And that's why I often feel shaken to my core when my intention is misconstrued. People have become more and more cynical (myself included) and sometimes I will not do something simply because I do not want my good intentions to be misunderstood...The Absence of Alternativeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05395320989489560756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4713908623268184440.post-73239534645528471622011-04-17T21:48:22.513-05:002011-04-17T21:48:22.513-05:00I agree.

His songs are just what I need to keep motived and work well when I need a slower pace. Actually he's part of a trio, Leonard Cohen's More Best of.., Yanni's If I Could Tell You and James' Bipolar Shaman. His music is totally a different style but I like it. My intention is to keep trying new stuff in all sorts of genres. That's my way to stimulate and keep hoping for good days.Heidrun Khokhar, KleinsteMottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16174142810114806410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4713908623268184440.post-86954030387871655802011-04-15T20:36:27.916-05:002011-04-15T20:36:27.916-05:00Yep, you have to start with that as a base.Yep, you have to start with that as a base.secret agent womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03763879283931347382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4713908623268184440.post-88578680437403001392011-04-14T11:29:45.296-05:002011-04-14T11:29:45.296-05:00I do something similiar myself.I do something similiar myself.Karenhttp://andwhatdoiknow.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4713908623268184440.post-59870682162642216582011-04-14T09:10:12.441-05:002011-04-14T09:10:12.441-05:00Er..talking of good intentions, don't flowers ...Er..talking of good intentions, don't flowers need a little rain (giggle)?

If the motive is based on selfish reasons (wanting to change someone's behavior we don't agree with) then the good intentions become meddling.<br /><br />I know we have a lot of "helpful advice" we would like to help our adult kids with.
