Failure to Launch

When is it time to break away from the protective arms of our parents into this cruel and defiant world? Is there a time frame or is it different for everyone? Guess what, your opportunity depends on how soon you jump in or....out lol!! We often wonder why animals push or in some instances leave their young. Its simple, experience is the best teacher ! You have to get out there and break away in order to develop your own sense of life and living. So the longer you let your parents lead your life the harder it will be for you to  gain REAL control of your life!!  Trust me,  experience  has taught me this very important life lesson!!! Don't get me wrong here, parents are always good teachers but experience always has a result that we can learn first hand from; this allows us to become our OWN person!  Its like a seed:  you plant it, tend to and nurture it but when the time is right you ...

"Waste Not Want Not"

People always confuse the more is more scenario, thinking that less could not possibly satisfy them, when they actually have everything that they need. Have you ever heard that person who complains about everything, even down to the very air that they must "unfortunately" breathe. That is just a sign of a person who will "never" be satisfied which is besides the point and another topic :).  Today I came out to my porch, looked up into the sky and thought of all the wonderful things that I have to be grateful for. Of course I have issues, everyone does!! Its factual that all bad or even good things can be worse. That being said.....Its important that we VALUE the present and every ounce of GOOD that exists in our lives or we could find ourselves forever trapped by the burdens of our own greediness. Love lots Dee  ...Next time.

"When we GROW up"!?!

It seems like, as soon as we hit puberty  or maybe before, we "know the world". I mean no one can tell us anything, not even whats good for us. Then when we hit a certain age we realize that we didn't know much of anything and we were lucky we made as far as we did .  When we are growing into ourselves it is very difficult to tell if we are doing the right things because we don't yet know who we are.  It took me as long as my third child to really grow up(10 yrs)(0_0). As sad as it sounds its pretty REAL. These days its hard to judge because you really never know what a person has gone through or what has happened to them that caused them to stagnate. A person has to go through things to develop. The things that we endure end up molding us into who we are. Today , I am a down to earth , moderately social young lady. However, I enjoy staying to myself because I'm less exhausted mentally. LOL.... strange but ...
