Tough days, Mercury in retrograde and love...
Category: Life

Mercury in retrograde usually sucks..and this month it did, except for the last couple of days. Everything came crashing down..but what did Cecile say "out of the mud a lotus grows"

While Mercury (the planet ruling communciation) screws up all communication devices (notice how myspace was crazy this month), did your computer crash, cell phone act up? It also wrecks travel plans and really makes absolutely NOTHING go smoothly or as planned. But on the good side it forces you to SLOW down and reflect. It also brings up things from the past that need to be dealt with or that are needed to help you move forward. Well, this last few days it has brought old friends, acquaintances and yes, crushes back into my life. Just when I thought I was going to give up, I was blanketed in love.

There is a lot of evil in this world. We battle it every day. The only way to overcome this is love. Love all the time, everyday. Even if it hurts. Forgive your enemies, understand differences in people, upbringings, cultures..respect even if you dont understand.

Have you ever had a bad day and then someone says or does something and it makes it worse? They didn't know you had a rough morning. What about the person that smiles or gives you a compliment or helps you out...so much better. Point is we dont know what is going on with everyone around you. Someone may have died. Or said something hurtful. Or broke someones heart. Or maybe they just couldn't find matching socks. We're in a delicate balance. We have to share our good days and pick each other up.

Love. Love is always the answer. And it hurts. The more we love the deeper we feel pain. Love doesn't mean be "in love" all the time either. Honesty.. have to always be honest first. And love with what you have. If someone is in love with you and you aren't in love with them, love them back but be honest. If you drag it out it will hurt more later. Understand their pain. Every one has had their heart broken.

Imagine if everyone communicated what they were feeling. I wonder where it became right to hide your feelings. Corporate America is a perfect example. Its not okay to cry or express emotion. What is that crap? We aren't computers. Emotion is what makes us live human beings..not cold machines. The more you keep down the harder you become. Sure you feel less pain but you give up the ability to feel love. I imagine heaven as feeling constant love. And there can even be love in conflict. Don't you fight with the people you love most?

So as I go on my rant, I am realizing I've made it through this month in one piece (barely)..and mostly because of love - the unconditional love from family (and even if you don't have a great relationship with them, deep down they still love you, so get over and call them..unless of course you have that rare evil psycho killer in your family, but I really doubt it); love from your friends putting aside their tragedies and obstacles to get you drunk and take you shopping; love from past crushes to make you remember there are great times and great people out there and that you do make impressions on others lives; and even love from those who have broken your heart, because they are truly sorry and just because it didn't work out it doesn't mean they don't love you.

So take what you may from what I have written and have a fantastic day. Smile at someone, open a door, say thank you, say it's okay, say I'm sorry. You may just help someone get through a day they thought wasn't possible to live through.
