I want to talk about Valentine's Day, and my thoughts on it. Touted as "the day of love and romance" by many in the modern world, it's a day that is stereotypical for women being spoiled by their partners, proposed to, and basically a day men are socially obligated to be romantic.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgG2zJEqOjQm1p5P_QGG55bSLN22TZ7pD1mI1worXj25SsjKRglQWp1elSSA3tYcnDJiIr4m2aEvoMBv40Jq_hzjF52Ul8-YEOlzL4P4b6JRLVi4jyd5AdjRzd1up8bPFpwjpWYa6tCmg18lt_kCVeQnSXymy8JK0WKL_XUq-tou883SJZE2BvYTOgI1A=s500" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="206" data-original-width="500" height="165" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgG2zJEqOjQm1p5P_QGG55bSLN22TZ7pD1mI1worXj25SsjKRglQWp1elSSA3tYcnDJiIr4m2aEvoMBv40Jq_hzjF52Ul8-YEOlzL4P4b6JRLVi4jyd5AdjRzd1up8bPFpwjpWYa6tCmg18lt_kCVeQnSXymy8JK0WKL_XUq-tou883SJZE2BvYTOgI1A=w400-h165" width="400" /></a></div><p>Where did this random "holiday" begin, though? Knowing the roots of something is important for actually understanding what it is we are doing, and why. Did you know it's likely based on a Catholic saint? The History Channel website did a fantastic article on it, and while you can <a href="https://www.history.com/topics/valentines-day/history-of-valentines-day-2" target="_blank">read the whole thing here</a>, I'm going to sum it up real quick.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjoR9lYS1GATZd5BQb3_ZmRzTvo09b91JI_vJAY1vI0Pet5fyo1NptkOGowV0ij8BoqSuS6GxMjFHNPCxAEqQBeZCnHzkiC5udCjwiLCTlqOvhlts5V2OYc0oqrZQy5mKZw2V6uJRvPbNgBqk6rFvn7n_1q6YMiXwc1JWwgl0QcJwR4H4BTkxBCriR9SA=s500" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="227" data-original-width="500" height="181" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjoR9lYS1GATZd5BQb3_ZmRzTvo09b91JI_vJAY1vI0Pet5fyo1NptkOGowV0ij8BoqSuS6GxMjFHNPCxAEqQBeZCnHzkiC5udCjwiLCTlqOvhlts5V2OYc0oqrZQy5mKZw2V6uJRvPbNgBqk6rFvn7n_1q6YMiXwc1JWwgl0QcJwR4H4BTkxBCriR9SA=w400-h181" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><blockquote><span style="color: #073763;">"The Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred. One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine’s actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death. Still others insist that it was Saint Valentine of Terni, a bishop, who was the true namesake of the holiday. He, too, was beheaded by Claudius II outside Rome."</span></blockquote><p></p><p>So, maybe it was a Catholic bishop that we remember for his sacrifice and dedication to love. Or, maybe it is yet another pagan tradition the Catholic Church cross-washed and adapted. The theory on that is slightly morbid, so if you're squeamish about blood, you may want to skip the next couple of paragraphs.</p><p></p><blockquote><p><span style="color: #073763;">"While some believe that Valentine’s Day is celebrated in the middle of February to commemorate the anniversary of Valentine’s death or burial—which probably occurred around A.D. 270—others claim that the Christian church may have decided to place St. Valentine’s feast day in the middle of February in an effort to “Christianize” the pagan celebration of Lupercalia. Celebrated at the ides of February, or February 15, Lupercalia was a fertility festival dedicated to Faunus, the Roman god of agriculture, as well as to the Roman founders Romulus and Remus.</span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;">To begin the festival, members of the Luperci, an order of Roman priests, would gather at a sacred cave where the infants Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome, were believed to have been cared for by a she-wolf or lupa. The priests would sacrifice a goat, for fertility, and a dog, for purification. They would then strip the goat’s hide into strips, dip them into the sacrificial blood and take to the streets, gently slapping both women and crop fields with the goat hide. Far from being fearful, Roman women welcomed the touch of the hides because it was believed to make them more fertile in the coming year. Later in the day, according to legend, all the young women in the city would place their names in a big urn. The city’s bachelors would each choose a name and become paired for the year with his chosen woman. These matches often ended in marriage.</span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;">Lupercalia survived the initial rise of Christianity but was outlawed—as it was deemed “un-Christian”—at the end of the 5th century, when Pope Gelasius declared February 14 St. Valentine’s Day. It was not until much later, however, that the day became definitively associated with love. During the Middle Ages, it was commonly believed in France and England that February 14 was the beginning of birds’ mating season, which added to the idea that the middle of Valentine’s Day should be a day for romance. The English poet Geoffrey Chaucer was the first to record St. Valentine’s Day as a day of romantic celebration in his 1375 poem “Parliament of Foules,” writing, ““For this was sent on Seynt Valentyne’s day / Whan every foul cometh ther to choose his mate.”"