Friends & Family


One of the greatest gifts we are given in this life is other people.  Other people are there to help us gain perspective on our life journey .  They are there for us to help them and we are there for them to help us.  We are not meant to be alone.  This is a 'truth' that I have know for my entire life.

I have sometimes been criticized by others for having too many friends or for using others for my own gain or for sharing too much with people.  It would drive my kids nuts when I talked to others in the grocery line.  I have always believed that all of the people in the world are here to help and heal others.

The greatest group of people are those we call friends and family.  They are the ones who know us.  They are the ones who love us no matter what.  Friends and family are people who we would do anything for.  They are the people who we give our trust to.  They are who we love.

Friends and family help make us who we are today and without them, we would not be complete.

Mid Life ... Crisis or Not

Image
As I mentioned yesterday, perhaps I'm in a midlife crisis.  I've been reading several articles and blogs:  The Midlife Crisis ,  10 Signs , and  Is it Real?  to name a few.  So I've decided, I am in a crisis and it is in the middle of my life.  But I'm not going to buy anything elaborate --- except maybe that trip to Ireland I'm planning this year.  I've been overly stressed and overwhelmed. I've been worried about my health and well being and I do feel inadequate in both my family and professional life though and that bothers me.  Nothing really has changed except my perception.  At least that's what I keep telling myself.  It's all me and how I look at things. And then I don't believe myself --- which causes a crisis!  UGH!

Movie Night

Image
It's family movie night at our house.  We just finished watching Earth to ECHO , a movie none of us had seen before. I liked it.  It was Sandlot ish... about a group of childhood friends, solving a problem and becoming better friends because of it.  It also reminded me of the Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind, Flight of the Navigator , or  ET as the plot envolved children and space creatures or aliens. Next up is Big Hero 6 which we saw in the movie theatre and I wrote about in November.  I hope I can stay awake til the end. After that, they may watch The Book of Life but I'm sure I'll be asleep by then.  I love movie nightA

Just Laugh

Image
I think the best people in the world are those that can laugh at themselves.  Laughing is good for the soul.  It's healthy.  It's contagious.  It makes me smile just writing about it. During the month of April, our school is focusing on the life skill of having a sense of humor.  Making light of situations is a great way to cope with the things you are going through.  And if you can find a way to laugh at it, the situation may not get you down. I am blessed to find the good and to especially find the humor in the awkward and sometimes painful situations I have lived through in my life's journey.
