This is something my granddaughter told me earlier today before she left for home about 5:00p.m. When Luisa visits it is such a treat for the entire family. We all want a part of her and the good part is she wants a part of all of us. I am not sure if "Beliefs Are Stories We Tell Ourselves" was original or if she was quoting someone, but the statement caught my attention and I jotted it down, I do that a lot, when I read something, hear something on TV or on my car radio. I have actually pulled my car off the road and wrote words down before I forgot them, such are the power words have over me.
I am not even sure what my beliefs are anymore. As a young woman I had such strong beliefs. I would have written a much different blog 30 years ago. Perhaps I should start with what I don't believe. I don't believe any one person has all the answers. I don't believe any one book can provide all the answers either, particularly if that book is based on any organized religion or put out by any political party....O.K. here are a couple of my beliefs; I believe that if wanted to bake the best chocolate ever I would go to the person who I thought baked the best chocolate cake. I believe that if I felt the absolute need to share a confidence there are 3 people, of the all the people I have got to know in 72 years that I would be comfortable doing that with. I believe that we are only as sick as the secrets we keep. I believe that of all the men I have known in 72 years there are two that loved/love me. I believe I would give my life for my children, and scarier than that, seeing as I am being honest, I would give yours too. I believe that I am on the side of the person I love, in fact I have no interest in even hearing the other side, if I love you I AM ON YOUR SIDE. And I believe that that is not always a good thing, but it is a true thing. I believe right now I am very tired and sleep deprived. So I am signing off.