</span></p></blockquote><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhiQbLusBnGu_jsFO9BEd6cCF1tyMpPvpgTONsLi283QiQTuqqDhX3xOsWV9eWz5E6y9LXqcWcx9svVn185_5oQb3TIdSkUu9-cAmkOOnMHYODUz5otHEFM2ptastkuBr5keEwyL-Tdr-N_JM0AuBEY65DEwGo8Ksgfubdbl2OmN1WgZqXIdFQeaMOArw=s500" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="213" data-original-width="500" height="170" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhiQbLusBnGu_jsFO9BEd6cCF1tyMpPvpgTONsLi283QiQTuqqDhX3xOsWV9eWz5E6y9LXqcWcx9svVn185_5oQb3TIdSkUu9-cAmkOOnMHYODUz5otHEFM2ptastkuBr5keEwyL-Tdr-N_JM0AuBEY65DEwGo8Ksgfubdbl2OmN1WgZqXIdFQeaMOArw=w400-h170" width="400" /></a></div><p>Whichever is the true root of Valentine's day, it is clear the traditions are steeped in love and fertility. Being at the beginning of spring, it's a natural time for warming up and getting cozy with a loved one. Thanks to the juggernaut that is American commercialization and marketing, it's far more about men spoiling their women with gifts, flowers, chocolates, and favors to prove their devotion and love. If a man doesn't submit to this cultural expectation, he is often seen as unloving, and as time goes on, more and more women are being expected to reciprocate. For many, it is an important day in expressing feelings, and they take it very seriously.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhynxCDyKSV_mEI1BlhboGyxG9551kiFB3Wo9F9UWTd-6hfgb8Mfz9cc78seHahjq_EjKwhpBgfZjrrusn2AFNgWg1Gsd5aHAgpo858eZAM808VL8Til21rEnBQtqI5ZZmjN5KuhqFJjC0hURZW-ScAc-X5rGPRqEQp55e6odcQDHWeeeecnkjyOjgAXA=s245" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="245" data-original-width="245" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhynxCDyKSV_mEI1BlhboGyxG9551kiFB3Wo9F9UWTd-6hfgb8Mfz9cc78seHahjq_EjKwhpBgfZjrrusn2AFNgWg1Gsd5aHAgpo858eZAM808VL8Til21rEnBQtqI5ZZmjN5KuhqFJjC0hURZW-ScAc-X5rGPRqEQp55e6odcQDHWeeeecnkjyOjgAXA=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><p>Has this day become so superficial that it's lost the original intent of honoring true love? There is an argument to be said about it allowing couples to be lazy about their relationship. Gifts are given at Christmas, and many complain that they get no attention until the middle of February when it's "time" for romance and love. Shouldn't we be celebrating our love all year round? </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgUzqODOSWEmCom7G5YMoQZr2zYMdyPOkmO6lTTo_AqPtTF7AoYPGJPG3bxwVADli1JmyJ1EnLKMdx6cvn65fJ3rPapPbNiPaH5OA6fU-gFVGE4i6QJ4WK-IV_b5SHUD-7HmfkYE3v8Ii4wrkZ8G8Ofv6vfGc2ciUhlzaepHRd4bJi5e8MXD4ljZhRwWA=s500" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="282" data-original-width="500" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgUzqODOSWEmCom7G5YMoQZr2zYMdyPOkmO6lTTo_AqPtTF7AoYPGJPG3bxwVADli1JmyJ1EnLKMdx6cvn65fJ3rPapPbNiPaH5OA6fU-gFVGE4i6QJ4WK-IV_b5SHUD-7HmfkYE3v8Ii4wrkZ8G8Ofv6vfGc2ciUhlzaepHRd4bJi5e8MXD4ljZhRwWA=w400-h225" width="400" /></a></div><p>On the other hand, isn't it wonderful there is a day dedicated to nothing but love? It's simplified the desire to show the one you love that you do, and often material items can be given easier than at other times of the year. Having a day just for love gives couples a wonderful addition to their personal days of celebration, which for many can end up being helpful during cold months in the northern hemisphere. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhdXneeDpEECdNWiexECWNypBm5GZc4ULrrFlAM86Q_2VAi9DbCRWQW1Z9t-Mngqp-QfgQxxGbU3MdNVcIjEQnwKBY5jYMEBkZohkRYSNW9lSzsqlRf3Il5VpreHefGgiJUq2SdKC8tZNSNb2zJgjBlxQekPA3-pjUK5ozq7bMTf8Pak2FguEzRicgFqg=s245" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="138" data-original-width="245" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhdXneeDpEECdNWiexECWNypBm5GZc4ULrrFlAM86Q_2VAi9DbCRWQW1Z9t-Mngqp-QfgQxxGbU3MdNVcIjEQnwKBY5jYMEBkZohkRYSNW9lSzsqlRf3Il5VpreHefGgiJUq2SdKC8tZNSNb2zJgjBlxQekPA3-pjUK5ozq7bMTf8Pak2FguEzRicgFqg=w400-h225" width="400" /></a></div><p>On the other other hand, it can be ridiculously depressing for people fresh off a breakup, recently widowed/widowered, or perpetually single to see so much love everywhere. The suicide rates in areas with large celebrations this time of year goes up quite a bit, as well as ER visits and mental hospital patients checking in. When you're dealing with pain associated with love, it can be difficult to see so much happiness, and make it more difficult than normal to heal and move on. Many become hermits for weeks in the beginning of February and trudge through the days waiting for it to be over.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgJNDq21_NcFQsR3LSJH8kozwAa5SBrutU9yH8BG8OkuaZ6_7N_2btHSPMZVqM4UetDwXMktuhEJfTaInE6HSLiQmtZPwt_aySSkDpHJO9qI7ymw_RisRYoFXAxmCQzGKfzVicXq3FhzgCgQhplEvLG3p5UzCLBnKYXS9nhNMNhRw1_rQCvoaHZrX2kgw=s500" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="213" data-original-width="500" height="170" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgJNDq21_NcFQsR3LSJH8kozwAa5SBrutU9yH8BG8OkuaZ6_7N_2btHSPMZVqM4UetDwXMktuhEJfTaInE6HSLiQmtZPwt_aySSkDpHJO9qI7ymw_RisRYoFXAxmCQzGKfzVicXq3FhzgCgQhplEvLG3p5UzCLBnKYXS9nhNMNhRw1_rQCvoaHZrX2kgw=w400-h170" width="400" /></a></div><p>Whichever side you stand on the Valentine's celebration, chances are it has shifted with time and likely will again. With this day of love and romance, remember you're blessed if you have someone to celebrate with, and it isn't about the gifts. Love is the reason, always be grateful. If you're hurting, please hang in there, it *does* get better. Reach out if you need comfort, and don't let the pain get to be too much. Love isn't just romance, and someone out there cares about you. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhZGcGH4HP9vzX9PZ7tTm_lppfvnuFotmADYdBDky9nVFqJYZiqZGS0AqqEacqmHXWEUi-au5DWwrowRzNQETDe2EpNtv37CL6adTngg4qBi4ifoZJGetMTiLyG_wjJCS18EXJZS737KDm8UVapNBO4-BxKheTBDavbTUxcZ_lriTL4WwDax6lVIemB5A=s378" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="351" data-original-width="378" height="371" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhZGcGH4HP9vzX9PZ7tTm_lppfvnuFotmADYdBDky9nVFqJYZiqZGS0AqqEacqmHXWEUi-au5DWwrowRzNQETDe2EpNtv37CL6adTngg4qBi4ifoZJGetMTiLyG_wjJCS18EXJZS737KDm8UVapNBO4-BxKheTBDavbTUxcZ_lriTL4WwDax6lVIemB5A=w400-h371" width="400" /></a></div><p>Wishing anyone who reads this a Happy Valentine's Day, and lots of love.

