Day 18 - Frame within a frame and disrespecting parents

Love the red  rock and this type of scenes from Utah, some of the most beautiful views. I have been blessed that I have been able to find some beauty in every city/state I have been in. Not always as a whole, but there are so many gorgeous, breathtaking scenes in life, on this earth. Love it!!

I hope Kimberly puts her picture of a person holding a frame, holding a pic in a frame, or whatever, I cannot remember the whole thing but I love that and think we should do that!!

Disrespecting parents - so am I supposed to name a pair of disrespecting parents? Am I supposed to put down all of the things I did to disrespect my parents? Am I supposed to write ways to disrespect parents?? Or give a diatribe about how one should not disrespect parents??

Because I could do all of the above, unfortunately. I wish I could say that I never once disrespected my parents, I wish I could say that I was never rude, uncaring, un-compassionate, or took them for granted, but this would be a lie.

I wish I had never done those things, because regardless of my thoughts on whether they were perfect (which of course none of us can be) then I would not have residual guilt and regret over having done so. Every parent tells their kids a version of, life goes fast, when you have kids do not stress, just enjoy. Or, make good friends, make friends that truly are good people and want to be better, that do not disrespect animals or people or property, because you act and do the things your friends do. If you out grow your friends one way or the other you will find more that suit your needs, if you started down a destructive path with friends then wanted to keep going and they did not, you find friends that do. That accept you for you.....

Life goes by so freakin fast, beyond fast, and let me tell you, it is getting faster. Do not miss opportunities to help someone that needs it. Do not disrespect your parents because it is almost gone, will be gone before I blink too many more times. Do not disrespect anyone, there is no time to hate. It only makes you feel bad. 9 out of 10 times or higher you could confront the person and they have not been affected one bit by your reaction.

I am trying to be more loving, caring, kind, attentive. Really paying attention to every small act that I do, or missed an opportunity to do. If you think about visiting/calling/writing someone, do not delay, blink of an eye.....
