Learning life lessons is ALWAYS good cuz it is real.
Real is always preferable to "not real" which is numb.

Respect is the most important thing in any relationship.When that goes,the fabric erodes.
How and when it will erode is unknown but it will ----as surely as moths in wool.

Yourself,only, is your paint box. No one else can put colors on you unless you agree.
That is hard to see and know, but it is true,completely and totally.

Someone else's colors can splash on you and may burn you but they cannot have permanent residence unless you open the door.

The inner you is the hard part to change but the only part you can.
Even if you moved the chess pieces to fit perfectly, your inner self would not be at peace.

You would ,always,wonder when will they move again?

That being said , the inner self is the seemingly, hardest to heal.

You want to get your finger paints and paint ,furiously, on the outside in a mad passion to make it right.

You paint and paint but find that the paint runs and flakes and dries at the wrong time.

It didn't work, all your efforts. The job looks terrible and you are covered with paint.

You painted the wrong thing, Silly.
You painted outside the lines and your picture looks funky like when my dog has a hair cut and she is so much trouble that they leave her half cut
That is kind of my life ,to date.

My dog looks like a lion when she is a Yorkie.
She comes home from the Groomer ,each time, with some level of funk.
It makes me laugh until I roll on the floor.

If you screw up,which you will, apologize profusely.
Don't be proud about it. Humble yourself and let the person know it grieved you to hurt them.
You care, terribly, and you will try not to do it again, whatever "it" is.

People's feelings are fragile, as are your own.

It is OK to make mistakes. It does NOT make "you" a mistake.

It makes you flawed and that makes you human.

I believe in God. I think of how he made us.
He gave us tears cuz we would need them.There is a beauty to tears,flowing.
I learned this when I could NOT cry.
You value every tear from then on if you have ever been SO sad you had no tears.

You have a space given to you, where you can stand and must.

You can dress it as you like,an understated brown or crazy blue.


It can change ,too. You may have worn a button down business suit your whole life but can try mauve.

You can shed clothes when they don't work.

I hope to end up with a pale pink or yellow like they have in baby's blankets.

The rule is you can only decorate your own space.
You may peek at another's but you can't grab.

Kindergarten rules apply.

Think of kid's faces when you look at people.
It will help you understand them and yourself.

Most kids know how to live ,simply.

Kids want order .The order never went away .
We just got too smart to see it. You don't know that until the end,or almost the end ,when it is too late to do anything about it.

See as clearly as you can, always, even if it hurts and it will.
See ,yourself, with the strongest and sharpest light.
That will teach you all you need to know about others.
When you are hurt,know that you could do the same thing to another.

You may want someone to come in your space, really badly,so you are not alone.
You kid yourself that they can. It even feels that they do,sometimes.
However, they don't and can't.
This is the hardest lesson, I think

Never,ever,ever,ever put yourself down.
You did the best with what you had,however poorly that may have been.
You can go forward in new ways