I didn't write any blog posts here in 2019. Not one.<br />
<br />
Last year was so busy, I just spaced this blog completely. I thought about it on and off, but didn't make the time for it. Kinda miss this blog tbh.<br />
<br />
See, I've spent so much time with the pet shop, any spare time I get I spend writing books. Blogging got pushed to the back-burner and hasn't really been pulled forward again.<br />
<br />
I don't know if it will this year. I'd like to say it will, because in this moment as I write this, I have the desire to revive this blog and get back into it. I find therapy in writing and while writing books is awesome for that, it would be cool to write my personal stuff again too.<br />
<br />
This post is mainly me remembering what it felt like to write for no other reason that for me. Feels really good.Fluttering Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04237885469030625762noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687234731952177876.post-45527166318384475932018-09-06T12:00:00.000-06:002018-09-06T12:00:06.598-06:00Off Days SuckOff days suck, they really do. I don't mean days off - those can be great. I mean days where everything is just...off. You feel half a step (or a full step) out of sync with everything, and feel as though you keep tripping over your day. You want a re-start, so you can wake up in step with the day to come, and not feel beat up just for existing.<br />

I had an off day yesterday, and it was awful. The little things like random stuff breaking, falling, actually tripping, and losing things that were right in front of me, tend to build up. They build up because I'm off inside. I'm unbalanced, and so my world becomes unbalanced.<br />
<br />

