What I learned about bubbles

Years ago, I couldn't tell you when exactly, I was watching an episode of a show called Dharma & Greg and something one of the characters said stuck with me.

"Put it in a bubble and blow it away."


That little statement from a silly sitcom is advise that I think all of us should take to heart. We've all suffered hurt, pain, and humiliation . Felt, angry, jealous, resentment, betrayed and even abandoned . We've held a grudge (or still do), been unforgiving, and have blamed others for the bad things that have happened in our lives. But what have any of us gained from this. Nothing but daughters and fathers who don't speak. Wives who hate their husbands because they don't feel equal in the relationship. Brothers and sisters who don't trust each other because of things that were once hastily said or done. Friends who feel alone in the world.

Carrying all this has kept us from fully experiencing and sometimes completely missing the happiness that is so available to us. When it comes right down to it we are the ones in charge of how we feel. It's up to us to decided if life will shape us or break us.

So I implore you, when others wound you and situations beat you down and you think you'll never be able to get over what just happened, please choose to.......

  1. Sometimes when i am in water such as a hot tub or a pool and bubbles appear near me. when a case of these mysterious bubbles happens it reminds me of a little jingle i heard from a movie it goes like this (beans beans the more you eat the more you toot!) remeberin this tune makes me think about all the emotions and problems that a little toot can cause. These emotions include anger from the perople around you when u release the toot. The medical condition of tootoritis can cause family relations to strain due to the problem of releasing silent stink bombs in close quarters among another family member this condition could divide a family in half. A simple little toot could even divide a country due to its power of being disrespectful. there has been rumors that during a meeting between abe lincoln and general robert lee lincoln let out a little toot which he didnt find very bad due to his country upbringings but lee found this very disrespectful and decided to lead the fight against the union. So next time u want to relase some gas think about all the reprocautious that might occur. So some bubbles u shouldnt let go.
    love alex
