it is people

If you have read many of my previous posts you will know that quite often I rant about the ignorance, stupidity, and general egocentrism of the human race. Today however I wish to sing a different tune and revel in the kindness of mankind. People are bizarre no question about it. We often are cruel and unkind. We often judge and condem our fellow man. But we also can bring incredible happiness to the world. We can care and love for one another. We can make one another smile and laugh. We as mere humans can give comfort, healing and compassion.
There are so many good people in the world. People who give, listen, love, care, grow, learn. I am so lucky to have many good people in my life. I am grateful for each and everyone of them.

it is worth it

As I am sitting here today I am thinking about a situation I am currently in. It's good, but sometimes challenging on my patcience and emotions. I was thinking back through people I have known relationships I have experienced and different things I have done in life. Almost eveything that I value and cherish has had difficult beginings. My family moving here to KC, not easy to adjust but so much good has come of it, I had an employee who was incredibly challenging at the start and he turned out to be the best player on the team, my horse and I had a wretched begining but he ended up a good solid mount to take into the show ring. My point being is that maybe sometimes we want to give up, call it quits, well maybe that's just me. But I am trying to learn from my past and say it will be worth it in the end, possibly more so than I can imagine. Just because something doesn't begin idealy doesn't mean it will not end well. I guess though the flip side is maybe we should quit while we are ahead. Maybe something is doomed to fail and we as optimistic hard working people keep at it til our fingers bleed and our brains are fried. I guess the thing we have to make sure of is that what we are struggling through is something worth going through the murk and mire for. If it's right or if it's not. Right now I say the situation I find myself in is right, so right.

it is a choice

we all make choices, every moment of everyday. One thing I find incredibly interesting, and often annoying, is the number of people who walk into my little shop and have no idea what they want. Coffee or no coffee? Food or no food? I have come to the conclusion that the world is full of people who are afraid to make choices. What I would like to tell all these people in the world is as follow; the world is not as black and white as you fear it is. There are so many choices to make, and most of them are not clear cut right vs. wrong. In a lot of life I believe that there are many right answers, maybe one answer would be better than the other but that doesn't make the others wrong. I think that so many people are so tied up with making the absolutely right beyond right choice for everything that they forget to live. Entirely. It is sad. Terribly terribly incredibly sad. Live, that's all I'm going to tell you, try something new.