The most difficult part, for me, about having a day like this, is stopping everything, and realizing it's me that's the issue. It's easy and tempting to blame everything else, especially when there are bigger things that end up being off as a result. That doesn't actually fix anything though, because the things happening around me when I'm unbalanced are simply side effects of the real issue, and fixing them won't make me balanced.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I tend to want to fix those little issues, and when I can't (because they aren't actually the issue) it becomes taxing. So, last night, after a full day of letting myself get beat up because I was unbalanced, I finally stopped, and refocused. I prayed, cleared out all the internal muck, and actually slept decently for the first time this week.<br />

Today I can tell things <i>want</i> to be off balance, because the residual energy from me yesterday is still lingering around. I'm more balanced today though, and have a completely different energy, and it's fixing things around me. While I adore being able to fix me, and have that end up as a positive result around me, I still hate off days. It takes far longer to re-balance myself after having a funky day like yesterday, than it took to get in the funk in the first place.<br />

What are some things you do in order to get re-balanced, and fix a funky off day? I'm always curious to hear how others handle things like that, so drop a comment and let me know! Maybe I can keep the funk from returning any time soon.<br />

Omg, I'm soooo thrilled it's finally September. I'm one of those weirdos who doesn't like Summer, at all. I hate being hot, I hate sweating, I burn super easily on my stupidly-sensitive uber-fair skin, and it sucks. I'll be lobster-red after 5 minutes in the sun, and if I don't freckle after I burn, it's amazing.<br />

