in today's vernacular.  When at work, if someone is advising you to be careful with office politics...here comes that sentiment.  Another situation might arise where you want to date the boss's daughter, that phrase is tossed your way as a "tip off".  Finally, after just a few lesson's on skiing, you want to take on the " advanced slope', and the instructor recommends, yep..."stay in your lane".  For me, I'll always keep my eyes on the road, keep within the solid white lines because those lanes have always been tried and true...

I Remember That Feeling…

 How many times can we recall a special feeling that perpetually stays with us?  There are many for sure. A feeling that touches our very being and registers deep in our memory bank.  It may be a moment where you realized jumping into a cold pool reverberates throughout your entire body!  But, it's very exhilarating and makes all your senses come alive.  It could be that first kiss from an admirer that opens the heart towards the awareness of relationships and commitments.  Or, that first airplane flight that left an indelible affect on future air travel.  Also, there's always that sense of maturity and accomplishment when we receive our first paycheck.  There are countless amounts of moments we experience that make us smile or frown reminiscing back in time.  Mostly, it's a reflective twinkle in our mind that we give ourselves when we warmly recall nostalgic bygone events that shaped our lives...and whisper,

                                                     “ I remember that feeling”

Not That Far Away…

We've all been in a situation at some point where our destination keeps evading us.  When we first do our mapping it crosses our mind, ' good, its not that far away'.  As we get closer the address keeps evading us.  A local resident is nice enough to offer directions. " Turn left here, then go straight and go around a circle and its on the right side."  And the parting words are, " It's not that far away."  Of course, eventually you arrive at the address but you smile to yourself and say out loud, " It really isn't that far away..."

Honor Thy Parents…

It's almost not a thought as life progresses, carrying on our personal lives as if it is all that matters.  Our nurturers, protectors are with us all the way.  What get's lost in our youth can be our display of love, thankfulness and attitude towards our parents.  In our later years of maturity as adults the realization emerges of how wonderful parents really are.  To honor our parents, seems to develop as life travels on and wisdom begins to be a dominant attribute in our psyche.  What a blessing our parents are, unconditional love and support.  In some cases we mirror ourselves against them.  It's never too late to devote memories, conversations and events that were special moments which  can only be attributed to our guardians.  Cherish times together, celebrate their impact on your life.  Never forget the spirit they held for you, perpetually remember and pay tribute towards the two people who conceived your existence.

Once in a Lifetime…

As we get older in life, we experience an event or events that resonate within us. The title suggests a one time circumstance that quickly comes and goes. But is it really? Can there be many or a few of these instances? Yes, I believe so. In many facets of our lives this adage appears most times without notice. There can be many examples. It may appear as a one time 'perfect' job opportunity that either you seized or it slipped away. Chances are another opportunity came up and it worked out well. Or, it may present itself as that dream home that somehow didn't develop but disappointed.Yet, we survived and moved on and built great memories in our home that fate directed  us to. Its such a great ideal and notion that gets romanticized almost to the point of being celestial and maybe, even out of reach. But if we are honest with ourselves, the once in a lifetime concept comes in second to our reality that we have come to love and enjoy...
