I enjoy your daily thoughts . . . . How do I find out who added me to yourmailing list??????, WA, Calgary
Mark - Yes, Failure to Launch was appropriately named. I don't think it isbest that you share your feelings about those close to you i.e. DB with thegeneral public. In due respect some things are best left private. VBL-Englewood, CO
I read VPs comments and felt they were a little heavy. I definitely agree that people should be thoughtful of others and that there is little better in life than being able to give. I also believe you only live once, so its OK to be a little selfish sometimes! My "holy grail of happiness" comes from the right balance of giving and taking ... and that even includes the occasional hour sipping a good single malt, reading a "mindless novel" and being totally anti-social! "Dream as if you'll live forever. Live like you'll die today" - James Dean , KD, CalgaryReading your musing today is fascinating and touched a chord. We all struggle through the same stages of becoming more conscious and discovering what is really important in life..... Indeed, the one on one relationship is the one that requires the most attention and is most vulnerable. No faking or retreating into our little cave is an option in THAT one..........That special relationship is the one where we care/invest our heart and soul for 100% and bang...... becomes the most vulnerable one where we bare our hearts, souls, show our character to the core and share our bodies. With that amazing, wondrous intimacy comes a heightened sensitivity to a partner's words, behaviors, touch and body language......... Once we've totally surrendered to one another, with our trust at it's peak, with our hopes, expectations and those glorious moments.....we begin to notice the imperfections......and many times perceive remarks as negative, unkind, inconsiderate or criticism that hurts so much from the one you love than uttered by a stranger..... going through a crisis is part of the learning curve, you either learn how to resolve the issues through great communication and fill up the horn of 'love' to the brim again or the relationship will deteriorate and come to an end.
