It's obvious, injury changes us.  Physically and mentally.  It gives us a certain reality about how much we have to be aware of what we are doing, especially, what type of people we are...human.  We can live day by day, mindless to what we are doing at the moment because we can manage it with no problem but one tiny slip up can cause a very big problem.  Unfortunately, the big problem is us getting injured and we pay the price for it.  We all cannot be Superman but EVEN Superman has his limitations. 

We all live with regrets.  It's a part of life.  What really hurts by living with regret is that we have to remember its moment for the rest of our lives.  We go day by day wondering if we could have done things differently but at in the end, you have to face the fact that it already happened and there is nothing you can do to go back and change everything. 

In the movie, "Lady In the Water", Paul Giamatti's character "Cleveland" is "the Healer" and must draw his energy to heal an angel that has been badly hurt.  When I watched this scene, I literally teared up and thought that this was a brilliant way of drawing energy by revealing his suppressed grief.  Cleveland expressed regret of not saving his family being murdered years ago.  It was a touching scene and it literally showed true emotion of love.  You see, long ago, I wrote an article about "love" being just a word.  Love is an emotional, a connection.  NO word can show how much you care for one person.  Hence the quote "Actions speak louder than words".  No matter how many times you write "I love you" in numerous love letters or in the modern technology of "texting", it will never come remotely close to the emotional connection between two people.  It can't.  So when you witness a scene like Cleveland's, you can FEEL the connection he had for the love of his family.

Moments come and go.  We have to embrace the opportunity whenever we can.  We get so busy sometimes that we forget about what is important.  In a way, it's not our fault because we are human.  We are not perfect to any degree but that doesn't excuse the fact that we can make the time to let someone know how we feel.  It doesn't matter how you do it or even say it, as long as you did it.  We are worried too much of the outcome, allowing us to hesitate.  We imagine a great happy ending where rejection doesn't exist.  How can we already form a conclusion based on imagination?  By the time you realize it, you've already wasted precious moments to tell someone how you feel.  People say, "You have all the time in the world" but that doesn't mean you are allowed to use that time to hesitate.  We have only have one life AND so do your loved ones.  Don't take one day out of the year to express your love for someone.  If you love someone, then express it now and there.  No matter how big or how small the expression is, as long as you seized the moment of what needed AND what YOU wanted to be done. We can go through life remembering tragic regrets but do you really want to?  If your answer is "No", then what are you waiting for?

Happy Valentines Day to all.
