Family

We all have them, but we all do not love them. I am fortunate to have a family that is open and honest with each other and when there is conflict we let each other know about it almost immediately. Some families that I know will sit on topics for awhile and when they cannot stand it any longer, will stay how they feel.

Which is better? I am used to my family and do not understand the other way but maybe it works for some families. which way works for you?

moving forward

Okay, so I am healthy now and moving in the right direction and it seems as if for the most part that life is status quo. I know that is difficult to believe since times are so very difficult for people, but how do I convince the rest of the world that I am a new person. I talk to people that have lost an enormous amount of weight only to tell me that they still feel as if they are the person with all the weight on them.

So, do you really change or do you just modify yourself from time to time?

Realizing life is good

So with all the stuff that happens in life, when do you take the time to realize that life is good for you? I think it is sad at least for me that I mostly do it compared to others. If I have a job is life good? For a while I thought so, but I am finally realizing what is important in life and how to determine how life is good.

Life is good when you make it good and in order to make it good you have to work on getting it better for yourself. simple, no way but the concept is simple.

acceptance

I get asked all the time how do I change? I think that might be the hardest question to ask because how do you? Even if you want to, do you for a little while then revert back to what you know?

How does acceptance affect change? If you learn to accept your situation then does that mean you are giving up? There is so little that you can change in life so is it better just to accept? I would say some things yes and somethings no, depends. If there is something that you can do to make change occur then go for it! If it is out of your control, than acceptance is better to keep you calm.

Still stuggling with asking for help

Okay, so I am working and finally making some money, now does this make me happy? I think the things that I can do with the money makes me happy. I have a hard time asking for help and that issue has gotten me into trouble in the past so I feel as if I need to "earn my keep" not sure why I feel this, but I do and it is imbeaded in me that I need to always make my own money even though if I ask I will get help with things from the ones that love me.

When do you ask for help and when do you suck it up and stick to your guns? Guess that is why life is trial and error because you never know which one is going to work for you.

Weather

I saw a double rainbow this morning and I could see both ends. No, didn't see a pot of gold but for some reason, rainbows give me hope about the future. I have kept my promise to myself about staying optomistic and positive and because of that I am calmer than I was. I am looking out the window now about 6 hours later and it is raining. Does that make a difference when it comes to your mood? Not sure, something about rainy days that makes me want to stay inside and sunny days to go outside. Well, for the most part I am in doors so guess rainny is better.

Not really sure where this is heading, but just thought I would reflex on the rainbow I saw this morning.

car accidents

Okay,
I was driving home last night and the minute i got onto the highway the traffic was not moving. My first reaction was oh no, i'm tired and want to get home. Second and better reaction was, it is okay at least I am going home in one peace.

I always try to remember that the people in the accidents are the ones with the awful days and not the ones waiting in the cars, now if all of us can remember that and learn how to appreciate what we have instead of being upset because we are stuck in traffic for a half an hour.
