Powerful love lost is deserving of tears

I think sometimes you just need to cry.  Grieving the loss of someone you once loved is necessary to overcome the sadness and start looking forward.  I have heard from so many people that it is time to "Get Over It".  However, I don't think you can put a time limit on how or when love fades away.  Maybe it never does completely.  

In everything that has happened I have realized one thing.  If you find that it seems harder for you to move on than it is for others; you must not take that as a sign of weakness; you must realize that it is harder for you because your love was stronger than what most people ever allow themselves to feel.  If it was easy to let go, you never loved in the first place.  

Moral of the Story: Go ahead and cry and be happy you experienced a type of love that most people are too afraid to feel.  Letting go isn't forgetting someone else, its remembering what you loved most about yourself.   

Good Intentions equals Good Choices

Yesterday I made steps toward one of the most difficult, hurtful, scary and most painful situations I am sure I will ever endure.  My head and heart are going crazy today.

Moral of the Story:  No matter how bad someone has hurt you, if you focus on following your intuition, listen to your heart and continue to strive to be a good person, then you can know that your intentions are good, and the choices you are making will be for the good.  Bad choices only come from bad intentions.

Forgiveness, Recovery, Beautiful

A beautiful way of describing one of the most difficult actions a person can do.

Moral of the Story: Forgiving someone that hurt you is difficult, but beautiful.  It means that the love that you had in your heart wasn't forever crushed, but set aside to recover. I'm not completely there yet, but closer.

Moving On

Moving on advice

It is absolutely vital for you to move forward with life and love. 

Being willing to trust again is key. 

Take things one step at a time. 

Don't try to make sense out of nonsense of the past.

Rationalizing behavior or sympathizing is pointless.

Time heals nothing. It is what you do with the time that matters. 

Remember that it is better to be healthy alone than sick with someone else.

Moral of the Story: You will come to realize that  the one thing that you thought made you happy really wasn't what was making you happy at all.  That's when you are able to shed a few small tears and then just let go.

Passing the Tests in the Middle

The words that grabbed my attention in this quote was Resolute Courage.  I have had to dig deep a whole bunch of times throughout the past year and a half.  I am lucky, my courage grew the minute my son was born.  I knew that in order to protect him from the negative things of this world I needed to get stronger and have a lot more courage.

Moral of the Story: Nothing Worth Having comes easy.  Acheiving something really great will include patience, sacrifice, pain and sadness - The best things in life will be the hardest to get and the hardest to keep.  You will always encounter people who are searching for happiness in the "now" - do not let them deter you.  Remember;  The only way to get from the Pit to the Palace is to pass the tests in between.  Keep going, Keep pressing forward - The best is yet to come.

Compliments go farther than Critisism

Wow, I have had such a complimentary day today.  A few days ago my first "Golf Column" went out in a few magazines and so many people have come up to me and  said "Thank you"  I played great!
All that is nice to hear, but today I received one of the nicest compliments I have ever received.




One of the Country Club Members said:

"Thank you for being who you are"

That got me thinking, how many people in my life do I Thank for being who they are.  The first person that pops into my mind is my little ones Swim Instructor- Sarah Dodge - We are so lucky to have found her and now to be good friends with her.  I have a list of people from family to friends that I am thankful they are the people that they are.





Moral of the Story: Remember to Thank the kind and beautiful people in your life for being in your life.
So many things, so many people end up being taken for granted, Don't be someone who just simply lets really good people slip through your fingers.

Passionately devote your life to your life

This quote was obviously written for someone starting a business, however I think it can be also read as someone who is starting a "new" life.  For my little guy and me our life is one big new adventure and there has been so many occasions that I have had  to make some very tough choices.

I have decided that my instincts are 99.9% right.  Actually, I can remember my instincts telling me of what was going to happen long before our "new adventure" began.  Honestly, I knew it was coming.....  I just didn't want to believe it.  Sometimes you can have so much love for someone your instincts will be screaming at you and you still just never hear it and never see it coming.  Thats ok, If you were able to love the wrong person that much, just imagine how much you will love the right person.   

The last part of this quote is what really grabbed me.  Don't let others diverge you from your core goal.  Moral of the Story: When you are going through troubles you will receive a multitude of advice that will stretch from one side to the other, key issues will be completely and totally different depending on the person you are speaking to.  Listen to advice, consider all the sources from whom you are getting advice and then make the determination if it something you should listen to and most importantly, that advice should fit with your instincts.

Someday, One Day - Everything will work out

Living your life while awaiting a big or small change is difficult, however I have been trying to make the best of it.  I saw this quote and realized that I really didn't need to have all the answers right now.  If I trust in God that he will put me and my little guy where we are supposed to be when we are suppose to be there then I can stop worrying so much about it and enjoy life alot more.  I always remind myself to "Never Miss a Moment" but sometimes my head is just churning with doubts and worries about the future.

Moral of the Story: What is meant to be, will be.  God has a way of taking all the bad things that happen to good people and then helping everything work out the way it is suppose to work out.  There is a scripture in the bible that I love and repeat constantly.  It is: Trust God with all your heart, mind and strength and do not rely on your own understanding".  When I follow that I know everything will be ok.
