This is exactly what the title says,,, just random thoughts. Perhaps more will follow later today, perhaps not. Any one of these thoughts might be a blogging in & of itself, but for now, just rambling...
* Becoming more "seasoned" [older] certainly has its advantages in that more pieces of life's "puzzle" somehow [
oddly] seem to fit together.
* We ALL have our crosses to carry. The grass MAY look greener on the other side, but no one gets away with a life Scot free of troubles. Some hide them better than others though.
* My nearly life-long semi-obsession with how siblings from the same family can be so utterly different continues. Sunday last I was in a conversation with someone about my twin nieces [
35 years young now ] and how alike yet different they are. If maternal twins can be so different, then it shouldn't be a mystery that regular siblings would be so inclined. Yet the fascination [for me] continues.
* Going to see
WICKED at Shea's in Buffalo this week with
front row seats = the heart beats even faster!
* Certain Christians need to stop using the word "just" so much when they "pray". as in "Lord, we just love Ya Lord, we we just thank Ya, Lord without You we'd just be nothing, just know that we love Ya Jesus,,,Lord I just wanna say how much You're adored......." THIS has become such a buggaboo with me that, try as I might, I end up counting how many times certain Christians use the word 'just' when they are praying. And 9 times out of 10, these same " just abusers " are some of the first people to criticize those who recite written prayers. Well, they need to JUST get over it I'd say.
* Have said it before and will say it again: When all is said & done, it usually isn't.
* Some biological family members are in our lives not so much to love & support us as to make us stronger,, if indeed it's true that what doesn't kill us makes stronger ... just sayin' ...
* I often watch hulu.com when I am on the treadmill. Am now confirmed that we need to contact one of the shows from HGTV or DIY network, probably more than one: Kitchen Impossible, Desperate Landscapes,
Wasted Spaces, Yard Crashers, Sweat Equity, House Crashers,,,,, the list goes on & on.
* Really liked seeing
! Bingo A New Musical ! in Angelica last weekend. The Angelica Players did an excellent job ,,, kudos to Staci Curry & crew.
* Sometimes the need to insulate ones heart has to take priority over other considerations. Said insulation can protect from the heat of anger as well as the
bitter cold of hurtfulness.
* And we will end [ for now, may add more later ] in like manner as we began the list: The more 'seasoned' I become the more amazed I am that some folks seem to crumble at the slightest jolt that life gives them whilst others seem to get sand blasted from every angle and still "keep on keepin' on". I strive to be like the later,,,but I fear being like the first mentioned. And so it goes ,,,,,,,
KEEP A SONG
IN YOUR HEART!
