The way life works sometimes...

It seems life has a way of just working around what we want at times.  

Thank you to Clean and Sober.

And again, you can set up these things, and do something about it if they don't happen... like walk away, but life will still happen. Set your goals and your requirements.  If you don't honor and respect  yourself, who will?

Just a tiny bit of humor...

Thank you Healing Hearts.

But...

Life is going to just keep happening.

Thank you Island Bohemia.

Yes, we are all under the same sky, looking at the same moon.  Have a great Wednesday!! 

It is Tuesday... 

Yes, in a more perfect world. But, shouldn't we actually be looking at this and thinking this way more?

Thank you The Idealist.

I think one of the hardest things to do is wait.  To just breathe and let it go.  It may take me a while to figure it out, but when I do? I want it to happen now. I have seen too many dreams go up in smoke because I was waiting for the right time... 

Thank you The Soul Leaf

Thank you Personal Hype Girl

Have a great day today! 

 And another Monday rolls in.

This is so true.  I am really bad at keeping in touch. If I do, I care. After a while? If I am the only one making the effort, it stops.  

Thank you Spirit Trails!

Have a great Monday!

And the day came...

Knowing how hard in the past I have tried to stay in that safe little bud, it still surprises me that perhaps it is time to come out and blossom.  It will be a slow opening, things have to come together and things have to depart. But I am really hoping it happens.

It would be such a different world. It is so difficult to imagine knowing how the world wants beauty to the point AI is now doing perfect, beautiful pictures and we airbrush real people into what 'someone' considers perfection. 

Thank you Quotes to Inspire.

So many memes are geared to women. I have mentioned this in the past.  This one I am hoping, or should I say I am gearing it towards the male population.  There are so many men hurting out there, because they don't speak, don't tell friends, don't cry, just get eaten away by everything inside of them. 

We need to teach them young, they do not always have to be strong, it is ok to show feelings and to have them.  What is ok and what is not... to be human, not just male.

Thank you Exposing Financial Abuse.

Thank you Thrift Warehouse. 

Thank you Angel Love Free Spirit.

Thank you A Peaceful Place.

May the remainder of your Sunday be a peaceful one.

 

Blessed.

Thank you to Your Daily Encouragement.

I just returned from our local 'Autumn Days' event.  I did get soap that I needed and some lotion.  Saw other things but really didn't need anything. So I bought something to eat for after Mass and said I am good to go! It was nice to see three or four people that I know and caught up some with what was happening in our lives. Came home to the wood stove still going along, the back room nice and toasty. Which, I might add, even with three layers on I was cold being outside in the biting breeze. 

Thank you BOCA Recovery Center.

I know I can go back and remember people who helped me. I carry those people in my heart still.  I also can still remember those who put me in difficult times and who left me in difficult times.  

I had read, have something happen and see who your friends are. It is true. I have forgiven most of those in the second two categories. Most. Will continue to work on those who I have not.  We can say all we want to, I forgive you for... even if they don't hear it. But if it comes back into your mind with anger, resentment, whatever? You really didn't.  Easy to say to do it, much harder to actually forgive.  Maybe it depends on how much hurt was inflicted.

And then we have those on the other end of the spectrum. Full of love and light.  I would have to say that I feel most of us fall into the in-between category.  

And no matter what, we always seem to carry hope don't we?  

Overall, it has not been an unhappy Saturday, it has actually been a fairly good one. I did get out, socialized (which is very difficult in the last few years) so I say that is progress! 

I usually try to make or use 'unisex' posts, but, I am a woman. I would say that is exactly what I want right now.  A heart at peace.

Wishing you a peaceful rest of your Saturday!

 

Yes, every day is a new beginning.

Do we actually look at it that way?  Or do we get out of bed and think, ugh.. another day to get through.  It is all in how we look at things I believe.  NOT that I can do that every day as well, not at all. I have my bad days and my good days.  

Speaking of, I was emailed an article that I really found rather interesting.  I am definitely an introvert. But this article takes it even further, to Highly Sensitive People (HSP) I have often wondered why I think the way I do, do the things I do...  and this article, or 27 things, were so on.  If anyone is interested in reading, especially if you are introverted.  Here is the link.

You will probably have to copy/paste it in your browser. 

I see these posts all the time, I also think, I can work on that.  After reading the article I listed above, I am not so sure some of the things I want to do will be possible.  

But we have to be honest, sometimes they are not the strongest, nor are they the nicest. They have been beaten down just too many times.  Hopefully they will find someone that they love and receive the love in return.

Thank you Sani Sani Usman.

So true. Not what people want to hear. We want our problems to just go away, without facing them, without working on them.  Difficult that one.

Thank you Peaceful Mind Peaceful LIfe.

 

 

A fading Thursday.

Good Night!
