Warning:
If this blog doesn't make much sense, blame the hospital staff here who shot me up with Demerol and Valium earlier today as I am still feeling the effects 
Looking at my left hand I see this major bump and bruise from where Nurse Nancy poked my vein for the intravenous before my day surgery today (BTW, everything turned out fine this time  what a relief. there was much worry to be had.)
It actually hurts to move my hand, good thing I am a righty 
Anyhow, bumps and bruises reflect life. We all go through the literal meaning of the phrase and at all stages of life. Falling off our bicycles as kids learning to ride. Falling off the monkey bars in the playground. Scraping our knees playing baseball in the summer. Falling down the stairs drunk when we hit bar age.  But these don't always leave a lasting impression on us. It's the non-literal bumps and bruises that do.
It's the memories of your "first time", first kiss, first love, first everything that can leave you emotionally scarred. But why do we let it?  Can't we look back and think "Wow, I was in love with that guy/girl" and feel good about ourselves that we had the ability to do so? Sure it may not have worked out but the past is a learning experience. You got right back on that bike and tried again, so why is it so hard to get back on the dating band wagon and let yourself experince those feelings again?
The bumps and bruises that are physical fade in time...we should chalk up life experiences to that too. Let the hurt fade into the dark and let the good times shine through. When you're positive and happy, people respond in a positive happy way too. Life is always going to hand you lemons in some form or another so make lemonade. If it's sour, add more sugar, 'cause we all could use a little more sweetness in our lives. And if it still doesn't taste right, toss it...and start anew. Just never give up being YOU, 'cause even when you feel those bumps and bruises, there is someone out there who thinks you are mighty damn fine! Ya never know, I could be one of those people

If any, the medication has not had a negative effect. Excellent, well expressed thoughts!

Yay! I love what you wrote here...
I am almost always smiling, and I am a genuinely happy person. Plus, I get bruises all the time! For a dancer, bumps and bruises are like a trophy proving you have worked hard and attempted to better yourself. Most of the time, I am going all out and in the adrenaline rush along with wonderful endorphins produced by exercise, I don't even notice I am getting them until afterward.
Life should be the same way. Lived to the fullest, not looking back. The bruises will come, because after all, this is the real world. But we can learn to look at them as trophies...
Love in Christ,
Sandra

We get way too scared as adults to let our selves get bruised and scraped I guess.
