If I threw all my problems in a pile with everyone else's I surely would be willing to take mine back

The expression, "you never really know what you have till it's gone," isn't really true. We always knew what we had. We just never expected it to leave.

i have learned (just this week) - - that they may be my parents, but they aren't positive influencs in my life, and they definitey do not like the positive changes i am making and the fact i am building strength and self-confidence.. But i'm growing okay with that, and determined to keep moving forward, because what matters is how the changes are making *me* feel.. - that i *can* be easy on myself - and for the first time in my life, today, made a decision that allowed me to feel like a load was lifted off my shoulders rather then obsess and be hard on myself for it and set myself unrealistic expectations that would set me up and *know & wait* for the downspiral to happen.. i was able to choose what was a priority to do, set some things aside, and get rid of the rest that was unnecessary to task myself with... Wow, now that is real progress for me.. - that the teenage girl is definitely playing her part in trying to turn her mother gray.. And if she succeeds, i'll accept every one of those gray hairs - as i'll have earned them with worry, pacing floors and sometimes frustration, but *still* believe that parenting is the best decision i've made in life.. While our days can be full of challenges lately - i'm blessed to be a mother of two teenagers, and having such morals and always parenting with such love...i DO love the beings they are becoming, (even if they don't see it themselves yet) Momma does..♥..& is proud. |
i learned along time ago .when to walk away ..this is me walking away ...>

Sometimes you just want to go off!
Hey! If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I'd like (Deleted by Mod), my boss, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on (Deleted by Mod) Lane with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here, with a big ribbon on his head, and I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, (Deleted by Mod), bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit he is! Hallelujah! Holy shit! Where's the Tylenol? |

i have learned:
- there will always be mean-spirited people, and the best way to respond to that is to kill them with kindness.. - that the outdoors, & enjoying nature is my prescription to a positive day! - that being a gentle being, doesn't mean i lay down and take it.. i'm strong and independent, even if i walk in a gentle way on this planet , and THIS planet too, lol.. - that Daddy, ALWAYS has my back.. |
I learn and forget and painfully relearn the same message over and over: I am no one's priority. But I am my own priority. I am the one who must put things in place to ensure I will be taken care of it in my later years. This doesn't have to be a bad thing or a sad thing. This can be an exciting and liberating thing. I have a lot of resources and choices at my fingertips, and I can make something beautiful out of it to look forward to.
I am looking for a financial planner to consult with. I am fantasizing about my long-term peace and happiness. |
Love is.
Love can never die. Love is Eternal. |
Do Never!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even if you know they will anyway? Give consent ever for troopers to search your vehicle. Your resistance to "the man's" pressure will be video taped and while your shit or money will be taken; your case in court will be dismissed or reduced. Police are currently breaking probable cause laws and regularly violating our fourth ammendment rights. Check out vipr units supposedly used by tsa who has been hired to find terrorists on our interstate hiways and oh yeah might as well do drug interdiction too. I leave you with this statistic...10 x's more often the troopers cars are pointed toward east traffic going west...why? That money is coming home and they want that shit. Vipr units or "icecream trucks" xraying us all the time. Every state but four or five has em.

I have learned that I can be my own worst enemy. My ass-umtions cost me 5 years. But now, I'm going to be me and not ass-u-me she is a certain way or has a certain preference. Maybe I was enough all along. *face palm*

MODERATING
Hey there, Okie, Your post was reported for giving a name and street (TMRI- too much real information). I've changed this below and will run on over and do so in your original post. Sometimes when we want to "go off" to this extent it might be better to do so with a few close friends, instead of a public website. Thanks, Jennifer Quote:

that life is so precious and possibly short
that resentment is a waste of precious time that everything happens for a reason, but sometimes i don't understand what the reason could possibly be. |

don't take a bite of fruitcake expecting it to taste different..fruitcake (by it's nature) isn't going to change although hopefully, (at some point) your taste for it will..
|
that i changed my mind, i do not believe that everything happens for a reason.
i've learned that only i can stop feeling so badly about things that i had no control over, reaching out does not help find answers, maybe because there is no answer i've learned that carrying the heavy load for the actions of others is no way to live and that it is time to move on i've learned to let myself be loved and to trust again |

I've learned that this is where everybody disappeared to.
LOL!!! |
I've learned..

