Love, Twu luv

Those are the words the preacher speaks from the movie The Princess Bride as she is marrying Prince Humperdink.

L- is for the way you look at me
O- is for he only one I see
V- is very, very
E-xtra ordinary...

and that is a good way of putting it, since love like that seems to be very extraordinary these days. 

I heard a song by Vince Gil this morning. Whenever You Come Around. It speaks of the effects a person can have on us when they are near.  Vince Gil sings-  
I get weak in the knees
and I lose my breath, 
Oh I try to speak
but the words won't come,
I'm so scared to death.
When you smile that smile,
The world turns upside down,
Whenever you come around...

I think at some point we all know a person who makes our heart flutter. Hearing their voice, we just melt. Is it possible to love someone too much?

    Ah, I miss that weak in the knees feeling. But Redbook magazine says all that is the effects of dopamine, when you're first in love. Stupid Redbook.
    I think it's possible to love someone too much. Esp if they aren't in love with you in return.
    Hope you're well, my Pixie friend. :)

    Oh I definitely know that feeling. It's the feelings that come with new love. Over time, the butterflies go away, but hopefully, it's replaced a feeling that goes even deeper. I hate to call it a 'comfortable' feeling, because I think that sounds negative and less than what it is.

    There are certainly people that make your heart miss a beat but they are normally not the people that you will or should end up with. Extreme passion might burn red hot but it is mostly briefly and you end up getting your fingers burned. For me love is best for the long haul, 26 years with Mrs B, 17 of them married sure beats the hell out of a new lover every few months – I was never a fan of the tip toe around your new partner games that people play…but that’s just me, some people thrive on that shit and so either never settle down or hate it when they do…

    I love those feelings. They rarely last but they're so much fun while they do.

    Man, do I ever miss those feelings. Been a long time for me but it's something I always look forward to at the start of any new relationship :)

It's been a while since I have posted and I apologize for the time in between what I've posted recently. Having been traveling with my career, many times I'm exhausted when my head hits the pillow at night. I'll try to do better this year. Pixie Promise.

Teach a man to fish

The old saying " Give a man a fish, he'll eat for the day. Teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime. " has to do with teaching someone to do something. But what if they don't want to learn? It can be frustrating for anyone, how you can make something so easy for someone else to do and yet they still manage to screw it up. I know a few people in life like this. You can give them specific, written directions to follow, step 1, step 2, step 3 and so on... everything but hold their hand or do it for them. They still manage to blow it. There are people who leave you scratching your head in wonder, if they really just don't get it? They try, they honestly do and yet they fall short over and over, time and again. They either rush thru things, ignore things, skip things or try to just finish it now and come back later to clear up rather than do it right from the beginning. Um, no. It doesn't always work that way. I have always asked- if you didn't have ...

Bad Pixie? Yep, that's me!

I have recently found a website that is authored by a woman who is dealing with how her life has been changed following her husbands traumatic brain injury. In reading through her notations of his behavior, outbursts, threats, and several other issues she has come to deal with as they present themselves, I can't help but notice the profound number of similarities between her husband and someone I know very well. The one major difference is the timing of the occurrance of the brain injury. Her husband behaves this way as a result of his brain injury. The person I know behaves the way they do and may recieve a brain injury (think frying pan to the head) as a result. Although I would never do it, believe me, some days it is mighty tempting... A good friend of mine shared a bit of medical insight on all of this. "Post concusion syndrome or low grade brain injuruies do have a profound impact on personality, and are very often missed when the injury involves no LOC or very sh...
