It is not the colour of the hair, or the clothes you wear, what is important is the quality of the time you share when in each other’s company.
Compromise and hesitation tend to make things more complicated. Compromising and holding back your true feelings only serves to make things even more complicated. Always be true to yourself.
Let’s have a humble mind. Once you think, “that’s good enough,” you become blind to the opportunities to be more creative. (PL2015.30,2022.30)

I spent time with a small fierce falcon yesterday. He/she and I had a staring contest, he could have been as curious as I was. My cell phone capture the bird enough so a friend could identify it. I am using a picture found on the internet.

I didn’t want to hear, but what could I do, if I moved away too quickly they would know they were not alone. Sound carries when you are walking along a trail, especially if it is a boardwalk, or a trail that winds and turns. The couple were not happy with each other, and both were trying to get their point across. Unfortunately, at the same time. Neither was listening to the other.
Sometimes in life we find ourselves alone.. a lot to think about and no one to dialogue with. Pets are great listeners, but.. don’t offer much in the line of feedback. If you care enough to argue with each other, then would it not be important to actually listen to what the other is saying. For those of us who have lost a partner .. because life was no longer an option for them …the finality of that separation is something that never goes away, You can’t take words back that were said in anger, or frustration.
Respect the existence of each other The world consists of people with different circumstances and different lifestyles Respect and understand each other.

Everything we have today, was built on the hard work of our ancestors..
Always remember to be humble and thankful. Every moment you live, every experience you have, becomes part of who you are. Be yourself, no one can do it better than you.
