In response to "Getting Started and Introspection - Quotes "

These are two great, thoughtful entries, Carly. I like your thoughts on the different ways of enjoying an experience. First you live the experience, but in my experience it doesn’t seem real at the time, it’s only afterwards your mind lets you see it like a film or movie. I’ve never bungle-jumped for instance but have done other adventurous things, but I can imagine seeing myself doing it from another’s perspective,
As for the second quote, one wonders why we’re so fearful sometimes. I lways ask myself “what’s the worst that can happen?” I probably won’t die, I may get derided or laughed at, but that’s not my problem and shame on anyone who would do such a thing. Anyway as get older we get braver. And that’s true.

Those experiences that are painful unfortunately haunt you and often are the best fodder for writing.
I love the quote too because it reminds me that second time is the best.

When I think of this quote a blank page comes to mind. I fear not being able to write more than most in the moment things but my life is quite sheltered now. In the past, I would have been more like your entry. I lived in fear all the time.

It's so good to see your entry today. As always, very thoughtful entry.

We are magnetically charged meat suites. ... nice.

I sat with a wise-old Swede recently lamenting about my inability to make good choices... or just choices.

I said that I liked Sisaket (in Isaan, Thailand) better than here... He said... then go. What about my loneliness? "Someone there will be attracted to you."

Let it come?

He also mentioned his many romantic failures, including one girlfriend of 3 years who slashed him. *sigh* He has a new one. We met. I like her.

I got this link on Instagram and thought I would add it here: Tom Hanks - This Too Shall Pass

I would never hope that anyone was treated unfairly, but I get the point of his message.

The "this too shall pass" has helped me many a time.

You are wise!

Living in the present is a challenge, I agree, but sometimes it's good to just Zen out the world....even for 5 minutes at a time.

There's a song I think about every time I hear "nothing stays the same." It's by Patty Loveless, and it's called How Can I Help You Say Goodbye. Life definitely changes. I have a tough time living in the present. It's hard not to fall back into the past or worry about the future.

Sometimes living in the moment feels like ground hog day with Bill Murray for me. I keep trying to see the positive but it is challenging.

There are many days when I don't wax so philosophical.

I do think that we are capable of learning lessons; it's just that sometimes I'm a tad slow.

Good Virtues to Have

30 Day Blogging Challenge

PROMPT January 29
Everyone did a great job with filling the war chest yesterday! There's so many great prompts and I'm sure Em will love every one of them.
Since today *is* War Chest Wednesday, I'm going to grab one.
What is your favorite virtue? Give a few examples like kindness, cleanliness, tact, truth, generosity. Is your favorite one you possess, or one you simply admire in other people? Do you have a strategy to develop it yourself?
Prompt is courtesy of Kåre Enga, P.O. 22, Blogville

I would say kindness and patience. I try very hard to develop them within myself. some days are easier than others.
Today is Bell Let's Talk day. Talking about mental health. I find that kindness and patience go a long way to listen and offer support to those in need. It is also good to practice kindness and patience with others as you never know what the other person is going through.
Everyone could always use a smile and a friendly hello.
