Gosh I don't wish to sound like the grinch here. I have always seen things in a manner that in no manner am I egocentric and during these times I guess it really shows the human side of people. Maybe I have been thinking too much but the nature of people - there is something to this time of the year. In all aspects. Certainly there are some that when you bring up something usually it can be so mistaken. Then again does one just stick to there own area and just write. There are a few people that sincerely I don't know why one has to place on iggy but then it does happen but that all said - to rekindle - it's something that's both to resolve the problem or the thoughts and well this is the human side of me. I remember the word, tact being used however this time of the year or any can be if you ask me to be that open door to gaining back and understanding with some and putting bygones as bygones.
Just my own thoughts during this time of the season and all. Just my own thought during this time...
Yeah, some things are easier to let go by then others.
ReplyDeleteit sounds like maybe you have had some falling out with a couple of people here? not sure though. if people can't like you for who you are, just the way that you are, there is nothing to be done. sad to say, but true. you can't change yourself to please someone else, if you do then you are not being true to you.
ReplyDeleteTruly yeah GG.
ReplyDeleteYeah I mean there are some that are just ...you know and then there are others that if only one had the ability to gain that understanding....I never fought with anyone so often I think that I grew so big at times with this blog that there were some that actually would I wish not to say it but it's a game and I am not into games. Yeah but there is that thing Suzie that by way of writing so often the words don't come out right...sometimes.
ReplyDeleteWell no but then yes it's hard to explain. This guy is confused literally and not playing it...obviously there are times when there are complete strangers and it's nonsence and there there are very valid good people, then there are some that well, I was invited to so many groups and so on and as well I did delete people at a time as a did not want to be a large blog. Do you know what I mean?
ReplyDeleteI guess what is needed is more clarification of what you consider games. I am not into head games, but goofing around and making funnies or jokes isn't a problem to me.
ReplyDeleteNor me really sincerely I am not and I wish I had sound as I don't as I have always been vocal and better at explaining myself in voice but....I do ask this not to have a kazillion of people on my blog. But I love those that are well you know what I mean...
ReplyDeleteFriendship is like a hickory stick, Jack. You can break it, but not easily.
ReplyDeleteYou can throw it on a fire, but it's likely to survive with some scarring.
You see, friendship is tough, and lasts a long time without much nurturing or thought. You can call on a friend after not hearing from them for 20 years and it's the same as yesterday. We have to work real hard not to have a friend, not the other way around.
I'm not sure what's on you mind right now, Jack ... I must have missed something that happened along the way.
ReplyDeleteI never had a lot of friends on my blog, never understood why some bloggers just want to keep collecting people. Well, I think I do understand, it's an ego thing ... and that is not what my ego needs.
I do run through my friend's list from time to time and delete those who've stopped communicating with me. I also like to add new friends if we have someting in common to share. I do not like drama and will not get involved with it ... I enjoy a good discussion or an intelligent debate, but mostly I'm into photography, poetry, music and sharing some of my days and feelings. And I always enjoy a good laugh and a warm hug. ;~D
Sincerely I have had so many invites and I didnt wish to have a large blog and then now I enjoy it were it is but there are a few that I love sharing with and especially at this time. Well Frani, I can tell you one thing truly you are a very good friend. Several blogs and so I am not looking to be a group at all there are some very great people on here. And well that is basically it.
ReplyDeleteHello Jack. I hope your having a great Saturday, ((evening now )). Interesting blog my friend, and I suppose I understand what your saying here.There is such a diverse group of people here on multiply and diverse personalities. We are not all going to get along and I guess it is smart not to have too many contacts. I love people and i have lots of friends(( close)) , I even talk to on the telephone. I have quite a few who never message me or never visit my site but that is okay, I understand people are busy, but we do say hello every now and then. I have also had to block some contacts too for differences of opinions. I would prefer to get along with everyone and visit my contacts sites and leaves notes or messagesto let them know I am thinking about them.
ReplyDeleteWe all have and really I am not looking to build numbers I enjoy the writes and yeah I have called a few myself but it's all within good faith. But the writes and the shares during this season I thought I would throw it out there I remember you asked me into a group and I really just wished to write and how one comes to be wiser over time in what is rather than what is not. I have blocked, but isnt there an open door with all of this?
