Jack Ingram writes a song called Love You. He talks about a four letter word. I am almost positive the word that the word that he uses is supposed to be a different word. So seeing that I am not sleeping again I am going to relate a story that is similar to the song...but the details will be a bit fuzzy and flawed.
I was in a deep conversation with a good friend of mine. We were talking about how using harsh words is required and perfect for certain occasions, such as the first time Dwayne Speaks in the movie little miss sunshine. Other such situations may occur in your life where things get flipped upside down and then for a brief moment 8 months later you begin to feel normal and then you get rocked even harder. Yelling "love" as loud as you can just does not do the situation justice. In this deep conversation my friend asked me not to use a certain four letter word. In the moment of the conversation I said sometimes when I talk, I do not think, and sometimes when I do not think I just do not have the vocabulary word to figure out which "L" word I want to say.
Since this is my late night, can't sleep thoughts released blog I can honestly say it was one of the most embarrassing things I could say, let along not get a response, and even more embarrassing is putting it out on my blog months after the fact.
And today more and more when my reality changes I have moments where I need to spit things out!
So thank you Jack Ingram and lack of sleep...to everyone else Love you!

Ramping up to V-day
Allow me a few more seconds. The difference in one second and a moment is everyone, everyday every instant there is a second. But a moment is an instant that stays forever. The amount of moments that we have had in this journey are abundant and beyond lasting. And Moments are those instants that you come back to and they will stir up emotions that put your mind frame in that place in your heart that lets you sit back and smile. Not one of those fake smiles we will be doing in front of the camera soon, but one of those smiles that you cannot wipe off your face, the one that brightens others days because it beams so bright. I have two charges for you. Go out and not only live many moments but create moments for your patients. Let them smile again and bring light to their world. Every second that passes you should all know that you can be better than the b
est, don’t settle for being the tallest of the seven dwarfs.

Whose Eyes
When you look from your own eyes you can always find the good. Conversly you can also find the bad. Our perception is a collection of experiences both real and imagined. The truth but also the part that most of us do not consider is our mind does not know one way or the other what an experience is. The mind only does what we tell it to do.
Why is that important? This simple fact is what puts us in and out of our different states of mind. You can create happiness and you can create sadness. I understand that our nervous systems adapts to our current mind frame and releases various neurotransmitters. We can ultimatly change those. The concept of neuroplasticity applies not only to physical acts but imagined tasks and concepts too.
Where am I going with this...whose eyes? Two people looking at the same situation can mean two entirely different things. The truth to that is our experiences are vastly different when we try to live through someone else's eyes. We cannot account for years of thought, action, decision, or experiences real or imagined of anyone other than ourself.
We need to learn to be selflessly selfish and extremely adaptive. We need to know that when thirty people look at one picture although they can all come to one conclusion...it is one simple experience that can change it for the next thirty to come through. Just know that in order for people to co-exist in that picture they must know without a doubt that they are looking with their own eyes and be ready to understand that you can only create a reality of your emotions!

Too Tired To Sleep
Whenever I think, people get nervous. The result is usually some sort of release. Often times I do my best thinking and most of my thought releasing when it makes no sense to be awake.
So here is goes for the first time I am going to allow a glimpse into a tired mind.
Any good mentor teaches the student to dream. The mentor can guide, mold, and shape the dream but cannot make the dream, nor make the dream come true.
How many nights have you been woken up by a "dream" good or bad. All you remember is a glimpse usually, sometimes two or three. But from those few glimpse you can fabricate a story of the vastness of a dream. Why is that important???
A mentor can only give a student glimples of that dream. The student must realize that what he sees of his dream is a path to something greater than what we know as our dream. Life is interconnected with one, two, three, hundreds, thousands of people each one having their own dream and that great system of the universe. We can wish, will, guide, and feel our dreams and experiences before they occur.
The catch is other people do not think about your dream, they think of their dream and that, that is the vastness of dream. Somewhere dreams collide twist and turn. That is where hurt comes, that is where growth comes, that is where the student needs the mentor to restore the hope of the dream by giving the glimpse back!!
Power! Vastness of the Power of a dream is amplified when people with passion find eachother and with intension intertwine their dreams. Sometimes this is love, sometimes this is partnership, sometimes friendship but always turns into something more than our glimpses can show.
The Vastness of a dream relies not on an individuals ability to dream, but the dream to be followed into the vastness of greatness.
Well my friends as you can see my vocabulary is limited my brain is not quite working, but I am able to string together some thoughts...these are what allow me to say good night.
