Grand parents and lessons

 

I now go back to bot me but my dating life and rehash bad dating experiences.  Why am I doing this?  Well for the entertainment of the world or just for those in my life to have cool stories about my life and dating experiences. 

To go along with my exploits in the world of dating I will be reaching back to for stories about my grandparents and the lessons I was taught as it pertains to the fairer sex.  My grandma did try to raise me to be a gentleman, to be different.  I have been taught to be better than I have been taught by so many however sometimes I am just a coonass.  My ex’s mom used to say about me that you can take the dog off the street however you can’t take the street out of the dog.  I have been in high society with the kings and queens to the poorest of poor the working man I have found a way to be in those different circles however every now and then the coonass comes out of me because I am Louisiana.  My grandma used to say bow to nobody look them in the eye however respect those needed.  Show class do not embarrass her and even with her not in this world I still fear her.  I remember my grandpa did shrimping in different states.  He would be gone however my grandma would always leave the light.  He called her his light, no matter how long he had to be gone she would have the light when he came in.  I don’t think it was the light all the time that he spoke of but the smile on my grandma’s face when he got home.  He told me find someone that will leave the light on for you and will smile like your grandma does when you get home.  I remember the light on in the front I would check it to make sure it was on however my grandma never forgot.  She would tell me that she had been doing this before I was born.  I couldn’t wait to hear my grandpa going down that crackling dirt road.  It was always late so you could hear when a car or truck was coming.  I would sit on the porch with my grandma waiting for him to get home. 

I always enjoyed those times my grandma would tell me about life.  Tell me to find someone that you want to go home to not avoid home.  Home is comfort home is where you relax.  It should never be a place of misery.  Misery is voluntary she used to say, and it does not belong inside the home.  Most only think all should be chaos with tension and anger.  Serenity and love only to pass that threshold, so make sure your feet are clean of all negative hate and tension before you walk in your house.  She said the same about relationships make sure the mud from one is not tracked into the next. 

The hard part most people make it tension filled by all the feelings not felt and the words not said.  That the home and your significant other should make it happy just like you should reciprocate to them.  We often forget the golden rule.  Do unto others how you would them do unto to you.  Also, to remember Gandhi an eye for an eye only makes the whole world blind.  These I always think of well sometimes I fall short being a human and forget one however I do hear that sweet voice of my grandmother when I fall short of her expectations.
