Hidden Message :-)

Nick Bollettieri said, “the recipe for happiness is an insatiable curiosity, a joy of discovery, quickness to forgive, holding no grudges, loving without condition, staying loyal to the death, seeing the best and ignoring the rest”.

What is a mistake? Do we all at one point or another make mistakes that we don’t want to consider mistakes or ones that we actually enjoy and cannot bring ourselves to admit that they are wrong? Do we often walk away from the path we had chosen because we have been enticed by the glamour and glitz out there even when we know no good will come out of it?
What’s that magic that drives us to the edge of madness where there are no mistakes because we are not in a position to acknowledge them? That place where no matter what, we are living for the moment and although the consequences will come with the dawn of a new day we are ready to face them? It’s a beautiful day indeed when one of the mornings fate decides to save us by changing the rules or simply giving us the strength to live with our mistakes. Coming to our sense is not always peaceful but we sigh with relief when the guilt is gone, when we have been saved and different cards have been dealt to us and this time we promise to obey the rules!
Games, games, games, everywhere we turn a spin on the game, everybody trying to get theirs…. Does it matter who’s way we stand in or who we step on to get to the top?.
Lies, facades, half truths, call it what you may, is it really necessary? If only we could live in our own cocoon and not have to deal with all these people around us that are not even genuine!
Hiding behind half closed doors and trying to peek out without being seen and the endless whispers that are just everywhere around like a buzzing insect that will simply not die!
What’s with maintaining the illusion? Can’t we just be who we are, no pretense and co exist peacefully no matter what the differences are? Or simply stay out of each others way if coexisting is not possible?
There are certain degrees of separation but at the end of the day most can be ignored if we don’t take things personally or give them more credit than is due to them!
Granted, certain people just rub us wrong, that is life but we have to learn to let such things go and move on to more important things!
Do we all wear masks at different points of our lives and are all those masks different depending on what it is we are hiding from or what we are hiding behind the mask?
There is something about anything that's framed that really cries out to me. The frame holds whatever is inside captive, do you wonder if at any time it wants to be free? But its kept in there for its own safe keeping, the frame supports and protects it because once its outside the frame, harm and damage can come to it. At least there’s a glass to see through?
Many days I am reminded that we all fall and we all have our days when we need an extended hand to help us get up, when the touch of another person expressing their good thoughts and the warmth from their hand to ours creates that magic that breaks the evil spell cast on us.
Best wishes for more warm days even with the beginning of fall, may we find that magic that makes our hearts glow and makes our smiles brighter and joy & love that cannot be described.
