My Mother's Day Revelation...
by sitkarains at 5/12/2008 1:20:20 PM

As I sat out on the water yesterday, I had time to think, what a wonderful thing being alone with just your thoughts and a dog. I spent time reflecting on what really mattered to me. The following is one thing I would like to share with my friends.
Does it really matter what people think of you. When you know you are loved? How easy it is to jump to defend yourself when actually no defense is needed. Since each and every one of us (Can't walk on water unless it is frozen). People come in all walks of life, with all types of belief system, their own code of behavior, that is one of the things that makes this world such an interesting place to live. . So does it really matter what others think of you. Virtual Strangers, People you see in a grocery store. Or for that matter where ever. No it doesn't since everyone will form their own opinion for themselves. What matters is the love you have from friends and family, co-workers, etc

This is something I came up with, those that seek the admiration of all, will loose it all. Those that keep their hearts and mind clear will gain what is important to them. I am choosing to go with the latter. I am content. Amazing what a day on the water can do. So my dear friends out here and you all know who you are, thank you so much for keeping me strong, and for keeping me humble, encouraging me to continualy grow. As I continue down the path of life, hopefully I will continue to grow. I also hope and pray when it is all done and over with. My Lord will say to me. “Well done thy Servant.

I am also going to say how much I enjoyed all the warm Mother's Day wishes from friends.They meant the world to me. More than you can ever know.

I want to close with this quote. I think this sums up my Mother's Day Revelation pretty well.


For those who understand me, no explanation is needed. For those who don't understand, no explanation will suffice!

Well said my friend.Isn't it a great feeling when we realize that the only one we truly have have to be happy with is ourselves.When we stop trying to appease others,it gives us greater strength and control over our own lives,and who we truly are. 'After a while you learn....... and you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open with the grace of woman, not the grief of a child. And you learn......'

Hey FRIEND,as I was reading your blog I was takink notes like i always do.I must say,you came back at the bottom and said everything that I had wrote donw to share with you.As I read Wileyguy coomnts he summed it up even more for me.One thing that I must add to it how ever.If you do good,people will talk about you,if you do bad,people will talk about you,I find that you can't please everone and leave yourself out in the middle of the road to get run over by some mad individual that's having a bad day.I love you,and the only person that you have to answer too is God and not man/woman.

Isn't it amazing how sitting out on the bow, watching the sunset turn in to a star fest, can bring about tranquiliy in the soul. Rains, your true friends will never demand a thing from you. No explanations and no tribulations. They won't use you as a pick to further their own egos. Time will show you the way to true friendship. True friendships last through eternity. Your truw friend will alwyas stand by you through thick or thin. You are truely an amazing person. Peace be with you.

Excellent observations. I have believed for a long time that the people on DH cannot change my positive characterstics, nor can they bring me down with negative attitudes. That would adversely affect me. I choose my friends because they have positive qualities that I relate to, or wish to emulate. Love the quote at the end! ~smiles~

A very nice read..if you don't love yourself no matter what others say, then you are not being true to yourself. I believe you only get one life to live, I know it sounds corny but why are we here. I want to leave my mark somehow..

I’m Sorry I missed your blog Rains my friend. What I read was a sumptuous reflection; one I can relate to word for word. When we wrangle we are really projecting our inability and lack of self-control. I came to realize it takes many years to appreciate and sadly some never do, but you have a beautiful caring nature- one that was meant to be recognized- loved. If we mere mortals… your friends do… then God must surely do too. Love always recognizes the same… And this is why you touch people… includes me.
