So, dear Mathri, our Mduduzi, if love is a healing aid, please…take mine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just like you, I’ve learned as I get older what the beauty of life is.  The beauty of life is that while we can’t undo what is done, we can see it, understand it, learn from it and change. So that every new moment is spent not in regret, guilt, fear or anger, but in wisdom, understanding, love and laughter.  I wish all of those things for you, my special friend.  xxx</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/93070148403148700/2303325969296530734/comments/default/1329721114241302600'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/93070148403148700/2303325969296530734/comments/default/1329721114241302600'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.soaringimpulse.com/2009/09/soaring-impulse.html?showComment=1253185419873#c1329721114241302600' title=''/><author><name>Tessa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05233122532137654099</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13836334472309983892'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.soaringimpulse.com/2009/09/soaring-impulse.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-93070148403148700.post-2303325969296530734' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/93070148403148700/posts/default/2303325969296530734' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-93070148403148700.post-4664407652546307960</id><published>2009-09-17T14:44:56.464+10:00</published><updated>2009-09-17T14:44:56.464+10:00</updated><title type='text'>Maithri, how strange that you would post this toda...</title><content type='html'>Maithri, how strange that you would post this today, when today I had my own little test of strength, and posted as well.  I did not fair, perhaps, quite as well, although I did soooo much better than I would have in the past... because I, too, am tired of being victimized.  Mostly, tired of letting other people push my buttons, and walk over me. Sometimes it&amp;#39;s not so much the words, as how they are said, and what the intent is behind the energy which evokes those words. It can be hard, sometimes, for people who are sincerely nice, kind, and loving, to deal with those who are not naturally so.  How do we react?  What do we say?  What do we do so that they won&amp;#39;t continue with their ill intended actions?  I decided today, like you, that I will hold my head up, because I know who I am. Love to you, my dear friend!
