What I Learned About Me... from A to Z
What have I learned about myself this past year {blogging}..? hmmmm... First off... I would like to make sure you know up front... I never had blogged before until I started this blog 349 days ago. Secondly... I never intended on learning anything. HAHA! LOL! No but seriously... It wasn't my intention... Check out what my intention(s) were/are here.
So here goes... What I Learned About Me... from A to Z

"Q" is for... Qi. pronounced chee... I {like I'm sure many of you ..wink, wink} have used Qi many times in Words with Friends ...
I didn't know what Qi meant until I looked it up.. nor did I know that Qi and {chee} were one in the same. hahaha...
Qi noun (che) or (chee); the circulating life energy that in Chinese philosophy is thought to be inherent in all things; in traditional Chinese medicine the balance of negative and positive forms in the body is believed to be essential for good health.
I have come to learn this past year that my Qi is a- okay!
"R" is for... Respect. ... It's like I've said it before.... I thought about it long and hard... and I want to talk about respect. or the lack thereof.
I've seen children, adults, teens, tweens (what the heck is a tween anyways?) ... really? when and who came up with this? {I looked it up... kids between 8 - 14} [another day another subject...]
As I was saying... I have seen a lot of lack of respect out there in the world... lack of self-respect included.
Whatever happened to good ol' fashion respect? One where a youngster gives his or her seat up for an elder? Be it who it is.
or respect for your neighborhood, let alone your neighbor... or how about respect towards your spouse and your marriage, not to mention your children...
Of course I know that respect is sometimes expected to be earned... however more times than not I believe that you should at least start out with a blanket respect or rather beginners respect that not only can grow with time, but can also deminish at a drop of a hat with merit or lack thereof.
So why don't we give everything and everyone the benefit of the doubt and treat others as we would like to be treated... and then possibly mutual respect will develop.

If we lose love and self respect for each other, this is how we finally die.
