Sometimes you are the one Karma is bestowed upon and sometimes you are the purveyor of Karma...

In realtion to this one...not all "complaining" is really complaining...if you hear someone complain about something, nine times out of ten it is a momentary outgassing...and should not be relayed to the person involved...

Amen!

I agree again!

I've learned that everything is cyclical...and that sometimes you have to try an idea a couple of times a year for several years before it to takes hold...

That consistancy and presence counts more than glamour and BS...

That everything you say and do can be misconstued or used out of context to cast aspersions on you...

That if people have a problem with you they will take it to others and it will get blown out of proportion...they very seldom will talk to you about their problem with you.

That having trustworthy friends is a vary rare and dear thing.

That people without personal integrity aren't worth being around!

and lastly...people can change for the positive...if you allow them to!
