Lip Service

Of course with our upcoming Presidential elections, it's only obvious the amount of Lip Service all of us are currently receiving from each candidate. They are both doing whatever it takes to get elected. I can understand this to a certain degree...it is what politicians do.

Where I become confused is when non-politicians or my good ole regular folks start to think Lip Service is an acceptable behavior. When did "straight talk" or communication become a thing of the past or something that the consultants view as "Harsh Behavior" in the workplace? I don't understand why everything I am receiving from employers, employees, friends, relatives, etc, is so candy coded that I get a tooth ache before I finish the conversation.

Just tell me what you're trying to tell me!!! Tell me that you think I suck! Tell me that you hate the way I do this, that, or the other. But what I can't do is Read Your Mind!!!

I was always taught that honesty was the best policy, and yes I might get in trouble for that, but it just seems much better than living in a world of Lip Service.

A Love Letter

Wanting to break away from my sarcasm and sinicism, I started to wonder what a true "love letter" might look like or maybe even feel like to write. So I did a little "soul" searching and researching and may have found something that resembles one...

"I can't get you out of my mind, not like I want to because thinking of you makes me smile. Last night I thanked God for bringing you into my life. Everything always seems better when you are around...I'm a better person, the world seems better and easier to deal with, and my outlook on life and the future becomes brighter. Thank you for inspiring, guiding, challenging, and listening to me. When we are together, I am comfortable, complete, motivated, happy, and at ease with life. I love you and I want you to know that I will do anything for you. Please let me know if I can ever help you in any way. I will always be available to listen to you and help you with any obstacle life may throw you. I want you to be as happy as you make me. This love I feel for you can only be described as unconditional. There is nothing you can say or do that can make me love you any less. I believe I have found for the first time the true meaning of love. "
