Hello everyone,
I hope you are well and enjoying the end of summer.
With all the steady rain this is the first year I can remember that I'll actually get melons and watermelon in my garden. You can definitely tell that the weather has changed around the world. Today there was an earthquake on the East Coast of the United States. And as I was talking to a friend he said maybe this is to wake us up. And my answer was yes. Everything going on in the world is meant to wake us up. It's time to wake up:)
people always say why don't you sit down and blog. To be honest I just can't, I don't really care.
I work full time, maintain this farm and all its duties, in addition to creating our own food sources. It's a lot of work and by the end of the day the last thing I want to do is sit in front of a box. Although it's fun to be on the computer I've never really gotten into it that much. I think mainly because it frustrates me.
I'm going to read a passage from the Language of Letting Go. I read this passage because it's the way I feel and it is the way that things should be. I know that I have very strong opinions and one of those very strong opinions is that no one speaks the truth.
Directness: Direct people are a joy to be around. We never have to guess what they're really thinking or feeling, because they're honest about their thoughts and openly express their feelings. We never have to wonder if they're with us because they want to be, or if they're there out of guilt and obligation. When they do something for us, we don't have to worry whether they'll end up resenting us because direct people generally do things that please themselves.
We don't have to fuss about the status of our relationship because if we ask, they'll tell us.
We don't have to worry if they're angry because they deal openly with their anger and resolve it quickly. We don't have to ponder whether they are talking about us behind our backs because if they have something to say, it will be said to us directly. We don't have to wonder if we can rely on them because direct people are trustworthy. Wouldn't it be nice if we were all that direct.
Today, I will let go of my notions that it is somehow good or desirable to be indirect. Instead, I will strive for honesty, directness, and clarity in my communication. I will let my directness in my relationships begin with me.
Think about it and enjoy your day :-)
LoveSteven
