I searched myself me to find I went through all the cracks all the detours and subsequent road blocks I discovered that I am no one 'tis true you know I would have never admitted it back when ego was king in those days I was sure I was someone my advice to you be very careful when you search yourself you may be surprised at what you find but if you're like me no one else fits you like a T (c)August 10, 2013 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ If we are what we eat, she's fast, easy and cheap. ~*~ |

Dear Jerry, it's good to search ourselves ... us to find", the temptation to find that we are "no one" lies on the surface, but if we go deeper we may find - next to our weaknesses - also our qualities. And we all have them, I am sure. When we know ourselves, we see our limitations, but also our possibilities. ![]() I enjoyed your words and you made me reflect on them ... thank you. Margherita |

Soul search is difficult...and I am not talking about one does on a leisurely walk, but one that goes down deep, and explores the hidden, perhaps unwanted-to-be-exposed inner feelings and characteristics... I am sure, Jerry, yours was NOT of the lighter kind... CG |

Oh, you are ever so right, CG, have probed deeply into what it is that made me what I was, and still are. ~*~ Old is when “getting a little action” means you don't need to take any fiber today. ~*~ |

Had to look up Selah, and now I know another word. I married a half Jewish and half Italian (what a combination) in New York City, but she was more into the Italian side. Didn't learn too many Jewish words from her. ~*~ Old is when “getting a little action” means you don't need to take any fiber today. ~*~ |

Thank you Jerry pat for a chance to think more deeply within. And yes Amaryllis2, we are "every one" within one body and mind. If you asked my six children who they see in me, you might receive six different answers as they each had a different mother according to the time of life I was in when they were born. I am more than one person as I try to conform to each of them and others to meet their needs as I might see them. Also I am who I think I am and also whom I would like to be. Add too, the others we meet in life and how they might perceive us according to the situation and the conversation. Yes, we have many others in side of us and may never know who might appear. I think that is why actors can play so many different parts . When you dig deep enough they are all there.Jo [This message has been edited by latearrival (12-13-2013 10:14 PM).] |

Thanks Amaryllis2. We all wear many faces, according to situations. ~*~ Old is when “getting a little action” means you don't need to take any fiber today. ~*~ |

martyjo, you have completely shed the light on who we are at different times in our lives. You are completely truthful in your thoughts. I like that. ~*~ Old is when “getting a little action” means you don't need to take any fiber today. ~*~ |
