Taking her home !

Finally we are taking our houseboat home. Working on the lights. 

Just Thinking

     It has come to my attention how interesting it is when we are young we seem to think it's important that we get our opinion out there.  Really, no matter what subject matter it involves.  I think it strikes us that hey, we are adults now and  people will listen to us and maybe even want to hear what we have to say.  So, of course we kinda get our thoughts into this conversation and that conversation and pretty soon they really are waiting to hear just what we have to say.  So our ego is pumped up just a little  and we spill.  I mean we are giving our thoughts and opinions on just about everything and to who ever wants to listen.  Now, maybe this is a good thing and maybe not so good.  Yes, of course, its okay to give your opinion, especially if its something important to you but then again sometimes we get a little to big for our britches and are somewhat full of ourselves and  then everything goes down hill from there.

What I am talking about is People, family.  You know those you Love.  You get it into your head that maybe you don't like the way they are acting or they have said something you don't agree with or  even worse you remember something from way in the past and you think it's important you bring it up and give your opinion of it.  That's when all hell breaks loose and the, you know what, hits the fan. Sadly, you realize or maybe you don't, you have lost the most precious, wonderful,  thing in your life.  Love.  That's right you not only have lost that but you have hurt someone or maybe even more that one really bad.  And let me tell you there is no quick returns.  Your sunk.  Now all of a sudden that superior feeling you had just a minute ago and that blown up ego you have been carrying around has deflated.

Okay, so you don't like the way someone has been acting.  Let me tell you, unless you are willing to get inside their heads or you have a way of finding out just what is going on in their lives, back off.  Keep an open mind and just listen  You don't need to even make a comment.  Let it go.

Now I am not saying this is for every situation but sometimes we just need that word of caution to stop and ask ourselves if this is that important or can we just let it go.  Hey, sometimes it's not, then I say have at it.  Let the sparks fly.
