It's about 9 pm on Friday night...I'm just watching a movie with my little one had a really busy and good day today. Just watched a movie called P.S. I love you....oh wow it made me cry...I loved it! There was a great line in the movie that I couldn't help but memorize because it rang true to me...
We're so arrogant aren't we? So afraid of age we do everything we can to prevent it, we don't realize what a privledge it is to grow old with someone....someone who doesn't drive you to commit murder, or humuliate you beyond repair....
I thought that line was great!...if you think about it..basically in society everyone is so worried about their looks because it's a norm..what you look like on the outside...and few take a chance to look on the inside...The virtual "judging a book by the cover." I think that it takes so much to look beyond the cover...open the book and take time to read what is on the inside..look at the pictures take time to read line by line..page by page...chapter by chapter...
It's funny how sometimes your book takes you in a different direction, a direction than you had not chosen for your self. To me it is exciting to think about what is next not only in the lives of the ones you care about..buy what's in the next few pages, or chapters..in your life.
I think it is about being flexible as well, and taking the good with the bad. It's about change too..the more chances you give you or others to change and experiment, the more relationships become an adventure in which we would wonder what the next step may be...
The ability to be flexible and adaptable resonates within our relationships. But if we are not fexible, and do not adapt to the new...we will be stressed, irritable, hostile..and overwhelmed by a situation we do not expect, and have less mental, emotional and physical energy for expressing the best of ourselves with others.
Adapting to present reality means accepting frustration. We may not like it...but the present is the present and it is a gift. The idea is to try to accept your present reality. Because, with all its hard, unpleasant invasiveness..reality is our great teacher. To me it is amazing how reality procedes and invades our life with out even asking...proceeding wihout considering our hopes and dreams...
Sometimes reality bites...flexibility helps.....adaptability helps with change...
I Love You all....thank you for your love and affection and prayers and making me laugh and cry, and being there for me.
