Looking Back

Looking Back

Looking back at some things that have had an influence in my
life, I see now that I should of done some things differently.
This may get long and its ok if no one reads it all or any of it
because it will make me feel better by writing it.

I know now that I will never again let someone influence me and what
I have to do about any given situation that I have only met on the internet.
I let some one whom I thought was a good friend talk me into doing
something and because of what the person whom I thought was a friend
instagated it caused me to lose some other internet friends. The friend
who started it all came out smelling like roses and got what they wanted.
They still have all the friends we had in common. This friend said to
keep in touch, why should I make the effort of keeping the friendship when
they dont or wont respond to instant messages or emails? Did I learn from
what this so called friend and I did? Yes, I learned that you can never trust
some people whom you thought you knew just by talking to them on the internet.
I learned not to trust so freely. Not to give of myself until I know the people
I talk to on the internet better and to trust in my intution. To be the person
that I am with every one on the internet and if they dont like me for me and
the person that I am then I will still talk to them, be nice, but less giving in
certain areas of the friendship about what I share or dont share with them.

Do I regret what I let this internet friend talk me into doing? Yes, I do and
I wont let internet friends talk me into doing something like that again. I have
told my other friends that I was sorry. That didnt change any thing other than
they now no longer talk to me. I thought that they were really my friends
but now I am not so sure they were.

Life is about growing up and learning to be responsible for your actions.
Life is about taking care of yourself regardless of what others think you should
do. Life is about doing what you think is the best thing for you. Life if for living, having fun along with the bad times. Pain is part of the growing process. We all have things in our lives that cause us pain and stress. We just have to learn how to deal with the pain, let problems go and move on.

Forgive and forget. Easy said, but not so easy to do. Yet we expect others to do it. The past we cant change, all we can do is live in the present and try not to let the past influence who we are and how we act in the present.

Each new day brings change. Change for the better or for the worse its still a part
of our lives. Yesterday is gone, today is the here and now, tomorrow is the future.
Tomorrow may never come. Live for today. Tell those you love, that you love them
for you may not have the chance to tomorrow. Right past wrongs and move on with
life. Change the things that bother you and let go of the things that you cant change.
Think about what your doing and saying and how it will effect the people you love and care about before doing it.

Emotions are fragile feelings at times and its so easy to hurt the ones you love and care about. When dealing with family, friends and people in general we need to think about how our actions will effect them. Think about what the consequences of our action could be. How it wil effect all involved in the situation, before carring them out.

I think thats enough for now. I need to go and start my day. So, unti next time, I hope that all is well and good for you and yours in your own little piece of the world.

Feeling Miserable

I haven't been feeling so good lately. I have had a runny nose, sneezing, aching all over, a low grade temp and a sore throat off and on. I dont feel really sick, just bad enough to make me feel miserable. To make me not feel like doing much of any thing. I have been cat napping when I can sleep. I havent been able to sleep much during the night.

I am baby sitting this week and I hope whatever bug it is that I have they dont get.

Until next time I wish you and yours good health and happiness in your own little piece of the world.

Learning A Lesson

Today, I learned a lesson. What did I learn you ask?

I learned that if you try to be nice to someone and help them out, that its possible for them to take advantage of you. Not all people do. But I thought I was doing something good for some one I barely knew and they took advantage of my kindness and now that kindness is costing me money I dont have. I learned not to put any one else on my cell phone plan. You can suspend their service but still have to pay the monthly fee for having them added to your plan. You can terminate them but have to pay the for their time left on your contract.

If you ever suspend someones service from your cell plan, be sure to put a PURCHASE BLOCKER ON THEIR PHONE NUMBER! Other wise they can download or purchase things from third parties and it will be on your cell bill. This happened to me. I called my carrier this morning and got some of the charges taken off. They were added after the service had been suspended.

Lesson learned!

So until next time I wish you and yours a good day. I hope things are good for you in your own little piece of the world.

Snow Pics

These pics were taken outside my kitchen door just before Christmas. We had a foot of snow then. The pics are across the alley from the house I live in.

We still have snow today on the ground but not as much as in the pics. They are predicting 2 more inches today.

