I was listening to the radio this morning and someone said something that hit me to the core: a body at rest, rests; a body in motion, moves. The important thing is to keep moving and strive for a better you. Even if you do something and fall on your face, it’s not the end of the world. At least you are moving forward and that’s the key! What’s a little stumbling block afterall? A pebble on the road of life. There’s always a way to work around it or simply toss it out of the way. Any change, even a change for the better, is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts (Arnold Bennett). With the support of family and friends or even a networking community, there is always a solution.

I’m Just Sayin’…
I am a very private, prideful person… perhaps to a fault. Some say I`m just plain hard-headed. It`s just the way I have learned to live. Family and friends make suggestions, recommendations and even offer their assistance from time to time. Most times it`s appreciated, but I basically take it at face value. If and when the time comes and I opt to take them up on their offer and they in-turn say `but wait!` and come up with more excuses than I really need to listen to… it only re-affirms that I am better off keeping my business to myself and let faith and the nature of things simply run it`s course.
Friends and family…

Over time you meet all kinds of people on the internet. I believe it’s a true gift when you find someone to keep in touch with over the years especially when you have never met face-to-face. Perhaps the most contact you have is either thru text messages, IMs, e-mails or comments sent over “social-network” sites and (if you’re really connected) the occasional phone call. You share all kinds of thoughts, ideas and emotions whether it be trivial or important… family, life situations, relationships, work, just plain gossip. It’s all a matter of lending an ear, or even being a sounding board… no judgements are given (well, maybe just a suggestion or two). Unfortunately, internet friendships come and go. As with any relationship, it’s a question of strength and conviction.
I have a few internet-buds that I have been friends with for more than 10 years. Not to say they are less important, but I also have a couple people that I have met within the last couple of years that I try to keep in close contact with. I have come to regard these people as family… as they know more stuff about me than the average bear. We’re not in constant daily communication but we are connected enough… we know how to find each other when need be.
Today, I lost contact with someone whom I regarded as family… I’m puzzled and hurt… but I suppose that’s the way it goes.
Many people walk into your life… it’s the one’s that stick around that make it worth the ride.
