Just a few thoughts...

Today, a lot of things amaze me.

• People who do a lot of talking but don't live up to the talk. I think this is called hypocrisy.
• People who put conditions on love. Then it's not love.
• Hateful talk. Hateful actions. 
• Hate and fear mongering in politics then dumbfoundedness when deaths occur. Duh.
• The incomprehensible, juvenile nerve of a young, dumb, naive girl.
• The dichotomy with which a person lives their life instead of being true to only one way. Make a choice.
• How some claim to love but don't move to make the damage they caused repaired.
• How some hide behind religion and use it as an insurance policy or means to, as they perceive, get what they want out of their genie-god by doing what is "expected" or perceived as good and true when their innate character only shows otherwise. Transparent, I say. Spirituality should come from a pure place, not a motivation to get stuff.
• Meanness. Pure, sheer meanness upon a bystander.

Enough with the negative. Here's what amazes me in a good way:

• My beautiful girl and her long, long legs
• My life. My family--namely, my husband and children. They are the definition of karma for me, I think, if I do say so myself. 
• The handsomeness of my son.
• The steadfastness of my husband. He never wavers. He's good; innately, supremely good and true and has given me a life that surpasses all expectations. Amazing.
• Exponential love within the walls of my home. I swear, it just breeds!
• How my life started out and where it is now and how on earth I made it here!
• The transformation I've experienced in 3 1/2 years in this place and a specific person who has opened up my eyes to so much. I give a lot of credit to her for helping me to be happy where I am. (Yes, I know you're reading this and yes, I love you for all you've done for me and my family. I don't think you really know how much.)
• Good food. Good wine. Good friends and the kindness that radiates our way each day.
• Puppies. Cute.little.puppies. I'm a bowl of mush.
• The capacity we have for learning in this life. And understanding. And growing. It never ends.

Peace.