I've learned also that not all fruitcakes are equal. They are not all the same. They may look alike, smell alike, even have the same apparent texture, but may be vastly different upon the lips. Another good fruitcake lesson... is not to take the fruitcake when you really want creme brulee... |
LOl Jess very well said !! .. never settle :)

today, you know, just one of those days. so when I read the question, my first response was "apparently nothing" (sarcasm!)
but in truth, i keep learning every day WHO I AM. this turns out to be the main thing i needed to know all those years. |
I have learned, just today, that I really don't want him gone for 5 days every week for at least a year. I have also learned, throughout life, that I don't always get what I *want*.
And here I thought I was all independent and stuff. Not so much I guess when it comes to him. That sucks. LOL!!! |
I've accepted being friends.. and i try everyday to make that happen. i believe once freinds always friends. :) theres a song by musiqu soul child called half crazy . says it all :) i'll just go post it ~
|
I've learned a lot over the years, but one thing that surprised me is that I don't always respond to things the way I thought I would. So many times I've thought..if 'this' happens then 'that' is the way that I would react.
For instance, I thought if I ever got divorced or my husband were to leave me I'd end up in a corner crying my eyes out and being scared to death to face the world. Turns out that I'm doing just fine on my own and life is better than I ever thought it would be. I've learned that sometimes it's best that the thing you really wanted to have happen, doesn't happen at all. But it usually takes a bit of time to figure that one out. |
i have learned.. that friends don't always have your best intentions at heart, and that as i grow on this journey of mine, i learn lessons more and more each day.. Seeing things at face value as they happen and seeing the fierce girl in me, who now protects herself and takes care of herself & those she loves.. Part of me, is so proud of the changes within , but the other part of me feels sadness, for having to see it differently now.. But mostly, i am very grateful for true friends, the ones who have your back & love you for all you are.. and who are truly tickled for your happiness, the changes you make in life and celebrate your successes along with you.. i do have some very kickass friends...<3 |
I have learned....
The hurrier I go, be behinder I get:seeingstars: |
I have learned that nothing worth having is ever easy, do the hard work and all will be worth it !!!!

As a wise woman stated, we are all interconnected. It is a small world. :tiredcomputer:

I have learned that no matter how much you think you know someone you really never did. Until you can be in their head you just don't see the clear picture.

I have learned..........
To appreciate our friends and family, and not wait to tell them how important they are in our lives. Also, and this is the biggest lesson for me, is to take care of our health before repairing damage is almost impossible.
I am grateful for every heartache and disappointment, because I now treasure every success and newfound joy. :byebye: |
what have i learned
picking thru the cherries~of~ life is the pits!
|
Just when you think you might know someone, they will prove you wrong.

That walking around this farm is like a slice of heaven and therapy all in one
That i thrive when i have lots to do That as i visualize what i want to happen, it does. That Syr is the reason that my life is so good. |
I have learned
... I do not think I have a knack for growing flowers.
Thought I would try to do something different. Decided I would grow calla lilies to give to friends when they grew to pretty. I was so excited. All twenty-something came up and are lushy green. Kelly Bully dog dug up, chewed a few bulbs to pieces and something came in the night - ate a couple more but still had plenty. I do not know why they will not make at least one flower. It has been 6 or 8 weeks I think ... or maybe five. I had envisioned making people happy when I distributed them. I continue watering, fertilizing - taking care of them. I think I am a butch with silly dreams. Oh well, not the end of the world by any means. I have learned not to attempt to grow any more flowers. |
Don't give up yet....callas take 3 or 4 months to bloom. They'll get there! :)

as soon as you say that you are going to be celibate, :rollcat: comes flying at you from every direction.............
if it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, and looks like a duck... She's a whore as soon as you say you want to diet, a new flavor of ben and jerry's comes out :seeingstars: just when you think you have all the bills paid, something comes up:readfineprint: as soon as you swear off blonde blue-eyed scorpio yankee women, one steals your heart................:fallenangel: |
There is a good reason why we don't begin life with the knowledge we gain along the way.

Each day is special and best lived well rather than avoided.
I enjoy long hugs and lingering kisses. Deep, intimate conversations are the best. When I realized I had awakened spiritually I found I was avoiding conflict and negativity at all cost. I had to learn there is a big difference between those and the grief process and simply feeling. I thought I had to be above negative emotions. Who'dathunk it. lol. I am glad I figured it out. I can feel my emotions and either let them over take me or I can process them and let it go. "Good girls" DO get angry, they cry, they need, they deserve and they can desire. It was lie I was taught as a child that it was not okay. I like who I am. |
I've (often) learned...
it's the journey i treasure (most), the destination is empty w/o it
