Late Night Reflections

There is a peace that comes with being alone, but only if you are comfortable in your own skin.

There is joy in the love of friends, but only if you know who your friends are.

There is beauty everywhere in this world, but only if you take the time to seek it.

There is knowledge that comes from inner reflection, but only if you are willing to listen.

There is satisfaction in a job well done, but only if your heart was in it.

There is relief in letting go of regret, but only if you really mean it.

There is a lesson in every mistake, but only if you are humble enough to admit that you made one.

There is hope in that helping hand, but only if you are willing to grab it.

There is love around for each one of us, but only if you are able to realize you deserve it.




Okay, It's after midnight and I'm really tired, in fact so tired, that it's taken me a few minutes to type just this sentence because I keep transposing letters. Anyways, I just felt like writing, I've been very reflective the last couple of days, not sure why, but I just felt like dragging the rest of you along with me.

You can hit me with a club and drag me into your cave anytime B.B. :)

I love the one about admitting mistakes. When I was younger, I used to go out of my way to cover up or not admit my screw-ups. Now I find it very liberating to look people in the eye and tell them I was wrong. They almost don't know how to take it. I've also found that being full of shit won't take you very far in the biker community. Respect is the #1 thing, and you don't get that by lying. You do get it by owning up to being human.

Goodness gracious you have been "deep" lately! Nice reflections...gives you some things to think about.

Motor-head Lady said...

Wow B.B. thanks for sharing that!
I learned many of those very things over the years, mostly because "Life" forced me to after I was in a very bad car accident.
And, Joker, you are so right about the admitting when you are wrong thing, I'm that way too.
Life is so much fuller when you can just cut the crap and be yourself.

Good stuff BB. It's good to reflect as long as you keep remembering how great the person looking back at you is and how much those reading your words respect and care about you.

Sometimes seems life runs in a straight line. I just can't seem to run the same line. So I am glad for the hands and the friends that wield them.

This drag was a good one, even if I am late in catching up!
