I agree...a fun song on the radio can always get me out of a funky mood!

First of all, that is a common misconception about gauges/tapers/plugs. They do NOT leave a permanent gaping hole. If you remove them, they DO completely close up.

I had to chuckle when you mentioned affordability. I remember when a five dollar bill would get you in all day and the east side was called the "free side" because it was free. We'd park there, take a picnic lunch, ride the carousel, feed the ducks and float walnut shell boats down the creek for fun. Okay, I'll shut up now.

Glad you and the kids had such a good time and that the other Mommy and Daddy bloggers finally got to see what a sweet, mainstream sort of person you are!

I used to go to a monthly woman's breakfast at Knott's Berry Farm when I lived in Irvine. They do a nice job. I remember visiting when I was a teen, too!

Such an Awesome Event! I wish there were meetups like that in my area.

Or...just another reason for me to move to the West Coast! ;-)

Thanks for sharing!

I have to read this again...Some deep hard-hitting content here...

Loved the deep post. I agree with Chris and Mitch above. The Steve Jobs quote came to mind, too, about how only later do the dots connect looking back. You can't change anything that's happened (put rain back into the cloud), but you can trust that eventually every decision you've made will have added up to something (good).

I could probably write an entire blog post in response to this article Stacey. One thing I will say: It's nice to think that we all do things without expecting anything in return. However, if it seems that a relationship is only a one-way stream it is time to reduce the amount of time and effort put into it.

Being good, doing good, loving and giving of yourself often opens a path to rejection and disappointment. It's human nature....some are more giving than others and some people don't have it in them to be givers. Above all, though, you have to be true to yourself and the good you desire, the love you cherish will come to you. It just may not be where you expected to find it.

I was always taught that when you give, you may or may not receive the same kindness from the person to whom you gave - but you will always receive back from where you least expect it!

Giving you a virtual hug!

You have to give things like love and respect in order to get them in return. And if you want something from someone, whether it's love or money or whatever, it's best to come right out and ask for it. That way the expectations are clear. But in the case of giving money, it's probably a good policy to think of it as a gift (even if you say it's a loan), so that you're not disappointed! Stacey, I wish you lots of luck and love!

We are human, flawed and beautiful at the same time. You are a wonderful and awesome person, and I know that you deserve the BEST from everyone that you hang out with.

I think you are asking a really good question, but in answering it, you are being too hard on yourself for possibly having some "enlightened self interest" when giving.

Is anyone really "selfless?" I doubt it. Humans are selfish by nature, and when you beat yourself up for wanting something in return, who in the world are you comparing yourself to? You see your hidden weakness, but the person you may be thinking is selfless may be as conflicted as you are, and you just don't know it!

Obviously, you care deeply about people and are wanting to do right by them. That is a wonderful quality. You want to do that without getting hurt in the process? Welcome to the human race!

This is a great post that should generate a lot of reflection in your readers.

Stacey - I'm a believe of the "everything happens for a reason" and "Karma" ways of thinking. And from what I can tell, your Soul is programmed to do good things for people regardless of how grateful they may be. But if your actions causes only 1 person to pay it forward, then you've started an act of kindness chain which has infinite possibilities to change the World.

I believe you receive happiness from helping others. Now that is a true Reward. I'm grateful for knowing you.

I remember writing poetry back in high school as a way to put my feelings about life down on paper. Thank you for the inspiration!

Awesome Stacey! I love your poetry! I think you should write more of it :)
