I can say things that make me want to slap me...

Stuff on my mind... in my heart, things that make me smile, laugh, think... What inspires me, confuses me, entertains me... I love this especially, from author Thornton Wilder: "We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures." That, is perfect...

I should like...

I should like to think that today, with all its treasure and promise, can be a day as any other, in fact the best one, because today is the only day that we have right now.

I should like to think that laughter is one of our most important gifts...

I should like to think that the reality of any circumstance will stay with me, longer than the colors of pettiness and jealousy and other negatives that will try to stain it as time goes by...

I should like to think that my smile is a gift I can give freely, easily, and effortlessly, and that when I hoard it, that effort takes more energy than just letting it go naturely...

I should like to think that the love I have harvested is far superior to the love I have given, but that I shall go on giving it... and worry less about how it is returned...

I should like to think that sharing a smile should always be far superior to sharing gossip, or rumors or innuendo... I know, not as much fun, but still, so much more enduring and endearing...

I should like to think that keeping silent can be so much more rewarding than the alternative, regardless of how we might think we are serving the greater good by speaking up...

I should like to think, that there are times, issues and circumstances, that verily cry out for us to cry out, and being silent is the absolute last refuge of a coward....

I should like to think, that I just like to think...

    Methinks that whatever you think is usually fairly thought provoking... just sayin'... or in keeping with the theme... just thinkin' out loud...

    Thinking is good... but remember - don't believe everything you think... right?

    thinking is a could thing... i will think instead of should think ;-) however, one can over-think something and perhaps kinda miss out on stuff, right?

    good morning... and how are you this fine day? are you snowed in yet? ;-)
