Yes.....

That is what I have heard....

Do they live down the street from you ?

[Jack_Three_Beans]

I thought most kids in the South didn't have shoes.

[Lostforwords]

One thought they were already a really great house painter, and their efforts were irrelevant to the up keep of the house ?

Well Mach....we really want to get deep today don't you? The funny thing is Jack and I have been discussing this a bit on my thread. It really is a question bigger than our MLC/LBS discussion...is it not? Something than can apply to everyone?

What defines "great"? Or is it just an delusion that we have of our own grandeur. If we look back in history....some of the "greatest" people shared a common treat...humbleness.

So is it that we are delusioned by our greatness....and it is only after we look in the mirror and see ourselves truly do we realize that "great" or "perfect" is not really the case....we all have work to do.

So for the LBS....we need to look in that mirror and accept our own faults. Maybe it is we worked to much (enabled by the thought "it is for the family") or we focus on our spouse to much (enabled by the thought..."I want to show them the love they should feel")....neither of these are "bad" traits. Maybe even defined by society as being "great" spouses. The question for the mirror though...."Were these really "great" traits or are the weaknesses caused by lack of priorities?".

I think the only "greatness" we can achieve is by accepting our imperfections.

I think you can boil this down to what you do with the time your spouse is in MLc...or how long you are an LBSer...

How long your remain an LBSer makes more sense...since it is up to you.

Do you waste the time?

Do you sue the time?

I am GRATEFUL to be an LBS. Not because of the relationship I have...but because of who I am. And Who I am, helps in whatever relationship I have. I am better for becoming better.

Sure....Why the heck not.....

The funny thing is Jack and I have been discussing this a bit on my thread. It really is a question bigger than our MLC/LBS discussion...is it not? Something than can apply to everyone?

I have been reading along....Thats why I asked you here though...

I liked the thoughts there...and with the "star" power of a fine, upstanding fellow like the Pirate....the words will surely get spread .... : )

So is it that we are delusioned by our greatness....and it is only after we look in the mirror and see ourselves truly do we realize that "great" or "perfect" is not really the case....we all have work to do.

This is the nugget Lost.

This was, is , and always will be my point....

Thank you for wording it exactly the same, but completely different...

People don't always read, or see the same way.

And regardless of my ribbing you about articulation earlier, you do have a way that reaches people....

I think the only "greatness" we can achieve is by accepting our imperfections.

This is the path of the LBS.....kind of in a mission statement kinda way......

Thank you again for patronizing me Lost....You are a class act in my book.
