If not, I'll bring the bourbon.
Time for a nice break on that sandy beach I'm thinking.

I usually avoid conflict like mad.
As I get older, I'm a little less risk-averse...
I have always wanted peace above all else.
Sometimes now I speak past that want.
It's not always worth it.
Sometimes it feels okay.
I'm noticing I don't feel as attached to the outcome
as I used to be.
I don't have to be right.
But sometimes I'm going to speak at the risk of being wrong.
I'm not quite as afraid of disapproval or rejection...I think
because I have walked some serious miles with myself, so I know
I can walk some more.
I finished my two years as worship associate...said farewell at a meeting
last night. I was moved by that experience, I think I confronted a lot
of Nspots within myself and at the same time uncovered some grace
I didn't know I had.
I got to be whoever I was. I just did it.
I think that's still sinking in...
thanks Peace, and Mud...can I have one?
I lived in Kaintuck once...
back to Tony Soprano,

I hear you Hops - and appreciate everything you post.
I am tired of contention, so very tired of it. I know, my trigger - I need to work on it. But I see so much going on over there that doesn’t have to be.
I care for everyone involved, and it saddens me to see the course of that thread.
I got to be whoever I was. I just did it.
I think that's still sinking in...
That sounds so wonderful and I am so happy for you.
Still working on it over here - but hoping to be where you are someday – where I can speak my mind without fear.
Much love,
Peace

Hey Mudpuppy - you have a batch of those mint juleps whipped up?
I'm thinkin' we'll need a couple of oak casks full to drown things out. :roll:

I'll skip the booze and just watch the horses (and maybe take a little bet on them). Love you all.

Hey Mud - thank you - you made me smile :D (I do that often with your posts - thank you.)
Beth - I am sorry for the reference to alcohol (so very sorry if that was offensive). We can have mint juleps sans the bourbon (kind of scary that - maybe some water?). But I am with you on the horses - may make a little bet myself!
Love to you all as well - now I am taking a break,
Peace

No offense taken, ever. That's my life, my deal. I am happy for others to live as they like!!!!! Next thing I know you won't let me bet on the horses!! Hee hee. It takes a lot to offend me...
Have a super weekend and warm thoughts from me.
Love, Beth
