Believe in yourself during those wrong turns!

Thank you Spirit Trails

These two went together somehow. I have had more than one conversation recently about who we are and what we want, growth, etc. I truly feel we all continue to grow, but we are who we are. Unless we have a need that we must change due to a really wrong path, there are always little corrections we are making. I can look back and see where I have more confidence, but still not completely confident. But That is me. I have insecurities, quirks, passions and definite likes/dislikes. I can accept things much better than I could. I am not thrilled about my age but at least I am still alive and going to enjoy life that is left. There are so many posts and sayings about being the real you, know who you are, but I think they are more for the young. Those teen/twenty somethings that are still struggling to figure it out.

Thank you Daily Inspiration.

I hope your Friday is indeed all of that. Let the weekend begin!

Take Time

I totally agree.  I have moved forward a lot from a few years ago. I am realizing I am who I am. I like what I like, who I like, and, know somethings about myself will never change. I just needed to accept them and realize if I do, no one else needs to. I figure if someone doesn't like it, they won't hang around. Same with how I look and how I dress. I used to change to fit in and that is stopping. 

Thank you Women Empowerment Corner.

Ah yes, silencing the mind. I felt compelled to add this post today, but am at a loss to say something. Perhaps the mind was indeed silenced. On that note, may your Thursday be a fantastic one!!

A good day.

I went through the whole folder and this was the only post I could find to post today. I went to the doctor yesterday, got a shot that was needed and ended up sleeping 12+ hours. This morning woke up feeling really good, upbeat and happy. Somewhere along the course of this morning that all changed. Other people seem to have a huge influence on us, whether it is something said on line, by phone or in person. I perhaps may be more so, being more empathetic than others. It is often why I prefer to just keep to myself... but I understand that is not good all of the time. 

So, in trying to keep a good attitude, I will just do this post today. May your day be a good one, regardless of what happens around you today!

 

Happy Spring!

I saw a post about it now being spring and had to look up when it occurred, was today. I was surprised somehow, probably because we have gotten snow and cold since Saturday evening. Does not feel 'springy' at all. 

I like this wheel. It shows all the areas, makes me think of total care and many options for each one. I am thinking of how I can blow it up and maybe print it out. Good reminder. 

Thank you Dr. Doyle!

Again, I had not thought about this until I saw this post. I can think back to being anxious and indeed, it is the control issue.  

Thank you Heartly Simple

Thank you Gardendale Creations.

May your first day of spring on this Tuesday be a blessing and the beginning of a wonderful season. 

 

Good Morning!

Thank you Coffee, Quotes and Me.

We got another inch or so on top of the other inch or so we had gotten the night before. Everything is all white again. Just when I think spring maybe coming, it drops that white, cold stuff. I know, we normally don't see spring until at least April/May but this month we have had a few 50-60 degree days and things were starting to pop, so it tends to fool me.

It seems like winter is the time when so many of us become depressed from everything, and those things we have not healed become more 'in our face'. Summer things don't seem so bad. 

May your Monday be full of sunshine, if not outside your window, at least in your smile!

 

Feeling, Facing and Releasing

Thank you Spirit Trails!

I would not have believed it had I not done it and it does work. Very difficult, but the first time is the hardest. It gets easier with practice. 

That is when they do it on purpose. When someone does something and doesn't mean to, they seem surprised when you call them on it. Like being put off when contacting... there are a lot of excuses. After a while do you see them for honest excuses or being put off? Hard to tell. But, definitely you are not on their 'high list' to spend time with, unless it is at their convenience. It hurts, to realize that. So again, we face it, accept it and decide what we are going to do. It is often hard to discern what is behind why, meant or not, but if the friendship is worth anything, it will eventually have to be discussed or released. 

So many posts about the above. I think there are posts for everything these days. I am having more problems finding those I want to share, use here, or use period! I find so many offensive. A lot of negativity, some are pointing out problems, but the problems are in our face regardless. It also seems like everything that can be said has been said, in almost every way it can be. Seems there should be more things that 'can be said', but not. 

Wishing everyone a Happy St. Patrick's Day and have a good Sunday. 

Can and Can't

I think that is where tough love comes in. You have to let them go through things, or they never learn the lessons needed in life. I don't know how many parents say "I protected my son/daughter too much growing up and now they are not coping..." You  need to be there for them, but they still have to go through the things to learn. It seems we don't learn unless we do. What they learn is that they will be bailed out if they do the wrong thing, not that they should not do it in the first place.

Isn't that what we all want? To know it will be ok regardless, or that someone will be there for us regardless?
