"When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself." -Wayne Dyer

An intelligent man will be discreet, will not put himself above others, will show respect for others, and will do well economically; he will be esteemed because he has merited the consideration of others by being intelligent, respectful, and with a big family which also merits consideration. These are the essential values. -Jean-Pierre Liegeois "Roma, Gypsies, Travellers"

"For those who are, by choice or force of circumstance, sedentary for long periods of the year, taking to the road, even briefly in the summer, brings back an awareness of family unity in contrast to an environment that changes with the miles, to experience first-hand what the old people talk about, to reinforce group solidarity, and so on." -Jean-Pierre Liegeois "Roma, Gypsies, Travellers"

I'm going through some of my old writings today, which likely means there will be a number of posts, as well.
I'm proud of how far I've come, but it's painfully obvious today that I have a long way to go before I can obtain the happiness I'm looking for. Some of my faults are obvious, others, not so much. Many of my worse habits have long been disguised, some, perhaps, I don't even see enough to disguise them.
I am content where I am. However, it is when I am content that I have become complacent. It is time to let my roots ground me while I reach for the sun. I am grateful for those around me, and I am not going to desert them, or use them, but I will let them help me grow.
As always, more to follow.
