We're going to mess up in life. We're all going to do things and wonder why we did something so stupid. There's going to be times we say things that leave us feeling regretful. We're going to feel mad at ourselves and even shameful at our own actions. Never be too proud to say you're sorry or I love you. These are easy words that strengthen our heart, and give us peace and wisdom.

We sometimes need to be assured of our merits and to have our most obvious advantages pointed out to us.

Between sunrise and storm.
My heart is a feather,
Fragile as eggshell
And tougher than leather.
Free to choose
The gratitude,
where kindness blooms
softening moods
Or to taste the suspicion,
Every hand a fist
Clutching for more.
Mercy dismissed.
All day,
We walk this tightrope—
One step from warmth,
Or toward frost.
Choice becomes habit,
Habit makes home.
Alternatives are lost.
Will we build with golden laughter,
Or chase the hollow applause?
Change the garden,
Change the harvest.
Our choices are seeds and cause.

Blue Hawaii is the first film I can remember seeing, at a drive in cinema with my parents. My mother loved Elvis.
