The Butterfly Effect

Movies should-- inspire, move, entertain. Not many movies in my opinion do all of that plus more. When this movie first came out on dvd, I watched it with my family. It had such a profound effect on me I couldn't get it out of my mind. I started thinking about my own life and the decisions I've made.

We all have, our shoulda, coulda, woulda moments...every single thing we say, and do, has an effect on another human-being, be it negative or positive. We might not even realize it. It can actually change the course or path they take in life! I know that when my younger brother passed away, my whole family felt that way..."If only, I'd done this or that--he might still be here."

Who's to say if that is true or not, we are only human and we do think these things I'm sure. At least we're given the ability to accept situations that are painful and go on. Still our minds will go there and sometimes drive ourselves crazy with the "if onlys"

Back to our decisions and how they affect others, we all should, (and I really try to teach this to my kids) to always think before we say things, to strangers, family members, anyone we're having a conversation with because how do we know where their head is at, at that moment. One wrong comment could profoundly change the course of someone's life.

Believe me, I'm no saint and would never profess to be one, yet I really hope that even on here, I wouldn't want someone to take something the wrong way, feel bad etc. That is never my intent. I just want someplace to vent and share ideas with... It's really easy to get attached to people on here. I especially like the humorous girls and their way of putting things out there!


So, yeah that's my thought for the night...

As my boys would say--"peace out!"
