CS Lewis"
-AFFECTION: Affection is modest-even furtive and shame-faced
-FRIENDSHIP: In a circle of true friends each man is simply what he is :stands for nothing but himself
-EROS: "being in love" It is useless to try to separate lovers by proving to them that their marriage will be an unhappy one. This is not only because they will disbelieve you. But even if they believed, they would be dissuaded. Eros never hesitates to say 'Better this than parting'But Eros, HONOURED WITHOUT RESERVATION AND OBEYED UNCONDITIONALLY, BECOMES A DEMON.
-CHARITY: A Garden will not fence and weed itself, nor prune its own fruit trees, nor roll and cut its own lawns. It will remain a Garden, as distinct from a wilderness, ONLY IF SOMEONE DOES ALL THESE GOOD THINGS TO IT. "
Hmm just a few thoughts
I'm not a "trophy" to be shown off and put on the shelf when the show is over-
I'm not a toy to be played with when one is bored and then discarded when my shiny new allure wears off
I'm not a door mat that someone can walk on anytime they feel like it just because I'm welcoming
I'm not a punching bag ...even though I'll roll with them if they come my way
My friendliness shouldn't be misconstrued with being a flirtatious bimbo
A smile and kindness does not equal being aloof
Finally-
I'm not defined by my occupation....It just happens to be something I love and hopefully I'm good at.
What I am.....So much more than what I'm given credit/respect for ............

"Pray for the Men in Blue"
It takes a very special person to wear the blue.Most people do not understand what we doWe made a commitment to protect and serve.We work hard to provide the safety you deserve.
No normal shifts, not nine to five. We work 24/7 to keep you alive.Holidays and weekends don’t mean a thing.We work night and day, just give us a ring.
Our loved ones and children pray every night.That we will return at the break of daylight.We carry guns and wear vests to help us get through.You couldn’t imagine some of the things we must do.
We see accidents and blood and small children crying.We also see death and it’s not just old people dying.Abusive spouses and parents that don’t seem to care.These are just a few of the things, to make you aware.
Drug dealers and drunks are a regular sight.We go to the bars for fight after fight.Responding to calls day after day.Not allowing our personal lives to get in the way.
You complain all the time when you see us on a break.We just drive around in cars and oh, the money we make.Stop for a second and try to assessWho’s always there to clean up the mess.
We do all we can to help and provide. To make you feel safe and secure inside.Please remember all of the things that we must do.And next time you pray, include the men in blue.
