New Year's Resolution?

Monday, December 29, 2008

Every year I make these vows that I will do this or do that, but rarely do I follow through. Why does it take until this time of year before I want to "fix" something? Is this such a magical night that it will help me make this vow come to light? Obviously not. So this year I vow to not set myself up for failure. I need to work on these things all through the year, not just once a year. I promise!

In the face of doubt

Tuesday, October 30, 2007

Doubt has been part of my daily life lately. With the loss of my mother and brother, I have questioned and second-guessed many choices I've made. I've learned a lot about myself as a result. One thing I know for sure....I am stronger than what I thought and I do not need to please others in order to be happy. I control my happiness, not others, and I will make the tough choices if I need to. It was, and continues to be, a hard lesson for me to learn and accept, but I am thankful that I have the ability to look past my doubts and make the right choices for me.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my sister four weeks ago. She was only 43 and it was so unexpected. Continue your journey, there are all kinds of possibilities out there. ~J Report Inappropriate Comment

The "value" of family

Tuesday, October 23, 2007

My family has always had some form of dysfunction. I can remember many times having fingers pointed at others or hateful words spoken about a family member by another member. Sure we all have differences with people we love, but mine has often taken it to the extreme. Family reunions were always tension-filled opportunities for people to spew their disdain onto others. For many years I avoided these reunions because I could not take the hatred. It was only just recently that I realized that it wasn't all family members, just a choice few, that gave what should be celebratory times a bad taste in people's mouths. And it wasn't the food.

I value my immediate family and those who I know deserve to be valued for what they are to me. For the others, I have recently learned that their venom is toxic to me and I would rather not be part of this.

Yep. I know exactly whatcha mean! I had to make that kindof decision, too. I came to the conclusion that I no longer wanted to upset THEM! No matter what Iīve said or done, it hasnīt chged their opinion of me one bit!I donīt need the stress either. Since my very presence upsets THEM, Iīve decided to stay away rom them. I refuse to walk on the other side of the street, so to speak, but I wonīt be present to be the brunt of jokes, criticism, "arrows", etc.!! Itīs just not worth it! YOU hafta take care of YOU!

The wisdom of listening

Saturday, October 20, 2007

This is an area that I definitely need to work on. I am a great talker, but I've lost the ability to be a good listener. I used to be good at it....I'm not sure what happened.
