The eyes are the windows of the soul……how many times have you heard that phrase?? I am watching my son’s dog for a week and I think I realize what that statement means. He is a cute terrier and he has the energy of 10 dogs but when he jumps on your lap and starts to kiss you he looks at you with these eyes that show so much love it is amazing. I once had a boyfriend that tried to look at you with his eyes to give you a sense of love . It always seemed fake because he tried too hard. That was the windows of his soul! Someone recently was caught in a lie by two people on of them was me and when we were speaking I looked directly in her eyes without flinching she became very nervous and could not keep up the eye contact. So there it is if you want to see into the soul of a person look deeply into their eyes and it will be right there in front of you…… With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony, and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things. William Wordsworth

Don’t you wish sometimes you could go back in time and do it over??? What is the one thing most people say? I want to know what I know now. Of course hindsight is the best sight. What would you do over??? Your marriage? Your career?? Your friends?? I was talking to a friend the other day and she said she wished she could go back only 10 years ago to the time of her divorce and not meet the man she dated for a while and did not later on become friends with her ex husband. I thought but each of those experiences taught you a lesson whether you wanted it to or not. I think our life is comprised of many experiences some of them good and some of them not so good but all of the times together make us who we are right now…… Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood. Helen Keller

Irrational behavior…….sometimes you can be driven to just start screaming in public or in some cases even hit someone!!!! I think today I was driven to be irrational by what? I do not know. As I was empting my verbal tirade the people around me pretended to just go about their business. I look back and I wish I could say I should not have done it but I cannot because I really needed to explode. I work with someone who has tantrums when the pressure of the job is too much. I thought he should not do this but maybe he is right all along! I now wonder if sometimes you need to blow ……like a steam engine who has built up so much steam it needs to come out… A friend of mine was receiving physical therapy and he cursed as he felt pain and then said I am sorry. The therapist said it is known that cursing reduces pain so when you are in pain curse out loud you will feel better!!!! So I guess this tells us to let it out……………it just might make you feel better. Never go to bed mad. Stay up and fight. Phyllis Diller

Soul searching…..remember when you were young and you would always be “trying to find yourself” but you never knew where to look? Sometimes I think if you found yourself back then you would not need to soul search now….but actually there are occasions when in life you need to dig deep inside yourself to find the answer.I myself am at a road block where I no longer know what to do about a situation. Many people feel this way and are looking for answers. How do you know when you are doing the right thing??? I have a friend who has a problem with her family especially her mother. This woman is in her 50’s but still is trying to get her mother’s approval. Now she wants to throw her mother a 70th birthday party and her mother does not want it…so my friend is beside herself trying to make her mother happy even at a financial expense that she cannot afford. So she is soul searching to realize …at this point she will not get her mother’s approval or just keep trying forever or does her mother already approve of her but just not say it ?????? My situation I am helping someone who is sick and is pushing against the help all the time making my life crazy. Does he want the help and just bucking it or does he really not want the help and rather do it alone????? I think digging way down deep inside yourself you will come up with the answer that you always knew just like finding yourself ……..were you ever really lost???????? Open your eyes, look within. Are you satisfied with the life you’re living? Bob Marley
