Me... a sign...

• Capricorn







December 22 - January 19






You are not in the habit of talking without saying anything constructive, dear Capricorn. Sometimes some people even suspect you or accuse you of having nothing to say! When you are just being patient, they say that you are ignorant. When you are just demonstrating your tolerance, they say that you are indifferent. Today, it's time for those people to learn the real truth about you and understand just how much you have to say about the world.



I read these from time to time... Never actually look at them as something to live by, but more as something to remind us about what may be happening in our lives. If I end up with time to read mine, then that is most likely the day I was meant to read it. Today is one of those days! I often struggle with what I want to say.

That what is playing in my head never comes out the way I want it to sound. I refrain from saying things for fear I will offend by not getting it across with the right meaning. Or that I may hurt someone with my feelings or thoughts. Yet I live in a world where everyone says and does or doesn't say or do what is best for them without worry of it working for others.



Constructive sometimes can be things we need to work on, so they are not always things we want to hear. I can't say I am the best at hearing constructive criticism, but when I present it, I try to do it in an inclusive way. Where what needs to be worked on is something that can be shared...



Patience can be mistaken for ignorance... complacency or a lack of caring. Being patient with others as they work their life issues can be a trying effort, but the most rewarding one in life. Showing the ones we care about, or those who have no one to stand by them when their lives are askew, a bit of patience is something I strive to do each day. I cannot begin to say THANK YOU to those who have taken time to show patience with me as I grow as a person. I am still growing! So I would say we each need patience... daily....



Tolerance... Our world is so lacking in this area! We as a human race need desperately to embrace tolerance on every level of our daily living. We want so much to be accepted as a person, from early childhood, through our lives we struggle for acceptance. Tolerance is something I want to exemplify each and every day!



I hope that each of us take time to look at the things we are going through on this day, and consider those around us. Remember that we are not alone in the things we face on a daily basis. That by making time for others, by allowing room in our lives for evolution to change us, we have the opportunity to become a better person every day!



Peace to you all