I hope that you are staying warm. Until next time I hope all is well with you and yours in your own little piece of the world.

Just Rambling Thoughts

Its funny sometimes how things just happen. I may not understand why they happen but I know thats the way it is supposed to be according to my lifes plan. I might not like what happened but I have learned how to deal with it on a daily basis.

Changes good or bad is a part of my daily life and I all I can do is go with what I think is best for me and my family. People come and go in my life and for some reason I am now ok with that. Online friends disappear, some eventually come back into my life just when I need them to. Others are gone for good. Just because they are no longer a part of my life, it doesnt mean they are fogotten. I think of them often and wonder how they are. I pray that they are doing well.

People say one thing but mean something entirely different. They say they are your friend and will always be your friend no matter what. Do they mean it? I dont think so for some has told me this and are no longer a part of my life. I think that they mean it at the time they say it, but things change, life changes people. We just have to take life one day at a time and deal with the changes as they occur. Good or bad its up to us to make the best of the changes.

Do you ever think of the people who were a part of your life but have passed on. I do. I think of my Momma and all the good and bad times. I think of the things left unsaid. Things I have questions about and will never know the answers to now because she is the only person who could tell me the answers. People that are gone and I never got to tell them bye. People who mean a lot to me that I think about all the time. Miss them and wish I could talk to them again. There is no wrong way to grieve or a set time for grieving.

This probably dont make sense to any one else but it does to me and thats what matters.

Until next time I hope all is well with you and yours in your own little piece of the world.

Decisions

It's hard sometimes making decisions. When I make a decision it is based on what I feel is right for me at the time. Some times this means that I could change my mind at a later date but, most of the time I stick to what I have decided. Some times people want me to do things that I dont want to do. I dont want to hurt their feelings by saying no. But some times saying no is the best thing to do.

Even if it means losing some one I thought was a friend, I would still have to say that by feeling like no is best for me, then I have to tell them and deal with losing their friendship. This applies to both real life and online friends.

Today the sun was shining and it was a little bit warmer than in the teens. Yay no more snow today. Heat wave of 30's and 40's coming this coming week and teens at night. I do hope the snow predicted for the coming week doesnt hit us. I am so ready for Spring.

Until next time I hope all is well with you and yours in your own little piece of the world.

Snow and More Snow

All its done this past week is snow. Its snowing now and they are advising people not to go out if they dont have to. The kids here are still home from school. Schools have been closed since they got out for Christmas Break.

The predicted amount for snow this evening is 2-6 inches. Its been in the low teens at night and occasssiionaly in the single digits and in the low 20's or teens during the day.

I am ready for winter to be over and so looking forward to Springs arrival.

So until next time, keep warm and safe out there in your own little piece of the world.

We Got More Snow Last Night

We got more snow last night. Just enough to cover the ground and make the roads slick. I went out and checked the thermometer outside my kitchen door and the temp is 12 degrees.

I did go out and do an errand. It wasnt so bad walking until the wind blew. I will be staying in the rest of the day unless something unexpected comes up.

I am now into making tags and layouts. I have just put a layout on my scrap blog. You can see it here.
I will be adding more scraps later. I will also be adding some blank tags later as well.

I enjoy playing with Paint Shop Pro and trying out plugins and filters. I enjoy things that are unusual and I also like goth things. My two favorite colors are shades of purple and black. My two least favorite colors are pinks and reds.
My layouts and tags are for personal use only and are freebies.
Comments are welcome.

Until next time I hope all is well for you and yours in your own little piece of the world.

A New Year A New Beginning

The start of a new beginning. A new year that will be full of changes, suprises for some people.

I checked my horoscope for today and it kind of goes with one of my new years resolutions. Only time will tell if it comes true or not.

Starting today I am going to try to slowly lose weight. I am going to eat more fruit and veggies and cut out most of the junk foods that I have been eating, or at least limit them to treats. I am going to start riding my exercise bike again at least one mile to start out and see how far I can work up to. Before I quit riding it I was up to 10 miles a day.

I hope that you all have a good day.
Until next time I hope all is well for you and yours in your own little piece of the world.