ReplyDeleteI love some drama once in awhile its how we cope up with life, without it there's no life at all to deal with. And its there we learned. And yes I love some poetry too, if I feel there's one coming out not by force but by emotions of the moment ... and that's for me is ... well, lovely. Its heart talking, Jack.
ReplyDeleteAbout friends. Deleted some ... and I don't wanna explain why. I listen to my heart. And that's all. I want a clean friendship not base on something else.
*This is me ... hugs.
Nice pic over there Jack ... missed that smile ...
ReplyDeletebygones be bygones---si amigo----i tell this to people---then i look into their eyes and know they are asking---"et tu?"----it is then amigo that i must admit that i am not so good at letting some things go----and we smile and we understand that life is a constant and like the sands on the beach always changing always shifting yet always a part of the bigger ocean-------so do we see only the beach or do we dare to cross to the horizon--because we are simple beings sometimes we are flat earth and fear falling off and sometimes we dare to sail on----i believe we mourn not that which we have lost but rather that which we have never had----no matter the season.................................
ReplyDeleteBy the way what's *iggy* Jack ?
ReplyDeleteSo am I wondering what is "why one has to place on iggy "?
ReplyDeleteI think it is important to forgive, to make allowances (the words don't always come out right, a person may be going through stuff, they are from a different culture, etc.) and also to examine oneself when criticism is made to be sure of its validity or not.
Thinking about forgiveness and peace is one of the good points of this season. And of course practicing them is even better. :-)
iggy pop....
ReplyDeleteDJ, just awoke and it's -26 let me get my bearings here....:).
ReplyDeleteYeah your right, yes I will give you an example there are three women. Two of which are well into there 70's on 80's believe it or not. Then comes along one that wants to start her own group (note this was while I was living in Edmonton) and the very young 80 year old lady whom was a gas - meaning vibrant we would talk and she was from Transalvania, Australia........she was led to believe I had done things that were not true - defaming of character. So I knew the source and I had a Christmas card from here and then before you know it as I thought of this one as like a relative but as well a friend.....you know my age....well one can be lead down that path from another and you know it's rather silly.
Ok sweats are on and fireplace is on and it's cold...........hey were were on and of if I recall and look we are friends oui? I think that is true as I think I did delete you as I was timid with too many people I felt that I had never talked to them in chat and I really could not get that feel as to who you were....Now look...:).
(By they way yesterday was a long day and not all down and so on).........Practice what you preach yeah...
Read all the above....people do come and go....yet they are able to maintain their friendship link....no matter what...no matter how long...friends will always be friends in some ways. Look at me!! Gotcha!
ReplyDeleteT'is the Season, my friend.....Have a nice Sunday1
Hugs
Just follow your heart and be your good self.
ReplyDeleteHi, Lettie, I just arrived home here and yeah the old "gotcha". It's a good Sunday there long time friend....
ReplyDeleteSi, you speak tremendous english Rosa...thanks there to you in Chile.
ReplyDeleteRight now you must be having the same weather that we are up here.
One follows that path and where it leads to within the moment right now.
Thankyou.
ah..agree..just follow yur Heart:)
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading your shared thoughts. Anything from the heart is real and serves many a purpose. Tact seems to be thrown to the winds for the most part these days and in my personal opinion, it is an absolute must. Reminds me of an old saying .... "You've a right to express your opinion but no right to be cruel." You are doing just fine and I for one, appreciate your eloquent candor. :)
ReplyDeleteOne meets all sorts of people here. I guess that is the beauty of something like Multiply or any other blogging site, I suppose. I think we should all be flexible and let each person be himself, as we want to be allowed to do. Barring malicious mischief, maybe turning a blind eye to occasional misunderstandings is best. We grow and learn from other bloggers - what is good and what is not. If a connections exhibits constant ill will or shows a bent toward troublemaking, that person can gently be deleted.
ReplyDeleteI am fortunate....I really am and I will say that as I really do respect all those that are on as friends - I truly mean that!