I'm a Winter girl, and Autumn is akin to Spring for me. Everything is finally cooling down, there are more clouds to protect me from the sun, and more rain which I absolutely adore. I can wear jackets and jeans again, have my hair down without passing out, and wear my super cute boots. So basically, September hits, and my mood skyrockets automatically.</div>

This past Summer has been particularly difficult, and it's my own stupid fault. Since I was cooped up inside (hiding from the sun) with no working laptop for most of the Summer (thanks to technologies' hatred for me), and too much pain to sit at my pc for very long (thanks endo), I often had my phone to entertain me. What did I do? I joined a bunch of groups on FB. </div>

My logic: I'd love to connect with more people, and since this dinky little town has very few hobby groups I'm interested in, maybe I'll spend this Summer branching out more online, and try getting used to being social on social media! I mean, that's what it's for, right? Right??</div>

So, there we go. I'm going into September in a better mood because of the season change, and changing my mental outlook. I'm fixing my laptop, getting back to blogging and writing, and giving up a bit on being as active on "social" media.</div>

I can't wait for the cooler weather, so I can kick my hobbies back into gear. I basically hibernate during the Summer instead of Winter, and now it's coming up on my time to be active and have fun. God's been leading me to do quite a bit lately, and I'm anxious to get started.</div>

So, if you haven't noticed, I took a couple weeks off from blogging. The posts in April zapped my brain, and I've loved recharging over the last few weeks. That, and my animal rescues and biz/store are going nuts.</div>

For those who don't know, I run a guinea pig rescue/cavie family growth program, Rosie's Guinea Pig Oasis, as well as a small-pets rescue. I've taken in quite a few furry little critters lately, and I love it! I also co-run <a href="http://desertratexotics.weebly.com/">Desert Rat Exotics</a>, where we rescue reptiles and exotic pets, in conjunction with Rosie's Guinea Pig Oasis. It's a lot of work, but it's awesome.</div>

We're growing everything up and getting our spaces more organized, so caring for the animals doesn't take up quite so much of our time. That's my biggest priority at the moment though, aside from <a href="http://rozewallin.wordpress.com/">writing</a> and my blogs.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
No one enjoys being judged - I'm sure you don't. The only way to stop judging from being an accepted norm, is to stop ourselves from judging, and show others it can be done. It'll ripple from there, and before you know it, judging could become odd.</div>

Now, there is a difference between judging and honestly trying to help someone. Asking a chain-smoker if you can help them try to quit isn't judging. Rolling your eyes every time they pull one out, scoffing, or making sarcastic comments is judging.</div>

This lesson does come with a good dose of respect, as well. If you act in love and offer to help, and they say no, part of not judging someone is respecting their decisions. They are human, and they have the right to make their own choices, and we need to respect others just as much as we need to stop judging them.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
As humans, we were made with a bunch of different emotions. Bottling any of them up is dangerous, and not healthy. So feel them.</div>

That doesn't mean feel anger and react in rage. It also doesn't mean feel happy and go on a crazy, singing rampage.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've got another lesson for you today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't envy someone else's lawn - just water your own.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
If you haven't learned this one yet, you need to take it to heart, because it's true, and one of the most important lessons I've come across so far.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Envy is lethal. Jealousy is cancer. It isn't healthy, at all. It will eat you from the inside out, until there's nothing left but a nasty, rotting mess.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No one wants that, so instead, quit while you're ahead. Quit wishing you had something someone else has. Quit being upset because you don't have something you want. Quit - just quit it. Give it up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you spent as much energy working on your own life as you did wishing you had someone else's, you'd probably already be there. You don't need to wish you had someone's life, you can have it yourself! Just put your energy into your own stuff, and ignore the rest.</div>

Don't wish you had something else, otherwise you'll lose what you do have, while getting no where.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a lose lose situation to envy, so instead, just enjoy what you have, and work hard for what you want.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

