"ANGELS ON EARTH"

There are so many people around us in our everyday lives that what may seem so small to them do the most beautiful caring things for others and don't even realize it. It might be always being there for thier friends when thier in need or just taking the time to understand that no mater how much someone may seem different they have a heart that beats just as you and I do. It means a lot to just care for someone who may not be fortuniate enough to have someone to care for them or lift them up and make them understand they are special too. In our eveyday busy lives we don't always take the time to do something to help others as much as we should. life is to short not to share every bit of love we carry in our hearts with others in need. When ever I do something for someone the reward is the feeling that I get when I see someone happy that is a wonderful gift in itself.So let me take this moment to thank everyone who ever said a kind word or did a wonderful act of kindness for someone who needed it they are true angels on earth.

We all need a laugh once in a while, laughter is it's own medicine.

Do you have some funny stories? I would love to hear them......

"LEARNING AS I GO"

I will be the first to admit,I'm definitely not good at saying no it has always been a challenge for me . My family always told me I was trusting to a fault even as a child I would believe just about anything my friends would tell me. Wow I am 38 and I am just now realizing it's not gonna kill anyone if you tell them no. I am not going to be a door Matt for anyone, don't get me wrong I do have some friends that are here for me and not for what I can do for them. "You know" the ones that no matter what happens and when all the smoke clears they are still standing beside you.True friends are so hard to find so when you find one hold on to them. Another thing I am learning is that I need to quit trying to please everyone it's impossible. You can't please everyone all the time so quit trying.



Tell me whats a challenge for you....
P.S. To all of you that are my true friends...THANKS!

"A Time For Change"

I woke up yesterday and told myself it was time to stop letting myself go. When my two daughters started letting me know that I was a embarrassment to them, so I decided to go and get a knew cut and style of course I took them along for some input and they sure let the stylist know they wanted me to look younger since I looked ancient now as they told me. So I let the stylist pick and she picked a short sassy look and the girls approved. It really didn't look bad I just have to get use to it. As we drove away from the salon my oldest daughter told me, now go home and put some makeup on. Just to let you know I didn't go home and put makeup on. Well I feel like I am on the road to becoming more like the old me the fun me that wants to get out and do things and be able to laugh again. Wow it's amazing what one small change can do!

"The Start Of A New Day"

I get up to find that just like most days my girls want to stay in bed so on with the drama of getting them up and off to school. After getting them to school I sit in the driveway missing my father I start to have a short cry feeling alone at that moment I try to call my friends which after trying several I do get a hold of one and talk for a few minutes. We are after all only human we all need to talk to someone sometimes for me I feel like I can't talk to anyone in my home they all have there own problems. I try so hard to be strong , at least in front of everyone. Some days I just feel like giving up I miss all the family members I have lost this past year, my fater,uncle and mother in law. my brother is also sick just diagnosed with pancreatic cancer he is my big brother , my only brother they say he doesn't have alot of time I don't want to even think of him leaving me. The biggest thing that keeps me going is my children, I can be having the worst day ever and look into there eyes and everything is ok for that moment. I keep telling myself to get it together and start getting on with my life. The day my father passed away was the day I feel like I stopped being me , the old me something in me changed now I always seem depressed and yes the doctor put me on meds that don't really work. I have always been able to talk to my father and now that he is gone I am lost. He taught me to be a strong person so I know with time and Gods help I will heal and be the person I once was. I still put on the happy face for my two girls , every weekend with thier friends over I act like nothing is wrong I want to be a great mom or at least try to be.

I could sit here and make a list of things that stress me that's a mile long but, the things that are stressing me most right now are probably some that are what a lot of people are dealing with as well. I have had several deaths in my family this past year my Father being the hardest to deal with, I have a teenage daughter that is so boy crazy and doing things that are supposedly labeled as going trough a stage as they call it. I can look back and never would imagine she would be doing the things she is doing this year. There is a fine line between being to strict and not strict enough I know that we do not get handbooks so we have to do the best with our children and hope they grow up to be a contributing member of society. I help all my family members and they can always lean on me but it seems that I don't have anyone to lean on, It's pretty bad when you are good at helping fix things for everyone but you can't fix yourself. The best thing do is get time to myself even if it's just sitting in my car in the morning after taking my girls to school. I love my two girls with all of my heart they are my world. Do you ever feel like you are alone even if you have a house full of people around you? It is helping me to be able to write this to everyone it is like a release. Thanks and please comment
