Musings of the mind...

As I have been observing people and my own self through the past many years, I have discovered a few 'understandings' for myself as I face the innuendos that life keeps throwing at me...

- that a brisk walk or a warm bath does not take away the anger from within... you just get so tired by both actions that you get temporarily distracted from the anger...which remains... dormant-until the next time over.
- that it is not the cold words or the anger or the hurt that pains you,but its the lack of love that you see in the other person that wounds...

- that no matter how hard you try, sometimes your best isn't ever enough...

- that eating chocolates only raises the calorie intake....never mind the fact they are supp to decrease cholestrol and depression...and how can they be anti-depressants, when the fact that they raise calories is food for depression anyway?!

- that there is never a whole truth- but many versions...each differing as to what an individual thinks...but each true to itself only because there is belief behind every one of them.

- that sometimes its best to let things pass by you and don't bother about them.... then again, sometimes its best you get it all out of your system....

- that people have thick skins while the walls around are very thin...
- that the music that stirs you is the one that has the saddest strains and haunts the soul...
- that each day we need a moment to be still, silent...and just be.
- that being alone does not make you lonely...but being lonely finds you alone always....

- that the human race was born to kill...and violently.
- that the pain one feels today is the happiness of yesterday....
- that there is a very fine line between reality and imagination...
- that either you trust or you dont...
- that there is magic- as real as the sun and the moon... and within us.
- that a smile and a hug are two of the best gifts to get unexpectedly, especially when you need it the most...a call, message or letter too make a wonderful difference...
- that hate is not the opposite of love- indifference is...
- that when you love - you just do...there's never a reason, nor a doubt.
- that being true to oneself is probably the toughest and most courageous thing to do...
- that what people say they mean is not exactly as they mean what they say...
- that a person's comprehension of they think you said need not be the same as what you believe you meant..
- that when you have to feel the pain, any excuse will do- even the smallest. Ditto for happiness...
- that when you are truly happy from within, everything around has a musical ring and a lilt to it...
- that music heals, helps and holds you together....it also elevates, embraces and encourages you...
- that its ok to be yourself once in a while, if not always...
- that you need not change just because someone else has and expects you to...
- that you can be happy and sad at the same time or in consecutive periods of time or in rotation....
- that give rhymes with live...
- that every once in a while, one must take a vacation- away from yourself...even if its in the mind...

- that strawberry n cream is indeed a divine combination....berry berry yummmy!

- that we need to let the the ones we love know that we do... small actions can make a whole lot of difference...more than big words can...

- that dreams come true...especially when you believe in them... and that we should just let them take us where we are to go...

- that every one of us is finally only looking for love...