If you've seen Bambi, you know this one well. My parents said this phrase all the time when I was growing up, and it definitely stuck.</div>

This is especially important once you're an adult, and you don't have someone to tell you "hey, that wasn't nice, go apologize" when we mess up. We have to do it ourselves, and eventually, you'll learn that there will be far fewer hurt feelings and sessions of apologies if you simply keep negative things to yourself. Who wants to put negativity out in the world, anyway?</div>

This one is just as important. A lot of times, especially when we are emotional, things just slip out. If this is a hurtful thing to someone else, we usually end up regretting it later.</div>

There are people who just say whatever comes to their minds, and they have no filter. This can be beneficial if you're looking for someone who's honest, but it can also be really bad - sometimes things are delicate, and a friend's feelings will get hurt by just blurting something out without thinking.</div>

I'm back today with another birthday lesson.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Always look at the stars.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This one is a lot like "stop and smell the roses" but a little differently, at least to me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The problem with the roses saying, is the fact there may not always be roses around to smell. You have to go out of your way to find them, much like the positives going on in your life. It can be difficult to find them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Looking at stars is something you can do, literally every single night. You don't have to find them - they are always there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We all have positives in our lives that are constant. We can find them, and we can focus on them. And we should.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To me, the lesson of always looking at the stars is metaphorical as well as literal. I love going outside and appreciating the stars, and without fail, it always inspires me to remember the constant positives in my life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />

The stars have seen me through every dark time in my life, and pulled me out of some pretty impressive funks. They can for anyone, if you let them.</div>

You're a part of your family, whether you like it or not. Whatever is going on, give them a break. Unless you're in Hitler's family, you can always show compassion. That doesn't always mean being okay with destructive or dangerous behavior, but for the most part, we can chill out, and just let people be people. Even our families.</div>

Hiya dudes! Hallo! Hola! Bonjour!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today's lesson is to <b>Try New Things!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7ZHxAVlWdvyUZuAeCKMr1rn4UqSMwVp8sNTwjwK51Q_8Ek-qt02rPRESPdQsVcsO6V0wO5EZk1eRuKsnfNjtdpinHp34xAuWUPsO7CVNlcqi1XDTeMeDbGxC_kS_60ri04sNsIplhYMLJ/s1600/be+open+to+new+things.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="692" data-original-width="750" height="368" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7ZHxAVlWdvyUZuAeCKMr1rn4UqSMwVp8sNTwjwK51Q_8Ek-qt02rPRESPdQsVcsO6V0wO5EZk1eRuKsnfNjtdpinHp34xAuWUPsO7CVNlcqi1XDTeMeDbGxC_kS_60ri04sNsIplhYMLJ/s400/be+open+to+new+things.gif" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For me, this always makes me think of languages, and food. I love learning new languages, and while I haven't practiced much in this area lately, it's something I want to get back into. I've studied Latin, Greek, German, French, Spanish, ASL, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Russian. A life goal of mine, is to be fluent in as many languages as possible.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another thing I love to try, is food. I'm a complete chicken, and make the most ridiculous faces you've ever seen, but I do it! I've even found some things I love, that I never would have found without trying new things.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Go places, explore new things, and try new things. You'll find amazing discoveries about not only other cultures, ways of living, and the world, but yourself as well.</div>

I've got a great lesson today, and I hope it's one you've heard before.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Keep Moving Forward.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Three simple words, but incredibly powerful when put into motion. Anyone who's trapped in the past, stuck in a rut, or feel as though all the momentum in their life has run out - this message is definitely for you. It's never too late, to difficult, or negative, to keep moving forward.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Looking behind you will never do any good. Being stuck in the past will keep your life basically in pause mode - nothing will happen, because you'll miss it! If you're too busy looking behind you, how will you see opportunities (or road blocks) in your path? </div>

Another way to see it is like this: life is a vehicle, and you're driving. You can't go anywhere new, if you don't drive. You can keep going in reverse, paying attention to where you've already been, but what's the point? It's past. You have to look ahead of you, to keep going.</div>

