Some of My Life Lessons

These are some of the things I've come to learn in my 41 years on this earth.  These are my lessons, some might be the same as yours, some might be different, but these are mine:

 

~ Some of the smartest people I know never went to University or a couple didn't even graduate Highschool.

~ I am the best mom that J Man could have.

~ The car someone drives does not dictate the kind of person they are.

~ Just because I do something in my own way, and own style doesn't make it wrong, doesn't make it right either.  It just makes it mine.

~ Scales may measure our weight, but they don't measure the size of someone's heart.

~ Everyone has value.  Even if you don't agree with them what they say still has value.

~ Gay Rights = Human Rights

~ I fail often.  I'm very thankful there is forgiveness.

~ Labels are limiting.

~ Stereotypes are for those insecure about themselves.

~ I make up my mind about people on how they treat me, my friends and loved ones.

~ It takes a stronger person to allow others to shine, and be themselves than it does to try control them.  This is something I'm still learning about.

~ If I act hut, it is because I feel hurt.  If I act wounded, it is because I feel wounded.  It isn't a game to me.

~ I cry.  I cry when I'm mad, hurt, angry, upset, happy, yup I'm a crier.

~ Money isn't everything.

~ To take pictures I have to look at the world in a different way.  I like looking at the world in that way.

~ I'm a 'lady' because of what I know not what I wear.

~ Boring women have perfect houses.

~ Every line on my face is where it is supposed to be.

~ Sometimes I put things off instead of doing them right away.

 

~ Unconventional is beautiful.

 

~ Cell phones can sometimes be annoying.

 

~ I will take things personally if someone is addressing personal stuff about me.  I'm not evolved enough to be coldly detached when discussing what others see as my personal flaws.

 

~ I'm not as fat as I imagine.  Yeah I don't always buy into this, but I try.

 

~ I try not to congratulate myself to much or berate myself to much too.  Though I do need to work harder on the berating part.

 

~ I dance.  Even if just in my living room.  Just dance.

 

~ I don't read beauty magazines as they make me feel ugly.  I do read magazines about Hollywood insider stuff oops my guilty pleasure.

 

~ I'm not a very patient person...lol.

 

~ I have little time or room in my life for selfish people.

 

~ Religion and Faith are personal, and therefore it is important nay imperative to be respectful of what others believe even when different than mine.  It is when that belief is different than mine when it can be a challenge, but so worth the effort to be respectful.

 

  

I felt a great need to write, and post this today.  I don't know why, but I just felt moved to.  Do you have any life lessons you'd care share?

I feel sad, overwhelmed, not in control, and sorry for myself so this is all I'm going to say today.

Just Going To Have A Massage Therapist Move In...lol

Fair warning I'm just going to complain.  So if you don't want to read complaining well you've been warned.  I just want to complain today.  Do you ever have one of those days where you just want to b*tch & complain.  Well today is my day.  So here I go:

 

~ Omg my shoulder & neck have been sooo sore for days.  It's caused from my cervical ribs i'm almost certain.  So I might have to check out more aggressive treatment.

 

~ That time of the month & well you know what that means PMS, food cravings, mood wings etc

 

~ Just being in pain for the past 4 days from above mentioned shoulder & neck pain is just draining.  Jeremy has been so sweet trying to massage my neck.  Saying Mommy I hope you feel better.

 

~ My place is untidy & i don't want to clean it ~bleh~

 

~ Still have to get Jeremy's Halloween Costume

 

~ Soooo very tired & that comes from the PMS & my shoulder pain just having a hard time getting comfortable.

 

I think I've complained enough.  I'm just going to have a massage therapist move in so that I & Chris can be massaged any time we need.  Hate food cravings I'm sitting here right now & I'd give my right arm for a Wor Wonton Soup or Hot & Sour Soup.  Yup so if you are near Wetaskiwin & can use an extra right am swing by with that soup & we'll make a deal.

 

There are so many other things I want to write about.  Like the use of to many products in the home, censorship, taking baby steps in cutting down on use of paper.  Did you know there are people out there who don't use toilet paper.  Well what do they use instead?  I'd also love to write more about crafting, knitting, quilting, photography (want to do more photography myself), art, painting (i need to paint more), thrifty christmas & my ideas for gifts.  These are things I want to delve into.  Instead I'm complaining, but that's where I am in my head space at the moment so I'm thinking I should honour that.  Or at least give it a voice & I'll return the regular scheduled posts when my complaining mood passes...lol.

 

Thanks for listening everyone.

Blogging Followers/Following

I'm writing this as I want to write something, but I'm just not in the head space to write anything deeper...lol.

 

So I've been wondering this lately what draws you to follow a blog?  Me?  I like blogs & follow blogs for many reasons:

~ if they are funny

~ great pictures

~ talented artists doesn't matter what I follow digital artists, photographers, quilters, chefs, carvers, jewelry makers, knitters, crafters the list goes on...

~ if they have a green/fugual slant

~ or if they just strike me on that day...

 

I do find one thing I don't care for is music on blogs which I know is very strange.  I think it has to do with the fact that I'm listening to the radio, my own music, or a political clip on youtube & find music from a blog distracts me.

 

So what draws you to a blog to follow?

 

I'm feeling anxious & worried the love of my life Chris is feeling down & there is nothing I can do about it other than be there for him.  I wish I could do more in that regard to help him. 

How Do I Put Something Into Words When I'm Not Sure Exactly What I'm Feeling

I'm out of sorts & all over the place today mentally & emotionally.  Actually it started last night & carried over into this morning.  I was rushing to get supper & homework done so that I could make it to belly dance class.  That just left me all frazzled.  I didn't sleep well so that added to my frazzled feeling.  My place is all cluttered at the moment & not in order so that doesn't help.  I feel grumpy & selfish.  I hate feeling selfish.  I hate feeling grumpy.  I also feel all raw & sensitive emotionally.  I don't get it I'm at the end of my moon cycle if I didn't know any better I'd say it was PMS, but PMS towards the end of my moon cycle?  I think part of it might be diet I know I've been eating to much sugar lately.  I also know I didn't wake up today making the choice today that today will be a good day.  I think I should have some sort of morning affirmation that I should do every day that includes that.  I just hate starting my day feeling out of sorts & being snappy just makes me feel toxic.

Well I can make the choice that the rest of the day will be better & that choice I'm making now.
