352 LOVE AND STRENGTHS: COURAGE HUMILITY SELF-TRUST MUTUAL RESPECT AND MORE

LOVE
Provides the intersection
Whereby people choose to connect and nest, heart to heart

HUMILITY
Provides the yellow light
Whereby we review yesterday's mistakes and proceed with caution, today


COURAGE
Provides the green light
Which conveys our desire to look both ways before placing the pedal to the metal


SELF TRUST
Provides the freeway
Where love, courage and humility heal wounds by placing defensiveness aside

MUTUAL RESPECT
Provides rest stops
Where we reconnect, reconsider, apologize, offer forgiveness for past indiscretions

LASTING FRIENDSHIP
Provides the salve that soothes festering resentment
While healing takes place, all around

TIME
 Provides moments in which to reflect and replenish generosity of spirit
And thus do hearts heal from old wounds, layer by layer—for real!


NEGATIVE ATTITUDES
Provides the red light
Suggesting time to brake, look, listen, grow mindfully aware or crash and collide

POSITIVE ATTITUDES
Provide a safe haven where defensiveness relaxes
So differences, misunderstandings and conflicts may resolve, peaceably, all around

TIME OUT
Provides frustration a place to calm down

LISTENING SKILLS
Provide the mind with the ability to clarify and straighten out misunderstandings
Which spiral off track


MY BLOG
Provides a likely place
Voice my beliefs, share my views and toss questions into cyberspace

YOUR COMMENT BOX
Provides a likely place
To field questions, voice your beliefs and expand my view with yours

HOPEFUL PATIENCE
Provides a vehicle whereby our minds hop onto open highways
Where conversations are encouraged to flow, freely, back and forth!

Though I aim to nourish thoughts concerning positively focused strengths ...
I must admit that chicken soup didn't do the trick
So as New Year's Day is here, I'll switch to bean and barley

And in hopes that that change may serve me well ...
Wish me luck!
JAnnie