If you're in a rut, the same metaphor applies: you can't get out of that rut, unless you move forward. Even to get onto a new path, you have to move forward to get out of the rut you're in.</div>

No matter where you're at in life, you can and should always keep moving forward. This doesn't mean move away from your current life, or constantly change everything, it just means keep going. Don't stop. Life is motion - it's meant to be lived, and that takes movement. Even if you have to turn some things around, it will still be forward motion - progress. Just move.</div>

Part of balancing your life though, is knowing when to take a break. Knowing when you’ve reached a point in the journey of achieving your goal, when you need to take a break, and rest.</div>

In a lot of ways, people are like batteries. We expel energy to accomplish tasks, and the more energy we out out, the faster we have to recharge. It’s an important step, and just like a phone battery, if you don’t recharge it soon enough, it’ll die.</div>

I love this series of posts. It’s been a lot of fun, and I’m going to continue them. I lived today’s lesson this past weekend though, and gave myself a break, to rest. There was too much to do, so I prioritized, and gave myself a break, so I didn’t get burned out completely.</div>

This one is probably one of the trickiest lessons I've learned, mainly because it generally requires more than just yourself. You need money, transportation, and for most people, a general idea of where they're going. It can be a bit difficult to get out and about, if you feel stuck.</div>

Still, what I've found over the years, is you can travel anywhere, even in your own backyard. There are always new things to learn and see, and generally, you can always find something awesome.</div>

The whole point of traveling isn't to say you went somewhere, anyway. It's meant to be an adventure - a way to see something new, take you out of your comfort zone, and help you grow. Even exploring your own town or city more can be traveling, especially if you live in a well-populated place. </div>

No matter where you go, there is always something new to see. Explore the state parks/local monuments, old towns, places you haven't been yet. If you're able to, take trips! Book a plane trip to somewhere you've always wanted to go, and just go! Have fun! </div>

The world is meant to be explored, one way or another. It's our playground, and if you just sit cooped up in the same place all the time, you'll feel like life is dull and small, because that's all you're allowing your life to be.</div>

It doesn't matter if you took a fantastic trip ten years ago - don't ever stop exploring. Visit a new restaurant, or a park you never stop at, or even drive around that neighborhood you've always heard about, but never seen.</div>

I'm sure you've heard something along the lines of "trust your gut" at some point. This is basically that lesson, and one I rely on heavily. </div>

I always try to follow my instincts, and my intuition has never, ever led me astray. I rely on The Holy Spirit to guide my intuition and shape my instincts, and He does, without fail. If I ignore my gut, I always regret it, every time.</div>

If there's something your gut is telling you is wrong, it probably is. There are always exceptions, and there's always the chance what you're feeling isn't actually your intuition/gut/instincts. It takes practice to know if it's legit, but once you do, it's a compass you can rely on.</div>

Maybe someone is trying to be friends with you, but you get a weird feeling about them - something's just <i>off</i>. Trust that. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe you feel like you need to take a job that seems worse, but you feel better about - trust that, the other job probably has something going on you can't see from where you're at. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe the person you're dating is comfortable, but you don't really want to make it a forever kind of relationship, even though you feel the pressure to move forward - trust your gut. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe you want to date around, but your gut says wait for the right person, dating around would mess that up - trust it, you'll thank yourself later.</div>

Whatever the situation is, if it feels wrong to do or go where you're facing, then walk away. On the flip side of that coin, if it feels like you need to do something, do it. If you're feeling led to call your aunt you barely know, do it. If you're feeling like you really need to go to the store right then, go. You never know what you're supposed to effect, but the universe/God/something needs you to listen, and follow your gut.</div>

There are always situations where this isn't black and white, and there are other factors to consider. Still, most of the time, when it comes right down to it, your gut is probably already telling you where to go - your compass already knows, you just need to listen.</div>
