Right or Wrong where do you fall in these categories?

It’s easy to see the outside signs when your children are growing up but it’s hard to see the inside signs.  Signs of problems that will cross their paths when they are grown.  As a mother are there things that are out of our control?  Yes, please tell me how do we deal with our adult children when we see them dwindling away?  As a young person I had to deal with a lot, but in all of it, two words keep coming back to me, right or wrong.  Is it as simple as that or is there more to it.  I always said that the right was God and the wrong was the devil and I still believe if we listen he speaks to us for the good of us.  And maybe that doesn’t always mean for the good of others, by this I mean what is good for me may not be good for you.  Circumstances always have to come into the scenario, but take money out of this. We are talking relationships of life.  There is a difference between complaining and explaining but the problem is when someone is explaining you may take it as complaining because of your state of mine.   If someone sees the reason you did something  and voices it, that does not mean they are a hater. When someone listens to someone else words we need to keep ourselves out of the voice of another and only hear the words.   And that my friend is the beat of my day…

Hello world

2011 didn't do many posts but now it's 2012, I'm getting back into it.  What was your last year like?  Mine was full of yard work crocheting, helping Helen live a better life. 

I've been going and helping this 93 year old and she's seen a lot of life.  We go out to eat do our nails and look at the sky in my convertible.  Yes I'm 62 and life is good, because I've realized that life is only good when you live it.  When raising my children that was my goal but now with my children and grandchildren so far away I have to find a way to now enjoy this life I have.  It's funny but I wished I had this attitude when I was raising my children.  I love social media because it's an amazing thing to see what's happening all around the world and know these people have some of the same problems.  Life is good so stay around positive people who love to laugh!!  Don't take advantage of people, be honest and all will be yours...

Old year

As the end of 2011 is upon us, I reflect on the year that is about to pass.  I haven’t been doing much on social media, why I don’t know but I do know it’s been a ride.

What has made a difference in your life this year?  People have made a difference in mine.  I have 2 friends that have disconnected from me and I don’t know why but in this disconnection many more things have came into my life.  I have found the blue skys and the flowers of this earth.  Yes I’ve been looking at the beauty of the earth this year and found lots of people who do for others without anything in return.  I guess in a disconnection we find wonderful connections and maybe this is what my friends found.  Life is short and we should live each day as if it is the last.  A few days ago a person who came into my life this year call to say she had put me some treats aside and wished me happy holidays.  This was a kind and thoughtful person because she was thinking of someone else.  Thank you Diva for your kindness.  If we all walk through our day with kindness for others we will be blessed to walk this day.  So tomorrow is still 2011 and I will enjoy that day.

Time to Remember

It’s a time to remember life as it should be, the smiles of little children, the life of someone who has gone on.  I have always celebrated the life of someone and not the date of their death.  We should celebrate love ones and friends life and in this we remember some wonderful times.  This time here on earth is so short.  If we could just remember how blessed we are and not how much money we have or have not we could live a life of smiles and love.  The smallest thing in this world may be the biggest thing people remember you for.  So as you go forth this Holiday please remember to be kind to everyone, even the check out person who is not responsible that the price is wrong or the store didn’t stock enough of that item.  Remember if you give kindness, it comes back to you..  Everyone have a Merry Christmas or whatever Holiday you celebrate and Be Kind

Love Maude
