Random Thoughts - No really

My mind is always running at about 120 miles per hour.  It starts with one thought then moves quickly through ten more, each vaguely related to the last.  One subject reminds me of another and then another, its like playing word association games in my head. What comes out of my mouth one minute is never related to what I say the next.  People tell me I’m random sometimes.  But that’s only because they don’t know how many thoughts have happened between my statements.  I wish my body would run as fast and as far as my mind.  It would certainly make running a whole lot easier.


I heard a quote today that caught my attention:

     "Bacon doesn't stop smelling good just because you became a Vegan."

Think about what that really means. It is applicable to most aspects of life.  

That's the difficulty with life.  Sometimes you have to give up what you want to get what you need.  You have to give up foods that you like to become healthier.  And those bad habits, the ones you sort of enjoy but they really don't make you feel good?  Give up those too.  Your mind needs to be healthy for your body to be healthy so give up those bad relationships, those bad thoughts, the past, the future and all those unhealthy desires.

What's left after you've given everything up?  The fabulous smell of bacon.  The agony every time you are faced with the decision to eat it or not.  Why do we care so much about how we feel anyway?  Do we really want to live that much longer?  Well, sure we do. We want more time with our loved ones.  We don't want to leave anyone behind....or be left behind.  That's the bottom line.

When someone we love leaves us we don't stop feeling love.  Sometimes what we feel is the love we had for them.....and sometimes what we feel is simply the love we are capable of giving.  Most of the time we can't tell the difference.
