If you stand for
something you will have people for you and people against you. But if you stand
for nothing you will have nobody for you and nobody against you. [Maurice Saatchi]
I notice that I seem to wander down similar side roads every
year. At about this time of year it’s the slippery slope of wanting to BE
understood. It is family stuff, and I think, finally, I am ready to stop
wanting it from anyone and
ready to give it to myself.
Since moving I have come to a deeper understanding of Who I
AM and what I am about. What I stand for, you might say.
It is not easy to
stand up against your constituents or your friends or colleagues or your
community and take a tough stand for something you believe is right. Because
you always want to keep working and live to fight another battle and it might
cost you your career. [Caroline
Kennedy]
Replace any of those 4 with family and forget about fighting
battles. When you stand somewhere that is in opposition to where your family
members are comfortable, you realise that standing for what YOU stand for can
cause a break.
I am still just sorting through this. I’m NOT carving it in
stone. I am just saying…
I love you, Currie
