Choices and Life....

We all make choices in life, some good some not, some informed, some blind. We have to live with the consequences of these choices and sometimes that is a good thing that we benefit from and sometimes it is not.
I believe in following your gut intuition. I really do, I believe that our inner workings have all the answers, we just have to be in tune and listen to what is going on in there. Some think that seems stupid, but I don't care. It is my belief, and I stand by it.
I also firmly believe in treating people how you wish to be treated. I am very affectionate, caring, and giving of myself and my attention. I want that in other people for myself. I want to be surrounded by people that are like minded. I want people that are caring, giving, and affectionate. If I am with someone and I have the urge to hug them, kiss them, or hold their hand, I am going to. I have no issue with public displays of affection. I mean, I am not talking groping in the mall here...but just sweet signals that say something to the other person. I am a very attentive person, with my friends, family, the kids I work with. I guess I just assume that everyone is like this too, but I have learned that is not the case.
I believe in loving out loud. If you like someone, tell them, if you love them, SHOW THEM OFTEN. Everyone wants to feel loved, and everyone needs to feel wanted. Show the people in your life what they mean to you, and they will follow suit.
Now, these things are not definites. There are those that will not give back to you regardless of what you give to them. They simply cannot. They do not possess it inside themselves. But soo many do. These precious people should be treasured in your life. Let them know they are special. Nurture those relationships, and an incredible garden of love, kindness and support will bloom.
Of course, these things are all just my opinions, and what I hope to find true in my life....I do still believe in fairy tales...and I truly believe in living happily ever after.
